Washington, D. G. April 22.-Dr.
! Gomez. confidential agent of the
Mexican revolutionists, today re
ceiyed a telegram from Francisco L.
Madero. Jr., authorizing him to be,
gin negotiations with the Mexican
/ government for an immediate armis-
| tice. The agreement was Immediate
ly telegraphed to Senor De La Bar
ra minister of foreign affairs at Mex
| leo City, with whom Gomez has been
in constant communication the last
few days. DR.. Gomez is jubilant this
morning and declared that Mexico is
now on the road to peace He wired
General Madero to send him complete
! instructions not only for an armis-
tice, but for peace conferences to fol
low. DR.. Gomez declared to the AS
sCciated Press representative, that
negotiations for peace probably will
be along the same lines as the con-
ferences held with Senior Limantour
and Senor De La Barra, when they
were in the United States. He said
that it is very likely that he will go
to Juarez in a short time, but prelim-
mary arrangements will be made
! with the Mexican government from
Washington. The Mexican ambassa-
dor Zeamachona. was elated when he
| heard that an armistice had been
agreed to by Madero. He seemed
very confident that the disturbances
in Mexico will soon come to an end.
The sudden change in the attitude Of
General Madero, who until late last
night, was obdurate against both an
armistice and the peace proposals
was explained here by the fact that
DR.. Gomez in numerous messages the
last "a hours pointed out the compli-
cations that had arisen between the
United States and Mexico, over Incl
cents on the border.
Optimism Prevails.
Washington, April 22-Dr. Gomez
! believes that American intervention
was not an impossibility and hastened
| to demonstrate with the rebel leaders
: against any repet ton along the Dor.
| der of such incidents as occurred at
Douglas. He had received assurances
from the Mexican government that
1t is disposed to consider any pro
posals the insurgents will formally
submit and it's effort will be to ad
just the various differences out oil
which the rebellion arose, indicating
its earnestness to begin a systematic
reformation of present conditions in
Mexico. The belief is general here
that Mexico will quickly agree to al
armistice, although action by tn;
government may be taken unofficial
ly' in order to avoid public recogni
: ton of the insurrectos.
Armies Face Each other.
Ell Paso, Texas, April 22.-Dawr
today found both armies resting with
. in rife shot of each other. Each sid
! had its cannon in position and thu
soldiers were keeping close to thei
rifles. The insurrectos occupy tn
mountain range in a crescent shap
about the city. The hills and guile
are full of dirty, unkempt, half-clat
men, carrying arms of every descriI
tion and wearing clothes equally cor
glomerate in character They then
selves wash their meagre clothing a

more Americans are performing thi
task than MeXicans. The latter ar
