 Washington, June 2.-The cad meeting was held today. and afte was over none of the members wd express any views on the pronun| mento of Gen. Carranza issued night, and made known here todal news despatches.
 The latest communication fl the American delegates at,the agara conference were discsal without announcement.
 After the cabinet meeting anoi communication was telegraphed the American delegates at Nfad Falls. Its nature, like that of other, was carefully guarded It generally understood that it d tinued to deal with the participal of the constitutionalists.

 Attracts Widespread Attention.
 While administration leaders looked to Niagara Falls for the da sion of the mediators over the ou tion of constitutionalists represer tion at the mediation conference. semi-ofilcial statement from Caranl headquarters at Durango, criticis the course of the South Amerf mediRtors attracted widespread tention. Such expressions in statement as that the constitution ists point out the fact that q querors are not usually wont to | init the conquered to dictate tel of peace, which is practically wha to be asked of them by the Cd mission" were variously int preted. Administration chiefs decl to comment on the statement the Durango expression did not al the mediators' opinion toward constitutionalists.
 Hope Not Lacking.
 Hope was not lacking that dini ences between the mediators and constitutionalists could be dissipa by exchanges which recently were itiated by the delivery of the c ranza note at Niagara Falls.

They still sou word as to whether he would aa to a brief truce and whether he wo authorize his representatives to cuss the broad subject of the rep lies pacification.
 Up to this time Carranza turned n deaf ear 10 such prop, tions. aa
 Secretary Bryan was in frequ communication with the members the American mission at Mag Falls, but beyond his statement | the conference was progressing q isfactorily,' no intimation of trend of the exchanges was forthco ing. It was believed, however, q the American delegates had ceased their efforts for admittance a constitutionalist representative the conference.
 Speculation Is Renewed.
 In unofficial circles in washingl speculation was renewed today as the outcome of the mediation n liminaries if the three envoys and chief of the northern faction fai to agree on a basis for constituti' alist participation. Many observ took the position that even if med ton were confined to differences tween Huerta and the United Sta and the northern faction continr their campaign to Mexico City, tn still would be need of outside help restore normal conditions in the public. The mediators and the Am jean delegates were to resume tn conferences today. Decision on Carranza question is not expected several days. The Huerta delegat it is believed, will abide by tho voys' will in that matter.
 While the diplomatic phase of { Mexican equation was uppermost day. yet the refusal of the Amerie government to clear ships heari war cargoes to any port was an teresting development. Previously had been believed that CarranT troops would be able to repleni their arms supplies through the ps of Tampico. which they recently ca tured. However. arms for Mexic
