DIAZ'S STATEMENT ACCEPTED.
Diaz's announcement of his inten-
ton to resign is accepted with abso-
Lutte faith by the rebels. Regarding
the future policy of the Madero gov
eminent toward foreign capital in
Mexico, Senior Madero said he and his
cabinet would continue to encourage
American investments, but a vigorous
prohibition would be made against
trusts of any kind and against the
wholesale granting of concessions.
Madero has no doubt that he will be
the next regularly elected president of
Mexico and that DR.. Vasquez Gomez
will be the vice-president.
Concerping the reorganization of
the Mexican army, Senior Madero said
that all convicts hereafter will be
eliminated and the army will be COM
posed entirely of volunteers.
Madero received the details of the
happenings at Mexico City with un-
concealed pleasure. The dispatches
came too late for his perusal last
night, but he was UP at sunrise today
digesting the news. Walking beneath
a grove of trees, which fringes a
muddy irrigation ditch near the house
in which he has established his head
quarters, Senior Madero outlined the
policy he would pursue when he
reached Mexico City.
Certainly 1 will go to Mexico City
to act in harmony with Minister De La
Barra,' said Madero. There could
not be selected from the government
side q man more acceptable to us than
Senior De La Barra. The only unfa-
vorable part of the news is the init
select General Reyes for minister or
war. Reyes will not be acceptable to
us and / don't think he ever will be
minister Of war.
we realize that we have a great
task before us, but Senior De La Barra
and myself will work in perfect ac-
cord.
"Inasmuch as only twelve days will
elapse before the Diaz government re-
tires, think 1t will not be necessary
for us to- insist upon the immediate
institution into Office of our provisional
officers! The members of the cabinet
and governors who are to act until
the election will be selected by Senior
De La Barra and myself.
Lower California probably will be
the only part of Mexico which will not
be Immediately restored to tranquility.
The warfare there is apart from ours,
but we hope 1t will soon cease AS for
our army, l propose that all the insur-
rectos shall be allowed to enlist as
volunteers. All convicts hereafter will
be eliminated. Volunteers will be en-
couraged to join by offers of good pay.
"a prompt effect of peace will be the
liberation of all political prisoners and
prisoners of war. This. of course, will
embrace Americans, including those
now in the penitentiary at Chihuahua.
I'VE will continue to be wram
friends of the people of the United
States and will encourage American
investments. 1t is not true that one of
our slogans has been curb the invasion
of Americans I do not hesitate to
say, however, that we will oppose
trusts and unjust concessions.
of General Diaz / have nothing to
say. When he was at the height of
his power 1 openly opposed him. To-
day when he is down, l shall think of
him, but say nothing.
DR.. Gomez undoubtedly will be the
next vice president. In addition he
will be appointed minister of public
instruction. Doubtless in attempting
to introduce in Mexico a thoroughly
Democratic system and free elections,
we will encounter many difficulties,
hut these will be overcome. DIR. Go
mez has studied political system in
many parts of the world, and as min
lister of public instruction he will be
able to introduce some progressive
ideas.
II will send out at once instructions
to insurrecto chiefs to cease hostilities
and am sure within a few days per-
feet tranquility will have been re-
stored The surrender of the federal
government is so complete that there
is no question that can be dissatisfied"
Today was to be devoted to work on
a definite peace agreement. The pro-
visional cabinet will receive the docu-
ment drafted yesterday by Senior Ma
dero with the assistance of DR.. Vas
quez Gomez. and it probably will be
approved Later today Judge Carbajal,
it is expected, will make his first visit
to the customs house, the provisional
capitol, for a formal conference with
the rebel peace commissioners. 1t is
confidently expected by the rebels that
Carbaial will be able to sign the
agreement within two days, though
the rebel proposals will not go forth
by telegraph until today.
