en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Emilio_Rabasa_Estebanell José Emilio Rabasa Estebanell (22 May 1856 — 25 April 1930) was a prominent 19th century Mexican writer, diplomat and liberal politician. He wrote extensively on Constitutional Law, served as Governor of Chiapas, as state congressman, chaired several Mexican Academies and co-founded El Universal; an influential newspaper in Mexico City.[1]

Rodriguez and Rabasa were described as "Huerta delegates at Niagara Falls" in an NYT article on June 11, 1914 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F70E12F73C5E13738... From findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3686/is_2_45/ai_n56517985/ "In an almost forgotten example of inter-American cooperation, representatives from Argentina, Brazil, and Chile (the A.B.C. powers) convened at Niagara Falls, Ontario, in 1914 to mediate the dispute arising from the Woodrow Wilson government's invasion of Veracruz during the Mexican Revolution. " and The mediation caused "prominent statesmen and journalists of the Americas, in addition to the usual honeymooners, to spend six weeks alongside this most picturesque of Canadian landmarks in the summer of 1914."
