Washington, May 25.-Cabinet mem

dent Wilson and the American com
missioners to the/ Niagdra Kalla Mex
ican mediation conference
lt was declared that negotiations
had progressed so far that a prelim
inary .basis for peaceful solution of
International difficulties had been
reached. This, it wa* s*M, soon would
take the form of n protocol which
probably would be signed hy agenta
of General Huerta's government and

a protocol. . V ,

no evidences of apprehension.
Failure.thua far of the constitution
alists to indicate a willingness to par* !

official circles. Some of the Carran-,

that some representatives eventually
