The constitutionalist authorities al- 80 are declared to be showing a dis- position to méet all reasonable de- mands in the matter of the protection of Americans, and other foreigns in Mexico and punishment of thbse in- juring them. Thus it has just been reported that General Carranza has re- vived the commission of medical ex- perts appointed by him some months ago to ascertain the facts connected with the death of the British subject Benton and the American citizen | Bauche, #nd it is expected that the re. port will be submitted to General Car- ranzza within a few days.

N “It would be easy at this conference to write an agreement which many would consider desirable; but unless the most excellent of plans and the most excellent of men are accepted by the constitutionalists, we would only have a paper plan, perfect in form and just in expression, but wholly inef- fective to- secure peace in war-wofn Mexico. To bring that war to a close, to restore peace and constitu- tional government is the aim of the president; and that end can only be attaine@ by consulting the just wishes of the constitutionalists who are not only in numerical majority. but are now the dominant forces in the.coun- try. Not to Prevent Adoption of Reforms. “Most of those in that party will necessarily be long ignorant of the terms agreed on at Niagara Falls, but they know men, and they do know for what men stand. And if the right man is -gelected for provisional president, they can, and we hope will, accept his appointment as concrete and satisfac- tory evidence that the provisional gov- ernment is not igtended to prevent the adoption of the” reforins, to secure which the Mexican people have arisen in arms. s No Neutral Men in Mexico. “In reference to the suggestion that the provisional president should be a neutral, it is said that It is manifest that in such contest as has been waged in Mexico for years, it is not only fair, but- necessary to assume that every intelligent man of any prominence is at _heart on one side or the other, and the country might well question the patriotism of agy Mexlcan which has been colorless in such a contest, and as the provisional president must be to some extent identified with one par- ty or the other, it necessarily follows that to meet the requirements of the present situation his sympathies,which really mark the man, must be with the [ Carranza Submits to Villa. - Bl Paso, Texas.
