Spsoial 70 the EVENING NEWS.

To TALK PEACE
IN WASHINGTON
Both Sides in Mexico Fa-
YER ths Idea.

San Antonio, Tex, May l7.-An .
fort Is being made to have representa-.
tives Of the Mexican government and
the Maderists meet In Washington
within a fortnight in negotiations for
the establishment of a stable govern
ment In. Mexico. 1t Is said America
again may appear In the part she
played when the Russo-JapaDese con
ference was brought about in Ports.
mouth.
According to a statement believed to
be authoritative, a conference is de
sired IN which both sides will be on q
parity before a tribune commanding
respect. The recent treatment of for
eigners, the holding up of trains In
which passengers regardless of their
nationality were robbed and the kill
ing of foreigners by armed bands pro
claiming themselves to be Maderists
has resulted In this first step toward o
conference on American soil. 1t is I'M
derstood the quiet work of the foreign
diplomats In the City of Mexico in the
last week has not only been alarming
to the federal government, but 1t has
also excited some comment among the
revolutionary bands who are concen-
trated in the vicinity of the Mexican
capital.
1t is more than likely the German
government will ask some explanation
from Mexico because of the killing by
revolutionary bands of two German
subjects within the last week.
I'll Paso, Tex, May 17.-Francisco l.
Madero, provisional president of Mex
tco, and Francisco Carbajal, federal
peace commissioner, both declare that
the prospects are so bright for peace
that definite results may come today.
Madero has agreed to recede from
his demand for four cabinet members
and accept three-the portfolios of
war. justice and ~gobernacion, the lat
ter meaning the control of the govern
ment of the states.
The insurrectos also get fourteen Of
the twenty-seyen governors.
Diaz only wished to concede the In
surrectos one Of the cabinet Offices and
at first held out for four. He was
willing to permit them to have the
portfolio Of gobernacion, which is now
vacant, the incumbent of which will
have more to do with restoring peace
throughout the country than any 9TH
er man. Without the ministry of war
and the portfolio of justice, however,
the insurrectos say they will be handi-
capped. The insurrectOs wish to COM
pletely overhaul the courts.
The insurrectos Immediately after
peace is declared will form a political
party to be called the Progressive"
party, and as Dor as peace is COM
pletely restored and Diaz has resigned
a national campaign will be launched,
with Francisco l. Madero undoubtedly
as a candidate for president.
Madero, although perfectly confident
of peace, declares that he is preparing
for war. He has advices now, positive,
that the federals have abandoned any
hope they might have had of attack
ing Juarez, but he Is still sending men
south and declares positively that If
peace negotiations are broken off he
will attack chihuahua. He is permit
ting repairs to be made to the Mex1-
can National railway south of here
and Will use the road to transport
troops to a point near Chihuahua.
