THE ONE PAPER IN MOST HOMES—THE ONLY PAPER IN MANY HOMES AUGUSTA, GEORGIA. TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 2, 1914. MEETING AT POINT OF SWORD ONLY Constitutionalists Say They Have Nothing to Mediate With Huerta. Carranza Crit isizes South American Envoys at Niagara Falls Meet. Washington. —Rafael Zubaran, head of the Carranza agdncy here, com mented today upon Mexico City dis patches representing Gen. Huerta as desiring that the constitutionalists en ter the mediation proceedings so that Mexico's affairs might be settled by Mexicans. “The constitutionalists have nothing to mediate with Huerta." said he, "and can only meet him at the point of the sword.” Widespread Attention. Washington —The semi-official state ment from Gen. Carranza's headquar ters at Durango criticising the course of the South American mediators, at tracted widespread attention here to day. Such expressions in the state ment as that the constitutionalists “point out the fact that conquerors are not usually wont to permit the conquered to dictate terms of peace,” gave Tise to much speculation. Ad ministration chiefs declined to com ment on declarations from Niagara Falls that the Druango statement would not alter the mediators' atti tude toward the constitutionalists. Hope was not lacking, however, that differences between the mediators and the constitutionalists could be dissi pated. Secretary Bryan was in frequent communication with the members of the American mission at Niagara Falls and reiterated that the conference was "progressing satisfactorily.” Beyond this he would say nothing. Many observers today took the po sition that even if mediation were confined to differences between Hu erta and the United States and the northern faction continued its cam paign to Mexico City, there still would be need of outside help to restore nor mal conditions in the republic.
