U. s. WILL NOT ASK INDEMNITY.
 FROM MEXICO
Wilson To Be Satisfied With Staple Government. MAKES PEACE PLANS
 MORE HARMONIOUS Will Make No Attempt to Fur tner DepIete Nations
 Drained Finances.

Niagara Falls. June s.-Mextco will not be asked by the United States to pay war indemnity. The Huerta gov ernment has learned through the American delegates that the Wilson administration will be content to have set up in Mexico a staple government to succeed Huerta rule.
 An intimation that the United States would not demand reparation for the losses sustained at Vera Cruz or ex- pect to be recouped for the enormous expenditures already made in an att tempt to pacify Mexico was given to the Mexican delegates soon after the conferences opened.
 This made it easy for the opposing delegates to meet harmoniously. It was responsible largely for. the ease with which an understanding was reached between the men and it lent consistency to the American demand that consideration be given to the constitutionaIist cause
 The submission yesterday of the American statement, accompanied by verbal assurances from the delegates Of the United. States, removed all doubt that this country was not dis posed to make any unnecessary drain. upon Mexico's already depleted finances.
