PLANS PRESENTED
BY AMERICAN DELEGATES
To Call Conference for Final De-
cisiOn and Draw Protocol.
WANT REBEL APPROVAL.
Peace Plan Includes Provision for
General Amnesty, Payment of
Claims, Withdrawal of Troops.

Niagara Falls, Ont, June S.-The
United States government, through
Justice Lamar and Frederick w.
Lehmana, today presented to the
three South American mediators a
complete plan for the pacification of
Mexico. 1t is the same in principle
as that presented by the mediators
and already agreed to by the Huerta
government. 1t contemplates estab-
lishment at the earliest date practic-
able of a new provisional government
in Mexico City, which would conduct
general elections for permanent
government.
The plan, written by the American
delegates after consultation with the
Washington government, is brief, and
includes several counter propositions.
of whic the Huerta delegation will
be advised tomorrow.
From the mediators themselves il
became known that the differences in
the two plans are slight A full CON
ference of all delegates and media
tors is planned for tomorrow or We'd
nesday. This is for the formal con
sideration and final drafting of the
protocol
DON'T WANT ARMS LANDED.
Although the question Of whether
the Antilla would be permitted to
land her ammunition at Tampico was
not finally disposed of today, the
Mexican delegates let it be known
that, while they hoped the cargo in
some way would be returned to New
York, they were not disposed to in
terrupt mediation, even If the ammu-
milton finally got ashore. General
! Huerta's order resembling the block
ade infused a spirit of optimism, for
the situation was threatening.
Tonight final word was awaited
from the American government as to
whether the Antilla would be permit
ted to land her arms. The Spanish
ambassador at Washington is expect
ed to receive from Secretary Bryan
the reply to the note addressed orig
inally by the Huerta government to
the mediators, and referred to
| Washington by the American dele
gates here. The Huerta delegates
wrote the note before they knew a
blockade had been ordered. When
General Huerta learned that his rep.
resentatives were taking the matter
up through diplomatic channels he
suspended the blockade.
INSISTENT ON ARMISTICE.
1t is understood that diplomatic
way of approaching internal ques-
tions would meet the approval of the
Constitutionalists, but the mediators
are insistent on an armistice. The
Constitutionalists want to know what
the peace plan comprehends before
they agree to a suspension of hostil-
tiles. They claim when a revolu-
tionary army is once started in a
comprehensive military campaign il
cannot be stopped for a week or a
short period without making. troops
restless and endangering the control
which the various chiefs have over
! heir men.
The mediators now are trying to
evolve a method by which the peace
plan will meet the approval of the
Constitutionalists before a protocol
| is signed
While details of the peace plan are
necessarily withheld until there is
final agreement, it is known that a
large share in the proposed new pro
visional government would be given
! to the Constitutionalists They
would have at least two of the four
cabinet members, who would be ap-
pointed by the new provisional Pres.
ident, who would succeed General
Huerta.
The peace plan includes provision
for general amnesty, the payment OF
claims. the withdrawal of the Ameri.
can forces from Vera Cruz and kind
red subjects which would develop
when new provisional government
was installed.
