other bands hitherto fighting independently,
do not lay down their arms, Madero's in
surrecto army viii be turned loose on
them.
No peace agreement viii be signed, but
the interim between now and the time
Senior de la Barra becomes president will
be utilized in getting the Mexican congress
to enact laws covering most OF the points
which it had been thought should be con-
tanned in peace agreement
This is the explanation which one of the
most prominent insurrecto leaders gave
tonight of the status of the peace ne
gotiations. Maderos postponement of his
visit to Mexico City and other complica-
lions which arose early today presented
tangle to the federal representatives as
well as to rebel leaders here. who ad-
mitted they did not understand the situa-
ton themselves. N-
Facts" said a rebel leader, these are
the only things that can make peace. We
cannot make a peace agreement, legally
binding, that requires the government to
pay certain indemnities. This must be
done by congressional appropriation. We
cannot compel the government to install
our provisional governors. This must be
done by the legislatures themselves.
''Whep all these things are done, and
we bear witness to their performance,
al, -anl, ~
course, peace is assured. 1t is a matter
of method only"
New Cabinet Named.
The naming of the new cabinet, which
is to surround Provisional President de la
Barra was the chief work of the day
among the rebel leaders. Senior Madero
did 1t, with the assistance of his advisers.
What they finally will do cannot be pre-
dicted, as names for cabinet portfolios are
subject to change without notice until the
new members are actually installed.
The new Mexican cabinet, according to
the best information, probaly will be as
follows: -.
Minister of Justice-Vasquez Tage.
Minister Of War-General Rascona.
Minister of Fomento (Promotion of
Colonization and Industry)-Manuel Calero.
Minister of Communications public
Utilites)-Manuel Bonilla.
Minister of Public Instruction-Dr. Fran
cisco Vasquez Gomez
Minister OF Gobernacion interior Ad-
MISUNDERSTANDING Vasquez Gomez.
Minister Of Hacienda Ffnance)-Ernesto
Madero.
Senior de la Barra will name a subsecre-
tary to take charge of the Department of
Foreign Relations while he is occupied in
the provisional presidency.
Emilio Vasquez Gomez is now at San
Antonio, Tex. He is a brother of DR..
Gomez who is to take the post of public
instructions.
Manuel Calero is now a member of the
Mexican congress. one of the leading cham
pions of the reforms desired by the new
progressive party.
Manuel Bonilla has been the revolutionist
leader of the state of sinaloa and has also
occupied the ministry of communication in
the rebel cabinet.
Ernesto Madero Is an uncle of Francisco
I. Madero, jr., and one of the most prom
inent financiers IN Mexico He is at
Monterey, Mex
The choice of General Rascona for the
portfolio of war was made by the federal
government, but the rebels accede to it as
do they to Senior de la Barra s remaining in
nominal charge Of the Department of
Foreign Relations The rebels however
have practically named six members of
the new cabinet.
MaderO Issues Statement.
Senior Madero issued a statement late to-
day explaining that he would not go to the
capital until Senior de la Barra stepped into
the presidential chair.
AS the rebel leader now has decided not
to go TO Mexico City until Senior de la
Barra becomes provisional president, the
original plan Of having him arrange peace
terms in Mexico City has practically been
set aside.
Peace terms will be arranged by tele-
graphic understanding and by observation
the latter constituting the scrutiny which
the rebels will place upon the acts of
congress of state legislatures between now
and the end of the month.
The Mexican congress Ii scheduled to
adjourn by the end of the month. 1t is
a safe prediction therefore, that the ten
days either will see complete tranquility
in Mexico or a continuation of the war.
Source of story Not Known.
The source of Madero's information con-
corning the alleged plot is not known here.
Al police headquarters 1t is admitted that
anonymous letters have been received tell |
ing OF the existence of a conspiracy. No |
