DETERMINATION PUBLIC
Representatives Of Mexican Dictator
Announce at Niagara Falls That
Once Assured of political Paci-
ficaion' General Huerta Will Re
sign His Office for Sake Of Peace.
Gen. Huerta is preparing to resign.
He Tuesday authorized his represent
atives at the mediation conference to
announce to the world that neither
mistaken pride nor personal interest
would prevent his withdrawal when
once Mexico els politically paciaed"
and the government succeeding him
is so constituted that it can count on
the support of public opinion in Mex
leo.
The Mexican delegates in their for
NAL statement revealed that they had
been Instructed from the first to IN
form the mediators that Gen. Huer-
ta's personality would not be an OBJ
stacla toward reaching a peaceful set
tlement. They also stated that the
internal situation in Mexico was "nec-
essarily bound up with the interna-
tional questions and that this spirit
had actuated them in coming to the
mediation conference.
The statement by the Mexicans,
prepared two days ago, but not is
sued until Gen. Huerta had telegraph
ed his complete approval Tuesday OF
the tentative plan for a new provi-
sional government, also carried the
negotiations long step forward. The
text Of the statement follows:
s'In accordance with the instruc-
tons which the Mexican delegation
has had since the beginning Of the
peace negotiations its members de-
clare6 at the first full conference;
Z that is to say, in the presence Of the
mediating plenipotentiar.es and OF
the delegates of the United States OF
America, that Presiden; lerta per
sonaIly is not an obstacle to the
reaching of satisfactory conclusion.
t'Gen. Huerta is prepared to with
draw from the government on condi-
ton that at the time Of his with
drawal Mexico shall be politically
pacified and the government succeed
ing his shall be such as to count on
the acquiescence Of the governed and
on the support cf public opiaion,
which constitute the real bases for
peace and stability in any country.
cit has been and is President
Huerta's wish to place on record that
neither mistaken pride nor personal
interest will prevent his withdrawal,
once the above named conditions are
satisfied. The Mexican government
accepted the mediation of the South
American powers in a frank and open
spirit and the Mexican delegation has
been guided and will be guided in all
its acts by perfect good faith.
sit should be unnecessary to say
that President Huerta gave the MeN-
can delegation special instructions
not to consent to anything which
could hurt the sovereignty Of the
Mexican nation and to refuse hear
ing in the deliberations Of the con-
ference to anything which might be
construed as an imposition from the
outside. For their own part, the del
egates would not have accepted in
structions Of a different nature on
these points; but they beg to state
that hitherto they have had no occa-
sion to refer to them, thanks to the
exquisite tact Of the mediation pleni-
potentiaries and to the circumspec-
ton Of the American delegates.
.aTo treat Of the interior pacifca-
ton of Mexico in the course OF dehb-
erations on difficulties Of an interna-
ton character can not be considered
as submitting the sovereignty OF the
nation to an external influence; said
paci6cation is necessarily bound up
with the international questions.
.aThis has been appreciated by the
Mexican delegation and in setting
forth the intentions Of its government
in the matter and it's endeayors to
bring about the pacifcation it has
been inspired by the knowledge that
without it no satisfactory conclusion
can be arrived at in the international
question"
Just before the statement was is
sued the Mexican delegates had a
long conference with the mediators.
Afterwards they telegraphed Gen.
Huerta to send them the names Of
the men who will be satisfactory to
him for places in the new provisional
government, which is to consist Of
two men chosen by Huerta, two by
the Constitutionalists and neutral
provisional president selected by COM
mon agreement Of all parties.
The first four are to compose the
cabinet, but are to be morally obli-
gated by the terms of any agreement
reached at Niagara Falls to share
equally the responsibility of fair
administration which will be expect
ed not only to conduct general cleo
ton, but to make beginning on in
ternal reforms.
