Way Recognizes Huerta-
Position Of Mediators.

| thorized his representatives at the
mediation conference to announce yes
terday to the world that neither mis-
taken pride nor personal interest"
would prevent his withdrawal AFTER
Mexico Is politically pacified" and the
! government succeeding his Is 80 con-
stituted that 1t can count on the sup
port Of public opinion in Mexico.
The Mexican delegates in a formal
statement revealed that they had been
instructed from the first to inform the
mediators that General Huerta's per-
sonality would not be an obstacle to-
ward reaching a peaceful settlement
They also stated In unequivocal terms
that the internal situation in Mexico
was necessarily bound up with the
international questions and that this
spirit had actuated them In coming to
|the mediation conference, Coincident
with the announcement by the Mexican
delegates of their position, the medi-
ators last night sent a note to Rafael
zubafan; representative Of General
Carranza in Washington, replying to
the communication brought here last
Friday by Juan f. Urquidi. The medi-
ators in effect asked General Carranza
through Mr.. Urquidi, IL the constitu-
tionalists were now willing to discuss
internal as well as international ques-
tiohs. now considered inscparable, not
only by the mediators but by the Amer
lean and Huerta delegates as we'll, and
If they We're ready to declare an armis-
tice with the Huerta forces so that the
political pacif1cation" to which the
Huerta delegates referred in their
statement might be speedily brought
about.
Deadlock Is Broken.
These acts-the issuance of the
statement by the Mexicans and the
mailing Of a reply to Zubaran--broke
the deadlock in the negotiations, the
existence of which was formally denied
during the day by the mediators. It
was nevertheless authoritatively estab-
lished that not until the mediators
withdrew their original intention of ig-
noring the Zubaran note, did the Amer
lean delegates consent to go ahead with
a discussion of the general peace plan,
on which substantial progress was
made in yesterdays conferences.
The statement by the Mexicans, pre-
pared two days ago. but not issued
until General Huerta had telegraphed
his complete approval of the tentative
plan for a new provisional govern
ment also carried the negotiations a
long step forward and an atmosphere
of optimism prevailed in the mediation
colony last night The text of the state
ment follows

which the Mexican delegates have had
since the beginning of the peace nego-
tiations It's members declared at the
first full conference; that Is to say. in
the presence OF the mediating plenipo-

obstacle to the reaching of a satisfac-

pacihed and the government succeed

the acquiescence of the governed and
on the support of public opinion, which

Acting In Good Faith.
The Mexican government accepted
the mediation OF the South American
powers. Argentine. Brazil and Chile, In
a frank and open spirit and the Mex

will be guided in all it's acts by perfect
good faith.
''It should be unnecessary to say that
President Huerta gave the Mexican
delegation special instructions not TO
consent to anything which could hurt
the sovereignty of the Mexican nation
and to refuse hearing in the deliber-
ations of the conference to anything
which might be construed as an irnpo-
