KXTAsHINGToN, June I5.-Manuol

" ASHlNGTON, June l5.-Manuel
w Nasquez Tagle, minister Of JUS
tice in the cabinet of Madero, who
has taken no part in revolutionary
activity in Mexico since Huerta coup
in February 1913. has been prac-
tically agreed upon Dy leaders of the
Nllla-Hapata coalition as acceptable to
them for the provisional presidency
should an agreement with the Car
rama faction be possible,
Tagle was the only cabinet minister
who ala not resign when Huerta over
threw the legally elected Madero ad-
minissration. He left Mexico City
then and his since lived in the United
States In official and diplomatic
quarters there has been discussion OF
Tagle, especially because the United
states has been dsirOus of according
recognition not only to "A provisional
president agreed upon by the factions
| but one who could be brought into
power by a continuation of the legal
machinery existing before the Huerta
regime.
At present officials are watching
closely political developments in Mex
| leo. General Villas overtures for
peace made directly to Carranza have
no; yet borne fruit but such iuforma-
ton as has reached here from Vera
Cruz indicates that the first chief is
unwilling TO enter into any ocnfer-
enCes with his adversarics, insisting
that his forces will soon obtain
military supremacy which will merit
recognition from the United States
and foreign powers. Charles A. Doug
las, counsel for Carranza in Washing
ton, will leave tomorrow for Vera
Cruz to confer with the first chief
Gonzalez Refuses Peace.
Word that General Pablo Gonzalez.
the Carranza commander who is ap-
preaching Mexico City, had refused to
entertain peace proposals from a dele
cation sent by the Nilla-Zapata con-
Nentlon government reached here to-
day. Gonzalez Is understood TO have
! demanded the surrender of the capital
with i'm two days. The ssibility that
the Zapata forces will engage the Car
rama army for possession of the city
has made the foreigners apprehensive,
and already efforts are being mado
! through diplomatic channels for their
nationals in case of a transfer of
authority. Mexico City has been inter-
mittently held by all factions, and is
not considered Of stragetic Importance.
Wilson Satisfied.
President Wilson told callers today
| he believed the situation was shaping
| itself more definitely in Mexico. bat
did not reveal the administration
plans Efforts Of the Nilla-Zapata
element TO make peace with their
former allies, the Carrauza faction,
| are attracting the attention of Off
| cials but so far as is known no pres
sure is being eXerted by the United
states, tho attitude of passive observa-
| tion of developments being main-
tanned for the present
Manuel Bonilla, who was minister
of communi ,atous i'm the cabinet Of
MaderO and former governor OF
Snaloa, gave out a statement tonight
urging that General Villas plan for
| racIdcation be met half way oy Cen
cral Carr9n2a. He came to Wash
ington from General Villas heddguar-
tcrs bearing a note to the Cuited
