Mediation Rift Deepens in Mexican Peace Talks at Niagara
Differences between American delegates and mediation plenipotentiaries at Niagara Falls threaten to derail talks on Mexico’s next government. Disputes center on provisional president neutrality and U S insistence that Huerta not name a successor, edging toward no acceptance of a peace plan. Nearby Vera Cruz fighting reports say clashes continue as federal forces fall back toward the city. Railroad lines between Mexico City and Vera Cruz are said to be endangered by Constitutionalists aiming to trap Huerta’s cabinet.
