OFFICIALS NOT SURPRISED

Follow Guadalupe Plan, Which Do
clares Military Government Be
After Mexico Is Conquered.

Washington. - Border dispatches
stating that the Constitutionalists
would not enter informal peace con-
ferences with Huerta representatives
were partially confirmed here. Ra-
fael Zuzaran and Luis Cabrera, the
two most prominent Carranza repre-
sentatives here, had nothing to say,
but word that most of the Constitu-
tionalist generals to whom the plan
for conferences had been submitted
had disapproved it came from we'll
informed sources.
Minister Naon of Argentina, the
only one of the mediators in Wash
ington, read the dispatches with evil
dent surprise. He indicated that the
mediators would take no action until
the attitude of the Constitutionalists
was learned officially. Secretary
Bryan said it would be improper for
him to discuss the situation in ad-
vance Of the arrival of Carranza's for
NAL answer to the pending proposal
for peace conferences.
That Constituencies leaders
strongly oppose the idea of peace con-
ferences did not surprise officials who
have maintained it would be virtually
impossible to modify the plan of
Guadalupe, the platform OF the Con-
stitutionalist movement. This plan
declares military government shall
be set up after Mexico City is con-
quered and that no elections shall be
held until the country is pacified by
military rule. The present purpose Of
the Constitutionalists, 1t is under
stood, is to follow that program to the
letter.
Reports from Torreon that differ
ences between Carranza and Villa had
been composed were verified today by
agents of both, but there was an un-
dertone of comment, indicating that 1t
was but temporary truce. The break
has had a disorganizing effect politi-
cally in the Constitutionalist ranks and
evidences of it are manifest in Mexi
can circles here. Reports from the
border said one of the conditions of
the agreement between CarranZa and
Villa was that Rafael Zubaran be re-
tired from his post as head of the
Constitutionalist agency here.
Mr.. Zubaran and Mr.. Cabrera have
worked hard to bring about informal
conferences with the Huerta delegates,
who now are in New York awaiting
word through this channel of infor-
nation.
Despite the Carranza-Villa split, 1t
is evident one common purpose of all
the Constituencies factions seems
to be to force the conquest of Mex
leo City and rule the country by mar
tial law. That neither the United
States nor Argentina. Brazil or Chile
would recognize military govern
ment is the opinion of many South
American diplomats. Non-recognition
means lack of moral and, indirectly,
financial support, and the mediators
do not believe the Constitutionalists
could maintain a government under
such handicaps.

Prevent Such Disasters.

Quebec.-The collier Storstad is
held to blame for the Empress of Ire

wreck commission. The commission
holds that the disaster was due to the
Storstad's change of course, ordered
by the third officer, without instruc-
lions from the first officer, who was

The Empress was sunk in the St.
Lawrence on May 20 with a loss OF
more than 1000 lives.
The inquiry into the disaster was be-

siding justice of the British admiralty
court; Sir Adolpho Routhier of Que

felt that any reasonable alternative
were left to us. We can, however, come
to no other conclusion than that Mr.
Tuftenes was wrong and negligent in
altering his course in the fog, as he
undoubtedly did, and that he was
wrong and negligent in keeping the
navigation of the vessel in his own
hands and in failing to call the cap
