Heavy.

Washington, June 15.-Gen. Venus.
ltiano Carranza, first chief of the con-
stitutionalist forces In Mexico, has ap-
pointed his delegates, three in num-
Der, to the Niagara mediation confer
ence. They are:
Fernando Igleslad Calderon, leader
of the liberal party, now at Saltillo.
Luis Cabrera, confidential agent of
General Carranza in Washington.
Jose Vascoacelos. former confiden-
ttal agent of Carranza in Canada, now
attached to the constitvtionalist junta
In Washington.
General Carranza named these dele
gates in telegram received by Rafael
Zubaran from the constitutionalist
chief. This was Carranza's reply to
the mediators' last note to him. His
message was forwarded by Senior Ia
baran by mail to the mediators at
Niagara Falls.
1t stated positively and on author
ity by correspondent that:
/. The Carranza note makes no allu-
sion to an armistice, and, in fact,
wholly ignores the intimation of the
mediators in their note of June 2,
which told the first chief Of the con-
stitutiona-ists that their delegates
would be received only If the stipular
ton as to an armistice were adhered
to by the constitutionalists.
2. There is nothing in the Carranza
note indicating any willingness on his
part to consent to the discussion by
his delegates, If they are admitted at
Niagara, of the internal affairs of the
Mexican people.
3. There is nothing in the Carranza
note indicating that his delegates are
to attend on any other terms than
those which he himself has named In
his earlier letters to the A.-B.-C. en-
voys.
Niagara Falls, Ont, June 15.-Dele-
gates from the United States and the
Huerta government formally affixed
their signatures in the presence of the
mediating representatives of Argen-
tine. Brazil and Chile to the first pro-
tocol of the series through which It is
hoped TO restore peace in Mexico.
The agreement reached in relation
to the manner of transferring the ex-
ecutive power from Huerta to the new
provisional government stood the acid
test of reduction to writing. 1t pro-
vides that:
A government is to be constituted
IN MnwfnA - n ~ho~ - a. he Iokn
provided, which shall be recognized
by the United States on (date to be
fixed and which from that day for
ward shall exercise public functions
until there shall be inaugurated con-
stitutional president.
The question of constitutionalist rep
resentation, however, is still open. The
mediators say they will not officially
admit the Carranza delegates unless
they agree to an armistice.
1t is not doubted that the American
delegates may try to obtain a hearing
for the constitutionalists and that
some way may be found for them to
participate in the peace parley after
they arrive.
On Board U. S. s. California, Mazat-
Ian, Mex, June 10 (via wireless to
San Diego, June Unconstitutional
lists under General Obregoa began
their first concentrated general as
sault on the federal Notifications at
Mazatlan, commanded by General Rod
riguez. The battle ragged all day, and
although the besieged garrison held
its positions it lost heavily in killed
and wounded.
