WANTS j. s. TO
PAC|FY MEXICO
Carranza Believes Republic Can
Be Civilized as Cuba Was.
FAIR ELECTION IS URGED
General Wants This Country to Sup
port Constituencies President
Mediation Proceedings Are
at a StandstiIl.


Washington, June 12.-With the me-
diation proceedings at Niagara Falls
at standstill and new complications
impending with the arrival of Ameri-
can arms for the constitutionalists at
Tampico, the Mexican question be-
came still further involved Wednes-
day as a result of the receipt Of fresh
proposals from CarranZa embracing
suggestion of American occupation Of
the distracted republic. The first chief
of the constitutionalists, who has pro-
claimed himself provisional president
of Mexico, now proposes that the Unit
ed States pacify Mexico in the manner
in which this government twice has
established orderly government in
Cuba.
The proposals are contained in a
lengthy communication which Car
rama has sent to the A.-B.-C. media
tors. A copy of the dispatch was trans
mitted to the White House by the
constitutionalist junta here, and Sec
rotary Bryan was requested to forward
a copy to the American delegates at
Niagara Falls.
President Wilson conferred with
Secretary Bryan for more than an
hour on the plan suggested by Car
rama, and later die talked with Sena-
tor Stone of Missouri, chairman Of
the foreign relations committee OF the
senate.
Carranza's dispatch dwells at some
length on the propriety Of the United
States undertaking the same mission
in Mexico that it did in Cuba.
1t points out that the United States
supervised the election Of Tomas Es-
trada Palma, president OF the Cuban
republic, In 1902 before the American
troops were withdrawn and that In
course of the second occupation of the
island In 1906 Gomez was elected the
successor of Palma at a plebiscite held
under the direction of the American
authorities.
In seeking to establish that the
Cuban and Mexican cases are parallel
Carranza quotes from the messages OF
Presidents Mckinley and Roosevelt
passages setting forth the duty OF the
United States to restore orderly gov
eminent in the island. The second
occupation of Cuba was in accordance
with the terms Of the Platt amend
ment to the Cuban constitution.
Carranza argues that there Is as
much justification Of the American
government assisting in the establish
ment of permanent order in Mexico
and supervising the election as there
was in the first occupation of Cuba as
a result of the war with Spain

Washington, June 12.-The senate
