The composition of the new provisional government, its form and personnel, w-as discussed by Am erican nnd Mexican delegates, in an informal talk with the mediators. No agreement was reached but it is be lieved this plank in the peace plan will set forth that the new govern ment shall consist of a provisional president and four cabinet ministers, comprising the portfolios of foreign affairs, finance, war and Interior ad ministration. From Husrtistas. Today's discussion showed the Am ericans that Mexicans of prominence who have been active in the constitu tionalist party will meet with serious opposition from the Huerta delegates as presidential possibilities. Various plans for the form of the new government are before the medi ators. A committee of five with one executive, a Junta d« goblerno, or council of three, and a provisional president are being considered. The .last witl be Insisted on by the Mexi cans.
