Juarez. Mex. May I7.-Upon whether
the Mexican government will grant to
the insurrectos permission to name

storing peace in Mexico. This PROPOSE
ton, a slight modification Of the orig
inal demand of the rebels, which called
for four portfolios in the cabinet, Is
the reply which was made today to the
offer Of one federal cabinet member
and 10 governorships as the price of
peace,
The answer OF the government is ex-
pected here tonight. Judge Carbajal
has authority to arrange peace on the
latter basis, but in his talk with Pro
visional President Francisco l. Madero.
ir., last night 1t was indicated to him
that the rebels must have at least three
portfolios and these should be the all-
important posts of minister of war.
minister of justice and minister Of GO
bernacion, which has administration
over the interior state administrations
Of Mexico.
Rebels Yield Majority.
The rebels feel that in yielding fopE
places to three, they are giving the
government a majority of five in the
cabinet, when hitherto they have in
sisted on equal strength there and prac-
ticaIy power to deadlock it on impor-
tant measures. Especially after the
battle of Juarez the rebels think they
are displaying the highest generosity
for they now claim military possession
of the states of Chihuahua and So
nora, as well as a firm hold on many
of the others.
Judge Carbajal is believed to have
offered the insurrectOs the portfolio
of minister of public instruction, which
they think of great Importance to the
country. but of practically of no POI
litical significance Once in control Of
the war department, the department OF
Justice and the department Of gOberna-
cion, they feel, too, that they would
be able to reduce the country to tran

Through the war department the rebels
hope to concentrate what little scat

Plan official Party.
The insurrectos Immediately after
peace is declared will form a political
party which probably will be called

peace is completely restored and Gen

the new party will devote itself to pre-
