GIVE UP
The Mexican Delegates
Annouice His Readi

REBELS WILL IGNORE
CONFERENCE ACTION
Carranza Refuses to Have
Anything to Do With Gov
ernment Which in Any
Way Recognizes Huerta—
Position of Mediators.'
Nlagara Falls, Ont., June 3.—General
Huerta Is preparing to resign. He au
thorized his representatives at the
mediation conference to announce yes
terday to the world that "neither mis
taken pride nor personal Interest"
would prevent his withdrawal after
Mexico Is "politically pacified" and the
government succeeding his Is so con
stituted that It can count on the sup
port of public' opinion in Mexico.
The Mexican delegates In a formal
statement revealed that they had been
Instructed from the first to Inform the
mediators that General Huerta's per
sonality would not be an obstacle to
ward reaching a peaceful settlement.
They also stated In unequivocal terms
that the internal situation in Mexico
waa "necessarily bound up with the
international questions," and that this
spirit had actuated them In coming to
the mediation conference. Coincident
with the renouncement by the Mexican
delegates of their position, the medi
ators last night sent a note to Rafael
«obartin, repräsentativ* of General
Carranza In Washington, replying to
the communication brought here last
Friday by Juan F. Urquidl. The medi
ators in effect asked General Carranza,
through Mr. Urquidl, If the constitu
tionalists were now willing to discuss
internal as well as international ques
tions, now considered inseparable, not
only by the mediators but by the Amer
ican and Huerta delegates as well, and
If they were ready to declare an armis
tice with the Huerta forces so that the
"political pacification" to which
Huerta delegates referred In their
statement might be speedily brought
about.
the
Deadlock It Broken.
These acts—the Issuance of the
statement by the Mexicans and the
mailing of a reply to Zubaran—broke
the deadlock In the negotiations, the
existence of which was formally denied
during the day by the mediators. It
was nevertheless authoritatively estab
lished that not until the mediators
withdrew' their original Intention of ig
noring the Zubaran note, did the Amer
ican delegates consent to go ahead with
a discussion of the general peace plan,
on which substantial progress was
maxie In yesterday's conferences.
The statement by the Mexicans, pre
pared two days ago, but not Issued
until General Huerta had telegraphed
Ills complete approval of the tentative
plan for a new provisional govern
ment, also carried the negotiations a
long steip forward and an atmosphere
of optimism prevailed In the mediation
colony last night. The text of the state
ment follows:
"In accordance with Instructions
which the Mexican delegates have had
since the beginning of the peace nego
tiations Its members declared at the
first full conference; that Is to say, In
the presence of the mediating plenipo
tentiaries and of the delegates of the
United States of America; that Presi
dent Huerta's personality is not an
obstacle to the reaching of a satisfac
tory conclusion.
"General Huerta Is prepared to with
draw from the government on condi
tion that, at the time of his with
drawal Mexico shall be politically
pacified and the government succeed
ing his shall be such as to count on
the acquiescence of the governed and
on the support of public opinion, which
constitute the real basis for peace and
stability In any country.
"It has been and is President Hu
erta's wish to place on record that
neither mistaken pride nor personal in
terest will prevent his withdrawal, once
the above named conditions are sat
isfied.
Acting In Good Faith.
"The Mexican government accepted
the mediation of the South American
powers. Age a tine, Brazil and Ohlle, in
a frank and open spirit and the Mex
ican delegation has been guided and
will be guided In all Its acts by perfect
good faith.
"It should ,t>* unnecessary to say that
President Huerta gave the Mexican
delegation «pedal Instructions not to
consent to anything which could hurt
the sovereignty of the Mexican nation
and to refuse a hearing in the deliber
ations of the conference to anything
which might he construed as an Impo
sition from the outside. For their own
part, the delegates would not have ac
cepted Instruction* of a different na
ture on these points; but they beg to
state that hitherto they have had no
occasion to refer to them, thanks to the
oxqulslte tact of the mediation pleni
potentiaries and to the circumspection
of the American delegates.
"To treat of the Interior pacification
of Mexico In the course of deliberations
on difficulties of an international char
acter cannot be considered as submit
ting the sovereignty of a nation to
external Influence; said pacification
necessarily bound up with the Interna
tional questions,
predated by the Mexican delegation
and In setlng forth the Intentions of Its
government In the matter, and In Its
endeavors to bring about the pacifica
tion it has been Inspired by the knowl
edge that without It no satisfactory
conclusion can be arrived at In the in
ternational question."
Plans for Provisional Govsrnmsnt.
Just beforo the foregoing was Issued
the Mexican delegates had a long con
ference with the medlatora Afterwards
they telegraphed General
send them the names of the men who
will be satisfactory to him for places
In the new provisional government, to
consist of two men chosen by Huerta,
two by the constitutionalists and
neutral provisional president, selected
by common agreement of all parties.
The flrfit four are to
cabinet, but are to be morally obligated
by the terms of any agreement reached
here to share equally the responsibility
of a fair administration which will be
expected not only to conduct a general
election but to make a beginning on
land, educational and other Internal
forms.
By subordinating personalities and
declaring themselves openly In favor
of treating Internal as well as Interna
tional questions In the mediation
ference while not yielding their
tlonal sovereignty, the Mexican dele
gates, It was generally agreed here, had
launched a strong argument against
the constitutionalist position as prev
iously outlined. The general view was
that If the Huerta representatives had
found no impropriety In dealing here
with the Internal Mexican situation,
the world generally would not
of technical objections to the
course which might be ofTered by Gen
eral Carranza.
Whether an armistice could be
ranged was another topic of absorbing
Interest occasioned by
Zubaran. The mediators are known to
feel that if the constitutionalists
sincerely desirous of restoring peace in
Mexico, they could easily arrange
armistice for 10 day*
without ceasing military preparations
in the meantime, and If at the end of
that period they found their Interests
were not being properly safeguarded
they would withdraw from th* ar
