Note to Delegations

After acknowledging General Car.
ranza's note and informing him that
the work of mediation would be re.
sumed after he hao appointed dele
gates for the conference, with the
Fuerta representatives, the mediators
tnday made public the text of their
identical note to the American and
liuerta delegations, defining the sta.
tus of mediation and giving the reasons
for the recess, The note, dated July
Il, follows; '$f'ia ssllsi
We have the honor to inform that
the representatives at Washington of
the chief of the constitutionalist party
OF Mexico, Mr.. Carranza, has caused
to be sent us his reply to our COM
nunication of the 21st ultimo, OF
which we advised you at the full ses-
sion of the oath, anu wherein we in
vited him to appoint representative to
discuss and agree directly with the
delegates of General Huerta, the Or
ganization of the provisional govern
nent.
In said answer the representative
referred to informs us that while Mr..
Carranza duly appreciates the we'll
inspired purpose of our invitation, and
is prompted by an earnest desire tu
see permanent peace established in
flexico, he feels nevertheless that he
is compelled to consult the opinion of
the generals of the constitutionalist
army on the appointment of delegates.
Therefore he adds, "Mr Carranza
has already addressed saidg enerals,
asking their counsel, and only desires
respectfully to request that he be al
lowed short time within which he
hopes to receive the replies from his
companions in arms.
The undersigned believe that what
remains to be done in the discharge of
the task which it was their good for
tune to initiate two months ago, does
not at the present time require their
presence at this place, and that the
work-now a matter falling to the
Mexican delegations-may be resum-
ed without any inconvenience whatso-
ever, whenever the arrival of the rep
resentatives of the constitutionalist
party is announced
Therefore, the presence of the un-
dersigned here during the days Of the
term referred to in the communication
of the representative of Mr.. Carranza
would answer no useful purpose; but
it is unnecessary that when the time
arrives for the Mexican delegations
to initiate their common work the
mediators stand ready, however it may
be, to continue to further, as they
have promised, the work of approx
matlOn ana accord WIN the patriouc
efforts of said delegations will un-
doubtedly be able sconsummate.
Any notification from you may conse-
quently be addressed to the ambas-
sador of Brazil, washington d. c."
