WANT DICTATOR TO CHOOSE
anao In the Peace Pan IL Merely over
the Method Of Succession toMexi-
can Presidency-carranza
May Enter Conference.

Niagara Falls, Ont; June 10.-Mexi-
can peace negotiations have taken
new turn. A strong indication was
given that the Washington govern
ment would try to arrange pacif1ca-
ton agreement satisfactory to General
Carranza and his advisers through the.
selection as provisional president OF
Mexico of one of the chief leaders In
the constitutionalist party.
This indication became apparent at
a two-hour session between the med1-
ators and the American delegates.
The United States is unwilling to
extend recognition to new provision
al president if named according to the
method prescribed by the Mexican
delegates, which is that General Huer-
Ia would appoint as minister Of for
eign affairs the man who is agreed on
in the mediation conference to head
the new government.
Reach Flat Disagreement
The Washington administration. con-
tends that if General Huerta is per-
mitted to name the foreign minister,
who, by constitutional succession
would be elevated to the presidency,
even though the selection be made
through mediation, such an act would
be construed as recognition OF the
Hxerta government.
On this issue the .mediating ENJOYS
came to a fat disagreement at the
days conference, held for considera-
ton of the exact method by which the
new provisional government in Mex
leo should be created.
For more than two hours the media
tors and American delegates argued In
Wan and it was apparent when the
conference ended that what had been
considered matter of detail suddenly
de7e!oped a snag.
Although the three South American
mediators argued strongly from the
Mexican viewpoint, there was reason
to believe that the Mexican delegates
would not insist on this arrangement
II they found the United States deter
mined against it.
U. S. Asks Minor Changes.
The mediators had a brief session
with the Mexican delegates to hand
them suggestions of the American
delegates. for notifications in the paci-
fcation plan, minor changes the
United States government thought de-
sirable. The fundamental principles
of the program were not disturbed by
the suggestions.
1t was made apparent that President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan had no in
surmountable objection to the tenta-
tive agreement reached for establish
ing law and order in Mexico.
This favorable disposition OF the
United States was emphasized by the
information conveyed by the American
delegates that their government would
not insist that the peace agreement
contain pledge in behalf Of Mexico
for the payment of indemnity to the
United States on account of the killing
of American citizens and damage to
their property during the progress Of
the existing revolution.
e. L. Chermont, counselor Of the
Brazilian embassy in Washington, will
arrive today to assist in the prepare
ton OF formal protocol embodying
the agreement of the American and
Mexican delegates.
Rebels to Enter Farley.
Washington, June 10.-Every indi-
cation in Washington points to some
form of participation by the constitu-
tionalists of Mexico in the mediation
conference at Niagara Falls tending
toward the settlement of international
differences affecting the Huerta gov
eminent as well as internal troubles
Of Mexico.sIf was expected the definite
position Of Carranza would be COM
municated to his local agents and sent
on to Niagara Fails before many hours.
Stops Arms for Rebels.
The subject Of ammunition from the
United States for the constitutional
lists continued an issue of official con
Germ. The cabinet deliberations re-
suited in direct order from Secretary
Redfeld to hold up cargo Of ammuni-
ton en- route to Galveston aboard the
Morgan liner FL Sud for trans-snip-
ment to Tampico.
The Ward liner Antilla, from New
York with a cargo of ammunition for
Carranza, is due at Tampico today
Huerta having suspended the blockade
OF the port and his gunboats having
returned toward Puerto Mexico, some
officials expressed the opinion that its
cargo would not be interfered with.

Saltillo, Coahuila, June I0.-General
Carranza's prospective reply to the
latest communication from the South
American mediators is being thorough
II discussed by him and his advisers.
What the purport of the reply will be

feeling among leaders that the plan of
Guadalupe will be adhered to rigidly.
