Juarez. Mex, May -17.-Upon wheth..
er the Mexican government will grant
to the insurgents permission to name
three members Of the cabinet and the
governors Of fourteen of the twenty
seven Mexican states depends the is:
sue of restoring peace in Mexico. This
proposition, a slight modification OF
the original demand Of the rebels,
which called for four portfolios in the
cabinet, Is the reply which will be
made to the offer of the federal gov
eminent of one cabinet member and
ten governorships as the price of
peace.
Judge Carbajal has authority to ar.
range peace on the later basis, but in
his talk with Provisional President
Francisco /. Madero, Jr., it was indi-
Gated 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 gobernacion,

RebeIsSThInk They Are Generous.
The rebels feel that in yielding
from four places to- three they are
giving the government a majority OF
two in the cabinet, whereas hitherto
they have insisted on equal strength

Especially after the battle of Juare2
the rebels think they are displaying
the highest generosity, for they now
