Niagara Falls. Ont, July 1.-Word
hss reached the Mexican delegates here
that Huerta is far from pleased with
the proposal Of the A b c mediators
10 take an indefinite recess and that
he would much prefer q definite ad-
iournment, so that by no construction
he could be held bound to maintain
the srnistice into which he entered,
pending the outcome OF mediation.
The Mexican delegates, however,
have not laid this objection before the
mediators, as they feel that Huerta
cannot be held bound by the armistice
hevond a reasonable time and that
should Carranaz long delay sending
representatives TO confer with them
the Mexican administration would be
warranted in denouncing the armlsuce
and resuming hostilities at its discre-
tion.
Ambassador da Cana and Minister
Naon had planned to leave here to-
night. but found many details to ar
range and postponed their departure
until tomorrow.
The Washington government would
have preferred that the mediation
hoard remain here, while the Constr
tutjonalists we're urged TO act quickly
on the invitation already EXTENDED
them, but the medistors thought they
could be of more service in Washing
Ton. where they could be in personal
touch with friends in the Constitution
al,st movement.
Carranza Letter Answered.
The mediators tonight formally ac-
lnowledged the latest note from Cen
eral Carranza, transmitted by Rafael
Zubaran. The answer will be made
public tomorrow, together with the
Zubaran communication.
The American delegates have changed
their intention TO remain a. Niagara
pending General Carranza's decision as
20 sending delegates to confer with
General Huerta's envoys. Justice Lamar
and Mr.. Lehman will leave here to-
morrow or Friday. Their decision IN
this particular was Influenced by the
feeling among themselves that their
presence here might be construed as
meaning that tho American govern
ment regarded itself as party to the
attempt of the Mexican factions to set
tie their OWL troubles.
The Huerta delegates received for
NAL instructions from their govern
ment giving them plenary powers to
discuss internal questions with Consti-
tutionalist delegates. The Huerta del
cgation is anxious TO know when and
where the conference will take place,
so they can arrange their private af-
fairs. Should no definite word be re-
ceived By Friday or Saturday, some Of
the Huerta delegates will 20 TO New
York 70 stay.
Minister Naon, after his conferences
in Washington with Luis Cabrara, eX-
poets 70 telegraph the Huerta delegates
some definite idea Of the time when
the informal conferences will be con-
yened.
The chief event Of to-day was
luncheon given in honor of the press
By the uedistors. It was attended by
the mediators, the American and MeXi-
can delegates and their secretaries and
the newspaper correspondents. The
Ambassador Of Brazil, Senior Da
Cana, offered toast 10 "Thc Press"
thanking the newspaper men for the
help they have afforded the cause Of
peace and summing up the benefits
achieved By the mediation.
Senior Da Cana uttered no word Of
optimism, and his failure 20 do so
added much to the sadness Of the Mex
leans, who found il difficult 70 escape
the feeling that the mediators we're
leaving them TO their fate, as one Of
