Termed by commission of five men
pending the holding of general cleo
ktions under supervision of represen-
tatives of the three great South Amer-
can Republics-private advices receiv-
ed in FL Paso to the effect that resig-
nations of both Huerta and Carranza
are to be demanded at once.
! fThe constitutionalists cannot enter
into an armistice or even a pact
which involves a cessation of hoStili
ties between themselves and Huerta,
but must continue using their best
military efforts to overthrow him and
establish a form of domestic govern
ment," said Roberto V. Pesquiera,
diplomatic agent of the constitutional
lists, last night Mr.. Pesquiera was
discussing the proposal of the A. B.
c.. alliance that General Carranza and
the constitutionalists join in the arm
iStice agreed to by Huerta and the
United States while the differences
between this country and the Mexican
dictator are being mediated.
Mediation Proposed a Good Thing.
"Of course any official statement
on this important subject must come
from our first chief, General Car
rama. But, speaking solely for my
self, and in an unofficial manner,
will state in the first place that the
matter has not yet reached the stage
of mediating' as the invitations so
far are merely in the form of a pro-
posal of good Offices, looking toward
the bringing about of mediation"
said Mr.. Pesqueira. Consequently,
believe the proposal a good thing, no
matter what the final result, as it
delays matters and gives all parties |
concerned time for calm reflection. !
That Huerta accepts the good offices
is an Indication of his desperate situ-
alton, and due in large measure no
doubt to the pressure Of European
representatives, and the recent vic
tories of the constitutionalist forces in |
the field
No Agreement With Huerta.
Latin America, or at least Cen
trail and South America, are vitality
interested in the solution of the ap-
parent conflict between the United
States and Huerta, and of course, any
plan of mediation at which the al
lance may arrive which will bring
about reparation on the part of
Huerta for the Tampico incident and !,
the withdrawal of the American army
from Vera Cruz, so that internatinal
matters could be restored to their
former standing, will please us. But
our Latin-American brethren ought II
to understand and feel with us that
we cannot make a pact with Huerta
Or his associates, or with anyone he
would select, to succeed him, as the
social revolution now going on in
Mexico must achieve signal victory
in the overthrow of Huerta and his
co-partners in crime by force of
arms.
ANY other solution at this time
would leave the great problems of
DUR country unsolved and it would
not bring a permanent peace.
Commission Government Proposed n
Mr.. Pesquiera also said that he had /
been privately advised by constitu- ,
5ionalist agents in Washington that {
the plan of the A. B. C. alliance
would probably be to request the
-anza, and, until elections could be
held, that Mexico be ruled by a COM
mission of five men to be chosen by :
he alliance. !

Mr.. Pesquiera, that in all probabil- :

would be requested =
