According to Statement Given to the Press by Ambassador DeGama of Brazil, Who Cordially Thanks Newspaper Men for Cooperation.

Niagara Falls, Ont, July Am bassador Da Gama of Brazil today formally announced the virtual settle ment of the conflict between the United States and Mexico.
 The ambassador explained that whhe mediation would take an in- definite recess awaiting the outcome of efforts by representatives of the two Mexican factions to solve the in ternal problems of Mexico the task of mediation was not yet concluded, though an essential part ot its work had been accomplishec
 The ambassador spoke at a lunch con given by the three mediators to newspaper correspondents. The en- tire American and Huerta delega- tions to the mediation conference were present and the remarks of MT DaGama after careful revision, were made public later constituting fcrln- al statement of the mediation work thus far.
 ''It is a source of satisfaction for mG," said the ambassador, "to be able to say that one of the essential points of our program, that dealing with the international side of tile conflict is virtually settled. This does not imply that we go home with our task concluded but we feel that so far we have averted war. Wa have established also through agree ment between the parties most di- rectly interested and in complete har- mcny with the sentiments of the gov crnment of the United States that 1t is a principle of American policy to have out national problems always given fair examination and settled without foreign interference. We un- derstand that if such a result has ] more favorable atmosphere in inter- national politics in America"
 Mir. Da Cana called attention to tha fact that President Wilson personally had informed the mediators before they left Washington that the onlI way to solve Mexicos problem was to aid the contending parties in Mex ico to reach an agreement among themselves, thus obtaining a Mexican solution of the Mexican question"
 In this manner the ambassador re- . vealed that the course mediation has taken was ia President Wilson's mind from the begnning.
 The speech served also as detni- tion for the world generally of the hitherto unsettled status of media ton. Ambassador Da Gama and Minister Naon had planned to leave tonight but found many detals to ar range and postponed their departure until tomorrow. The Washington government would prefer that the mediation board remain here while the constitutionalists were urged to act quickly on the invitation already extended them.
 The mediatcrs tonight formally acknowledged the latest note from i General Carraaza. The answer eX- pressed appreciation for Carranza s friendly sentiments toward peace and is courteousty phrased. It will be made pubic tomorrow.
 The AmerHaan delegates received word from Washington to leave here when they thought it advisable, but they will be the last to go. The Huerta delegates received formal in- structions from their government giving them plenary powers to dis cuss internal questions with consti- tutionaists The Huerta delegates are anxious to know when and where the conference should take place. Should no definite word be received by Friday or Saturday, some of the Huerta delegates viii go to New York to stay. Minister Naon of Argentina, after conferring in Washington with Luis Cabrera expects to telegraph the Huerta delegates some definite idea of the time the informal conferences will be convened.
 Emilio Rabasa, head of the Huerta delegation, said he was pleased with the accomplishments of mediation thus far The recess of mediation stil holds in effect the armistice be- tween the United States and the Huerta government at eVra Cruz. No protocol has been signed indicating
