In south American circles it was de-

development Of the mediation con-
ference at Niagara Falls when the
United states, together with Argen-
tina, Brazil and chile signed a protocol
agreeing to recognize the government
set up by agreement Of the factions.
The effect of the statement here
was to start Il variety Of speculation4

support TO some man or group of men,

see If they cannot unite the warning

WHAT May be Done.

| General Villas representative here,
/ Enrique LlOrente promptly issued a
statement saying the convention gov
