after the interests of the fighting gem

With dissension among the constitu-
tionaifst leaders apparently nearing
adjustment, members of the revolu-
tionary junta here repeated express
sions of confidence that the proposed
Huerta -Carranza conference would
take place.
While the constitutionalist agents
here have not determined on any par

known that in discussion of the repub-

Mexico City for the Huerta delegates.
Communication southwark with consti-

easy.

the delegates of both sides would be free
from local influences.
Members of the conStitutionalist junta

over future plans of mediation None
would discuss the details of this confer
ence. but Mr. Douglas made this state
ment:
Il have every reason to believe after
the troubles between Villa and Carranza
are settled that delegates from the con-
stitutionalists will be named TO meet
with Huerta delegates to discuss the for
nation of provisional government in
Mexico. Though there are many
ports to the contrary. there are many
matters of great Importance involved
which will have bearing the situa-
ton, and which are not to be over
looked"
Favored Joint Conference.
Mr. Zubaran and Mr. Cabrera are
known to have favored the proposed
joint conference between the Mexican
factions. Mr.. Iglesias Calderon has rot
been so favorably inclined to the plan.
but for the first time since his arrival
in Washington he met in joint confer
ence with Carranza's personal repre-
sentatives. With them Was Juan F. Cr-

junta who has just returned from

tween the federals and mutineers was in
progress. ~

the mutineers had threatened to attack
the American lines. and with this infor-
nation to guide him the American gem
eral ordered his forces to be on the de-
fensive but not to consider any ire
sponsible movement as an attack
