Washington, Aug. 9.-Secretary
Lansing stated to-day that definite
Mexican policy was agreed to at his
conference with the Latin-American
diplomats on Friday, and that he
asked for an adjournment to submit
the plan to the President. The Secre-
,ary said he was pleased with the
programme, and indicated that he
expected the conference at New
York on Wednesday would be final.
This announcement was made to
end widely printed statements that
the conference had been a failure.
The Secretary would not divulge the
plan. but it was learned that it
would lead to the elimination of Car
rama.
The conferrees are understood to
have determined to present the situ-
alton to all of the various elements
in Mexico, addressing directly not
only Generals Carranza, Villa and
Zapata, but the governors of states,
all military leaders with any consid-
cradle followings and other infiuen-
tial men, urging them to come to-
gether for a conference at which a
substantial provisional government
might be framed
Hope for Civilian Support
A government so set up would
have the support of the United
States and other American repub-
lies. Officials here believe it would
be able to suppress promptly eny
dissatisfied groups which might at
tempt to continue civil strife. 1t is
hoped that none of the important
chiefs will offer opposition to the
plan. but if trouble does develop
and action is necessary by the
American powers, the conferrees
believe they would have the support
and approval of the civilian pOpula-
ton of Mexico in any step which
might be taken to assure the resto-
ration Of peace.
According to the State Departments
information Mexico is clamoring for
peace, and the general belief is that
Carranza is the sole remaining OBJ
stacle. Villa, it is said, is willing to
lay down his arms and agree to any
provisional government not headed
by Carranza.
The Carranzs party consists, as near
ly as can be learned here, Of about
$4,000 soldiers under civil and military
officials who are believed to be willing

son assigned by the State Department
for Minister Cordosa's determination
to leave Mexico. When the Mexican
