Foreign Affairs

Washington, July 11.-Information
has been received from Mexico City
by diplomats here saying that Huerta
would resign within a couple of days
i'm favor OF Francisco Carbarjal, newly
appointed minister of foreign affairs.
1t was learned that the appoint
ment of Carbajal, who took office yes
terday, is part OF a general program
by which il hoped to make peace with
the Constitutionalsts. The Huerta
delegates to the Niagara conference
are understood to have been awaiting
this move for several days. Carba iai
was long a member OF the supreme
court OF Mexico and recently was
elected chief Justice. 1t is believed
Carbajal will endeavor to arrange
terms of peace which will be virtually
terms OF surrender.

are apprehensive OF a military con-
quest, and an effort by the influential
class is believed To be directed toward
arranging peaceful transfer OF power

plan, but merely a few thousand men
10 maintain order il the federal troops
evacuated.
Rebel Convention Is Planned.

Villa conclliation conference here an
effort to prevent Carranza or any of

presidency, or the vice presidency.
failed to be adopted according to an
official statement. The motion was
made by the Villa delegates. A mo-
ticn was passed, however, demanding
that the first chief. as president at the
interim at the triumph of the revolu
tion, should call a committee of dele
gates, representing the rebel army,
which would fix a date and arrange
for an election. Resolutions were
adopted condemning what was declar
ed to be the activity of the clergy in
assisting the Huerta government.
This action followed a fight in which
the villa delegates attempted 20 elini- |
nate any military leader including

ties. Those recommended for tNe FRO
visional cabinet included Calderon,
Cabrera and Bonilla.
