PROPOSAL OF MEDIATORS.
Isl Cararnza and Huerta to Resign
=.
Their Positions.

At Ell Paso, Texas, Robert Pes
quiera, diplomatic representative OF
Gen. Carranza, announced Friday
that he had received information
from the confidential agent of the
Mexican rebels in Washington as to
the plans which the Argentine-Brazil-
Chile mediators would propose. as a
basis for the settlement of the pres
ent inter-necine war between the two
opposing Mexican factions. The
scope Of the inquiry which originally
had concerned itself only with the re-
lations existing Between Huerta and
the United States has now been wild
ened considerably, and seeks to in
clude,. if possible, settlement of the
entire Mexican situation.
According to this information the
mediators will propose commission
form of government for Mexico, until
an election can be held for a new
president. 1t is planned to request
the resignation both Of Carranza and
Of Huerta, and to leave the entire
control of the government in the
hands of FIVE commissioners, who
will continue in authority until after
the election can be held. After the
election the. regularly nominated
president will assume his office, rul-
ing it is. hoped over united Mexico
This program includes the abso-
Lutte cessation of all hostilities on
both sides, either between the Mexi,
cans themselves. or between 'Huerta
and the United States. The commits
sion of five men, acting together with
representatives from the govern,
ments Of Argentine, Brazil, Chile and
the United States, are. in control Of
the election, with full powers to see
that absolutely fairness and impair,
tiality is maintained by the partisans
on all sdes. -

A Denver dispatch says the ar

dered to the strike district Of that
State practically brought an end to
the hostilities which have been wag-
ed increasingly by both sides for the
past several weeks.
At many places the strikers have
surrendered their firearms with the
understanding that they are not to be
taken into custody. One of the
largest bodies to thus surrender
their arms was a group Of six hun
dred and fifty at Walsenburg.
Revised figures show that thirteen
were killed and many others are
still missing after the two battles at

An interes ing phase Of the sit
uation is the threatened resignation
of many of the officers in the State
militia. They are incensed at the
statement of Gov. Ammons who de-
clared the situation was beyond

seen to tumble down the hillside
A dispatch from Walsenburg We'd

wounded is the known casualty list
in six-hour battle there, in which
less than 100 militiamen attempted
to dislodge an estimated force Of 400
strikers entrenched in the hills ad-

late in the afternoon when the troops
were withdrawn on orders, local Of

dead:
Mai. P. P. Lester, member hospital

The wounded were lieutenant

The firing was heavy when orders
were received to withdraw and Major
Testers body was left on the field.
A low range of hills that runs along
the north and east side to the town,
was the scene Of to-day's battle.
Fighting started when detachment
under Lieut.. Scott left the town
limits and started to cross over a
low rise Of ground.
