BRITISH APPROVE OF
ARBITRATION PLANS

London, March 20.-Sentiment in the
United Kingdom is almost absolutely
solid in backing up Sir Edward Grey's
virtual invitation to the. United States
to propose-in the language of Mr..
Taft, before the American Society for
the judicial settlement of interna-
tional disputes-the enactment of a
London Washington treaty ito abide
the adjudication of an international
arbitral court in every issue that can
not be settled by arbitration"
Obstacle Removed.
Among the strongest arguments
used to justify serious attempt to
make such treaty now is the theory
that the American senate, which de.
feated the Olney-Pauncefote proposals
in 1897 partly because of Irish-Amer-
lean agitation and partly because the
senate wished to assert it's authority
against the executive and state de.
partment, would not have the former
obstacle to overcome, inasmuch as all
Irish-Americans are well wishers OF
the Asquith- Grey administration.
e An Old Plan.
To carry out Mr.. Taft's idea, it is
argued. would be only to resume the
negotiations of nearly fourteen years
ago and to make suitable modiflca-
tons in an instrument that the Lon
don government has always been ready
to sign and that commended itself to
Mr. Cleveland, the statesman who had
challenged us with the Venezuela mes
sage.
A Great Plan.
AS the court of arbitrai justice sug-
gested by Mr.. Taft would base it's de-
cisions not upon compromise, but upon
principles of law and equity, it would
be-, thinks a weekend review, the
most important and beneficial
achievement of the twentieth century,
short of universal disarmament.

Mexican insurgents and their so-called
president, is concentrating his forces

couriers 5usy.
Couriers bearing messages from Ma
dero to the agents of the revolution
airy movement in New York and
Washington have arrived direct from
the insurrecto camp. The messages
were in response to information which
had been conveyed to Madero con-
corning supposed preliminary peace
negotiations which Senior LimantOur,
the Mexican Minister of Finance, is
now thought to be bearing to Mexico
City.
MaderO has not been made &C.
quainted with developments in the
last two or three days. as it requires
about a week for courier to reach
MIN and return.
No Concessions.
Asked if Madero would be willing
to make any concessions in the de-
mands of the insurrectos, Senior Con
zales F. Cara, the insurrecto secre-
tary of state, replied:
Absolutely none. It is folly for
Diaz to talk about peace and at the
same time say he intends to remain
in power"
From Brauilo Hernandez, insurrecto
secretary of state of Chihuahua, it
was learned Madero plans to establish
a capital" if possible, in Casas Gran
des, the scene of the insurrecto de-
feat of March 6.

stopping the war on the suggestion Of
possible peace"

Ell Paso, March 18.-Before any pro
posals for termination of the Next
can Instruction will be entered into
by the insurrectos, President Dia1
must agree to declare null his cleo
ton of 1910 and must agree to sub
NIT to new election under the terms
of free ballot allowed by the con
|stitution of 1857. He must agree te
grant all the political reforms de
manded.
The insurrectos must not be re
quired to surrender their arms until
peace is assured. This is the reply
|of Senior Gonzales Cara, the insur
recto secretary of state, to the state
ment from Senior Limantour, the Mex
lean Minister of Finance, that he had
formulated tentative plans for end
ing the instruction. and in effect II
is the reply of Francisco I. Madero
the revolutionary leader, who is now
fighting in the field.
Madero's Consent Essential.
Senior Cara has been in communi
cation with Madero and has acuuaint
ed Madero with whatever negotiations
have been carried on in Washington
and New York looking to a settle
ment. Francisco Madero is looked
upon as the revolutionary president
and as representing the will of the
insurrectos, and no peace plans will
be entered into until he has given his
consent and fully gone over the de
tails, Senior Cara said.
Madero is about 100 miles south OF
Ell Paso, surrounded by about 1000 Of
his followers. He is reported to be
coming northward. to be joined en-
route by Gen. Orozco with 500 men
Whether his destination is the from
tier In connection with any peace ne
gotiations is not known.
Haro 20 Reach Madero.
Communication with Madero has
been difficult, 1t requiring three OF
four days for courier to reach him
President Madero is the only man
authorized to conclude any armistice,'
said Senior Cara. HE holds his au,
thority because he represents the viii
of the people. DR.. Francisco Vasquez

lily would be able to suggest q plan.
