MEDIATION OF REVOLUTION
APPEARS VERY UNSETTLED

Washington, June 29.-Mediation Of
the revolution appeared unsettled here
tonight The Carranza agents con
ferred frequently. Several left for
New York and others probably viii so
in the next few days. Though the
Carranza representatives denied first
hand knowledge of the reports that
Villas army had withdrawn from
Ia catecas or news that the Nilla-Car-
rama breach is widening there was
considerable uneasiness among the
local ConstitutiOnaliStS.
Administration leaders would not
discuss the recent developments, Will
son telling his callers he is still deter
mined not TO talk Mexico. Bryan was
silent.
Cabrera today declared he believed
Carranza would send delegates to meet
the Huerta representatives and confer
a bout a provisional government. Car
rama told an informal conference it
would do no harm to the constitutions

was reached. In the event of no
agreement, it is argued the military
campaign will be carried on with un-
diminished vigOr

Niagara. Falls, June 29.-Mediation
tonight is in a complex state. The
principals are undecided whether to
adjourn formally or recess and renew
their efforts through the United states
to bring the Huerta- a-ConstitutionaIist
delegates Together. SkepiCism has
arisen among many whether anything
valuable has been done by mediation.
Averting a war eSnerally admitted but
of the actual pacifcation of Mexico
few see any progress
The Huerta delegates are willing to
wait a reasonable time for the Con-
stitutionalist delegates to arrive, but
not indefinitely. The United States
delegates will remain as long as there
is any hope. In the meantime, the
widening NIlla-C -CarranZa breach and
the wea l1of resistance of the Huerta
troops IS producing grave apprehen-
sion that a military conquest of Mex
leo City is likely while mediation is
in session and perhaps provoke the in
terna tional controversy anew.
