tel, Niagara Falls, Ont, May 25.-

Huerta had accepted a proposal by
the Abe mediators that a commits
sion OF leading Nexicans be created to
govern Mexico Professionally was a re-
port in general circulation here. Tho
American delegates we're summoned
to the mediation headquarters at noon,
shortly after the Huerta delegates aud
the Latin-American ENJOYS had held
a conference.
In order to have commission
chosen TO govern Mexico, 1t would be
necessary for Huerta to retire from
office. Not only did the report indi-
cate that the Mexicans had accepted
the proposal, but they also intimate
that the Huerta delegates had pre-
scented a tentative list of names to be
taken under consideration of members
of the commission.
Working Basis Is Reached.

ment had been reached was shown
when Justice Joseph r. Lamar. one
OF the American delegates. announced
that the first full conference would

p. m. Justice lamar said:

first full conference. We were called

New Mediation Tangle.
A new tangle was added to the me-
diation conference being conducted
by the ARC" ENJOYS here when
code dispatches were received by the
South American representatives. They
came from Buenos Ayres, Santiago
and Rio Janeiro, capitals respective
ly of Argentine, Chill and Brazil, and
also from London.
1t is understood that in the London
dispatch a powerful appeal was made
by British interests to the mediators
to protect the business interests not
only in Mexico, but OF all Latin-Ameri-
ca, against the "dictatorial policy OF
the United States" The fall of Huerta
was pictured as the forerunner OF an
archy and Wholesale murder through
out Mexico, to be followed by Ameri-
can conquest This in turn, the Brit
fish petitioners declared, would mean
a further conquest OF Central America
by the Yankees and would imperil the
republics still farther south.
The msdiators were begged &c take
q stand that would prevent aggression
by the United States.
Conferences were resumed at IL 10,
the NeIicans going into the media
ton room with the South Americans
for a long discussion OF the American
proposals of last night.
