Hint the Pan-American envoys did
not acquiesce in the president's nro-
grain as readily as was expected during
tho conferences lust week is an onon
secret. Tho conferees were divided al
most hopelessly on two points. The
United Htntes is determined that the
"riontificos" shall have no voice in
the establishment of a new government
in Mexico. That American interven- .
tion bo held over the warrinur faction
as nn alternative to their getting to-
K-uur ior peaco is also deemed in.li
pensablo by the administration.
Some of the South American envnvs
believe the riontifioti fuction should be ,
consulted and all are firm in their op
position to Intervention under any cir
cumstiincos. The news that (lenoral Onrrnnza had
hnndo.1 Minister OrtegO of (lautemalu
his passports ami given him 21 hours in
which to lenvo the country was regard
ed lis an unfavorable development to
day. The ordering of Minister Ortego
from the country is believed to have
resulted from the failure of Cnrrnnn tn
induce the Guatemalan minister in
YViishington to support him in the con
ference with Hoere.tury of Stute Lans
ing. Returning hero today Secretary of
Mate Lansing denied thut ho discussed

financial support to the proposed now
Mexican government with Secretary of
I ho Treasury McAdoo in New York
yesterday. His denial was accepted at
its full value an it is not believed the
program litis progressed that far.
