 Note Sent to carraaxa.
 Just what was contained in the note from the mediators to General Carranza, transmitted today by Ra- faeI Zuberan at Washington to the constitutionalist chief. was not reveal of courtesy to Carranza's document would not be made public here. Ar answer ts not expected for another day or two. but there is a general confidence that it will be favorable.
 The mediators have not literally in. yited the constitutionalists anew but the phraseology of the note is suct as to pave the way for their entrance to the negotiations. It is in effect C clarfhcation of the misunderstanding which have existed and If coustru et in the conciliatory and friendly spirt which the medlators intended to con. vey, persons who have read the not, say they cannot see how the recivtentl can refuse to square themselves wtti the public opinion Of the world.
 There is every disposition on tn, part of the medfators to treat the in ly and with . realisation that theu dominate now the largest part of Mex foo and constitute practically thu mose important factor in the entdr, problem. It Is understood here tha the constituencies have hesitate< lo ldNOr suSQldllOn DcC8USS or HIS conception Of the character of tn, proceedings. The medtators are dail, approaching Mexican internal ques | tions, which have also an fnterna
 tonal aspect. in most tactful man ner. The Huerta delegates, for in stance, have been able to discuss thes, phases without yielding the sovereign. ty of their nation. There is no pur pose here to legislate on the lanl questions. Americans have neve | suggested any specific plan for th' remedy of the agrarfan troubles, no do they intend to do so. What tn American government and the media tors desire is that the new provision al government shall be morally obi l gated to take up the land question ani | dispose of it with justice to all in | terests. What they wish most of al is that the new government will b so impressed with it's obligation as result of the mediation, that it canno | ignore the problem as has been don l for two score years
 If the constitutionaIists are obdu | rate and refuse to enter. mediation will proceed An agreement willy b reached between the United State and the Huerta administration througl | which a new government will be SC | IIp.
