erta has Informed the mediators that
D Emilio Rabassa, a Mexican jurist,
and Augustine Garra Gulindo, under

ed as delegates to confer with the

American representatives had not yet
been chosen.
Washington May 4. Despite ' the
refusal of Carranza, constitutionalist
chief, to declare an armistice with the
Huerta government, the South Amer
ican envoys today resumed their ses
sions, still hopeful that events of the
next three or four days would broad
en the horizon of their negotiations
to Include the "entire Mexican prob
lem. Carranza, declining the sugges
tion of a truce, asserted a suspension
of hostilities "would only accrue to
the benefit of Huerta In the civil war
now going on in Mexico between the
usurper Huerta and the constitution
alist army under my command."
With the rebel chief's reply In hand
the envoys proceeded to their task of
attempting to settle Issues between
Huerta . and the1, Washington govern
ment. Hope h&t"fcarre,nxa -follower
eventually might be brought Into the
proceedings was based upon a pros
pect for appointment of delegates of
all parties in the dispute to meet
with the mediators. First response to
the envoys' request for the naming of
delegates was seen here In some quar
ters In the ordering of ' Joaquin D.
Casasus, former Mexican ambassador,
to the United States, from Carlsbad
to Washington. While the nature of
his mission was not announced, yet It
was believed he had been chosen to
act for Huerta In the proposed con
ference. If Carranza were- to name a
delegate, hope was expressed that the
mediators might reach the broad
field of negotiations at" which they
aim.

ing in the capital that Huerta might
resign and a provisional president be
appointed with whom Carranza might
consent to treat with the object ot
facilitating mediation. Such reports
were received hero without comment.
Flint Opposition. '

truce was the first opposition the me
diators had encountered. Huerta and
the Washington government had ac
cepted the "good ufflees" of the en
voys of Argentina. Brazil-and Chile In
an attempt at mediation and. Carranza
had accepted them "In principle." Hu
erta had agreed to a truce between
his forces and those of the United
States and the constitutionalists. It
needed only the rebel chief's consent
to an armistice to bring the entire
Mexican question wltbln scope of the
envoys endeavor, carranzas note re
plying to the armistice proposal
charged that the "International con
flict with the United States waa in
tentionally provoked by Huerta." For
the solution of that Carranza stated,
I hurriedly accepted, In principle
only, the good offices of Brazil, Ar-
gentlna and Chile and which act Is In
dependent of our Internal strife for
liberty and law."
rowilbla Delegates ,
Before Huerta ordered former Am
bassador Casasus to Washington early
today, Rafael Zurbaran, Carranza's
personal agent, had arrived here. It
waa believed he would be available
as a onstltutlonallst delegate for pro
posed conferences with the mediators.
However, there had been no definite
assurances from the constitutionalist
leader that he would name such a
representative
As to C. S. Delegate)
The South American envoys plann

the Mexican crisis decided to appoint
delegates, Immediately to taks up the
pressing Issues between Huerta and
the United State As their program
developed, It was believed, they would
attempt to learn how far tha con
tending Mexican forces might agree
to diplomatic measures te bring about
peace. K delegates to represent the
United States at the conference had
not bnen doelded upon tdday but It
was known that no man closely Iden
