FL Paso, Tex, March 22.-Opinion
among Mexican insurrecto leaders
over the interview of Senior Lman-
tour in Mexico City is about equally
divided between keen disappointment
and hope that Limantour still has
plans which he has not been at lib
erty to make public. While the
views OF the Mexican minister of fl
nance were regarded as being adverse
to any possibility OF immediate peace,
It was still hoped that after confer
onces with President Diaz some plan
for granting sufficient reforms would
be announced
On one point the insurrecto lead
ers said they were unalterably deter
mined-they would not lay down their
arms during peace negotiations and
II there was to be any truce, 1t would
be an armed truce"
This was the view of Gonzales Gar
cia the insurrecto secretary of state,
OF Brulio Hernando the insurrecto
secretary of Chihuahua state, and II
was said by them to be the emphatic
view of Francisco |. Madero, the revo-
lutionary president.
The insurrecto leaders made no at
tempt to conceal their disappointment

taken from Limantour's failure. while

ports that tentative proposals had
been drawn up. and II was confident

for radical reforms.
Senior Cara said:

Diaz OF the seriousness of the revo-
luton. II appears the war will now
go on with more bitterness than be-
fore.
For n time the government felt we
were making rapid progress. Liman-
tour sought to allay our activity by
tacitly giving out the impression that
reforms We're to be granted. 1t ap-
pears to have been ruse. I am GER
tain when Madero. who is now $50
miles in the mountains, hears OF 1t,
he will retaliate more vigorously than
might be believed.
"In his interview Senior Limantour
contradicts himself In Paris he said
he recognized the reasonableness OF
the demands OF his people. Now he
states deferentially that we have nc
reason on our side at all, and that
our demands. such as the maintaining
OF arms while peace plans are con-
sidered, are an absurdity. Our de-
mands were all put before the govern
ment before we took up arms. The
doors were closed to US and we ap.
pealed to deaf ears. It is obviou:
that II we laid down our arms our
