HUERTA READY
To QUIT OFFICE
Will Retire if Necessary to
Secure Peace.
MILITARY MEN BARRED
Said Mexican Delegates to Conference
at Niagara Falls Will Not Listen to
Selection of Any Rebel Leader as
President of the Republic.

FFeStuenI OF nCpuDilIs
Washington, May 19.-General Huer-
ia has authorized the Mexican media
tion delegates to submit his resigna-
ton. in case such a course is found
necessary to a settlement in peace
negotiations. This was stated posi-
lively in dispatches from thoroughly
competent diplomatic source in Mex
leo City to one of the foreign repre-
sentaives here and confirms iGtima-
tions given by friends of the delegates
here.
According to this information from
Mexico City General Huerta at first
authorized the delegates to discuss
only the question of the Tampico con
fiict, leading to the American occupa-
tion of Vera Cruz.
Later the Mexican dictator, it is ex.
planned, came to recognize the neces-
sity of broader settlement and then
conveyed to the delegates assurances
that he was prepared to step down
should this course be found necessary
ty them.
Form of Rule PuzzIing.
The problem causing chief concern
to diplomats in Mexico City now Is
that OF the form of administration tc
be established during the interregnun
before a constitutionally elected pres
iCent could assume office.
No intimations concerning the name
of a possible successor to Huertf
were contained in the dispatch, thi:
subject being one in which 1t would
be necessary to consult Constitution
alists and other leaders in Mexico.
The information of Huertas atti
tude now received through foreigl
diplomatic channels agrees with tn,
view obtained by some of the clos'
friends of the Mexicans during thei
stop here. According TO this view tn
delegates realized that the present ad
ministration at Mexico City was fas
going to pieces, and it was inevitabl
authority 1t did not, however. dis
close that Huerta had authorized hi
resignation, if thet considered tina
course necessary, and this more del
mite phase was first made known i
the dispatch through diplomatic char
nels.
Delegates Desire Peace.
The Mexican delegates are nc
Huertistas. but represent broadly tn
best elements in the federal district
desirous of bringing about an orderl
government in that section an
throughout Mexico. In that respec
their wishes are believed to co
respond with the wishes and inter
tions of the American government.
Who will come after Huert'
whether an individual or a provision

ton, but it is gathered that the su
cession will not be likely to fall @

No Nation Is Spared.

spared Atrocities committed upon
the noncombatant Moslems in Mace

crimes committed by the race from
which the Christian nations were sup
posed to have received their educa

The barbarous acts and inhuman re-
prisals performed by Bulgarians,
Servians and Greeks against each
other would be incredible if they were
rot supported by unquestionable evi
dence.
Our document" says the report
gives particulars, village by village
of the Moslems who were killed anc
robbed In the villages all these eX
cesses seem to have been the work o
local Greek bands The most active
of these bands was led by prizes
and a wariike grocer who was mem
ber of the bishops council. TIL,
Turks, indeed, accused the bishop o
directing all these atrocities"
One band, under a notorious guer

up the men in mosques and burne'
them alive or shot them as they al

New York, May 19-Results of an

with view to clarifying public opin.
ion, which has been baflled by con

Pessimism based on the terrible

characterizes the conclusions Of the
commission as to the possibilities o.
Immediate peace or stability amonl
the Balkan nations.
The commission found conditions o
desolation, utter wretchedness and 50
cial and moral disintegration which
defied full portrayal even in its com
