GENERAL CARRANZA SAYS j
THAT HE MUST BE
REPRESENTED
AT LAST RECEIVED)
Leader of the Constitutionalist*
Expresses Surprise That Medi
ation is Underway
(Hy Associated PresH)
Niagara Fulls. Ont.. .May ?H. - Coll
sldcration or au agreement between
the Huerta government timi the tinn
ed States was Interrupted temporarily
today when Juan F. I'rqttldi, a repre
sentative of Genera] Carranza laid be
fore the South American envoys a
note expressing surprise that the
mediation negotiations were contin
uing with the constitutionalists un
repieserjtcd.
After a long debate the mediators
decided not to permit I'ruuidi to pre
se"' iba communication. Then, after
a conference with the American dele
gates the mediators admitted the Car
ranza emissary. Th?, following state
ment was iaeued by the envoys: .
"The mediators have received a [
communication ff**T - rcpicaemaiive
or (Jetterai Carranza, the tenor of
which differs entirely from the Ver
sion contained in a news dispatch this
morning from Durango and does not
disturb the course of the negotiations."
Whether answer will be made to
General Carranza or his representative
in Washington is not known outside of
the diplomatic tribunal. The mediat
ors refused to answer questions on the
subject Attaches, however, reiterat
ed that the proceedings could be re
opened with a constitutionalists pres
ent only if General Carranza agreed
to a suspension of hostilities.
During the afternoon the mediators
conferred among- themselves and the
word was passed around generally
that the communication would not be
accepted. Finally the American dele
gates come over to the Canadian side.
Tliey talked for more than an hour,
then Urquldl was summoned. Minister
Noan accompanied the note on bchair
of the envoys and Mr. Urquldl was
dismissed.
The document was signed by Rafael
Zubarnn Captnaay, minister of inter
ior in the constitutionalist cabinet,
who ls In Washington. It was writ
ten on explicit instructions from- Gen
eral 'Carranza. The Oi.gluai instruct"
tlons to the minister ure conislned
in the following message published
trom Durango today;
Six days ugo conferences begun to
treat the international conflict between
the United States and Mexico occa
sioned by the arrest of severul Am
erican tailors by soldiers of Huerta
at Tampico. To solve thfk conflict
you offered to the government of the
United States to Huerta and to me,
your good offices Inviting me tb appoint
delegates who would represent the
general headquarters of the Consti
tutionalist anny which is under, my
orders.
1 answered you that in principie I
would accept your good offices and
later in n separate message I asked
answer to th s dispatch. I have receiv
the points which would be dcaR with
in the peace conference. Awaiting an
answer to the dispatch I have not re
ceived. I named delegates.
I am surprised that you have con
tinued to treat for solutlou of the con
flict between the United States and
Mexico without representation from
the Constitutionalist army which is
under' my orders and represents the
largest force of the republic.
For this reason I state to you that
? believe tho conflict between the Uni
ted States and Mexico ought to be
solved lu future conferences Unless in
these conferences there is represent
ed the general headquarters of the con
stitutionalist army.
The note Urquidi delivered reite
rates General Carranza'* previous po
?ltion that he alway." has been wil
ing to Bend representatives to dis
euse International questions.
. It was suggested in some quarters
tonight that the final agreement might
not he approved by the United States
until the Constitutionalists were auto
brought wlth'ng the scope of medi
ation program.
The arrival of the Carranza emis
sary, regarded with evident satisfac
tion by the American delegates. They
are understood to be anxious that ne
gotiations be reopened to admit Car
ranza delegates to the mediation con
ference.
Progress of the agreement between
thc United States and Huerta Gov
ernment war slow today.
