dent Wilson on the Mexican situation
before the regular cabinet meeting to-
day, announced that both he and the
president were hopeful that the con-
stitutionalists would participate in the
mediation proceedings at Niagara Falls.

led by John Lind, who has been serv-
ing as a special representative of the

dent in many weeks. After Secretary
Bryan left 1t was learned that beside
discussing the prospects of constitu-
tionalist participation in mediation,
they also had taken UP the proposed
landing of arms for the constitutional
lists at Tampico by the steamer Antilla,
Nothing could be learned as to the con-
clusion that had been reached as to
what this government would do in view
of the suspension OF the Huerta block
ade.
General Carranza's agent here Ra-
fael Zubaran, was In direct communi-
cation with Carranza last night over
a special wire from Washington to FL
Paso and thence into Mexico. A part
of Carranza's reply to the mediators'
proposal has already been received, but
has not been made public.
