--MedIators to Give Rebel
New Invitation to Farley.

Mexico City, June Sit was learned
Monday from wholly reliable source
that President Huerta's proposition Tor
the settlement of tho Mexican difficui-
ty involves primarily the admission CT
representatives of the rebels to tle
mediation conference so that questions
affecting Mexico may be discussed and
adjusted between. Mexicans exclu-
sively.
With that basic condition Huerta
couples a rejection of the American
suggestion of an irlterregnum or new
provisional government in Mexico, as
the adoption of such plan would Inn
ply impairment Of the national SOW
ereignty.
He proposes, on the other hand, that
election for president. vice-president,
senator's, deputies and state governors
be held July 5, according to arrange
ments previously made, The election
In question is to 70 free and fair, tha
rebels having the privilege of exercis-
ing supervision In those portions OF
the country that are controlled by the
government and the government
controlled by the rebels.
Finally Huerta binds himself solemn
ly to abide by the mediation confer
ence and before the civilized world to
hand over the supreme power to the
person who shall be elected at the
election thus conducted.
Ell Paso, Tex, June ga semi-of
fetal statement issued from General
Carranza's headquarters at Durango
defied the A.-B.-C. peace mediators at
Niagara Falls and declared the consti-
tutionalists would yolerate no outside
interference with internal problems Of
Mexico.
The statement holds that the consti-
tutionalists, the conquerors of Mexico,
are being dictated to by the conquered,
as 1t is declared that the only obstacle
to the entrance of the rebels to Mexico
City is the destruction of the railroads.
The agrarian problem, which the peace
commission has been seeking to solve,
is held to be an internal problem which
requires no outside interference for
settlement.
Indeed, this is the attitude of the
constitutionalists with regard to the
entire proceedings of the N sdlators,"
the statement declares.
In proof of their convention that
they are the conquerors of Mexico
they point to what they have already
accomplished in the way of driving
the federals from two-thirds of the
area of the country.
General Villa also issued statement
reiterating his allegiance as a military
leader to Carranza
Niagara Falls, Ont, June 3-The
A.-B.-C. mediators have decided to send
an answer to the telegraphic note de-
Iivered to them in behalf of General
Carranza, which suggests that the con-
stitutionalists should be permitted to
participate in the Niagara Falls con-
ference.
In their response the mediators will
say that a constitutionalist represents
tive will be admitted to the confer
ence on the condition accepted by the
American and Mexican governments,
namely: That the constitutionalist
forces shall suspend bostilities while
the peace negotiations are in progress.
The way for constitutionalist partlci-
patton under this condition has been
paved by advance assurances that the
Mexican delegates will assent to it.
Washington, June 3.-Since the ar
rival of Senior Urquidi in Niagara Falls
with a note from the constitutionalist
junta here preeipitated what was little
less than crisis in the peace confer
ence, indications have increased OF a
wide difference of opinion between the
Abe. mediators and the department
of state This divergence of view, In
fact, was indicated particularly in the
widely differing language of the medi-
ators' offers of their services and Mr..
Bryan's note of acceptance. The stu
alton has reached point where even
the state department with it's longing
for peace is looking for a sterner
joinder of issues.
