AMERICAN ENJOYS
POWERS LIMITED

would be referred for final decision to
the President and Secretary OF State
at Washington. Suggestions will not
be made, Mr., Lansing explained. by
any Of the parties to the mediation. all
proposals coming from the mediators.
but the representatives would be FREQ
to present information pertinent to the
discussion.
Mr.. Lansing said the American ennis
saries could have certain instructions
and probably would be able to partici-
pate in the elimination Of some points
in the proposals as they were made.
He indicated that as the mediators met
first with the representatives Of one
side and then with the other, each
party expressing views or eliminating
points. the tendency of the programme
would be to arrive at middle ground
Of agreement.
Luncheon for Mexican ENJOYS.
The time of the departure Of the
mediators for Niagara Falls is again
in doubt. It is the desire Of the Span
ish Ambassador to give a luncheon In
honor OF the Mexican delegates on
Saturday, provided they can reach
Washington by that time. 1t had been
the purpose of the Argentine Minister
to leave here for Niagara Falls on Fri
day. but if the luncheon at the Spanish
Embassy proves feasible he will defer
his departure until Saturday When
he leaves Washington ne probably will
be accompanied by the Gillian Min
lister.
The Brazilian Ambassador will go TO
New York on Saturday, where Nine.
da Cana now is, and Will proceed
thence to Niagara Falls on Sunday.
Lieutenant Commander Raider de
Aquino, naval attache Of the Brazilian
Embassy, will leave here tomorrow for
Niagara Falls to make the preliminary
arrangements for the mediators.
The plan reported in some quarters
as having been agreed upon for the
settlement OF Mexico's troubles has
been suggested to the mediators, but
so have numerous others. No plan will
be seriously considered. however, until
the mediators have heard the views or
the delegates to the conference. That
some plan providing for the combining
Of Mexico's affairs temporarily to
provisional government will be adopted
Is probable, as has been foretold in
these dispatches.
Considerable comment was created in
Washington by the dispatch Of Richard
Harding Davis, especially his COM
harrison between the methods OF Sir
Lionel Garden and those Of the
Brazilian Minister, Senior de Oliveira.
At the Department OF State it was de-
clared that the advantage TO the United
States OF being represented In Mexico
by an American country must be OBJ
vious to those who stopped TO think.
although II was probably true that, in
asmuch az Brazil has never recognized
Huerta. the minister OF that country
must proceed with greater caution than
the British Minister. whose country has
recognized the de facto President.
1t was suggested, furthermore. that
the very fact that Brazil is looking
after the interests OF the United States
must make the diplomatic represent
alive OF Brazil more cautious than need
be the representative Of Great Britain.
In his statement that the Mexican
government had consented TO his visit
to Mexico City. through the Brazilian
Am ba ssador in this city. Mr.. DAVIS
