Niagara Falls, Ontario June 12.-Ths
third protocol of the Niagara Falls
peace conference was drawn up and
duly signed at a full meeting OF the
conference this afternoon. This pro-
tocol provides that provisional gov
ernment shall supercede General
Huerta, shall assume control of the
government Of Mexico, and shall re-
store peace and conduct a constitu-
tional Presidential election at a date
yet TO be determined.
The first plank was divided in two.
So much Of the original plank as pro-
vided that the provisional government
should consist Of five men, including
the President and four members of the
Cabinet and that among these five men
a majority vote should control. went
over for further discussion, as did also
the provision that the transfer of
authority shall be effected through the
appointment by Huerta OF the man
designated by this conference as Min
lister Of Foreign Affairs and his sue
cession to the Presidency in accordance
with the constitution of Mexico on the
resignation of Huerta. While no agree
ment has been reached on this latter
point, both sides to the mediation ex-
press the view that il they can agree
upon a man for provisional President
the method OF his induction will pre-
sent no insuperable obstacles.
To Take Up Names To-day.
Another session of the conferences
will be held tomorrow, at which names
will be considered again. The media
tors at first suggested five names. az
was told in these dispatches at the
time The number has now been in
creased TO something like twenty-four.
To all who have been suggested objec-
tion has been made by the American
delegates, although they have not sug-
gested single name themselves.
The real crux Of the mediation is
the selection Of man for provisional
President OF Mexico. If such a man
can be agreed upon there will be little
difficulty in agreeing upon all other
points i'll controversy.
The mediators and the Mexicans en-
tertain fears that il Washington SUBJ
mits the names under discussion TO the
Constitutionalists they will interposs
objections to every one. Nevertheless
the mediators will proceed until such
time as they are convinced that fur
ther efforts to procure a complete
agreement are hopeless.
Case Of the AntiIIs.
The mediators to-day received a
reply to the representations which they
made to Washington Saturday at the
instance OF the Mexican delegates con-
cerning the arms and ammunition
shipped to the Constitutionalists at
Tampico on the Antila. Secretary
Bryan replies TO these representations
that he had not intended that such mu-
nitions Of war should be shipped TO
embargo on munitions of war was TO
all intents and purposes. in effect. He
said that the Antilla sailed before he
had an opportunity to stop her.
The mediators had already received
an expression OF thanks from General
Huerta for their good offices In COM
municating these representations TO
the government of the United States
The mediators have achieved nota-
b,e triumph in persuading the Mexican
delegates not to withdraw from the
conference because OF the Antilia In
cident. They believe il would have
been easy for the United States to de-
toin the Antilla en- route or to prevent
her landing so much Of her cargo as
consisted OF contraband OF war. But
they have needed the urging OF the
mediators and have refrained from
summary action. and apparently they
have been successful in prevailing on
General Huerta TO do the same.
First Two Protocols.
The protocol signed to-day was the
third which has been agreed upon and
to which signatures have been affixed.
The first contained declaration OF the
initiation of the peace conferenc and
the rules to govern its proceedings.
The second. as told in these dispatches
at the time, contained the declaration
Of the Mexican delegates, on behalf OF
President Huerta. that he would retire
from ONCE in favor OF the provisional
government agreed upon at this con-
ference.
