Washington, June 1Ss-Ohicials of ths Washington government admitted Mexican mediation conference at Mi agara Falls over the selection of men to represent the proposed provisional government to succeed the Huerta, re- R1me. Administration officials, how ever, still seemed confident that con- ditions. presented would be met.
 Lase in the day word came from Niagara Falls that the South American mefaiators had replied to the recent note from General Carranxa, chief of tho Mexican constitutdonalfsts, stating that his offer to send delegates to the peace conference would be accepted only on the condition that he agree to cease hostilitieS against the Huerta government That Carranza would not consent to such a condition had been repeatedly asserted by him and all his representatives. This. development therefore, caused no change in the diplomatic situation so far as the United States was concerned.
 Warning Factions Must Be Brought to
 Terms.
 It was stated in oficial quarters that the United States had been pro- ceeding with its dealings with the snediafors at Niagara Falls on the baais that there could be no solution of the Mexican problem unless the
 
 brought to terms Developments in the Mexican internal conflict during tho last few months, it was pointed out had made it apparent that the Haerta government could not survive, irrespective of mediation and that there could be no provisional govern ment, worthy Of the name which did not recognize the revolutionists. To safisfy sbe revoiutionists the Wash ington government waA declared to realize thai the man to succeed Huer- ta pendinE constitnfionai election, nuet be ono in whom the Earranzistas would have confidence
 With this position as a basis the Washington government suggested through its representatives at Niagara Falls the names of several men for provisional president who would be ac- oeptabie to the constitufionalista Among these was Pedro LAscurain. kNho was a member of the Madero Aabinet Huerta's representatives have knot accepted any of the men Ausrta Delegates Prepared to Present Compromise Candidate. It vas reported here, however, that f7khe Huexta delegates were prepared fo suggest tho name of a man as a , t1ompromise candidate for the pro wisfonzl presidency, and that, in any event they would not take the initaa- five in breaking on peace negotiations. - According to this report, the man whom the Mexican delegates have in reserve to suggest as a compromise is General Fernando Gonzales, who has not been identified with the Huerta regime He was prominent during the administration Of former President O1az, but has not since been active in Mexican politics Gonzales, it is said, has had some sympathy for the rev olutionary movement in Mexico, but is declared not to be acceptable to . the cnnstituiionaliets. None of Car ranza,s agents in Washington, how ever, would express themselves re- garding his status.
