AT NIAGARA FALLS

Be Held on May Is, According to
Official Announcement.

Washington, d. c., May 6.-The three
South American ENJOYS, who have I'M
dertaken by diplomacy to settle Mex
icos civil strife as well as her interna-
tional difficulties, announced last night
that the first formal conference with
representatives of "the different parties
interested in mediation would be held
at Niagara Falls, Toronto, Canada, on
May is.
Secretary Bryan made the announce
ment for the three diplomats in a brief
statement, which reads
"The mediators have notified the diff
ferent parties that Niagara Falls, Cam
ada, has been selected as the place where
the mediators will confer with the repre-
sentatives of the different parties inter-
ested in the mediation and that the 18th
of May has been fixed as the date when
the conference will begin
The language of the declaration at
tracted attention, for although the en-
VOWS had in note earlier said they
would not withdraw their invitation for
a Carranza representative unless an
armistiee between the constitutionalists
and the Huerta forces were arranged, no
specific parties to the negotiations were
named in the state department an
nouneement.
1t was later learned authoritatively
that the reason for this was due TO the
fact that further effort was being
made to induce General Carranza to send
representative. 1t was understood the
mediators had further explained their
position to General Carranza and were
still hopeful that he might be repre-
seHted at the negotiations without seek
ing to limit his agent to discussion of
any particular subjects.
