leaked out here Wednesday that the
A.-B.-C. mediators have been on the
verge of handing an ultimatum to the
president Of the United States.
1t was only by the narrowest margin
that such development in the peace
negotiations was avoided. Had 1t not
been for the patient forbearance Of
Ambassador de Cana, Minister Naon
and Monster Suarez, representing the
three South American powers, Presi-
dent Wilson would have had before
him declaration with which he would
have to comply or see the Niagara
Falls negotiations broken and all
chance of peace through mediation de-
stroyed.
The American delegates, following
the agreement here upon the basis Of
the plan for the pacification of Mexico,
called upon the mediators, and in
obedience to instructions from Secre-
tary Bryan urged that an invitation be
extended to the constitutionalists to
participate in he negotiations.
The mediators promptly informed
the American delegates that they
would be happy to have Carranza par
ticipate in the negotiations. But they
pointed out that it would be most I'M
fair to admit General Carranza's agens
to the conferences unless the constitu-
tionalists agreed to suspension or
hostilities and to the general basis OF
the plan of pacification approved by
the American and Huerta delegates.

from the Abe. mediators to his let
ter dealing with the right OF the con-
stitutionalists to representation at Nj
agara.
The reply of the A.-B.-C. ENJOYS was

Few here believe General Carranza
will agree to participate in the negotia-
lions under the terms set forth by the
mediators.

Vera Cruz, June 4.-With the arrival
Of Mexico City of the arms and ammu-
milton landed from the German steam
ers Bavaria and Ypiranga, and with
the receipt of the news that another
consignment of arms had been d1sem-
barked on the west coast, there is said
TO have been a frank display of optim-
ism at the national palace and among
President Huerta's followers, both OIL
cial and civilian.
