CAM WILL NOT PARTICIPATE Cannot Consent That Affairs of Mexico be Handled by Mediation. ? . STRIFE IS NEAR ENI). Kays the Reactionary Faction is Broken to Pieces and Has Only Small Territory. Vera Cruz, Sept. 10.?Gen. Venustlano Carranza's reply to the appeal of the United States and the LatinAmerican countries for a conference between the leaders or the various Mexican factions, having in view ail adjustment of Mexico's internecine struggle is a polite but unequivocal "no." In a note issued by Foreign Minister Acuna, General Carranza lias told the diplomats that he can permit of no interference whatever by foreign governments. He explains j that he is in control now of all Mex-I ico except the states of Chihuahua and Morelos, and a part of the state of Sonora. The signers of the note to Carranza are invited to come themselves or to send representatives to some point along the Rio Grande for a conference at which the affairs of Mexico may be discussed "solely from an international point of view," and with the idea that Carranza's government be recognized as the de facto government in Mexico. The diplomats are told that the first chief of the Constitutionalists now commands an army of 150,000 men; that the functions of public service have been restored, the railways repaired and railway traffic resumed. The note adds that in the fields and the cities there have been reborn the activities of normal life. Stress is laid on the assertion that soon the entire country will be at peace. The reply insists that the first chief is actuated by the highest motives in declining to participate in the conference. It is stated that the fact that the Revolutionists had entered into a pact at Vera Cruz with the old government was one of the weaknesses of President Francisco I. Madero's arrangement for the rehabilitaton pf Mexico and that this alleged trafficking with the opposition was one of the reasons for the disagreements that culminiated In the tragic battle in Mexico City ill/ February, 1913. Incidentally it is stated in the note that "some foreign diplomats" were involved in that affair. The reply of General Carranza explains that a conference with any "conquered faction" would mean the sacrifice by Carranza f the fired chieftaincy of the army and his executive power, nnd a betrayal of the faith and confidence now reposed in him by the people and the armv. That Carranza represents the army in making such a reply is indicated in a paragraph of the note in which the dinlomats am ...in be able to observe from the answers I they received to their notes from the J military chiefs and the civil subordinates of ('9rranza that the first chief "is the only authority that could decide, and who, in fact does decide" matters submitted to them. The reply of General Carranza w as handed to John K. Sllliman. President Wilson's representative in Mexico at noon today. "Having informed Gen. Venustian.) Carranza, the first chief of the Constitutionalist army, in charge of the executive power of the union, your note which you signed in your official capacities and addressed to him under date of August la last inviting him to a conference with the chiefs of the rebel party to consider the Mexican situation and re-establish peace.
