MExICo'S SCENE SHIFTS.
officials are Beginning to Start for the
Capital City.

Juarez, Mexico, May 10 Provisional
President Francisco T. Madero's an
nouncement that he would leave for
Mexico City within two days to partici-
pate in a reconstruction of the federal
government was the signal last night
for general departure of political
chiefs, go-betweens and others who
feel that the scene of peace negotia-
tions is about TO be shifted to the cap
ital.
Peace agreements, official eonces-
sions and the machinery of the pro-
yisional government have been tenn
porarily swept aside by the expeeta-
tion that Senior Madero viii uietly
arrange with the federal government a
lasting peace with political emancipa-
ton
Judge ,Carbajal is elated because he
thinks it will be unnecessary to sign
any actual peace agreement Senor
Madero also is elated. Peace is bound
to come, he said, II am going to work
very hard Our demands are well
known. We want merely what is rea-
sonable, but we must be guaranteed
those things | am glad that | shall
be able to effect these guarantees by
personal activity"
DR.. Vasquez Gomez admitted that
there was much thinking to be done be-
fore a modus operandi could be decided
upon He declared that peace was in
effect now, but he thought some kind
OF an unofficial understanding by tele-
graph or otherwise should be estab-
lished with the Mexican government
before the departure Of the rebel lead
ers.
He said that such things as a cabinet
reorganization, the placing of the gov
erDors in power ond other details con.
corning the reconstruction of the federal
government could not be written into
any agreement Senor de la Barra
could not officially promise to name any
one for his cabinet
The federal government could only
suggest to the state legislatures the
appointment of provisional governors,
but such points as the payment Of in
IDENTITIES, the pensioning of soldiers and
the like, which are strictly depart
mental affairs, Dr. Gomez wants ar
ranged before Senor Madero leaves
Juarez.
This is the proposition which he win
submit to the provisional cabinet to.
day, and obiut which Judge Carbajal
expects 10 receive some instructions be-
fore tonight These details must be
arranged, DR. Gomez said, and at least
telegraphic understanding about the
future course in Mexico City should
be effected
