Mediation Headquarters, Clifton Ho-
TEL. Niagara Falls, Ont, May 25.-
That the delegates of President
Huerta had accepted proposal by
the "A-B-C" mediators that commits
sion of leading Mexicans be created to
govern Mexico Professionally was re-
port in general circulation here. The
American delegates were summoned
to the mediation headquarters at noon,
shortly after the Huerta delegates and
the Latin-American ENJOYS had held
a conference.
In order to have a commission
chosen to govern Mexico, it 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-
sented a tentative list of names to be
taken under consideration of members
of the commission.
Working Basis Is Reached.
That at least working basis of agree
ment had been reached was shown
when Justice Joseph R. Lamar, one
of the American delegates, announced
that the first full conference would
be held at the request of the media
tors. This announcement came after
the second conference of the day, that
between the Americans and the medi-
ators. When it was over at 12:49
p. m. Justice Lamar said:
''We have just arranged for the
first full conference. We were called
over here to see about it, and we
shall all meet together for the first
time in the evening.
81 cannot say what we shall dis
cuss. l really do not know what the
mediators will have to offer to us. We
shall come prepared to hear what may
be said
New Mediation Tangle:
A new tangle was added to the me-
diation conference being conducted
by the "A-B-C" ENJOYS here when
code dispatches we're 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 moi
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
ish petitioners declared, would NEAR
further conquest of Central America
by the Yankees and would imperil the
republics still farther south
The mediators were begged to take
a stand that would prevent aggression
by the United States.
Conferences were resumed at IL: 10
the Mexicans going into the media
ton room with the South Americana
for long discussion of the American
proposals of last night.
