 IN MEXICO

 TONS WITH PRESIDENT.
"Diaz Must Relinquish All Power and Order New Election" Is the Stand Taken by the Insurrectos-In-
 teresting Developments.

| El Paso, Tex, March 20.---An arm ed truce will be established in north ern Mexico as soon as the develop ments in Mexico City warrant and Francisco l. Maderc, the revolution ary president, will establish himself at point in the field to be consid- erer neutral ground, there to receive any peace proposals that may come as a result of the visit to the Mexican capital of Jose Yves Limantour, min ister of finance, who recently had con ferences with insurrecto leaders in New York.
 This was established today in mes sages brought by courier from Made TO, who is within 150 miles south of here in camp with 1000 men. It IS the first word coming direct from .da- dero since the beginning of the peace negotiations which are supposed .o have been under way in the United tates for more than a week. l The contents of Madero's messages ato the revolutionary junta here were not made public but the term "as socn as developments in Mexico City warrant" was explained as meaning that Madero would insist on import ant stipulations before peace arrange ments might be entered into. The stipuations it was stated were as fol- | lows:
 President Diaz must step aside and must relinquish all the political pow CT which might result in his return to office. after peace terms are conclud- ed
 "A new election for president must be called at once with a free ballot for every male child of age.
 The promises for reforms in the land laws and in the administration of states by popular vote instead ot by federal control must be under such conditions that they cannot be ignored after peace has been declared.
 The insurrectcs will not hay down their arms, but will maintain an arm ed truce until the reforms are so far advanced that cannot be revoked Whether Senor Limantour would be acceptable to Madero as ''provis- ional president pending negotiations is not known, for couriers bearing the suggestion from New York that Limantcur might become the temper ary head of the government have not yet reached Madero. Ever since the peace proposals were under wag, messengers have been sent with full details to Madero, but as the couriers have to travel by horseback over the rough country and in circuitous routes Ito avoid federal soldiers communica ticn is delayed four or five days.
 However, Senor Gonzales Garza, tae insurrecto secretary of state, who carries on communication with Made TO and was his advisor in starting the revolution said today:
 .'Limantour would not be entirely acceptable to us. We look upon him as the chief of the Diaz coterie. We wouldn't under any circumstances take his word and lay down our arms. As provisional president, he simply would carry out the instructions Q! Diaz"
 A telegram from Gustavo Madero the insurrecto financial agent in New York, was received by ESenor Garza stating:
 Have had several conferences with (.imantour. He has promised a full change of politics in Mexico The belief that Limantour was all thorized by Diaz to open up way fol peace has caused much joy among the Iinsurrectos. It Is looked upon by them as virtual recognition by the Mex ican government that the demands q the insurrectos have some founda tion by the Mexican government tha the demands of the insurrectos have some foundation.
 Whatever overtures for peace hay, lbeen made have come from Diaz, said Senor Garza Tt is the first tim' Diaz has ever admitted that the in surrectos have any justice in thei claims. Francisco I. Madeso has beer fulIy adyiaed as to what is going on His messages to us have not taIkel Iimantour inzs osnsIderation, becaus1
