MEXICANS WANT

WANT PROVISIONAL GOVERN.
MENT AT ONCE, REFoRE REB-
ELS REACH MEXICO CITY.
Mediators Take the Position That
They Are Essentially counselors
and Not Dietatofs in the Destinies
Of the Mexican Republic.

Niagara Falls, Ont.-Smooth prog
ress toward common agreement on
all phases of the Mexican situation
is being made by the South American
and American and Mexican delegates.
This was stated with emphasis by
the mediators after series Of con,
ferences Monday, principally with the
Mexican delegates.
After the conference the South
American mediators made it plain
that while every aspect of the Mexi-
can situation had been laid before
the delegates from the United States
and Mexico, no agreement had been
reached on any specified order of the
issues involved.
The discussion thus far has been
of a general character The media
tors have taken the position that they
are essentially counselors and not
djctators of the destinies of the Mex
lean republic They will not suggest
names for the provisional presidency
nor recommend any form of govern
ment. From the Mexican delegates
themselves must originate proposals
concerning the internal affairs o.
their country.
The Mexican delegates do not thinl
the military campaign of the consti
tutionalists can result in the capture
of Mexico City for months at least
In the meantime it is their hope tina
a new provisional government will 5,
set up in the Mexican capital which
the United States would prompt.

ally would be followed by recognition
from the powers generally.
With q government established il
Mexico City, the Mexican delegate
believe the constitutionalists woul
be compelled to accept it, If they r.
fused, the belief prevails that a COZ
stituted government, duly recognize
and able therefore to secure ammun
