Barranza’s Reply HIS SILENCE IS REGARDED AS A . FAVORABLE (_JMEN NO IMMEDIATE ACTION 'His ‘Agents at Washington Do Not Look For Answer For Two or Three Days—Believe Chieftain is Giving Proposition Careful Consideration, Niagara Falls, Ont,, June 4.—Media- tion waited another day for word from General Carranza on constitutionalist participation at the conferemnce here, but none came. The silence was re garded as a favorable omen, for it was interpreted as meaning that the con- stitutionalists were carefully weighing the advantages of mediation. A fel- ing of confidence was general that they would enter the negotiations. There were no conferences today be- tween the mediators and eithr of the delegations. The American commis- sioners staved at their hotel, studying ta already furnished them by the ‘Washington government on persons mentioned for the new provisional guv. ernment. The Mexican delegates con- ferred among themselyes. An answer from Carranza—or at least an intimation of its nature—is expected tomorrow. Should the con- stitutionalists decide to send dele- gates, there will be a delay of a few days, as the mediators have asked them to send their representatives at their convenience, affording time for information by General Carranza. In that event, the mediators may de- clare a short recess, attending in the meantime to neglected personal af- fairs. The work of mediation would be renewed as rapidly as possible, and the mediators are confident of mak- ing eyen faster progress than here- tofore when all parties in the contro- versy arc represented. Means of com- munication for the constitutionalists are even better than those possessed by the Huerta delegates. A direct telegraph line could b set up from here to Durango, Mexico, General Car- ranza’s headquarters, go that he could be kept constantly informed and fur- nish prompt replies to questions as they arise. LIND CONFERS WITH CARRANZA’'S AGENTS Urges Them to Use Their Influence for Favorable Repy from Their Leader.. ‘Washington, June 4.—General Car- ranza, constitutionalist leader, tomight had not disclosed his next move in the diplomatic negotiations toward composition of Mexican affairs. At constitutionalist heddquarters no immediate action was expected. Ra- fael Zubaran, General Carran's chief representative in_Washington, said: “I transmitted the note to General Carranza last night. He, I am sure, will give it all the necessary atten- tion and consideration before sending an answer to the mediators, so that it will probably be two or three days béfore the response is despatched. John Lind, who represented the state department 'in dealing with the con- stitutionalists. conferred with the members of the agency here through- out the day, urging them to use th influence to have their chieftain make favorable reply to the proposals of the South American mediators. _Luis Cabrara, who has been men- tioned as a probable delegate to the peace ' conference should Carranza agree to participate under the terms Pproposed, was in conference with Mr. Lind_for several hours, after which Mr. Cabrera joined his colleagues, Mr. Zubaran, Joz Vascolcelos, and Juan F, Urquidi, the constitutionalists’ agency. While mediation waited on Carranra, the subject of ammunition bound from the United States to General Carran- za’s forces was uppermost in the dis- cussion in efficial quarters, and it be- came known that Admiral Badger had been cabled to keep watch on the Mexican federal gunboats in the-vici- nity of Puerto Mexico, in view of re- ports from Mexico City that Huerta proposed to_prevent, if possible. the landing at Tampico of the munitions enroute to Carranza on the Cuban steamer Antilla, Admiral Badger was instructed to keep the vessels under surveillance and to report any of their movements to the navy department. In conse- quence the Paducah is watching the gunboat off Alvarado and the Tacoma and Sacramento are keeping in_sight two vessels in the harbor at Puerto Mexico. At 1030 o'clock today Admiral Bad- ger reported that none of the boats bad shown any signs of moving. Naval officers expressed doubt as to whether the Mexican boats successfully could maintain a blockade of Tampico with their base of supplies so far removed from Tampico, even if no attempt were made by the American ships to Prevent a blockade. . It was generally regarded here as likely that the ammunition shipped from Galveston and New York for the constitutiopalists would reach its des- tination unmolested. Conflicting state- ments as to the probable attitude of the United States regarding shipments of arms to the Mexican contending factions were difficult to recodeile. To- day’s developments threw little light on the subject, though in some quar- ters the view ‘was expressed that the American government would endeavor to prevent the delivery of arms t, General Carranza’s forces in order to influence him, if possible, to incline a favorable ear toward peace proposals at Niagara Falls. CARRANZA ON HIS - WAY TO SALTILLO Reported That He Will Make No Reply Until He Has Reached That Place. EiPaso, Texas, June 4—General Carranza’ anmouneed today through agents here that he would net make answer to the cemmunication of the A, B. CJ mediaters, nor issue. his proclamation dealing 'with the forma- tion of a previsional government in northern Mexico, until he had reach- ed_Baltillo. At tho same time it was announced that the constitutionalists’ command- er-in‘chiet had departed from Duran- £o on his way to Saltillo by way of Terreon, The delay in the issuance of the proclamatien is believed to have been oceasioned by seme phase of the Ni- agura Falls conferences and.by the reperted desire of Carranza formally to establish himself as provisional president at Saltillo, capital of the state where he served as governor un- der the Madero government.
