ignation of Huerta and the accession
Of Carbajal to the provisional Presi-
dency, negotiations, supported by all
the power of the government of the
United States, will be begun immedi-
ately to arrange for the peaceful trans
fer of the government in Mexico to
the Constituencies.
Senior Carbajal will be allowed no
opportunity to place himself in the at.
titudc Of one who has something 70
give. who can barter for his office. He
will be regarded by both the Constitu-
tionalsts and the United Estates as
only the medium OF transition OF gov
eminent from Hucrta 70 Carranza.
Carbaial, it is hoped, will be able 70
maintain peace in Mexico City until
the COnstitutionalists get there, and
this is considered his most useful pur-
pose.
The Mexican revolution is looked
upon as over. Carranza, Il is expected,
will take Office as provisional Presi-
dent without opposition, and will be
recognized by the United States.
President Wilson demands an cleo
ton for permanent President, and this
will be held sooner or later, although
at first the new government IN Mexico
City will be a military dictatorship. Il
is not doubted that the election will
result in favor of the Constitutionalist
candidates. if for no other reason than
that the Constituencies will control
il. There is no indication, however
that the United States will scrutinize
the election returns too closely, while
there are indications that a most fla
grant set of circumstances will be re-
( CURED to induce the administration
again 20 refuse to recognize a Mexican
government.
In No Hurry to Withdraw.
No haste will be shown in withdraw
ing the American army at Vera Cruz
The administration will wait until IL
is reasonably certain that the Consti-
tutionalists are able TO restore peace
and TO give security 10 foreigners. II
is considered probable that the army
will remain until there is an assurance
of the establishment of a permanent
government through a constitutional
election.
There are indications that President
. Wilson intends to serve notice on the
Constitutionalsts that they must
maintain an honest and orderly govern
ment or the United States will inter-
vene with force 10 preserve order and
to give the people of Mexico a chance
at genuine self-government.
As was predicted In The Tribune on
Sunday, there probably will not be an
other fight i'm Mexico. IL is believed
that the Constitutionalists will be able
to enter Mexico City without the use
of force.
Constitutionalists, diplomats and
United States officials did not conceal
their satisfaction to-day over the fact
that Huerta at last had eliminated
himself from the situation and pointed
the way to an era of peace in his
country.
From diplomats in close touch with
the situation it was learned that Senior
Carbajal and those who are associated
with him in an effort TO restore peace
in Mexico desire only that a general
amnesty be declared, conserving the
lives and property of those who sup
ported Huerta After this is obtained
the peaceful entry into the Mexican
capital of Constitutionalis troops will
be negotiated.
Still Hope for Conferences.
General Huerta's retirement came
Just as the Constitutionalists were
preparing their formal answer TO the
| South American mediatcrs rejecting
the invitation for informal conferences
with representatives of Huerta for the
discussion of internal Mexican Ques-
tions. While the Constitutionalist
are sverse to holding conferences
which might recognize the legality Of
| Carbajal as provisional President,
hopes were raised to-day among South
/ American diplomats that negotiations
| might be begun between representa-
/ tiveS of Carranza and Carbajal for the
| speedy transfer of power TO the Con.
stitutionalists.
/ 1t is practically certain that Emilio
/ Rabasa, Augustin Rodriguez and Luis
/ Elguero, who represented Huerta A.
/ the Niagara Falls mediation, will be
/ designated by Carbajal TO look after
his interests in this country. That the
mediatOrs will make another effort 70
bring the two factions into conference
/ is considered likely.
General Carranza. in the opinion ot
] the mediators, would profit greatly ny
entering into such conferences. IS
doing so he might guarantee himself
! immediate recognition by the United
/ States, Argentina, Brazil and Chill
/ Under the terms Of the protocols
| signed at Niagara Falls the United
/ States promised TO recognize any gov
eminent set up by agreement between
/ the two Mexican factions without
waiting for an election. The agree
ment between the two principal Gle
ments would be taken as tantamount
/ TO an expression Of the will Of the
/ Mexican people.
Urge Conference with CarbsjsL
Renewed efforts arc being made by
Constitutionalists here to persuade
/ Carranza TO enter conferences with Car
J bajal. Carranza's objections hitherto
have been that he could not agree 70
