THE MEnIATQPS
ARE HOPEFUL
Say That They Expect An Answer
From Carranza by Tuesday
Huerta Is Tanned
(By Associated Press.)

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 6-For
some time now 1t has been evident that
there are no serious obstacles to II
settlement which would win for the
washington government all that was
asked Of Huerta. The plan virtually
agreed upon for Huerta's elimination
and the setting up Of a new govern
'ment with both the cientificos and con-
stitutionalists equally represented, and
with neutral holding the rank of
president.
Should the constitutionalists decline
to participate 1t Is thought the United
States still would have to carry out
its part of the bargain. In that event
1t ts not impossible that this country
may find herself the ally of the present
Mexico government. The situation is
believed to be the cause of great deal
OF embarrassment to the Washington
administration.
Some comfort is being derived here
from the fact that General Carranze
has placed General Natera at the head
OF the army nearest Mexico City.
Should 1t be necessary for an Ameri-
can force to proceed from Vera Cruz
to the Mexican capital to aid in estab-
fishing provisional government and
such course Is possibility tho Am
ericans would rather have General Ma
terra at the head Of the approaching
constitutionalist army than General
villa.
Mediators and American delegates
say an answer to the latest note to
General Carranza probably will be re-
ceived by Tuesday.
