MEDIATION HEADQUARTERS.
Niagara Falls, Ont, June 11.@Senor
Emilio Rabasa, head OF the Huerta
delegation TO the mediation conference
this afternoon said that ne and his as
sociates would accept any reasonable"
proposal as TO the personality OF the
man who should be made provisional
president. he declined TO say whether
the Mexican mediators would agree
that this man should be one OF consu-
tutionalist sympathies.
The intention of Gen. Carranza, first
chief of the revolution, and now de-
clared provisional president by right
Of arms, 10 become a candidate for the
elective presidency, viii be approved.
The entire political organization which
has upheld Gen. Huerta during his
rule in Mexico City will be gradually
wiped out.
These facts stand out clearly today
from the midst OF doubt and surmise
which has yelled the progress Of the
mediators during the past four days.
Mediator IL Authority.
The first Of these facts is stated on
the authority OF one Of the mediators
who declared positively that no other
solution than the recognition or the
triumph OF the rebels. was possible.
The second fact was admitted TO fol-
low from the first as a matter or
course The cOnStitutiOnalists viii
have no other permanent leader as IL
is known that the man who guided
them viii be pOwerless.
The third fact was conceded as nee
essary to stable government under a
party which fought the Huerta regime
since ii rose upon the collapse OF the
MaderO regime.
The HUerta elegates-Senors Ra-
baSa, Elguero and Redriguez-are de-
clared by this mediator TO be ready 10
gree TO the choice OF a constitution
alist to head the provisional govern
ment They ask that he be put into
office in the constitutional manner
Huerta would then resign and this ap-
pointee would become provisional
head Of the nation
Huerta Bows TO Fate.
This announcement by one Of the
enVOys lis believed 10 assure that the
crisis in the mediation proceedings IS
past. Huerta bowed to his fate,
brought on by the implacable attitude
of the administration at Washington.
The HueTta delegates have decided
that is better for their party 10 ac-
cept the rebels who personally shall
have been approved by them than TO
wait and be forced 70 take leader
OF the villa type.
The Mexican delegates must recog-
nize by now that CarranZa Is the victor
of the military struggle, said this en-
voy. They must feel as we do, that
the great majority OF AleXicans are
now possessed by cOnsutuuonalisL
sympathies. They must realize, too.
that a rebel who had been selected by
common consent here would be better
for Mexico than one taken from the
city by armed force. and who would
have TO fight against a counter reVo-
luton for the very reason or his being
primarily a military ruler. Agree
ment that the consututionalist shall
be a provisional president means non
orable peace for every ~action IN Mex
leo"
Carranza's Note Not Received.
This vital turn ia the proceedings
has been taken without knowledge OF
the contents Of Gen. CaTranzas note
TO the medfators. which - still unde-
livered. IL signihed merely the inten-
ton OF the mediatOrs to avoid al any
cost the failure OF the conference
The man for provisional president
has vet 10 be named. The MeXlcans
have submitted a long list OF posi-
bilities. The Americans have replied
only 70 the extent OF requiring that
the man be one who has been ioen-
tilted with the revolution.
The Huerta delegates will save Their
dignity By naming the candidates,
whom Huerta himself viii place in Of
fee.
