MEDiATORS WILL MEET AT Nl- AGARA FALLS, ONTARIO, ON
 THE 10TH OF MAY.
RUERTA REPRESENTATIVES,
Are Now on Their Way. But the United States Representatives Have Not Been Chosen as Yet. Still Counting Carranza.

Washington, May 5.-The three South American envoys who have un- dertaken by diplomacy to settle Mex ico's civil strife as well as her inter national difficulties, announced to- night that the first formal conference with representatives of the different parties interested in mediator will be held at Niagara Falls, ontario, May 1s.
 Secretary Bryan made the an nomcement for the three diplomats in ab rief statement which read as fo lows:
 "The medators have notified the different parties that Niagara Falls, Canada, has been selected as the place where the mediators will con- fer with representatives of the diff ferent parties interested in the media tion and that the 1Sh of May has been fixed as the date for the con- ference to begin,'
 The language of the declaration at tracted attention, for although the en- VOWS had in a note earlier said they would withdraw their invitation for a Carraaza representative unless an armistice between the constitutional ists and the Huerta forces were ar ranged no specific parties to the ne z gotiations were named in the state department announceme9t.
 Later it was learned authoritatively sthat the reason for this was due to tho fact that q further effort was being made to induce General Car ranza to send representative. It was understood that the mediators had further explained their position to General Carranza and still were hopeful that he might be represented at the negotiations without seeking to init his agent to discussion of any particular subjects.
 The American government has not chosen it's representatives. President Wilson and Secretaries Bryan and Lane discussed many names today. They are seeking to get men of train ing in diplomatic affairs and inas- much as it will take several days for the Huerta e1voys to reach here, some of the intervening time will be taken by the president in considering men for the mission,
 As yet there has been no formal basis of negotiation, neither through the United States nor 1uerta having set forth their demands It was learned today from a high admnistra- tion official that in all likelihood the United States would not confine itself to a mere settlement of incidents at Tampico which provoked the present crisis but to bring about a solution of the whole Mexican problem so that it could recognize constitu- tionality established government which wou dbe able to restore tran quility in the southern republic.
 The disposition of General Car ranza to eliminate himself from the mediation proceedings if it should in clude a discussion of MeXico's inter- nal problems has not met with the favor of administration officials, but they do not think this decision is final
 1t is virtually certain that the with drawal of American forces from Vera Cruz will not be ordered until some definite settlement of the whole Mexican problem is in sight.
 The death of two of the American wounded at Vera Cruz, bringing the mortality list up to 19, the announce ment that the president and Secre- taries Garrison and Daniels would go to Brooklyn to attend memorial ser vices for the dead being brought back on the Montana and the order to the hospital ship Solace to bring its wounded back to New York and Bos- ton so that the sick may be in a cooler climate, were the chief an uouaeements from the navy depart ment during the day. The war de rartment continued preparations Tor possible emergencies while the state department was active in caring for refugee Americans. who are leaving Mexico by the hundreds.
 Niagara Falls, Ontario was select ed as the place to hold the mediation conferences because it is neutral ter ritory. yet in close proximity to the United States The fact that Niagara Faus is on the extreme border oi Canada and is known more as q
