VERA CRUZ-The price demanded
by Provisional President Huerta for
his retirement is legahzation Of his
official acts as provisional president,
according to advices from the capital.
This is said to have been the pro-
posaI General Huerta authorized his
delegates to offer at the mediation
conference at Niagara Falls.
General HueTta is said 10 realize
that he has only a slim chance OF
winning but he is understood to be
determined not to abandon power
without adequate provision being
made for protection of his own fu-
ture and for that OF the men sur
rounding him.
The ConStitutionalists have insisted
that no act of General Huerta's ad-
miuistration shall ever be regarded
as legal, and in this case General
Huerta forsees enormous financial
losses for those who joined in the
notatiOn of his loans as well as per
sonaI risk for the members of his
cabinet, for the new congressman in
stalled in place Of those whom he
Imprisoned and for thousands Of min
CT officials and even private citizens
who willingly or knowingly aided his
government
Await carFaHza's Reply.
Washington.-Wai on Carranza
was the attitude of the Washington
government insofar as progress in
Mexican mediation was concerned. 1t
was apparent that the Constitution
alist leader was expected to make
the next move in the diplomatic ne
gotiations toward composition of
Mexican affairs, but 10 word bad
come as to what that move would be.
Louis Cabrera, who has been men
toned as a probable delegate to the
peace conference should Carranza
agree to participate under the terms
proposed, was in conference with Mr.
Lind for several hours, after which
Cabrera Joined his colleagues, Mr..
Zubaran, Jose CasConcelos and Juan
f. Uruquidi, at the ConstitutionaIist
agency.
