Preliminaries-Refused
To Heed.
WORKED NEAR EMBASSY
Followers Of Former Rulers
Mentioned Principally
As Leaders. +.
BY Universal service.

Paris, May S.-The statement that
the preliminary plot for the pres
ent Mexican revolution was Matched
in Paris, was made today by high
official of the Mexican Embassy
here, who added that the whole Sc
cret plan was known in advance by
President Carranza. s
The Mexican President, however.
IL is ayerred, refused to heed the
urgent warnings of his ambassador
to France. Senior PAM, that the
whole of Mexico would flare into
revolt as soon as the presidential
campaign opened.
The following are mentioned as
being chiefly concerned in the al
legged plot:
Francisco Iturbe, millionaire
backer Of Gen. Angeles, who. Joined
the villa Junta here Immediately
after hearing the news of the gen.
erals, execution in Chihuahua.
Jose Diaz, Mexican rubber king.
cousin of Porhrio Diaz, whose
estates In Yucatan and Tehuantepec
were iconfiscated by Carranza.
Ramon Garcia who acted as ad-
wiser to the late .Victoriano Huerta.
Jesus Ygnacio Mirimas, million
aire Cientifico. who escaped from
Mexico following the Nadero revo-
luton and has been living since in
a palace in the avenue du Bois de
Boulogne.
Song Writer Among Leaders.

success with his operettas in Madrid,
where he is making his home.
Hiraldo Cabreras, who was a COL
cnel under Madero, and fed to
France after the Madero revolution,
a distinguished member OF the for
eign legion.
1t is further alleged that J.
Y. Limsntour. minister of finance
in the Diaz regime. is also concerned
in the plot, but SenOr Limantour
emphatically denies this stat
ing he had refused to enter into any
conspiracy. despite his hatred of
Carransa, because he felt he was too
old. and was unwilling to concern
himself further with Mexico's trou-
bles.
Francisco de la Barra, former
president of Mexico. though not de-
nying knowledge of the plot. said
tonight he had no details of
II and had never been asked to JOIN
the alleged conspirators.
The Villa Junta' met, ii Is said, in
a lavishly furnished apartment near

Of liquidation Of war debts and repara-
tions, the principles Of which were laid
down by Premers Lloyd George and

The viewpoint of French official cir

which the whole plan rests must largely
be accepted by the United States in pay :.
ment of French debts or the system will
fail. Great Britain's acceptance of these
bonds in payment of the debt of France
also depends upon their acceptance by
the United States.
The principles of the plan. as sketched
bv the premiers. will be referred to
Washington, as well as to the Allies. for
approval and It is probable that each
government consulted will be asked TO
suggest any improvements on the plan in
order to make II acceptable all around.
IL was said today in official circles
that there was plenty of room left for
