WASHINGTON. May 18.-The president told the American commis. siouers who leave tomorrow for the mediation conference at Niagara Falls. that the United States will keep its troops at Vera Cruz, until definite settlement of the Mexican problem.
 The president gave the commission CTS no specific instructions. He told them to place themselves in a re. ceptive mood and await the propos- als from the three South American mediators. At the same time he out lined that peace seemed to him to be conditioned on the elimination Of the Huerta administration and estab- lishment of a strong provisional gov ernment which would conduct an election giving fair treatment to all factions and guaranteeing, moreover, a solution of the agrarian problem and internal difficulties which bred the revolution.
 The president wishes the Mexican question settled on comprehensive lines which will take into account the economic principles for which Zapata in the south. as well as Car ranza in the north. has been fighting, and at the same time conserve right ful interests of the people in the ter ritory now controlled by the Huerta government.
 During the day a dispatch came to one foreign diplomat from a diplo- mauc source in Mexico City, stating that Huerta was ready to resign and permit his representatives at the me diation meetings to eliminate him, if necessary. Indications have come from the three Huerta delegates since their visit in this country that they realized Huerta's elimination 10 be regarded as essential to settlement.
 The delegates said they undrstand thoroughly that the scope of media ton now comprises the entire MeXi- can problem and are said to be ready to recommend Huerta's retirement, but only on condition that definite. understanding is reached as to the kind of government that will follow.
 The mediators have worked out a general plan which they will submit to all factions It seeks to eradicate the perplexing agrarian question by prescribing a division of lands in way to satisfy the masses, but the details are not revealed.
 President Wilson, in his final talk with the American commissioners, att which Bryan was present, spoke| hopefully and indicated that every legitimate influence at the disposal of the American government would be, exerted to make mediation succeed. Although the rebels have not yeti agreed to take part. one high U, S.' official held out hopes of their ult-l mate participation, saying a misun-I derstanding. which might be reme- died, was largely responsible for their failure to be represented at MI agara Falls.
 The president laid before the com missioners the Mexican problem asI he saw it. emphasizing the duty of the United States to seek to unself- ishingly assist Mexico and see it set up a constitutional government which would be accorded recognition by the world, because of its capacity not alone to maintain peace within It's confines, but to observe international obligations. In his talk the president touched briefly on the land question, speaking of it as a perennial cause! of discontent. which made it compar atively easy to raise a revolutionary army in Mexico.
 There is high authority for the pre- diction that when plans have reached @ tangible stage they be submitted to Carranza as well as to those be- lieved to have influence with Zapata
