MEDIATION PLAN
 IS NOT ACCEPTABLE Rebels Will Agree to Moth ing But Elimination of
 Huerta and Party

El Paso Tex. May 12.--The plan for the pacification of Mexico now being worsed out by the South American mediators and which, it is announced, would eimi- nate Huerta and establish a provisional government in which both the adherents of Huerta and the constitutional would be represented. will not be acceptable to the constitutonalsts, according to con- stitutionalist officers here.
 The constitutionalists will agree to nothing less than the complete elimina- ton, not only of Huerta, but of his en- tire party. They declare the busting of Huerta will be but an empty victory un- less the system for which they say Huerta and his followers stand, Is abol- ished
 Plans of the constitutonalist govern ment can contemplate nothing other than complete victory for the reforms for which we are fighting" said Roberto Y. Pesqueira, confidential agent of General Carranza here. Mir Pesqueria spoke as a member of the constitutionalist party, but his utterances heretofore have ac- curately outlfEed the expressions which later have forRwed from his chief.
 Why should we compromise with them?' he asked "We have beaten Huerta at every turn and why should We yield our advantage when we have the reforms for which we strive almost within our grasp? This has been fight of a hundred years for reform and we will not be content to have these years of fighting wasted"
 Other constitutionalists expressed the belief that there was no basis on which the adherents of Huerta and the con stitutionalists could work together in a provisional government.
