Saltillo, August 3, 1914, 6 p.m..

At a second preliminary conference this afternoon the envoys submitted six conditions from the Government at Mexico City and also said that they were not authorized to make unconditional surrender. In consequence the hope of any settlement here has completely disappeared and the campaign will most actively continue.
