 FL PASO, Oct. 16.-Copies of the terms of a tentative agreement be- tween the United States and Mexico, for the exportation. of corn into Mexico on condition that the restrictions on the export of metals from Mexico be removed, have been received here by mining companies having interests in Mexico.
 These terms were drawn up at con ference held in Washington between representatives of the federal reserve board. the ate department, the treas ury department, the director of the ; mint, the food export board, Prof. Bru- ] ere, William Loeb, Jr., and others. Fletcher Wired.
 Ambassador Fletcher was sent cablegram, according to the informa- tion from Washington, instructing him, . that if the Mexican government would revoke the decree placing an embargo on the exportation of gold and silver bullion, the United States would per nit the exportation of gold to Mexico in monthly allotments. These aliot- ments included $1O,OOO, 900 for October. s1 .600,O00 of which has been exported and s4,5SS,000 applied for by the Mex ican government. In addition S5,OOO,- 900 will be permitted to be exported in November, S2,5O0,00O in December and an equal amount during January and February and March of next year.
 Corn In Exchange,
 In re: urn, the United States agreed to permit 100000 bushels of corn to be exported each month to the Mexi- can chamber of commerce to be dis tributed by it and sold at a profit of not more than per cent
 Corn For Mexico.
 Applications Of operating companies in Mexico for corn for their employees will also be granted by the food export board. However, assurances, must be given that a food embargo will be placed against all other countries.
 Must Assure Embargo.
 The Mexican government must also assure an embargo on gold to other countries and that the parity of Amer ican gold be maintained. Mexican Ambassador Ignacio Bonillas, cabled his approval of the tentative agree ment to his government and it is ex- pected ro become effective at once, ac- cording to the telegram received here.
 Mining Work To Resume.
 American mining men here said to- night the tentative agreement would mean the immediate resumption of wholesale mining operations in the re- public. Many said they found the metals embargo almost prohibitive and it was known here many Gompan- ies had planned to close their proper ty if the decree remained effective
 The mining men also claimed to see in it an indication of Mexico's friendly attitude toward the United States and the entente allies and pre- dicted that this agreement, if ratified by President Carranza, would be the first of a series of friendly agreements between the two countries to the mu- tual interest of the allies.
 Pro-AIIy Sentiment. The appearance in Chihuahua City of new newspaper wi.h a strong pro- ally policy was also taken as an indi- cation of the new feeling of friendship. This paper is called Actualidodes and contains a number of leading articles favorable to the allies cause. This paper is expected to counter-act the strong German propaganda which has been spread in the state by papers subsidized by Germans. Americans arriving here from Chihuahua City say the pro-German feeling has given way to a pro-ally sentiment and antag- onism to the Americans is found only among the poor peon class.
