Washington, May 29.-MeXican me diation was discussed at the cabinet meeting today and the administration took positive position that the com munication forwarded to the media tors at Niagara Falls by General Car ranza, chief of the constitutionalist forces, should be received.
 President Wilson announced to the cabinet that General Carranza had addressed a note to the mediation con ference seeking representation. De tails of the Carranza message were not discussed but it later was declared the administration took the view that the constitutionalist chief should not be ignored.
 While the cabinet was in session word came from Niagara Falls that there was some doubt whether Juan GJrquide. agent of Carranza, who went from Washington with the message, would be received. Later it was earned the administration had direct ed the American representatives at the peace conference to urge that Carranza's message be accepted,
 When word came late today that the mediators had agreed to receive Carranza's communication, govern ment officials expressed the opinion that this would lead ultimately to constitutionalist participation in the mediation proceedings. On just what terms the constitutienalists might be received, administration leaders re- mained silent.
 Representatives of Carranza here announced that, the nature of the com munication would not be made public until the mediators had passed on it's contents. Secretary Bryan, informed of the mediators' decision, conferred with C. A. Doug as, an attorney repre- senting Carranza and John Lind. Douglas and Lind have been negoti. ating with Carranza's representatives and the secretary of state for several days and the sending or Urquide to Niagara Falls was a result of these deliberations it was said
 Secretary Bryan today said the navy department was seeking to get more information concerning the re- ported landing of arms by the Ger man steamers Ypiranga and Bavaria, and the secretary also discussed with the Japanese ambassador unofficial reports that Japanese vessels had de- livered arms at Mexican west coast points.
 Relative to the German shipments, it developed that the United States may be ca led on to pay compensation for delay in delivery of the Ypiranga's cargo. Claims for demWrage dates back of the actual seizure of Vera Cruz. The American government is understood to have suggested its will lingness to relieve the shippers of fi- nanciaI loss through delay in delv- cry. With relation to the reported shipments landed On the west coast, the Japanese ambassador assured Secretary Bryan that he had no know edge concerning them.
 General Carranza's offer to settle with the Spanish owners of some $1,- 000,000 worth of cotton confiscated at Torreon and vicinity cleared a diff cult diplomatic problem. To nine of the most considerable cotton raisers General Carranza offered to release their cotton on payment of war tax of $l5 bale instead of $30, for which he had been holding out. Other Span ish growers may obtain the release of their cotton on the same terms by demonstrating that they have taken q neutral stand during the revolution and have not assisted either party. ..
