cabbage heads are real estate. and
that the neighbor's remedy is to bring

Neutrality-suspicious. Huerta has
authorized the Mexican mediation
delegates to submit his resignation. In
case such q course is found necessary
to a settlement in peace negotiations.
This was stated positively in dis
patches from a thoroughly competent
diplomatic source In Mexico City to
one of the foreign representatives
here and confirms intimations given
by friends of the delegates here.
According to this Information from
Mexico City General Huerta at first
authorized the delegates to discuss
only the question of the Tampico con-
flict leading to the American occupa-
ton Of Vera Cruz. Later the Mexican
dictator. 1t is explained. came to rec
ognize the necessity Of broaoer set
tiement, and then conveyed to the
delegates assurances that he was pre-
pared to step down should this course
be found necessary by them.
The problem causing chief concern
to diplomats in Mexico City now is
that of the form Of administration to
be established during the interregnum
before constitutionally elected presi-
dent could assume office. No intima-
tions concerning the name of possi-
BILE successor to Huerta were con-
tained in the dispatch. this subject be-
ing one in which 1t would be neces-
sary to consult the opinion of Con-
stitutionalists and other leaders in
Mexico.

had long talk with the Huerta rep

This view coincided with that OBJ
tanned from other persons who had in
formal talks with the Huerta dele
gates here. The three Mexicans did
not divulge the nature Of their long
