American requirements Known

New Orleans, June 24.-What pur-
ported to be the details of the demands
made by the United States on General
venustiano Carranza, through which
Carranza's representatives would be
admitted to the mediation conference
at Niagara Falls, were given out here
today by Fernando Iglesias Calderon,
chief of the liberia. party in Mexico
He is enroute to washington in con-
nection with the Mexican problem.
Aside from the armistice feature,
which Carranza refused to consider,
Mr. Calderon said it was the demands
concerning disposal of religious ques-
items and the time when elections
should take place, which greatly in
terested the constitutionalists. Ac-
cording to the statement of the liberal
party leader today, the United States
demanded all property confiscated by
the constitutionalists should be re
turned to the church, that buildings
destroyed should be paid for, that
property should be potected and that
priests driven from the country should
be allowed to return. To this Carran'
ga replied, according to Calderon's
statement that the constitutionalisi
laws of reform provided that all church
properties should go to the state wher
needed and also that the priests mus
go.
Mr.. Ca1deron also stated that Carran
"a refused to accede to the demands
for elections as soon as the revoiu
ton is ended. His reply to that, &C
cording to the statement, was tina
elections could not take place unit

would not agree to holding an eiectio

Washington, June 24.-Persistent
reports of sniping by Mexican feder-
ais on the American outposts at Vera
Cruz and rumors of constitutionalists
further advances toward Mexico City
served today to stir interest in the
Mexican situation. Although the war
department will make public no re-
port from General Funston regarding
sniping on the Americans, it is known
there has been Investigation of con-
tinued reports to that effect. There
have been inferences that Huerta's
forces were attempting to provoke a
fight with the American troopers and
force Intervention.
Patient waiting on mediation con-
tinued today to be the attitude of the
administration. The coming of Al
fredo Breceda, Va representative of

with interest in official circles. That

and asked why these two articles had
not been sent with the other goods.

cotton growers imported cotton seed
from Egypt which was found infested
with the pink boil worm, the greatest
pest in the Egyptian fields. The seed
was confscated as it should have
been. To have introduced the pink
boil worm might have ruined the cot
