VOL. 12, No. 27. REBELS MAY JOIN { PLAN OF MEDIATION 3 John Lind and Carranza Represen- tative Confer—No Reason Assigned at Washington for Change. BELIEVE OPTIMISM IS JUSTIFIED Willingness to Enter Discussion is Considered Encouraging—Nam e { Huerta’s Successor—Submit List Washington, May 28.—Representa- tives of the Constitutionalists here have taken steps to reopen the ques- tion of representation at the Niagara Talls mediation conference. John Lind and C. A. Douglass, the latter legal representative of the Con- stitutionalists, held what was termed a neutral conference and later went to the state department to take up the subject with Secretary Bryan. Neither Mr. Lind nor Mr. Douglass I ‘would disclose on what conditions the Constitutionalists were willing to par- ticipate, but the opinion was received that the powers of a Carranza repre ' sentative would be limited, perhaps without plenary authority and only for the purpose of furnishing informa-. tion. What sudden turn in the negotia- tions had brought about the new atti- tude of the Carranza group was not disclosed. The day's development, which un- doubtedly was one direct outcome of long conferences General Carranza has been holding over a special tele- graph wire with Emilio Zubaran, his minister of the interior, in charge of the Constitutionalist agency here, was pointed out as justifying the optimism of the last day or two in official cir- cles, where it repeatedly has been said the “negotiations were progress: ing satisfactorily.” NAME HUERTA'S SUCCESSOR Mediators Will Submit List of Possl. ble Candidates. Washington, May 28 —The A-B-C mediators will draw up a list from which Huerta’s successor is to be se lected. This list will be submitted to the United States and Huerta and to the Mexican Constitutionalists for approv- al. After it has been approved the mediators will select one man from the list andyhe will be provisional president of Mexico pending a gen. eral election. This is the plan of the mediators for settling this phase of the Mexi can question. Unless Carranza approves the list it is probable the peace conferences will fail. Carranza himself will not be included in the list unless some- thing unforeseen develops. He, how- ever, is willing to wait his own can didacy pending a general election. He informed the state department that no person approved by Huerta would be satisfactory to him. Here Is the Danger. [ It is this proposition that contains the danger to mediation. Unless the mediators take into consideration Carranza’s views the rebels will re- fuse to be bound by mediation. As a result Secretary Bryan is keeping in close touch with the rebels and his instructions to the United | States mediation delegates are in- ¥ fluenced by these conditions. £ There is much quiet criticism in congress because of the lack of au- thentic information of what is going on behind the scenes. There is a report that the United States has modified its demands on Huerta. This is expected to call forth open criticism should it prove true. 1 Officials in touch with the situation, however, contend that whatever mod- ifications are made will doubtless turn out to be of a character that will have the approval of the people of the United States. EMPEROR WILLIAM AGREES Prince Oskar Will Wed Countess Bassewitz-Levetzow. Potsdam, Germany, May 28.—Lack i . of an available Gerr an princess as a i wife for his son is said to have been responsible for the consent of BEm- peror William to the engagement of Prince Oskar to Countess Ina Marie [ von Bassewitz-Levetzow. Tt is assumed the emperor will con- fer a higher rank in the nobility as a-| result of the young prince’s choice. The emperor has an aversion to for- | eign marriages. i Lively comment was aroused by the announcement of the engagement, as the marriage will- be the first mor- ganatic union which has occurred in the Hohenzollern family since 1853.

Secures Freedom by Hunger Strike. ® by American Press Assoclation. COLLAPSES IN HER CELL Mrs. Pankhurst Released From Eng- lish Jail. London, May 28.—Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, militant suffragette lead- er, was again released from Hollo- way jail under the “cat and mouse” act after a physical collapse.
