MEXICO'S CREDITORS
ON ANXIOUS SEAT
Foreign Powers Are Insisting That
COnstitutionaIiStS Shall Agree to
Sanction Acts OF Iluerta Under
Penalty OF \on-Rec0gniti0n.

Washington, July 13.-The state de-
partment was informed today by the
Brazilian minister at Mexico City, who
represents the United States there,
Wednesday, leaving the Mexican gov
eminent in the hands of Francisco
Carbajal, his newly appointed minis
ter of foreign affairs.
Several foreign nations have unoffi-
cially approached the state de-
partment asking it to obtain a state
ment from General CarranZa as to
what his attitude would be concern
ing the foreign obligations contract
ed and the internal concessions made
by the Huerta regime.
The A. B. G.. mediatOrs have been
enlisted by other foreign governments
to present their insstence that Car
rama recognize the national obliga-
tons created by Huerta
The A. B. C. powers have been dele
gated by the other foreign nations to
convey word to the United States and
the constitutionalists that if Carranze
refuses to sanction the acts of the
Huerta government they will refuse to
| give the CarranZa government recog-
milton.
After the state department received
these advices, Secretary Bryan held
a conference with Clarence A. Doug
lass, legal adviser of the cohstitu-
tionalists, and thoroughly discussed
this new phase of the Mexican situa-
ton.
Will Not Pay Huerta Debts.
The attitude of the constitutionalists
has constantly been that they will not
in any way recognize the Huerta
regime as having ever been lawful
and will treat as null and void every
national action of the Huerta govern
ment. 1t was stated by one of their
representatives today that Carraanza
is willing to modify to the extent OF
paying loans contracted by Huerta
which can be shown to have been used
for the legitimate purpose of carry
ing on a defecto government, but will
not pay any sums that were used tC
purchase supplies for the federal army
to put to the purpose of hindering the
revolution.
Il
might this new phase of the situation
was the most important question now
i facing the constitutionalists, trans
cending in Importance the occupation
of Mexico City.
The mediators, as the spokesman o
all foreign nations besides the United
States, are demanding that Carranzs
promise the protection of propert!
rights, amnesty to all engaged in thu
civil war and governmental recogni
, ton of the national legislation as is
sued by Huerta.
One constitutionalist said tonigh
that Carranza would not agree tt
these demands and would inform thu
milton of his government on sucl
terms.
General Carranza will not Civ
Carbajal any forther recognition thar
he did Huerta and will only treat will
him on the question of surrendering

stitutionalist agents here tonight.
