Wilson Talks Peace.

wilson Talks Peace. | Washington, June 20.-President
 Wilson today authorized the state
 ment that the outlook for the success
 of mediation in the Mexican situation
 was more hopeful than ever. l He made known this attitude in
 view of his conference last night with
 one of the South American medators, Dr. Romuelo s. Naol, the Argentine
 minister, who came to Washington to
 consult with the president and Sec
 retary Bryan.
 Seereary Bryan also declared that
 hopes for sHceess of mediation were
 by no means blasted, despite the ap- parent diplomatic deadlock at Niagara
 Falls, and the president and secretary
 of state were supported in this view | by Minister Naon when he returned
 to Niagara Falls with the declaration
 that he never had been more confi-
 dent of the success of mediation. Officials here would give no formal
 explanation of the basis of their
 hopes, but indicated that joint media | tion deliberations would be resumed
 Monday. In this view they were up-
 held by actual developements. Mr. Naol's return to Niagara Falls having
 resulted in postponement of the next joint conference until Monday. | Developments in the ranks of the i constitutionalists chiefly the break between General Villa and General
 Carranza were reported here to have
 opened the way for a break in the
 mediation deadlock.
 President Wilson is declared to
 have explained thoroughly to MT.
 Naon that the reason for the United
 States insistence upon the selection of ia man for provisional president of Mexico who would be acceptable to
 the constitutionalists was that the re- lyo't against the present form of gov
 ernment in Mexico never couid be stemmed unless there were actual re- form
 The United States, it is said, took | the position that the opportunity was presented for giving all Mexicans a chance for advancement and that every leader could be brought to reason on this basis. If the govern
 ment of Mexico should not be re-
 organized now, it was argued, that
 bloodshed aad the horrors of war
 would continue until such re-organiz-
 Ation is accomplished
 General Huerta was declared to be cegnizant of this situation and willing l to yield to the common enemy should persona ambitions be waived. Gen. l era Carranza also was reported to be willing to accept a provisional gov
 ernment that would supervise a con- stimtonal election and even General Villa, the military power in the revol-
 ution, was said to be willing to sub stitute reason for bullets. Involved in such a settlement it
 was pointed out, would be the busi- ness interests of citizens of other nations
 All that the United States Insists, | it is now reported, is that the provis- ional government of Mexico to sue ceed Huerta regime shall dominate by recognized representatives of re- form. Allied with them in the provis- ional government would he men rep resenting the scientifics of the repub- | lie.
 That the internal conflict could be stayed, pending an effort to re-organ- ize the government of Mexico on such 8 basis and that General Huerta's delegates to Niagara Falls, with as- surance of cooperation from respon- sibIe leaders of the revolutiohists, could be induced to yield to the posi- tion of the United States in the crisis was believed in official quarters here to be probable.
