Washington, June 15.--Nueal VAS
Iquez Tagle, minister of Justice in the
cabinet Of Madero, who has taken no
part in revolutionary activity In Mex
leo since Huerta's coup detat in
1913, has been practically agreed up
on by leaders of the villa Zapata
coalition as acceptable to them for
the provisional presidency, if agree
ment with the Carranza faction he
possible.
Never Resigned From Post.
Tagle was the only cabinet minister
who did not resign when Huerta
overthrew the legally-elected Madero
administration. He left Mexico city
then and has since lived in the Unit
ed States. In official and diplomatic
quarters there has been much discus
sion of Tagle, especially because the
United States has been desirous of
according recognition not only to a
provisional president agreed upon by
the factions but one who could be
brought into power by continuation
of the legal machinery existing be-
fore the Huerta regime.
Carranza Is stubborn.
At present officials are watching
closely political developments in
Mexico. General Villas overtures for
peace, made directly to Carranza.
have not yet borne fruit, but such
as has reached here
from Vera Cruz indicates that the
first chief Is unwilling TO enter into
any conferences with his adversaries,
that his forces will soon OBJ
tain a military supremacy which will
merit recognition from the United
States and foreign powers.
Charles A. Douglas. counsel for
Carranza in Washington, will leave

first chief
