Washington, April 10. - With
the receipt at the state department
OF advices confirming the report
that negotiations for an armistice

forces are in progress the opinion
was expressed here today that OPP
perfume action had been taken by
both sides in the Mexican revoIu-
ton to prevent complications with
the United States.
The fact that negotiations for an
armistice have been confined to
state of Chihuahua and the north
ern part Of Sonora is interpreted
In two ways here. on the one
hand, 1t is believed that the rebels
are proposing a partial laying
down or arms to enable them to
maintain their fight in other states,
though consenting at the same time
to inactivity along the American
border. On the other hand, a
strong belief exists that Francisco
!. Madero. jr., has little control
over the people who have risen
in revolt In other states.
