vention Of American troops. He also
said that President Diaz would re
sign within a few months.
There will be a peace conference

tives of the Mexican government
Francisco Madero, ST.. Alfonso Ma
dero and Gustave Madero will be the
representatives Of the revolutionary
party at this conference, it was said
at the revolutionary junta.
This is part of the program Of
Cancellation that Francisco Madero
outlined as the basis Of the reconcilia-
ton between the revolutiOnists and
the federal government:
There will be no armistice between
the Maderoists in the field and the fed
eral troops opposing them during the
time that whatever negotiations now
contemplated may be in the making.
Under no conditions will the reb-
els lay down their arms. They will
simply guarantee TO disperse upon the
conclusion Of final treaty, each man
carrying his arms to his home.

ditions established before the revolu-
tion shall come to an end.
Francisco Madero. Sr, said that
President Diaz would probably con-
tinue to hold his Office for a few
months longer while some reforms
agreed to by the new cabinet are be-
ing put in force.
In the meantime, said Senor Ma
dero, the resignation of Vice Presi-
dent Corral will be received by the
Mexican congress shortly after it
meets next Saturday. This, he said,
will leave Senior de la Barra, as min
lister OF foreign affairs, next in line
for the presidency, but Senor de la
Barra and the Mexican congress will /
take steps to have another election |
for president held.
