Juarez, Mexico, May 12.--The pro yisional government of Mexico made such progress with its work of or ganization today that it is believed within few days the states of Chi huahua and Sonora will be completely administered by provisional state and municipal offices.
 The establishment of garrisons in Northern Mexico, the installation of local officials, the opening of railway and telegraph lines is being accom- plished by direction of Provisional President Madero and his cabinet.
 Although nothing was done by the officials of the provisional govern ment respecting peace negotiations, the fact that there is deadlock over procedure became more pronounced The federal government and the pro visional government are standing their distance, each waiting for the other to make the first move
 The insurrectos contend that Judge Carbaial suspended the negotiations after they had submitted proposi- ton asking General Diaz to announce his intention cf resigning.
 Now that President Diaz has done l
 that, though the insurrectos claim it was done in a vague manner. the in- surrectos are awaiting some word from Judge Carbajal who has main tained the status quo not having re- cefved any instructions to do other wise. but the unofficial go-betweens are again busy in an effort to bring the two sides together.
 They expected to get an audience with Provisional President Madero tonight but were not successful To morrow, it is expected, he will listen to what is believed to be their new argument.
 Having dissolved their original peace commission of three, the rebels now may conduct their peace negotia- tions through their newly organized department of foreign relations of which Dr. vasquez Gomez is secre tary.
 A gleam of hope is contained in the | fact that some rebel leaders have said they would be willing to accept General Diaz' manifesto as sufficient evidence of his intention to resign and to go ahead with peace negotia- tions provided the government con sented to the immediate appointment of governors for foruteen of the twenty-seven states and to general transfer of power into the hands of the revolutionary party.
 What will come of this plan ix not known, but it is said to be favored by insurrecto leaders. With the question of the presidents resignation elimi- mated, progress toward peace is cer- tain.
 On the other hand, some of the insurrecto leaders believe their mili tary successes soon will include Mex. leo City, where the provisional gov ernment will be moved and at this time hardly would afford as complete a transfer of political power as sure ly would follow military triumph.
 It is pointed out that the rebel chiefs in the south would consent to nothing but immediate abdicatica of General Diaz. but authentic advices on this point are lacking.
 The provisional government, by taking possession s- the custom house today. will begin to receive it's first income. Taxes are being levied and tariffs will be exacted as heretofore by the federal government, the funds being used to prosecute the revolu- tion.
 The news that arms now can be passed through the American lines was Joyously received and arrange ments already are being made for the purchase of much ammunition and ar tillery. The insurrectos in the north are well supplied, but those in the south and west have very little equipment. The United States custom house officials have received word from Washington to pass arms and ammunition and all classes of articles through to Juarez. and already the war department of the provisional government. of which veniustiano carranza is secretary. is making the
