PRESIDENT POST HASTE.
Niagara Falls, Ontario, June 11.—
It Is probable that an Informal dis
cussion of the peace porblem will be
held by the Mediators today, to con
sider the Constitutionalist reports.
General Carranza's answer to the
Invitation note has been sent from
Saltillo, and Rafael Zubaren Is now
preparing to forwaro It to the Med
itators, after It has been couched In
diplomatic terms.
It la generally believed that Gen.
Carranza Ignores the question of an
armistice wtth Huerta, In bis an-
jswer, but It Is believed he Is willing
I to discuss other phases of the sit
uation. In this event, the Mediators
are not prepared to admit the Con
stitutionalists to their conferences.
The United States has taken
definite stand In its demand that the
Constitutionalists, by right of do
minion, be given the right to nnmo
the Provisional President. It also
refuses to entertain the proposition
that Huerta be allowed the privilege
[of even naming his successor, al-
I though It Is desired that the Med
iators make this selection.
[Favors Neither Villa Nor Carranza,
i The Americans do not favor either
Villa, Carranza or any Constitution
alist for that position. They are
willing to accept any man whose
fairness towards the Huerta faction
Is not to be doubted. The Mexican
delegates believe that the Provis
ional President "should he neutral,
and a man who Is not allied with
either faction. This may cause n

It has been suggested—and this
suggestion may bo rarrled out—that
the mediators suspend tho negotia
tions temporarily. Then the Amer-:
lean and Mexican delegates could
meet Informally with the Constitu
tionalist representatives and thresh
out their differences. Then the gen
eral conference would be held.
Unless some definite agreement Is
reached shortly, the American del
egates -sec only one solution of the
war problem. That solution would
be to let the Constitutionalists fight
their way on to Mexico City, and
there establish a popular govern-
jment.
