U. S. Also Seeks Guarantee Of
Protection for Support
erS Of Huerta
UP To CARRANzA NOW
On His Plan Of Action Will De-
pend Whether Recognition
Will Be Accorded

Washington, July 1.-THE United
States continued today to exert its in
fiuence with Carranza 10 bring about
an immediate cessation of hostilities
and agreement with Carbajal for a
peaceful transfer OF power in Mexico
City to the Constitutionalists.
John r. Silliman. personal represen-
tative Of President Wilson with Car
rama, received further instructions.
urging him to impress upon the Con-
stitutionalist chief the advlsability of
giving guarantee OF protection OF
the lives and property OF those who
had supported the Huerta government.
Besides endeavoring To obtain general
amnesty, representations on behalf of
the clergy in Mexico, now in disfavor
with the Constitutionalists, have been
made by Silliman.
Joseph Castellot, representative here
of Carbajal, was occupied this after
noon in sending dispatches 20 Carba-
jail detailing the results of his confer
ences with Bryan and the South AM
erican mediators.
The commission which left Mexico
city Wednesday with authority To ne
gotiate with Carranza for transfer
of the government of Mexico City has
been unable to reach its destination
owing To interrupted communications.
on the outcome OF the conference. and
the assurances given by Carranza as
to amnesty and adjustment of claims,
will depend whether recognition will be
accorded Carranza by the United
States at once or whether such action
will be indefinitely delayed.
Looming up as an ultimate compli-
cation in the situation is the proposed
reputation by Carranza of the finan-
cial obligations incurred by the Huerta
regime. Since that power was recog-
nized as legal by the powers of Eu-
rope, every effort will he exerted by
them To maintain the validity of the
claims Of their subjects.
Fears expressed over the attitude
Villa might take toward the new turn
of affairs were partially discontinued
by his statement that there is mo
need for apprehension regarding my
stay in the north" He said he expect
ed to move his troops from chihuahua
toward Mexico City in the next few
days.

informally that he intended to retire
in favor of General Carranza, the con-
chief.
President Carbajal wishes only that
a general amnesty be proclaimed ana
protection given to the property of
those who opposed the constitutional
list party.
The views of Mr.. Carbajal were ex-
pressed in detail to Secretary Bryan
by Jose Castellot. former member OF
