Niagara Falls, Ontario—~—Terms for
composing all international differences
between the United States and Mexico
have been concluded.
The conditions under which diplo-
matic relations will be resumed were
embodied in a protocol, which was
signed by the Ambassador from Brazil,
the Ministers of Chile and Argentina
and the American and Huerta dele-
gates,
The character of the settlement is
not expected to arouse opposition from
the Constitutionalists, who will par
ticipate in and to a large degree mold
the adjustment of all internal dis
putes.

CUSSED THE PRESIDENT.
Golfer He Just Missed Hitting Profuse |
in Apologies.
Washington, D. C.—The story of how |
President Wilson, golfing on a local |
green, sent a ball whizzing near an- |
other golfer’s head, and how the other |
fellow roundly “‘cussed” the President
of the United States, and then, in con-
fugion and chagrin, made profuse |
apologies, had a sequel Wednesday,
when President Wilson and the golfer |
exchanged letters, one an ablect
apology and the other an acknowledg
ment coupled with a firm declaration |
from the President that he was within
hig rights under the rules of the game
i
TO CUT POSTAL FORCE.
When a new provisional government |
is established to succeed that headed |
by General Huerta, the result of media-
tion, recognized as a triumph for Pan- |
American diplomacy, will become ef-|
fective. la
Factions To Settle Personnel. »
Coincidentally with the action it was |
announced that the actual selection of
a Provisiodal President and the organ:
ization of the new government, which
is considered a purely internal prob
lem, will be left to an informal confer |
ence of representatives of the Consti-
tutionalists — Luis Cabrera, Rafel |
Zubaran and Jose Vasconcelos—and |
the delegates sent by General Huerta |
to the mediation conference. i
What Protocol Provides.
The single outstanding proviso in|
the protocol is that the international |
problems shall be declared adjusted on |
the establishment of the new Provi
gional Government. The gets
forth:
“That the United States and Argen
tina, Brazil and Chile, the mediating
countries, shall recognize the new pro
protocol
forth diplomatic relations between the
Ur
sumed. me
“That the United States demands no |
indemnity and does not fufther exact!
satisfaction for any of the incidents
connected with the patrol of Mexican |
waters and invasion of the country |
“That a commission shall be ap |
pointed to adjust private claims grow- |
ing out of the revolution and interna-
tional incidents.” i
The protocol was drafted early today
and its phraseology telegraphed to
Washington for approval
At 9 o'clock tonight word came from |
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan |
authorizing the American delegates to |
gign It. The Mexican delegation had |
not expected so prompt a response.
Now Up To Warring Factions.
The results of the mediators’ work |
places the issue now squarely before |
the representatives of the two warring
factions. On them will rest the re
sponsibility for failure or as of |
the peace plans as a whole. The |
mediators aud Ameiican delegates will |
stand by to lend a helping band and |
give their counsel when sought.
It is believed that Villa is in|
thorough accord with the proposition. |
teliable information has come that he |
is ready to accept the result of the |
conferences,
Da Gama Gives Out Statement.
At the close of the conference Am-|
bassador da Gama gave out a state |
ment embracing the protocols. He |
announced that three articles of the |
peace plan had been protocolized and |
that these related only to the interna- |
tional side of the Mexican problem.
“We deem it advisable,” he said,
invite the Constitutionalist party to|
send delegates to discuss with the
Mexican delegates the internal aspects |
of the problem.”
The protocols signed are as follows:
Article ~The provisional govern
ment referred to in protocol No. § shall
be constituted by agreement of the
felegates representing the parties be
tween which the Internal struggle In
Mexico is taking place.
Article Il—(a)~Upon the constitu-

of the United States of America will

opon diplomatic relations between the

(B) The Government of the United
