As a preliminary President Wilson, » supported by the Ilatin American ¥ countries, will again call upon tho warring military chieftains in Mexi- co to compose their differences and enter into a conference or convention to decide’ upon terms of peace, Carranza to Be Persistent. * The plan of action formulated by President Wilsen, and his advisers is based on . .the beliet that Carranza is Mlikely to be persistent in his refusal to necgotiate with the forces that are opposing him in Mexica. Carranza’ refusal. to. join with other Mexican eaders in setting up 4 government in ‘thé republic by peaceful means will be followed by steps that will have the active support of -the United States and possibly of the six repub- Qos of South and Central .

None, of the military leaders now prominent in Mexican affairs will have opportunity to'attain the presi- dency of the republic under the plan of ‘pacification just perfected by Pres- {dent Wilson and Secretary of State i Lansing. Carranza, Villa, Zapata and all the others.are to be eliminated and a group to be formed of men who are to be entrusted with the task of setting up, if possible, a govern- ment that the United States and other powers may in conscience recognize as a constitutional sovereignty. Policy Formulated Months Ago. rolicy, President Wilson has sought for & meens which will permit Mexi- mans themselves to right affairs in Mexico, the United States merely to stand by and see that 'there is ‘' no interference wtih the reorganization. Officials here say the policy. ' was thought out before the president is« sued his proclamation on June 2 en- joining the factions to compose their differences, Zapate at onco signified a Willingness to dimcuss terms of peace’ with Car- ranza, but Carranza gve notice ' that with his enemies. On June 80 the Secretary of State, by direction of the president, sounded Argentina, Brazil, Chill, Bolivia, Ur- whether they would Jjoin with United States in & conference design- fean border, Favorable replles were received and the conterence of Thurs- day was called. Only the ambassadors trom Brasil, Chili and Argentins and ithe Ministers from Bolivia, Uruguay and Guatemala and Secretary of ’Bnt:m Lansing will. attena the gather- {1 " Prompt Action Planned. - No time will'be Tost after Thurs- day's: meeting in taking steps to put the plan in operation. First, Carranza will be invited to enter into a peace conference with his opponeénts in Mex- ico. Refusal by him will be followed by the embargo. By that time, it is expected, most of the influential ledad- ers identified with the Carranza move- ment will be ready to give assent to the plan of pacification ‘supported by the United States and the leading re- publics of South and Central America. If the policy. of the Wilson admin- :’tfiattlgn prevubto-be feasible there en seon organized a gro that will rally l-rsund & man wh‘: c‘:s‘: cupled a plade {n the cabinet of Fran- cisco Madero. This man 1S Vasquez Tggle, minister of finance, who did not resign his position on the assump- tion‘of power by Huerta and who i | regarded as the legitimate successor to the vacancy at the head of the con- stitutional government created by the death of Madero. t The' claim made by the Car- ranzistas that Tagle has no legal title to the office of president because, they argue, wh::m adero resigned just be- fore his d all’the members of his “eabinet ipso favto became private citl- ‘Zens. Article 81 'of the Mexican con- stitutioh, whichids quoted by those who' uphiold the Wilson plan of paci- fication, provides that in the event of ‘& default of the president or vice -president - the “ord ©of succession shall run through’the cabinet, begin- ning while the minister of foreign af- Upon the death of Madero his min- ister of foreign affairs, Pedro Las- curain, sucoceeded to the office of presi- dent, a post that he held for less than an hour; being compelled to retire by ‘Huerta, who, as ths minister of the intérfor, the next in line of succession, became president. 'All the other mem- bers of the Madero cabinet eithet re- signed or quit the country, thus losing the opportunity that now appears to be opening for Tagle. 'There is no expec- tation here that Tagle will long con- tinué as president of the proposed pro- visional governmeént. It is understood that the plan is for Tagle to name a man who will be agreed upon for min= ister of foreign affairs and then resign the presidency. . His minister of for- eign affairs will succeed to the office, whereupon a . constitutional election will be called to enable the people to choose a president. 4 Administration ‘officials regard the new Mexican policy as entirely prac- ticable. They are confident that it will have the support of a great ma- jority of the Mexican leaders and that it will be generally acclaimed by the native population. They admit, how- ever, ' that difficulties are possible which may compel the United States to intervene and send troops into be operated “upon, but I refused asIdo / )| Mexico to relieve and protect the for- eign population. Such & course, it is contended, would not be an act of war, The state department received in- formation yesterday that telegraphic communication has been restored be- tween Mexico City and Vera Cruz and that food supplies are now being re- ceived In the Mexican capital. This was denied by later despatches re- ceived from Consul Silliman at Vera Cruz. The Carranza agency an- nounced yesterday that Gen. Gon- zales has entered Mexico. City in triumph and that he was acclaimed by the people. State department advices are to the effect. that Gonzales has ‘entered the suburbs, but {s not yet in the capital itself. . The agency made public a despatch from Verd Cruz in which the state- ment was made that hungry Mexicans in Mexico'City are being fed. The an- nouncement was made also that in a recent engagement with Villistas south of Torréon Gen. Obregon captured 3,000,000 rounds of ammunition. A despatch to the agency from Vera Cruz states that the so-called Villista flying column is in retreat northward. % Lansing in Charge. i+ Cornish, N.

Captain Mattery was a member 'of General Villa's avia- tion corps. That he is here to. tell the story is not due tg the courtesy of the general,.. Mattery escaped from tive, . with a death sentence on his head. On July 14, Villa’s army headquarters announced the death of Captain Mattery, describ- ing how his machine plunged 5,000 feet to earth. Appended was an eulogy of Mattery’s gourage by Villa mself. ¢ 2 Eluded His Guards, A\ That, Captain Mattery says, is the way Villa has-of doing things. .

Staring ‘for Newport from New London this forenoon, off , Fisher's Island the yachts bumped into a ! smarting cross seas and a twenty-five mile east wind which at once put sev- eral yachts out of commission through breaks and strains of varjous sarts and drove other craft to seek the shelter of the harbor. < Chief of the disabled vessels was the Resolute, oné of\ the America’s Cup candidates, which met with an accident to her top hammer and was towed to port. ‘The Resolute's rival the Vanitie, catrying a working top- sail, which the former did not do, went through the ordeal in gallant style and was the first of the racing craft to cross the finish line. The Vanitie finished at 3:16 p, m.’ after a thresh of thirty-eight miles When A. S. Cochran’s boat crossed the line only the great ninety-foot schooner Enchantress was in sight and she was miles away. The En- chantress was the second boat to fin- ish. The Samuri and the Grayling of the fifty-footers finished in order. The Vanitle gains the credit of a victory, since once a yacht crosses the starting liné in a race she must keep herself together and loses the contest if she leaves it, as the Reso- lute @id.
