ELIMINATE REBELS
FROM PEACE PLAN
Mediators Notify Carranza Invi-
tation Is withdrawn.
HUERTA NAMES TWO AGENTS
Mexican Dictator Notifies Diplomats of
Seiectlon-President Wilson to Meet
Funeral Ship From Vera
Cruz Next Monday.

Washington, May 5.-A.-B.-C. medi-
ators have eliminated Carranza from
the peace proposals. They have mott
fled him that as he has refused to
agree to an armistice the invitation to
him to join in the Mexican proceed
ings is withdrawn and that he need not
send a representative. AS Huerta has
limited his Representatives to con-
sideration of the Tampico incident, the
mediation plan appears to be practical
ly throttled.
Situation Is Precarlous.
After comforting with the mediators
Secretary Of State Bryan appeared to
be far less optimistic than for several
days. Whether the practically en-
forced elimination of Caranza from
the mediation equation will upset all
the good work Of the peacemakers is
the question OF the moment, The
whole situation Is precarious, although
1t had been expected that the consti-
tutionalists would not enter sincerely
into any movement which embraced
an object broader than settling differ
ences between the United States and
the de facto government in Mexico.
Leave Rebels Loophoie.
The language of the latest telegram
| sent by the mediators left open to
Carranza the privilege of sending a
special representative to participate
in peace negotiations whenever he was
willing to arrange an armistice with
Huerta.
There no longer Is any hope Of
bringing the internal warfare in Mex
leo to even a temporary cessation.
The Carranza and Villa forces seem
determined to press their campaign
against Huerta.
There is belief that will not down
that Huerta desires to force invasion
Of his country on the part of the
United States if he cannot be relieved
Of the pressure of the revolutonists.
Meanwhile the mediators are going
ahead with the idea of carrying out
their program, In some part at least,
and there Is no intimation that the
conference scheme will be abandoned
in its entirety
Huerta Agents to Montreal Soon.
City of Mexico, May 5.-El Pals an
nounced that Augustin Rodriguez and
Luis Elguero, both connected with the
Mexican national railroads, and Senior
Emilio Rabasa would depart soon for
Montreal to attend the mediation con-
ference initiated by Argentina. Brazil
and Chile to settle the trouble between
Huerta and the United States,
May Meet in Montreal.
Montreal is the proposed conference
seat that meets with greatest favor
at present. Some Canadian city I'M
doubtedly will be selected II 1t Is
deemed advisable to take the DELHI
erations beyond the limits of the
United States.
Word that Huerta was in desperate
straits came from many quarters. One
dispatch, from a foreign minister at
Mexico City, said of Huerta, position
desperate" but gave no details. An
other. through diplomatic channels, re-
ported Mexico City "outwardly quiet.
Still another referred to the doubtful
attitude of the troops heretofore 10y
al to Huerta.
Information also came that the quar-
rels between General Banquet. Mexi-
can minister of war, and Huerta
might bring Banquet to the front In
the event Of Huerta's fall, much as
Huerta rese-on the-ucollapse Of the
Madero regime and the Felix DiaZ
movement
Carranza Refuses to Yield.
FL Paso, Tex, May 5.-As result

tors.
