Washington, July 22-Ambassador
Da Cana. of Brazil, and Ministers
Suarez, of Chill, and Naon, Of Argen-
tina, the three mediators in the. MeXl-
can affair, appealed to President Will
son today to have the United States
use Its influence with General Caranza
to obtain a general amnesty for those
who supported the Huerta govern
ment.
1t was the first formal call of the
three mediators.. .since the conference
at. Niagara Fails adjourned. They
I.Sere accompanied by Secretary BryaH
and for nearly an nour discussed the
Mexican situation III all its phases.
They express the view that Francisco
Carbajal was ready to turn over the
government to General Carranza but
wanted a guarantee that there would
be no wholesale executions nor confs-
cations Of property.
They told President Wilson that
Carbajal would not surrender uncon-
ditionally, and unless guaranteed the
protection of lives and property OF
those who supported Huerta he wouia
concentrate all the military forces and
resist to the utmost any effort to IN
wade Mexico City.
No Projections; No Recognition.
The president and Mr. Bryan listen
ed attentively to the views OF the
South American diplomats, especially
as they indicated that their govern
ment probably would be unable to rec
ognize any administration In Mexico
which refused to give quarter to It's
enemies or establish itself by peaceful
means in accordance with civilized
practice among nations.
After their talk with the president
Secretary Bryan and the three diplo-
mats went to the state department Tor
conference.
That the influence OF the United
States was being relied upon by Pro-
visional President Carbaial to obtain
satisfactory terms from the constitu-
tionalists was explained also by Jose
Castellot, personal representative OF
Carbajal. The mediatocs conferred not
only with Mr.. Castello:, but also with
Emilio Rabasa, head OF the dele esa.icn
which represented Huerta at the Nj
agara conferences.

NIT an arbitrary entry into Mexico

and property.
