Peaceful settlement likely in Mexican peace talks at Niagara Falls
Delegates from the United States and Huerta’s government signed the first protocol aimed at transferring executive power to a provisional authority in Mexico. The pact omits a named provisional president and leaves open the constitutional representation, while signaling US preference to erase Huerta from power and pave a pacified transition. Mediators expect armistice terms to include Carranza later.
