This proposal Is favorably regarded by ('resident Wilson and will form a basis for further negotiations. The proposals of the I'nlted States as outlined Tuesday Include the sur render of the government by Huerta with no withdrawal of the military forces of the United States from Mexico until after an election. It Is expected that Huerta mill meet the de mand that be abdicate by suggesting the delegation of his power to a man of his own choosing. Agents of Argentina, llrazll.
