Mexico City, Mex, May 15.-
Peace again Ioomed big on the
horizon Of Mexico's interior af-
4 fairs today and lead Foreign
Minister De La Barra as he
started for the national palace at
an early hour to remark: 1--WE
believe that we are making great
progress toward peace"
The minister appeared to be
happy, notwithstanding that peace
40 outlined In the proposal from
the revolutionary camp may mean
his elimination from the govern
ment.
Beyond the hopeful expression
Of De la Barra, the government
officials, as on yesterday main
tanned an impressive secrecy as to
what is going on behind the doors
Of President Diaz's cabinet room.
EI Paso, Tex, May 15.-The end
Of the revolution In Mexico seems
near. Judge carbajaI, the federal
commissioner, this morning re-
celved telegraphIe Instructions
from Mexico City to proceed with
peace negotiations along the lines
proposed by Rafael Hernandez
yesterday and carried In last
nights Associated Press dis
patches and based upon Madero's
demands. Z.
The telegram to Judge carbajai
u believed to be signed by Presi-
dent DIaz himself, and It is rumor-
ed, contains a formal acceptance
by the president Of the PROPOSE
tIons suggested.
Without doubt the formal peace
negotiations will be lmmed diateIy re.
eumed.
Shortly after the receipt Of the
message from Mexico City, Judge
carbaJaI communicated with Or.
vasquez Gomez, confidential agent
iof the Maderos and the latter was
Informed Of the receipt or 4 mes
sage and lts nature. Steps
were taken at once to resume in a
formal manner the negotiations
for peace and il now seems prob
able that before night fall repres-
entatives of the revoIutlonIsts and
Of the federal government will
take up the problem Of restoring
peace.
Juarez. Mex, May 15.-Informatio
, the insurrectos that the fedora
overnment is inclined to accept tn
roposition submitted unof1cially witt
] the last two days by the insurrecto
,r the establishment of peace were re
eived here today by Rafael Herman
ez, one Of the go-betweens in the ne
citations. The government Is be
eyed to be ready to re-organize tn
abinet and give the insurrectos fou
lembers out of eight and to allow tn
evolutionists to name outright foul
zen governors of twenty-seven state
nd by mutual agreement select the re
laining thirteen governors.
More definite advices giving the al
tude of the government are expecte
efore the day is over. Optimism o
le probable success of the peace pal
,ys now taking place by TELEGRAPH
18th Mexico City prevails today.
It is not believed that Col. Rabagc
'ho last night was reported to b
on Juarez, will provoke an
Engagement at this time, though tn
are taking no chances an,
re preparing to meet him.
Some reports have 1t that Colonel
abago, Villas and Terrazas are no
If from Chihuahua, a weeks marcl
.om here, awaiting orders. The be
ef exists that the federal govern
lent will not send him marching OF
ers in view Of probable success Of tn
resent negotiations.
Hernandez Takes a Hand.
Rafael Hernandez, who was tn
.iginal go-between when efforts frs

was not expected that plan of pre-

The propositions are somewhat dii
rent from those hitherto considered
lough similar In intent. The question
!, the resignation of President Diaz
aguely handled in the Diaz manifesto
is now felt, was amplified and ez
aimed sufficiently by Minister Limar
