of foreign affairs.
1t was learned that the appoint
ment OF Carbajal, who took office
yesterday. is part of general pro-
gram by which 1t is hoped to make
peace with the lists.
The Fuerta delegates to the Niagara
conference are understood to have
been awaiting this move for several
days. Carbajal has long been n
member OF the supreme court Of
Mexico and on May 81 last was elect
ed chief justice.
Realizing that the constitutional
list generals would disapprove the
plan for peace conferences with Rep
resentatives of General Huerta as
proposed by the mediators because
they don't wish to have dealings
in any form with Huerta, the sug-
gestion was made to the Huerta
group that another man be placed
in power with whom the constitu-
tionalis.s might feel disposed to
treat.
Carbajal is a member OF the class
which supported Huerta. but is re-
garded as having liberal sympathies.
He was the peace envoy whom Cen
eral Poroforio Diaz sent to Juarez
In 1911 and arranged with Madero
for the transfer OF power to the sue
cessful revolutionists.
1t Is believed here that Carbajal
<1 nf
peace which would be virtually
terms of surrender. The people in
Mexico City are reported apprehen-
sive Of military conquest of the
capital and the efforts of an in
fluential class are believed to be d.
rected toward arranging a peaceful
transfer of power.
There would be no necessity for
large army to enter the Mexican
capital under such a plan, but mere
ly a few thousand men, able to main
tain order, If the federal troops evac-
uated. With the naming OF Carba-
ial renewed efforts will be made, 1t
is understood, by the Mexican dele
gates who were at the Niagara me
,iiation to bring about peace con-
ference. Washington representa-
tives Of General CarranZa are iE ia
vor of such a plan.
