 Diaz and Vice President Corral will re-
 sign before June l.
 Minister of Foreign Relations de la Barra will become president ad interim. l Francisco L Madero. the revolutionary ! leader, will be called to Mexico City
 to act as de la Barra's chief adviser and as the greatest guaranty possible that every pledge made by the govern ment will be carried out As viewed
 by the public it would be virtually a joint presidency, pending a new elec- | tion
 The cabinet will be reorganized. The minister of war will be named by de- la Barra. The foreign office will be in charge of a secretary to be named | by him. Other cabinet members will be chosen by him and Madero jointly. A new election will be called within six months. Political amnesty will be recommended by the chamber of depu- ties
 These are the conditions upon which President Diaz will compromise. Vir- tually they are admitted in high quar- ters to be a complete surrender 10 the revolutionists.
 The resignation of Diaz and the joint regency" of de la Barra and Madero are said to continue a guaran- ty so complete that the original in- surrecto demand for fourteen govern ors will no longer be considered
 The cabinet has been in almost con tinbous session for two days, despite the severe illness of Diaz The presi- dents entire face is infected by an ulcerated tooth. The upper lip isl swollen far beyond the normal size and the face is inflamed. He showed fever yesterday, but this symptom was eliminated today.
 The governments conditions were telegraphed to Judge Carbajal this afternoon with instructions to submit them to MaderO. Inasmuch as the government believes it has made ev- cry concession the revolutionists re- quested, it is firmly believed that peace will follow.
 The public received the announce ment of Diaz's intention to resign with profound satisfaction. Since the battle of Juarez they realized that the presidents renunciation of his high office alone would bring peace. Business throughout the re- public has suffered severely and the people are generally eager for an honorable peace.
 It is suggested that in the condi- tions there is one point over which a quibble may occur, that regarding the selection of a minister of war. The selection is left entirely to de Ia Barra. He must, according to the agreement of the ministers and president, name "a general who has the good will and respect of the army"
 Many people see in this an intima- tiOn that General Bernardo Reyes would be the choice. At the time Reyes left Mexico, it is safe to say, there was no man in the army to whom this description applied better than to him. It remains to be seen, however. if he retains the good will and respect of the army.
 The scene wherein Porfirio DiaZ renounced the sceptre he has wielded for so many years would have been pathetic had it not been for the heroic character of the man who IS it's central figure. In much pain, relieved by narcotics, able to utter but a few words and these with diff ficulty. recumbent on his bed and relinquishing his power-he was still the dominant figure in the coun- cil
 Not once did he think of himself said Limantour. Every thought ne expressed was for the future or ms country. He has an honest prlde but no vanity I venture to predict that in a year or two when new order of things has been established, Mexico will regard him as its great est hero.
 "This resignation must forever silence those who could find no other criticism than that he lusted for power. He ruled with single hearted aim for his countrys welfare and he resigns for the same reason. Through | out his long administration he has never failed to listen to the best ad- vice he could obtain.
 Tn this crisis. where he was most | vitally concerned. next to the repub- lie itself. he listened impartially to his advisors and acted with judicial fair
