tional situation as affected by the
rebellion is not regarded in a par
ticuIarly optimistic light, in view
of the declarations of Finance Min
lister limantour on his return to
the capital yesterday.
There is disappointment that he
did not prove to be the bearer of
proposals from the rebels, and his
assertion that the latter must lay
down their arms in the face OF
their repeated declaration that they
will do nothing of the kind, is con-
sidered as pointing to a deadlock.
The suggestion Of the minister
that all rally to the support of
President Diaz has met with little
favor among thinking persons.
The result of Limantour's visit
to the national palace last evening
had been a1x;ous!y awaited, bat
today no reassuring word has come
from the minister and no public
statement was made regarding his
conference with President Diaz.
The officials here are silent con-
corning the outlook.

Minister Limantour's remarks in Mex
leo City, disavowing the statement that
he was the bearer of conditions for the
establishment of peace, and his refer
ence to some OF the revolutionary de-
mands as "-absurdities." creared per-
plexity among the insurrectos' leaders
here today.
1t was declared Senior Limantour's
expressions were likely to have a dis
quieting effect on the insurrectos. Sc
nor Gonzales Cara, insurrecto secre-
tary of state, expressed the hope early
in the day that further advices would
put Limantour in a much more friend
ly attitude toward the insurrectjOn.
Senior CARA declared, however, that
the insurrection would proceed as
usual, no pause in hostilities having oc-
Cured because of the reported peace
plans.
In reply to Senior Limantour's re-
marks IL was stated that Francisco J..
Madero, the insurrecto president, would
be unalterably opposed to the laying
down of arms, If any truce were called
for the consideration of peace terms, 1t
was expected it would have to be an
armed truce CourierS are now on
their way to Madero's camp bearing
tiding of Limantour's visit TO Mexico

leaders In the field, will nave but a

sion" said n prominent insurrecto.
Madero Ready to Fight.
Madero, with 1000 insurrectos ope-
rating south of Casas Grandes, Mexico,

in insurrecto circles today.
Madero is now aligning his men
with a view Of waging h bitterest
kind OF warfare If nothing comes of
the promises left by Limantour before
he departed from New York. Diaz at
Mexico City will have TO act quickly
or Madero will moi consider there is
any prospect of peace.
Several couriers bearing word to
