WASHINGTON. May Refusal Of
General Carranza Internationally to
participate in mediation and with
drawal Of the invitation so to partici-
pate ny the mediators will not end
attempted mediation
This was learned from the A. B. G.
envovs themselves today. Tt will. how
ever. restrict their cndeavors to obtain
oife participation from Huerta and his
followers in plan that can later be
eubmitted TO all Mexico Carranza in
Guided. to restore peace and constitu-
fional government. They will now be
forced to take cognizance of the initial
cause Of the break. the insult TO the
United States flag and the refusal TO
salute il in apology.
Meanwhile the mediators were today
showing q disposition to blame The
Emitted States for Carranza's attitude.
II Is insisted in Iatin-American diplo
matte circles that II this government,
through its consular representatives.
WHO are now very intimate with Car
rama had intimated 10 him that his
participation was desired the Constitu-
tionalist chieftain would have been com
pelled to do so. While the mediatoIs
maintain an air of secrecy and refuse
to comment on the situation their close
associates here are not so retieent.
They declare that If the present nego-
fiations eventually prove a complete
failure. Carranza who should at all
times have heen held in control by the
United States, win be the parsonage TO
blame.
Today is national holiday in Mex
lico and officials were fearful that their
might be anti-foreign outbreaks. 1t IS
fhe anniversary of the battle OF Pueh-
10. when in 1862, the Mexican army,
under porfirio Diaz, crushed the French
advance ON Mexico City. In the past
lit has been marked by anti-lorelgn
demonstrations in Monterey, Mexico
City and Guadalajara.
Meanwhile Huertas position in
Mexico City becomes more and more
untenable daily. 1t is knowledge Of
this that causes most apprehension in
official quarters as it is realized the
dictator may at any moment order
an attack upon American forces at
Vera Cruz in last attempt to force
aggressive action by the United
States which would unite the various
factions against foreign foe.
So far, however, General Mas has
remained quiet. Reports from ir
responsible sources widely circulated
yesterday that he had made another
demand on the American forces to
surrender the Vera Cruz waterworks
were promptly denied by Secretary
of War Garrison.
Meanwhile villa and his forces in
Northern Mexico are receiving badly
needed supplies The customs Off
cials have finally construed the en-
barge as affecting only arms and am
munition, and foodstuffs. oils, coal
and the like are now being sent
across the border in large quanti-
ties
