Delegates Agree On Mexican Plan
American and Mexican mediators reach a complete plan for pacifying Mexico. A provisional president and four cabinet ministers would lead, with elections to follow for president, vice president, and congress. Four ministers would head foreign relations, finance, war, and interior, with other departments under subSecretaries. Huerta approves main points, interest of constitutionalists kept in mind. Open questions remain about electoral details and constitutional representation.
