matters had gone too rar and that
,ie must ellmnate himself.
Tho mediators were awaiting Gen
eral Carranza's final reply to their
request for an armistice, which ho
has thus far refused. It was reported
with much detail that tho adminis
tration has urged General Villa to
strike at once at Saltlllo and Tarn
pIco, taking them. If possible, before
mediation can interfcro with his
campaign.
An Aid to Kcbcls
Such a victory, It was said, would
have the moral effect of aiding tho
rebels greatly, and by giving them a
seaport, would place them In a posi
tion to ask for recognition of their
belligerency. Government officials
would not discuss this report out
they were at pains to emphasize thn
friendliness which existed between
the administration and the constltu
tlonallsts.
Tho mediators had, however, as
surances from both Washington and
Mexico City that the armistice was
agreed to. Secrctary nryan was
hopeful. He admitted that ho had
called his Florida vacation off hut
said he hoped to get away rroni the
capital for a few days rest late In the
summer,
Tho mediators wero In conference
all night.
