WASHINGTON, June 11.-Officials of the Washington administration re- fused to comment tonight on the ac- tion of the mediators in refusing b wait longer for CarranZa to answer their suggestions to the cOnstitutionai- ists relative to participation in the Mexican peace conference at Niagara Falls.
 Publication by the mediators of tho exchanges thus far made between them and Carranza's agents and the report that the South American envoys re- garded further waiting on CarranZa as beneath their dignity generally is talk en here to mean the door of mediation has closed on the cOnstitutionaliStS. There are some, however, who believed that in case it is possible for Huerta and the United States representatives to agree to terms of peace. the media ton conference might recess while the American government sought to bring about an agreement with the revo.u- tioniSt forces
 The arms and ammunition for Car ranZa aboard the Antilla, now at Tam picO, which the United States was too late in an effort to prevent leaving American shores. probably will be un- loaded tomorrow
 While the mediatOrs at Niagara Falls Were determining to close the door of the conference to Carranza because of his failure to reply to their note, Pres ident Wilson and Secretary Bryan held protracted conference at the White House executive offices. Bryan was called to the long distance telephone and engaged in conversation with Jus tice Lamar, who informed him of the action of the mediators.
 T have heard the decision of the mediators." Secretary Bryan said. but there is nothing for me to say about it"
 So far as could be learned, this gov ernment will take no steps to prevent the unloading of the Antilla at Tam pico. Carranza's representatives say the consignment of munitions of war will be in Villas hands within three or four days.
 The apprehension of General Fun ston over rumors of a possible federal advance upon the outposts of Vera Cruz has become a subject of grave concern on the part of the war de- partment officials here. The genera, anxiety of the officials was increased by the knowledge that strong rebel force is operating in Vera Cruz state In fact there is disposition among some oIIlclals to be particularly anxious over the presence of constitutionalists. fo, tn latters campaign plans are known to include the destruction of fin rail- way to prevent Huerta's flight The fact that Carranza had for Warded no answer to the latest com munlcation from the mediators had been regarded in some quarters here as an indication that he did not i'm tend to participate in the mediation Wfllch would require the cessation ot hostlltles against Huerta, and more over that officials of the Washing ton government had been aware ot this for some time, and had so in- lorned the conference at Niagara Falls. It was upon this information some believe, that the reported sug- Sestlons were made of continuing the mediation in it's present form-Huerts and the United States to agree tc some form of provisional government for Mexico and the United States tC use it's influence to induce Carranzs to accept these terms during the re. cess of the mediation conference.
 Should such a plan be successful according to this plan, the media ton conference would resume. and tn. tri-partite protocol could be signed. Another phase of the situation dis cussed here tonight was the possi bility that General Carranza had con
 templated a full reply to the media tors communication, and that h, might yet do so. In this event it i believed the Washington administra tion might use it's influence to in sure the reception of such a reply b! the mediators. Some friends of Car
 ranZa expressed the opinion, how ever, that there would be no repl, from their chief.
 In dismissing the idea of partic patton in mediation as result of to
 days developments, some of Car ranZa's agents declared that the cam
