HUERTA WILL BE ELIMINATED AND JUNTA FORMED WITH
PROVISIONAL PRESIDENT^—TO HOLD ELECTIONS AND RE
STORE ABSOLUTE PEACE.
Niagara Falls, Ontario, May 28.—
The plans for the pacification of
Mexloo have been partially complet
ed by the Mediation Conference,
which has been In session a week.
The details are being withheld un
til there Is a complete agreement on
all subjects. Both sides are said
to look favorably on several main
points of the plan.
The Drat point provides for the
transfer of the executive power at
Mexico City from Huerta to a pro
visional president and four cabinet
ministers. This body ,1s described
as a commission, or junta. The live
men would have equal responsibility
for putting Into operation the pro
gram adopted by the mediation con
ference. This plan Is for the con
duct or new elections for president,
vice-president, and congressmen.
The five men composing the com.
mission would be neutral politically
and would be acceptable, as far as
possible, to all Mexican factions, and
also approved by the United States.
The United States would then Im
mediately recognize this govern
ment.
The Mexican delegates e»p<*ct the
wlhtdraiwal of United States troops
when the new government Is In
stalled.
A proctocal will proclaim the prin
ciples of basis for a study of the
land and educational problems. It
wont mention the individuals to
comprise the government. The med
iators and delegates Intend to keep
these names secret until all parties
have consented to plan, or the actual
change has been accomplished. It Is
believed that the United States Gov
ernment Is familiar with them. They
probably will be sent to Huerta also.
The protocol will declare for a
general election, fair to all, and the
restoration of a permanent govern
ment.
The mediators have found a way
to avoid a commission government
by preserving the forms of Mexico's
Constitution.
The four men, actlug with the
provisional President, probably
would take the portfolios of For
eign Relations, Finance, War and
Interior. The sub-secretaries would
take charge of the other, depart
ments.
It Is believed the agreement or
protocol will bei drawn and signed
within another week. The .Mexican
delegates hope no lime will be lost
In completing the plans. They have
Huerta’s approval to the plan's chief
points.
The mediators have not forgot
ten the Constitutionalist Interests,
but they do not expect the question
of Carranza's representation will be
ooened.
The conferences between the
mediators and Mexican delegates
occupied the entire morning.
