Madero's statement. as dictated to a re-
porter for THE SUN at the same time. was
as follows:
THE peace commission came unofficialiy
and asked under what terms l would
make peace.
Il said would agree. as have already
said to DR.. Gomez. that in the interest OF
peace would resign as provisional Presi-
dent OF Mexico. but only il I consider
that the will of the people has been satis-
fed. Otherwise the revolution will con-
tinue notwithstanding any peace nego-
tiations. --'
Il know that all the people want the
retirement OF Gen. Diaz and no reelection.
For that purpose I will accept as pro-
visional President any one Of the members
OF the present Cabinet who will call a new
election.
"In case this condition is agreed upon
we want Juarez to be delivered TO us and
then an armistice will be signed
Il will wait until tomorrow evening
to hear the result OF the peace negotia-
tions which were directed by DR.. Francisco
Gomez. II by tomorrow night no answer
comes | will commence hostilities."
