pointed minister of foreign atfalrs,
is expected tomorrow or Wednesday
Minister Saurez of Chile, one of the
three mediatocs, anticipating the re-
urement of Huerta, sought in an IN
formal talk with Bryan to learn what
the attitude of the United States
would be toward the Carbajal gov
eminent. While the Washington
government will not recognize Car
bajal. Suarez learned that the Amer
lean government would not be dis
inclined TO treat informally with the
new administration until the trans

rama explained in detail why it would
be impossible to engage in peace par

constitutionalist chief said he had con-
suited all his generals and their unani-
nous opinion was that the plan of
Guadalupe, providing that he himself
act as president ad interim and take
military possession of Mexico City, be
carried out to the letter
CarranZa assured the American rep

forces would soon enter Mexico City
and maintain order there. The sug-

Huerta forces would surrender uncon

tion If excesses are committed on then
