UNCERTAINTY IN MEXICO.

doubts as TO the Outcome Should biaz

-Insurrectos iIate and Mist-eat Their
Leaders.
Mexico City, May 1s.-Whether the
promise CT President Diaz and Vice
President Corral to resign before June
/ has come in time to restore peace
the country is the most
important question under consideration
here today. Many close students OF
Mexican affairs doubt it.
Madero and bis followers, aud prob
ably the iDsurrec,os in the north, are
willing to lay down their arms, as they
have gained by the surrender OF the
government everything they have beeD
lighting for But the entire south is
afianleThe states of Guerrero. More
los, Chiapas, and most Of the south
are hotbebs ofIre7olution. Thousands
3t iusurrectos are under arms there
These men hate aud distrust their lead
ers. They have their own gtia7ances,
growing out Of the oppression OF the
state governors, and whether they will
be willing to subscribe to the peace
terms offered By the Dia5 gorernmeut
IS grave question.
