ratified
This information came today from
Secretary Lansing, who though he
would not discuss details, said he was
decidedly encouraged over the pros
pect.
The confidence expressed hy off
cials generally here that the eonterees
We're representing the United states,
Brazil, Argentina, BOLIVIA Guatemala
and Uruguay, win he able 20 shape "a
course likely 90 bring peace ana re-
store constitutional government in
Mexico is due to the fact that all are
agreed that most of the people of the
irevolution-tom republic are thorough
ly sick of war and with encourage
ment from friendly powers Will
promptly join i'm a movement TO clean
house. A large section of the coun-
try and a vast majority of the people
have not been involved in the fighting
which followed the overthrow OF
Huerta Moreover 1t has been re-
ported to President Wilson and Sec
retary Lansing that only the fear of
reprisals 10y the military chieftains
has kept the people i'm subsection
while the country has been improver-
ished by the battles of relatively small
forces of armed men.
WIN Address All Elements.
fbaGa
reports the Pan-Amertcan conferees
are understood to have determined to-
present the situation to all Of the
various elements IN Mexico, address
ing directly not only Generals Carran-
"a. villa and Zapata, but the COVER
nors of states. all military leaders
with any considerable folowngs and
other influential men, urging them
( to come together for caucus at
/ which "a substantial provisional gov
ernment might be framed.
L. S. Would support Such Government
A government so set up would have
the support Of the United states and
other American republics. Officials
here believe il would be able to sup
press promptly any dissatisfied groups
which might attempt 10 continue
civil strife, II is hoped that none Of
The important chiefs will offer oppo-
sition to the plan, but if trouble does
develop and action is necessary by the
American powers, the cOnferees would
have the support and approval of the
civilian population Of Mexico In any
step which might be taken to assure
the restoration Of peace.
Joint Intervention suggested
There has been talk of joint armed
intervention by the powers represent
ed i'm the conference To quiet any
leaders who insist upon remaining in
the field with military forces Some
of the conferees, however, are said to
believe that the moral support of the
powers behind such elements as join
In the conference for new provis
ional government, together with a
strict embargo AGAINST the shipment
OF war munitions to any one in Mex
leo except the government so formed
would quickly accomplish the desired
result.
Secretary Lansing talked optimist-
ically today about the situation.
"When the conference adjourned
here last Friday" he said, "it had
reached the point whore very defi-
mite policy with regard to the solution
Of the Mexican problem had been
agreed upon. The conference was ad- I
jourucd because ! wished to consult /
President Wilson regarding this
agreement"
Ortcga's Expulsion a shock
Administration officials were some /
what perturbed over official am
nouncement that the Guatemalan /
minister TO Mexico. Mr.. Ortega. had /
been ordered from Mexico by General /
Carranza and reports that friction be- I
tween Carranza and Senor Cardoza. /
Brazilian minister TO Mexico and for I

States to confer with Mr., DaGama
Brazilian minister. who is one OF the /
Mexican conferees. he viii travel /
from Vera cruz to New orleans on +
an American gunboat which will also I
bring Miniscter Ortcga.
brazilian Affair a Mystery.
Secretary Lansing said he had no .
knowledge Of the Brazilian minister's /
reason for leaving Mexico nor of his I
intended visit TO the United states (
except he had heard the minister s f
health was poor Authoritative in I
formation from diplomatic sources /
however. is to the effect that General I
Carranza and Mr. Cardoza have not I
been friendly for some time and thar (

10 prevent an open breach c. A.
Douglas, Carranzas counsel here. ad /

between Carranza and Cardoza but
