These are the conditions upon
whichh President Diaz will comprH-

The cabinet was in almost contin-
uous session for two days despite the
severe illness of President DiaA. The
presidents entire face is Infected
rom an liberated tooth. His upper
lip is swollen far beyond its normal
size and his face is inflamed. lie
showed fever yesterday but this
symptom was eliminated today. Fe

/ but, while he is in severe pain, his
condition is not regarded as calling
for alarm at this time despite his
/ advanced age.
The government conditions were

nit them to General Madcro. II
they are accepted, which is regard
ed as certain, an armistice covering
the entire republic of Mexico will be
signed. Inasmuch as the government
believes it has made every cOnces
sion which the revolutionists have
requested, it is firmly believed a
treaty of peace will follow.
Public Is Satisfied.
Without abating one jot their nd
miration for the man who las maize
modern Mexico, the public received
| the announcement of his intended
resignation with profound satisfaction
Since the battle of JuareZ they have
realized that the presidents renunci-
alton of his high office alone could
bring about peace. Business through
out the republic has suffered Sc
verely and the people generally we're
eager for an honorable peace.
1t is suggested that in the condi.
tions one point over which bubble
may occur is that regarding the Sc
| lection of the minister OF war. The
selection of this member OF the cahi
net is left entirely 20 De la Barra
He must be, according 20 the agree
ment of the ministers and the prcsi
dent, "a general who has the good
will and respect of the army" Many
people see in this an intimation thai
General Bernardo Reyes will ne tbs
choice. At the time General R ye-
