Juarez, Mex, May 16.-peGce the
fervent hope of rebelion-torn Mexico.
tonight is almost an accomplished
fact. Judge C9rbaial tNo federal
peace envoy, has announced that bar
ring the unforeseen, general armis-
tice will be declared within twenty
four hours. Provisional President
Francisco |. Madero, Jr., has dceiar-
ed that mutually acceptable PROPOSE
tlons nave at last been reached and
peace is assured.
The formal signing of a peace agree
ment win take place here within the
next two days. President Diaz prob
ably will resign within two or three
months. at any rate when peace Is
completely restored. The principal
questions have practically been agreed
upon-the number of cabinet mem
bers and governors to be allowed the
insurrectos-but the other conditions
have for some time been tacitly de-
termined by both sides and now 1t will
be merely q matter of technical de-
tail to draft them satisfactory and ar
range modus operandi for the dis
charge of their provisions.
The price of peace paid by the fed
efal government is three cabinet port
folios and fourteen governorshlps. The
price paid by the Mexican people is
at least a thousand lives, untold suf-
fering to other thousands of wounded.
the destruction Of uncounted millions
in property and the probability that
starvation for many months will
haunt the inhabitants of possibly
fourth of the republic.
I'D to O'Clock tonight the govern
ment had practically acceded to the
insurrecto demand for three cabinet
portfolios, those of war, justice and
gobernacion, and word was being
awaited from Mexico City as to the
exact number of governorships to be
allowed the rebels. Last night the gov
ernment offered ten; on other occas-
ions, the government is believed to
have been inclined to give fourteen.
Thre is little doubt that fourteen will
be the final number The cabinet
portfolios it is said probably will be
iilled as follows
Minister of war-General Gonzales
Saaz
Minister of justice-Senor Vasquez
Tagle.
Minister of gobernacion-Dr. Fran
cisco Vasquez Gomez
As far as the sovernorships are
concerned, the insurrectos have prac-
tically decided on their men for the
largest and most important of the
states as follows:
Chihuahua-Abraham Gonzales.
Sonora-Senor Cayon.
Sinaloa--Manuel Bonilla.
Yucatan-Jose Pine Suarez.
Xacatecas-Guadalupe Gonzales.
Coahuila-Venustian Carranza.
In the selection of General Coma
les Salaz for the post of minister OF
war and Senior Vasquez Tagle Tor
minister OF justice, the rebels nave
chosen two men who have not taken
Huy active part in the revolution. In
fact, General Salez is one of the fore
most figures in the Mexican army. In
DIR. Vasques Gomez who has Deen ac-
tive n the revolution and VINO is to
be minister of gobernacion, the revo-
lutionists will have man who Is

In the latter post, DR.. Gomez Will
