PEACE NEGOTIATIONS STILL CONTINUE;
A. B. C. MEDIATORS DETERMINED TO WIN
NIAGARA PALLS, Ont., June 22.—
In spite of the predictions of many
that the peace conference would not
be in session today and that the war.
between the United Stftes and Mex
ico would have been resumed by this I
morning, the A. S. C. mediators were
able to secure the consent of the1
American delegates to consider a plan
of continuing the conference with the
Huerta representatives and the Villa-,
Carranza agents by holding separate
conferences and that all might thus
work together.
The A. B. C. mediators are bend
ing every effort to effect a peaceful
settlement and to avoid a rupture of,
the negotiations hy the American or
Hueria representatives.
The result of the conferences be
tween the rebel agents and the
American representatives will be con
veyed to the mediators, who will then
PLAN FOR CONFERENCES BETWE EN THE CONSTITUTIONALISTS
AND AMERICAN DELEGATES AN D THE CONTINUATION OF
THE8E WITH HUERTA REPRESENTATIVES.
inform the Huerta members of the I
conference of the results of the talks
for their consideration. The most1
friendly relations exist between the
rebel and American representatives
at the conference.
The stumbling block still remains
in the selection of a provisional presi
dent to take over the government of
Mexico from Huerta who will be sat
isfactory to Huerta and his followers,
to the rebels headed by Carranzaand
Villa, to the American government
and also to the foreign governments,
who are taking more and more in
terest in the selection of a president
(or Mexico as time passes.
President Wilson will not consider
the appointment of any but a con
stitutionalist as provisional president,
while Huerta is eaually determined
that no man now in arms against the
government shall be named, and thus
the deadlock remains.
TORREON, Mex., June 22.—Gen.
VRla, the rebel chieftain, left here
today for Zacateas to capture the
city. The rebels have concentrated
a large force and hope to take the
town and capture the federals, who
a few days ago inflicted a terrible
defeat upon the rebels under Gen.
Natera, a Carranza general whom
Villa refused to aid, although order-!
ed to. do so by Provisional President
Carranza.
The rebels have received the large'
shipments of arms and ammunition
brought to Tampico by the Ameri
can steamer Antilla and the schooner
:SuSnshlne and are ready for the bat
tle. The arms and ammunition re-,
ceived by Huerta from Germany and'
landed at Puerto have been sent to
the federals, who have been strong
ly reinforced and are ready for Gen.
Villa. \
Upon the result of the battle which,
will be fought in the next few days
depends the fate of the rebellion led
by Villa, and if successful the rebels
here are confident that the Ameri
can administration will recognize
them.
