Rebels Want LimantOur
Kept as Finance Head,
But Freed of Politics

Senor Limantour, present minister of
finance of Mexico, will be retained in
the federal cabinet after plans for a
reorganization of the government have
been arranged by the peace conferees,
who are today expected to conclude ne
gotiations between the revolutionists
and the Diaz representatives.
The plan to retain Senior Limantour
originated with the revolutionists. 1t
was pointed out today by Washington
representatives of the MaderIsts that,
while they are very anxious Limantour
should remain as minister Of finance be-
cause of his marked ability, they want
him to be shorn completely of any po-
ltical power. They fear that unless
the precautionary measure of giving him
no political power is taken. he will at
tempt TO thwart the revolutionists in
their plans for governmental changes.
With the announcement regarding Lii
mantour today comes a denial that
Guatemala has stationed 5000 troops
along the Mexican frontier. DR.. Ramon
Bengoecha, charge d'affaireS of the
Guatemalan legation, today received a
telegram from his government branding
as absolutely false the report of 5000
troops being stationed anywhere near
the Mexican border line"

Chance for Peace
Depends on Diaz's
Willingness to Quit

Ell PASO, Tex, May 5.-The chances
Of restoring peace to Mexico today de-
pend upon President Diaz, as the re-
suit of the statement presented to Judge
arbaial, the Diaz peace envoy, de-
manding an immediate guarantee from
Diaz that he will retire from the presi-
dency.
Judge Carbajal forwarded to the fed
eral government at Mexico City Fran
cisco Maderos statement demanding
that Diaz make public the private as
SuranCes that he would retire as soon
as peace is restored. 1t also edmands the
resignation of Vice President Corral, and
the temporary installation of Foreign
Minister de la Barra as President, 1t
is reported DiaZ is willing to retire. but
wants to wait six months, to which pIan
the insurgent leaders refuse to agree.
A movement to incorporate the entire
MaderO army in the mounted rlIrale
forces of Mexico has been considered bv
the men at the head of the insurrecto
commands. IT,.
The Madero soldiers are loyal to their
leaders. Giyen a command of 5000 of
these campaigners under Pascal Orozco,
Jose de la Luz Blanco, Pancho Villa. or
Garibaldi, Mexico would have a fighting
force ready and able to cope with any
outbreak in the northern states after
peace was once declared, say Madero's
Iieutenants.
1t is believed such move will be the
solution of the delicate problem of keep
ing order. should peace be finally agreed
upon.

land where there is no sovereignty,
where the sovereignty resides in one
man, and he is Old and trembling and
about ready to quit. Now what are we
going to do, If we are the policemen

the way TO look at II, and our southern

NEW YORK, May 5.-Moderately
large selling by the bears yesterday
afternoon added to the strength of
the markets technical position.
Every time values break the amount
of stock Offering decreases, as hold
ers will not liqpidate on weak spots.
1t has been more or less a rule of
late that they would sell on strong
spots, and these advances have been
checked before they have made much
headway. Bhis accounts for the ir-
regularity from day to day as the
days news is rarely of sufficient inn
portance to give the market definite
trend, save when the Mexican situa-
ton brtghtens or becomes more
gloomy. The general opinion Of brok-
ers and commission houses favors the
purchase of stocks on weakness and
the taking of profits on rallies, and
movement in stocks. 1t is suggested,
in buying high priced shares on weak
ness, to follow with stop loss orders,
to cut short losses through unexpect-
ed developments. The market has
shown a good front to bad news for
ments that are only superficial ought
not to result in any material decline.
The Street does not look for the trust
decisions until the fall term of court,
so that the usual reticence to do any
thing on the closing days of the week
and on Mondays will not be noticed.
