FAVORS REBELS AT PEACE CONFERENCE
Mediators and Mexican Delegates Also at Niagara Falls
Willing to Admit Carranzistas if They Will
Agree To Be Bound by the Armistice.
?p. ? avu la til? Trihun- '
Mexico City. June 1.?It is learned from a wholly trustworthy
source that President Huerta's proposition for the settlement of the
Mexican difficulty involves primarily the admission of representa?
tives of the rebels to the mediation conference at Niagara Falls, so
that the questions affecting Mexico may be discussed and adjusted
between Mexicans exclusively.
With this basic condition Huerta couples the rejection of the
American suggestion of an interregnum or new provisional gov?
ernment in Mexico.
The adoption of that plan, he says, would imply an impairment
of nacional sovereignty.
General Huerta proposes, on the other hand, that elections for
President. Vice-President, deputies and state governors be held on
July ?5. according to arrangements previously made.
The elections in question are to be free and fair, and to that
end General Huerta suggests that the rebels have the privilege of
exercising supervision in those portions of the country that are con?
trolled by his government and his government agents in those por?
tions of the country controlled by the rebels.
Finally. General Huerta binds himself solemnly to the media?
tion conference and before the civilized world to hand over the
supreme power to the person who shall be elected at elections thus
conducted.
MEDIATORS MAKE ARMISTICE

Into an armistice. Even tiie Mexican
delegates would agree to this.
The mediators will not, however, -.-k
th?? Mexicans to consent to the admis?

a step would *. iolate the sense of Jus

the admission of the Constituuonalis's

in favor of su<-h admission, but they do
not ?ay whether or not Pr?sident Wil?
son regards such admission as essen?
tial. In fa? t, they assert that they do
not know what is In th?? mind of Presi?
dent Wilson.
The mediators ha?.? pointed out to
both the American and the Mexican
delegates that their mission is to make
peaci*. not to settle the internal af?
fairs uf Mexico, and that they are con?
vinced that if a neutral provisional
gOV*mm?**nt is sat up in Mexico City
ihere will bo abundant opportunity f?>r

The mediators held an Informal ?"ti

this morn.ng, after which Justice La
mar said.
"We had a conference this m??rnlng,
in which we ?ontlnued the discussion
of a p'iint on which we had not agreed
on Saturday. The matter is still under
discussion, but we faaund In our tal..

This afternoon the mediators had au
