Cabinet is Optimistic

WASHINGTON, May 26. - Members of the cabinet were optimistic after an exhaustive review of all communities tions that passed between the presi- dent and the American commissioners to the Mexican mediation conference at Niagara Falls. It is asserted from an official source that negotiations have so far progressed that the pre- liminary basis for a peaceful solution of international difficulties has been reached This, it is said, will soon take the form of protocol winch will probably be signed by the agents of Huertas government and the United States.
 When the cabinet met, the presi- dent laid before it all the developments and stipuiations thus far proposed to the South American envoys by the Huerta representatives for Huerta Among the messages received from the seat of the peace conference was one confirmatory of press dispatches that one of Huerta's representatives de- clared that the agrarian question would not be permitted to disrupt the international effort to avert war be

Early Agreement is Now Anticipated and Plan off Modification, So Far as Developed Known to Be Simple

 GOVERNMENT
There Will Be a Declaration of Principles on the Agra lian and Other Reforms and on Fair Elections in| Mexico
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spArcu1

NIAGARA FALLS. May 2G.-Actual terms and details of the plan for the pacification of Mexico are now under discussion by the mediators, accord ing to an announcement by Justice Lamar. An early agreement is now anticipated and the plan for pacifica- tion, so far as developed. is known to be simple It's object is to estab- fish a provisional government As the program for it there will be declaration of principles on the agrarian and other reforms and on the conduct of q fair election. After much discussion d satisfactory meth cd of considering the land question has practically been reached. While the Mexicans have not yielded their original convictions that the land problem is purely internal and that definite and binding recommendations concerning it should not be included in any agreement made here, the Americans view that some expression is desirable to point the way for it's eventual settlement by Mexico her self has been sustained The MeXi- cans have no objections to this. for while they do not admit that the land problem has been the chief cause of their revolutions, as Wilson insists. they say all political parties in Mex ico have pledged themselves to land reform and that the proclamation can not embarrass any future congress It will create no surprise if one re- suit of the mediation should be the recognition by the government of the legality of some important financial transactions of the present Mexican congress, which were made the sub ject of d formal condemnation mo- ''t-t.- se tho powers of Europe Con- tinued hostility by the Wilson ad- minstration against these acts. the MeXicans argue, would seriously en- tangle financial relations of their country They point to the fact that the leading European powers recog- nized their acts as legal That the United States might waive this point, to make smooth the road to peace is the confident expectation of the Mex ican delegates The turn in the pro ceedngs, from the point where II seemed as if the land problem might cause serious embarrassment, to an understanding as to the treatment of some of the delicate issues involved came after conference between the mediators and the American delegates. From the mediators themselves if was learned that some vital points have been reached today These it is un- derstood include the manner in which the present regime in Mexico City would give way to provisional gov crnment.

Report Gains Circulation Through Mexican Papers That Two More Cruisers Are on Way to the West Coast

ASSOCIATED PRESS p1spArcnl

MEXICO CITY, May 26.-The Jap anese minister denied a report pub lished in Mexico City papers this morning to the effect that Japan IS sending two more cruisers to Mexico With the object of taking off the Jap anese from the west coast.
 The minister said the ldzumo now in Mexico waters will not be reinforced, but she will be met at ManZanlllO by the merchant steamer Seiyou Maru. which will provision and coal her. The minister further stated the Japanese had no desire to leave Mexico because they are friends of the Mexican people and not afraid of hostile acts. The departure of Americans for Vera Cruz has virtually ceased.
 The minister of agriculture and col onization in Huerta's cabinet, Eduard TamariZ, a member of the Catholic party. has resigned. No official state ment has been given out, but it is known his resignation was caused by failure to agree on affairs of the ad- ministration.

The presi- dents advisors were in d happy mood when the meeting adjourned While none would talk of the details that have been disclosed concerning the progress of mediation, they all con Neyed the impression that nothing had occurred to cloud the horizon of peace
 Secretary Bryan was in an unus- ually optimistic frame Of mind. Sec retary Daniels, too. was the personi- fication of hopefulness.
 Failure thus far of the Mexican con stitutionalists to indicate their will lingness to partcpate formally in the conference was again the subject of discussion in official circles. but the fact that no assurances had come that they would be q party to the present negotiations was again declared to be no cause for Encouragement as to the outcome.
 Some of the Carranza agents in Washington regarded as probable that some representatives. of the revolution ary movement eventually would be sent to Niagara Falls.
 The purpose of the constitutional ists, it was made plain, was to keep out of the preliminary negotiations which would in any way check the on- ward march of their forces toward the capital of Mexico.
 There was no development in the military situation today so far as the United States is concerned, and no fur ther reports were heard from the movements of federal or constitution alist troops in the vicinity of Vera

Stockholders of the Buckeye Irrigation Company De termine to Extend That Enterprise, Ia king in 1000 Acres More

At one of the most important meet ings in the history of the company. the stockholders of the Buckeye IT, rigation company at an allday session Monday adopted plans for improve ments that will ultimately result in the reclamation of at least 40OO acres of land. and arranged for the financ- ing of the work, which is to begin i'm mediately.
