March promises to make a better
showing than February did in govern
ment finances. Receipts from all
sources are keeping pace with Febru-
airy and the expenditures have been
fully 81, 200, 900 less, in spite of the
fact that advances to the army to
date arc 5 100000 more than last
month. Panama canal expenses to
date, however, have been only about
$1,000, 900, and while February showed
q deficit on all accounts of more than
$4,000, 600. that figure for March is a
1ittle more than $1,000, 900.

Mexico City, Mexico.-Coincident

Mr.. Zacamacona r. Inclan is the

don, where he has beer stationed for
the past two years. Mr.. Inclan was
said to have already received notice
of his appointment by cable and to
nave left London for Washington. The
retirement of the cabinet members has
given rise to many rumors of further
official posts to be vacated. which have
not excepted that of General Diaz him
self.
That Vice President Corral will ask
for and receive 4 leave of absence for
a long term, if he Toes not in fact pre-
sent his resignation to at it's
opening on April !, was regarded as
well substantiated. For the report
that General Diaz contemplated sur
rendering the presidency, however, no
foundation could be found.
Insurrectos Recognizing.
FL Paso, March 2S.-The insurrectos
are reorganizing their forces. drilling
their men, providing them with ample
ammunition and distributing stores
with a view of carrying on the war to
a decisive issue. No attention what
ever is being paid to the so-called ov-
ertures for peae. Madero is anxious
to show the widespread extent Of the
revolution and thus to win recognition
Of belligerency from all nations.
This Information was given out by
the revolutionary junta here as com
ing from Francisco l.. Madero. the
president Of the insurrectos. 1t was
stated that Madero in recent mes
sages to the junta was eager to OBJ
tain from foreign governments an of
fetal recognition that a state Of war
existed in Mexico. One object, it was
pointed out, was that in the event the
insurrectos captured a border town it
would obviate complications with a
foreign country by enabling them to
appoint provisional consular agents.
