representatives ne)ret the plan of
Guddaloupo,'under which the present
revolution has been operating, was
amended so as to prevent any military

[PEACE NEAR
N AT PRESENT
HUERTA TO RETIRE
Carranza Is Bull Headed and1
insists Upon Becoming Provis
ional President
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, July 11:?a survey of
developments In Mexico within tho
last 24 hours has convinced officials
and diplomats hore that Internal
peace is near at hand. The appoint
ment of Francisco Carbajal as minis-1
ter of foreign affairs means the re
tirement of General Huerta . as pro
visional president within a . few days,|
according to messages from the Mexi
can capital.
The capture by the constltutional
' ist? Sf Guadalajara Th n n amnhaahail 1
that the. military triumph of the rev
olution 1b inevitable. This is the tenor I
of the information reaching officiais]
hero along with the news that' per
sons prominently identified with]
the Huorta government are leaving ]
the country wit h their families; fear
ing reprisals by the constitutionalists.
Adjustment of differences between
Carranza and villa have-solidified the
constitutionalist military forces
again, but those conversant with In
ner details of tho situation claim a
much more beneficial result has en?
sued In taht a program for the hold
ing of honest elections ' and the; car
rying out of reforms now has been
drafted. .
Corranxn Is; Bnllheoded.
Coupled with the announcement I
from Torr eon o fthe results of the I
conference there, the statement of I
Carranza from tsaUiiio that he in
tends-to carry out to the letter, the I
plan of Guadeloupe was regarded aal
significant. The plan provins for |
the installation of Carranza as presi
dent ad interim of the republic .until]
and election shall1 be held.
The belief prevails in some quar
rten that Carranza would ut ay in of-]
lice until the country was pacified,
then call an election and resign inj
order to . become a'candidate.
All prospect of holding peace, con
ferences between representatives of]
Huerta and - Carranza has vanished,
according to private ' advices from |
General Carranza. There is a,possi
bility that if Francisco Carbajal suc
ceeds Huerta in Mexico Cityt th? con
stitutionalists may agree to 'send del
egates to confer with- his repr?senta
tives about terms of peace. But Car
ranza'a pronouncement at SnUtllo to-|
day and statements of bis represent
atives here, make it almost a certainty]
tha tthe only terms the constitutional
ists will offer will be the acceptance |
of the plan'of Guadeloupe.,
