TERMS AND DETAILS ARE NOW DIS
QSSED.
Agreement in Many Main Points
Involved in Mediation Reached
Vital Points discussed.


Vital Points discussed.
Niagara Falls, Ont, May 26.-
Substantial agreement in many oil
the main points involved in the
mediation conference has been
reached by the American and Mex.
lean delegates.
The discussion today covered ac-
tual terms and details of many OF
the things deemed necessary to the
pacification of Mexico. The medi-
ators and the opposing delegates
were decidedly optimistic. An early
agreement is expected.
The turn in the proceedings from
a point where it seemed as if the
land problem might cause serious
embarrassment to an understand
ing as to the treatment of some OF
the delicate issues involved, came
after a conference between the me-
diators and the American delegates.
The situation was summed up in
the following announcement by JUS
tice Lamar upon the authority OF
the mediators:
We have begun to discuss the
actual terms and details of a plan
of pacification. On number of
them we find ourselves in substan-
tial agreement. Others are still un-
der discussion, and as to them there
has been no disagreement. ItWould,
of course. be improper for us to
specify the particular points we
have discussed or those upon which
we have agreed, or those we will
consider further. "
From the mediators themselves
it was learned that some of the vital
points had been reached today.
These are understood tofinclud,, the
manner in which the present regime
in Mexico City would give way to a
new provisional government.
That General Huerta had given
consent to the program thus far
outlined here was one of the reports
from reliable sources, upon which
some of the optimism displayed was
believed to be based.
