Mexico City. Mex, May 17.--Pres-
ident Diaz and Vice President Corral
will resign on June Is. Minister of
Foreign Affairs de La Barra will
become president ad interim Fran
cisco |. Madero, the revolutionary
president will be called to Mexico to
act as de La Barra's chief advisor and
rs the greatest guarantee possible that
every pledge made by the government
will be carried out
AS viewed by the public 1t would
be virtually a joint presidency pend
ing a new election. The cabinet will
be reorganized. The minister of war
win be named by de La Barra and
the foreign office will be in charge of
sub-secretary named by him. Other
cabinet members Will be chosen by
him and Madero jointly A new cleo
ton will he called within six months.
Political amnesty will be recon-
mended TO the chamber of deputies.
Those are the conditions upon which
President Diaz will compromise. Nir-
tually they are admitted in high quar-
ters to be complete surrender to the
reVolutionists
The resignation OF Diaz and the
Joint regency" of de La Barra and
MGdcro are said to constitute a guar
antoe so complete that the original
insurrecto demand for fourteen COVER
nors no longer need be considered.
The cabinet was in almost continu-
Gus session for two days, despite the
eevere Illness of President Diaz. The
presidents entire face issaffected from
an liberated tooth, His upper lip Is
swollen far beyond its normal size
and his face Is inflamed. He showed
fever yesterday but this symptom was
eliminated TO-DAY He speaks with
the greatest difficulty. but while he
Is in severe pain his condition is not
an alarming one, despite his advanced
age
The government conditions were tel
cgrnpned to JudgeCarbajal this ar
ternoon with instructions to submit
them to General Madero. If they are
accepted, which is regarded as GER
tain. an aTmistiea covering entire
Mexico will be agreed upon.
In as much as the government be-
lieves IL has made every concession
that the revolutionists have request
ed. ii Is firmly believed treaty OF
peace will follow.
The public received the announce
ment OF Diaz' intention to resign with
profound satisfaction. Since the Dat-
Tie of Juarez they have realized that
the presidents reunciation of his hlsh
office could alone bring about peace.
Business throughout the republic has
suffered severely and the people gem
orally were eager for an honorable
peace.
1t Is suggested that in the conditions
one point over which a bubble may
occur Is that regarding the selection
Of the minister of war. The selection
Is left entirely to de La Barra, and he
must be, according to the agreement
OF the ministers and the president,
general who has the good will and re-
spect of the army.
Many people see in this an intima-
ton that General Bernardo Reyes Will
be the choice. At the time General
Reyes left Mexico it is safe 10 say
there was no man in the army 10
whom this description apphed petter
than to him. Ii remains TO De seen,
however, if he retains the good VIII
ana respect OF the army.
Assuming that Reyes is the man
the government has in mind Tor the
head of the war office and IN view OF
Madero's open opposition TO hiil' i,
is reasonable to assume that ne VIII

General lose Gonzales Zalas also
has Eeen suggested as minister Oh WAL
While the suggestion comes from the
revolutionsts. it is not impossible he
might be acceptable to the govern
ment.
General Zalas has been given no

army, as well as of the administration.
i ne reservation made regarding the
foreign office probably will be ac-
ceptable to the revolutionists AT no
Time mas de La Barra incurred the
personal antagonism of the revolutions
lsts, Dut he mas done everything in MS
power TO bring the two factions to-
gether. 1t is almost entirely through
his efforts that an understanding is so
near. The proposition that the al
