MfAltb btiDlG Nt Wtnt iO IAfISs III his absence of almost two years Ma doro has come to occupy the position in the hearts of the peep which va his. Assuming that Reyes Is the man me government has in mind for tho head or Inc war office and in view of Madero's open opposition to him, it .is reasonable to assume that he will mot be acceptable.
 General Jose Gonzales saes has al- .so been suggested as minister of war While the suggestion come from the revolutionists, is not lmpossible that he might be fully acceptable to the government General Gonzales is Ia native of Chihuahua and a sen of Gonzales Porras, who was deputy for many years. General Gonzales has been given no active part in the cam paign against the rebels For many yers he was in command Of troops in the campaign against the Yaqais and now occupies the ranking position in the infantry branch of tRe depart ment of war. He has the good ~ill and respect of the army as we'll as |of the administration.
 The reservation made regarding the foreign office will probably be accept able to the reyolutionisls. At no nme has De La Barra incurred the per- sonal antagonism of the revolution ists but on the other hand he has done everything in his power to bring the two factions together If is amost entirely through his efforts that au understanding is SO near lt s con sidered here that it would be poor Ireturn for his services should the lreyolutionists insist upon the appoint ment of a new foreign minister while he is holding the delicate position of referee
 Madero may insist upon apponline without suggestion or interference from member Of the present govern ment a portion of the remaining mem. bers of the cabinet but officially and unofficially 1t is not believed here that his opposition will go that far It is not questioned that the reppu- table chiefs cf Madero, such as Am brosio Figueroa in the south and Luis Nova in inc north win obey the order of Madero to cease hostllities. On the other hand 1t is 10 be ex. pected there will be cases Of brigan- dage registered by bands who choose 10 call themselves Maderoists The government itself will not be inclined to place the blame for their opera tions upon Madero for such men as General Diaz realize better than any one else that difficulties of suppress ing such outlawry following condl. tion of war. II Is expected that those men who have distingHished them selves as officers in the Madero army will be offered the task jointly with the federal army Of re-establishina order in the rural districts.
 The scene wherein Porfiri0 Dtaz re nounced the sceptre he has welded so many years would have been pa thetic had it not been for The heroic character of the man who was its central figure In an agony of pain, relieved only by narcotics, able to ut ter but few words and these vita diffieulty, recumbent on his bed, re- linquishing his power-he was stil the dominant figure Of the council.
 Not once did he think of him- self" said senor Limantour the minister Of the treasury Every thought that he expressed was Tor tn future Of his country. He has an hon est pride, but no vanity. venture to predict that in year or two when the new order of things has been es tabished Mexico will regard him as her greatest hero. His resignation must forever silence those who could find no other criticism than that he lusted for power. He has ruled with the single hearted aim oi his countrys welfare. and he resigns for the same reason. Thronghout his
 ong administration he has never failed to listen to the best advice he could obtain. Iii this crisis, where he was most vitally concerned, next C the republic itself, he listened impar italy to hls advisors and acted wit Judicial fairness. although the deei sion went against himself"
