 Minister of foreign relations De La Barra will become president interim.
 Francisco L Madero, the revou- tionary leader, will lie called to the City of Mexico to act as De La Bar ra's chief advisor and as the greatest guarantee possible that every pledge made by the government will be car ried out.
 As viewed by the public it will be virtually a joint presidency, pending the calling of new presidential elec ton.
 The cabinet will be reorganized. The minister of war will be named by De La Barra. Other cabinet members will be chosen by De La Barra and Madarn aofino {oirtt.
 A new election will he cal ed with in six months
 | Political amesty will he recon mended to the chamber of deputies
 These are the conditions upon which President Diaz VIII compro- mise.
 Virtually they are admitted in high quarters to be complete surrender to the revolutionists.
 The resignation of Diaz and the joint regency" of De La Barra ana Madero are said to constitute a guar antee so complete that the original insurrecto demand for fourteen gov ernors no longer needs to be consid- cred.
 The cabinet was in almost continn- ous session for two days. despite the severe Illness of President Diaz. The presidents entire face is infected from an uicerated tooth. His upper lip is swollen far beyond it's normal size and his face is inflamed. He showed fever yesterday but this symptom was eliminated today. lie speaks with the greatest difficulty but while he is in severe pain, his condition is not regarded as ealing for alarm at this time, despite his advanced age. The government conditions were telegraphed to Judge Carbajal this afternoon with instructions to submit them to General Madero. If they are accepted, which is regarded as cer- tain an armistice covering the entire republic will be signed Inasmuch as the government believes it has made ieyery concession that the revolution ists have requested, it is firmly be- lieved that treaty of peace will fol- | low.
 | Without abating one jot their ad miration for the man who has made modern Mexico, the public received the announcement of his intended resignation with profound satisfaction. Since the battle of Jaurez they have realized that the presidents renun- ciation of his high office alone could bring about peace. Business throug- out the republic has suffered severely and the people generally were eager for an honorable peace.
