GBy Telegraph TO The Tribune.l
Juarez, Mexico, May 23.-Juarez is be-
ginning to worry about General Pancho
villa. the rebel leader. since the report
Of the evacuation of Saltilo has sur
rounded the movements of his army with
mystery. and rebels. even those high in
authority. appear TO be in ignorance of
tho nlans OF villa and OF his recent
activities.
Details bearing the mark of authen-
ticity of the Saltillo capture are lacking
on the border, and border rebels think
there must be some unusual reason for
Villas silence. There are many rnmors
from the south, but to-day there was
nothing definite and nothing which rebel
leaders considered authentic.
The footing and burning of portion OK

Chihuahua dispatches to-day said the city
had been damaged to the extent OF more

the largest in Mexico and valued at 10000
pesos was destroyed.

FELIX DIAz OFFERS
ABCPLAN HIS Aid
Promises To Be First to
Swear Allegiance to Pro-
visional Regime.

Toronto, Ont, May 23.-General Felix
Diaz said to-day that he heartily APP
proved the mediation proceedings at Ma
CARA Falls. In the event that a new
provisional government results from the
mediation conferences. he said he would
be the first to sweer allegiance to 1t, for
he declared the interest of peace IN his
country, now of all times. required sub
ordination Of personal desires TO the ma
tlonal welfare.
Debating a statement to The Associated
Press, he suggested that the mediators
consult Informally the leaders Of all the
political parties Of Mexico taking part in
the last two Presidential elections. %hus
they could obtain for provisional Presl-
dent man satisfactory to all factions.
The land problem, he SAID could be set
tied by imposing prohibitive taxes on the
large estates, which would compel the
owners 20 relinquish them. He thought
the poems should get only the usufruct OF
the land, because otherwise they would
soon sell it rather than cultivate 1t.
II desire, first OF ALL" said General
Diaz. Ito say that l sincerely hope and
wish that the conferences at Niagara
Falls may be complete success in re-
storing internal peace to Mexico and in
removing all differences with foreign gov
ernments.
If Huerta is to so believe there ought
| to be a meeting Of the leaders of ali the
political parties incorporated by law
which took part in the last Presidential
elections. in order that these parties may
arrive at some agreement about designat-
ing person to take the reins of govern
ment. Professionally, and call general
election which should be entirely free.
I suggest this only in the event that the
mediators and the delegates agree TO seek
out person fitted for provisional Presi-
| dent
when n new government shall have
been legally established which shall salts
fy the aspirations Of the people l shall
be the first TO help TO sustain it,"

Terrible Events Feared ii
Villas Army Ever Gets
Mexico City.
MORE OPPOSITION
NEARING THE CAPITAL
Invitation Which Constitutional
lists Expected to Niagara Falls
Not Yet Received.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau.l

Washington. May 23.-There was MOTH
ing to-day to indicate that the invitation
to participate in the Niagara Falls con-
ference, which the Constitutionalists yes
terday 30 confidently expected they would
receive within twenty-four hours. had been
extended by the mediators. and from the
attitude which Constltutionalist agents
here pretend there is little to indicate they
will accept the invitation when II Is re-
ceived.
The complete success OF the mediation
II Is generally believed. depends upon par
ticipation by the Constitutionalists. al
though some take the view that much can
be accomplished by an agreement between
Huerta and the United States on certain
points at issue, and the participation OF
the rebels appears to depend upon whether
the United States has the power and In
fuence to force them to Join. and. second.
whether the element Of the government
which desires Constitutional triumph In
the form Of a capture of Mexico City will
let the administration exercise that iniiu-
ence, IL It has it.
II is the opinion OF many observers that
il the President genuinely desires rebel
participation in the mediation the Consti-
tutionalists now stand TO ALLEVIATE the
sympathy Of the administration from their
In the a1miniS-
tration whose support of the rebels Is
weakening on account Of recently reported
atrocities They fear that the execution
of Federal officers at Saltillo presages
terrible events If the rebel forces ever
reach Mexico City, and the enthusiasm
which was so prevalent concerning TIL
umphant march into the Mexican capital
has been dampened in many quarters. IL
IS recognized that If the rebel army con-
tinues its bloody progress there may be
created a situation as they advance upon
Mexico City which will require American
Intervention as a matter of humanity.
Jose Vasconcelos. Carranza's financial
agent. who was reported TO have been Sc
lected to represent Carranza at Niagara
Falls. Is expected in Washington for a
conference Of Constitutionalist leaders.
Secretary Bryan had a conference to-
day with c. A. Douglas, the American
lawyer who represents rebel interests
here 1t has been through Mr. Douglas
that Mr.. Bryan has. been making an eff
fort to get the Constituencies into tho
mediation.
It has been frequently predicted in Mex
leo that as the rebel army approached
Mexico City the opposition would be more
determined. with the people themselves
endeavoring to assist the government IN
holding back the terrible Villa. Now
however, the situation Is changed. Amer
leans occupy Vera Cruz, and 1t Is gen
orally known in Mexico, particularly In
Huerta's army, that Huerta Is doomed
one way or another, and it is not con-
sidered probable by observers here that
Villa will meet with less opposition than
if Huerta's case were not so obviously
hopeless.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1914-05-24
Guns Are Keeping Peace.

Carranza probably will overthrow
Huerta, yet Mexico will be no nearer
peace with CarranZa in the Presidency
than she is to-day, and Carranza has
not attached himself to any mediation
plan. Wherefore. in the event or
Huerta maintaining himself or Of Car.
rama overthrowing him there appears
no possible way in which mediation
can settle the problem which the
United States took upon itself when
marines were landed in Vera Cruz.
Aside from all this, a serious situa-
ton confronts the United States and
both the army and navy IN Vera Cruz
itself, strange as it may seem to Amer
leans. Those in Vera Cruz do not think
il is General Funston and his $500
regulars, or Admiral Badger, with his
5000 marines. who really are holding
Vera Cruz quiet beneath the Stars and
Stripes, for, within striking distance OF
Vera Cruz, we'll armed, we'll munitioned

tain warfare, are twice the number oil
Mexican troops ready and eager to at

Mexican horde in check, are the 10 ant

possible were conditions in the MeSi-
can capital even to approximate th's'
described in Constitutionalist state-
ments and dispatches inspired by the'"
on the border. These reports are sui
further confirmed by reports received
here through diplomatic channels.
The Mexican delegates also describe
the law passed by the Chamber OF Dep
uties on the 2lst as a measure not de-
signed to raise additional revenue but
rather to equal.ze the burden of taxa
ton between the small and the largo
land owner. and to induce the large
landholder TO dispose of his excessive
holdings to avoid the increased tax.
Statement OF tho Mexloans.
Their statement on this subject reads
as follows:
"The law passed on the 21st instant
by the Chamber Of Deputies, TO which
the press alluded yesterday. saying
that 1t creates a new tax on land hold
ings. is not intended to increase the
governments revenue. Its purpose Is
TO favor the small land owner. Taxes
in Mexico go TO various state treas
uries. and the federal government COL
lects 30 per cent above the state tax Tor
the federal Treasury. The new law Is
framed to relieve the small land owner
from the burden Of this extra 80 per
cent and to distribute the same among
the large landed proprietors. thereby
improving the situation of the former
and giving the latter an inducement to
break up large estates"
Various entertainments are being ar
ranged for the mediators and the dele
gates and the women Of their party.
The most important is a garden party
at Toronto, to which they have been
invited by the Duchess of Connaught,
wife of the Governor General Of Can
ada. This is to take place Wednesday.
DR.. 2. Z. Doolittle. president Of the
Ontario Motor League. has arranged

delegates and their families, and the
Hon. Charles NJ. Dow, director OF the
