Washington. July; S.--BordCr dis
patches stating that the Constitution
aiists would not enter informal peace
conferences with Huerta representa-
.tives was, confirmed here tonight
Rafael Zubaran and f.ris Cabrera. the
most prominent CarranGa representa-
tives here. had nothing to say, but
word was that most AZ the Constitu.
tionalist generals to whom the plan
LOT conferences had been submitted
mad dissproved II came from we'll in
formed sources.
Minister NaOn, OF Argentina, the on
iy one OF the mediators in Washington.
read the dispatches with evident sur
prise. He indicated that the medi-
ators would take no action until after
the attitude of the Constitutionalists
was learned officially. Secretary Bry-
and said that 1t would be improper
for him to discuss the situation in ad-
vance Of the arrival of Carranza's
formal answer to the pending pro-
pOsal.
That the Constitutionalist leaders
strongly oppose the Idea If peace con-
ferences did, not surprise officials who
have maintained itywould be virtually
impossible to modify the plan Of Gu
adaloupe, the platform of the Consti-
tutionaliEt movement. This plan de-
clares a military government shall he
set up after, Mexico City Is conquered
and that eclectic shall be held un-
til the country naGified by military
rule. The PRESENT. purpose of the
Constitutionaitsta;4Jf is understood.
is to follow thatsM gram to the let
B Reports,.ffom TofsN6n that the dis.
ferences between .Carranza and villa
mad been, composed, were verified to-
Jay by agents OF both, but there was
an undertone. of comment. indicating
that 1t was but a. Temporary truce.
The hreab has had a disoFganizing ef-
rect politically in. the Constitutional
ISL rangs and evidences Of it are now
manifest in Mexican circles here
Reports from the border today said
one OF the conditions of the agreement
between Carranza and Villa was that
Auburan be retired from his. post as
head OF the Constituuonalists here.
Zubaran and Cabrera have worked
hard to bring about informal confer
ences with the Huerta delegates.
Despite the Carranza-Villa split
II IS evident, one common purpose of
all the Constitutionalists factions now
seems to be to force the conquest of
Mexico City and rule the country by
martial law. That neither the Uni
ted States nor Argentina, Brazil or
Chile would rec ognize military gov
ernment fs the opinion Of many South
American diplomats.
In view Of the lack. of definite infor.
.matfoh not only on the Carranza-Vil-
Ia agreement but the purposes OF the
Constitutionalfst generals Us to the
peace conferences. definite express
sion by the Washington government
Is not likely for few days.
Should the COnstitutionalists defi-
nitely reject parleys on the internal
question. the Niagara protocols be-
come nullifled. Everything agreed to.
there was conditioned on the estab-
iishment Of provisional governme1.
set up by two Mexican factions. It
Is believed that Huerta delegates in
few days will announce the posi-
tion' OF the Hucrta government and
leave for Mexico.
Whether mediation would termi-
nate then, ending the armistice be-
tween American and Mexican forces
at Vera Cruz is another complication.
The general impression is that the
Unfteds States will continue to exert
pressure to bring the factions into
conferences and that In the meantime
some arrangement with the Euertn
government for the maintenance of
the military status quo at Vera Cruz
will be e~ected.
Another Phase
Torreon, Mex.. July E8.-Another
official explanation OF what has been
agreed on, at tho Carranza-Viila con-
ference was not forthcoming today
The Carranza and Villa secretaries Ia
sued the following statement:
The conference between various
delegates OF the divisions of the North
and Northeast ended today with a re.
suit entirely satisfactory to the Con-
sututfonaltsts movement and to the
nation. Opporuncly, the public will
be informed Of the points transacted
at the conference.''
The delegates hlet again today to
prepare the reports on tho trasact;cns
ana 1t was understood that ono or the
results OF the conference would he

ions soon would move on Mexico City.
