the American forces will be with drawn This has been left for con- sideration after the two Mexican fac tions agree on the new provisional government. It is expected this pro- tocol along with others already sign ed will be embodied later ia a com plete agreement to be signeA by the constitutionalists, the Huerta dele gates and American representatives. This would clear up all points of diff ference and fix a date for the recog- milton of the new government
 As future meetings of ths mediation board and delegates probably will be ! Lheid in New York or Washington to- days luncheon will be in the nature of a farewell.
 Ambassador Da Gama addressed the correspondents, but his speech was directed likewise to the American and Huerta delegates present. He | said:
 Gentlemen of the press: You probably will be surprised
 
 after these forty-six days of almost continuous talking but there is some thing more to say It is to acknowl- | edge on behalf of the mediators the 1 good work performed by the Ameri- cal press here.
 The mediators have appreciated your Iabors and we think we should not part before giving you this cordial testimonial of our deep gratitude for your efforts, your good win and your earnest solicitude in the success of this work which for all of us has been diplomatic, political and, above all, thoroughly American in it's aspects.
 'I will speak cnly to emphasize some facts of which you are aware. One of these is that there are here three men composing the board of mediation who have been together all these long days, bent on the same problem, and withal have worked without dissentiCns, without disagree ments, without Quarrels. This perfect harmony was due to our realization of our responsibilities and the in. spiration of the occasion. I desire that some modest praise be given to my colleagues of the mediation and to myself for appearing before you as probably the most united political body ever constituted in the world.
 We were confronted by many diff flculties which We happily succeeded In overcoming. 1t is a source of satisfaction for me to be able to say that one of the essential points of our program, that dealing with the inter- national side of the conflict, is virtu- ally settled. This does not imply that we go home with our task complied; i; but we do feel that so far we have averted a war. We have established also through agreement between the parties most directly interested and an complete harmony with the senti- me1t of the government of the Unit ed States that it is a principle of Am erican policy to have our national problems aiWayS given a fair exam ination and settled without foreign interference. We understand that if such a result has been attained we shall nave created a more favorable atmosphere in international politics ia America.
 And now that we are about to leave I wish you to take home the impression that in undertaking this work of peace we sought to proceed along practical lines and attempted to do only that which was within our powers to do. We stand ready at any time to devote our efforts to any eth. CT work of a similar character and l know that you will be ready to SUD- port us and that we may count on the same smiling presence, and consider ation which it always has been our fortune to receive from you hereto fore on this memorable occasion"
