El Paso, Tex, April 23,---An armis-
tice OF five DAYS beginning at noon
today and affecting the district be-
tween Juarez and chihuahua and west
OF the latter was made effective In an
exchange OF Identical letters signed
by General Francisco |, Madero. Jr.,
Tor the rebels and General Juan Ma
varro for the government.
The truce provides there shall be
no movement OF troops OF either side
during the next five days and that
provisions and medicines may be
brought TO either camp from the Unit
cd states without payment Of duty.
II Is noted that Ojinaga, who with
small federal force IL besieged. Is
not covered In the armistice, the in
surrecto activity In that district be-
Ing largely Independent. IL Ia ex-
pected that In the event of the settle
ment of the rebellion in chihuahua
the situation at Ojinaga and other
scattered places throughout the re-
public viii receive attention.
The moral effect of the cessation of
hostillties in chihuahua Is regarded
as certain TO make settlements In 9TH
er parts OF the country simple.
II was known that truce was
agreeable TO Madero and telegram
from Mexico City Informed General
Madero that General Navarro had
been instructed by President Diaz to
enter into the agreement.
The concessions which the govern
ment is/willlng to make have been
known to General Madero for two
weeks. ever since FREDERICK Moye,
business man OF Chihuahua, visited
General Madero at Ranches Bustlllos.
They were discussed in the meeting
by the leaders and members of tho
peace mission. Those present were:
Francisco Madero. Sr., father OF the
rebel leader; the latter's brothers. AL
fonso, Gustavo and Raouel Madero;
Paseual Orosco, the original field
leader of the revolution; Pancho
villa. former bandit and present
staunch supporter Of Madero; Giu-
seppe Garibaldi and General and Se-
nora Madero.
The last named Is accounted
strong supporter Of taking Juarez and
then talking peace. She feels her
husband would be In better POSI-
ton to talk peace from Juarez than
from the hills around IT, repre-
sentative OF the Associated Press was
present by invitation, having been
with the insurrecto forces much or
the time since the revolt started.
Much OF the discussion was of n
nature the publication OF which is not
desired at this time. 1t may be said,
however, that General Madero has tho
most authentic assurances of a liber-
Al .tt IA. . ha "a ,.f a
ment. In fact Il may be said Presl-
dent Dlaz Is anxious to adopt every
measure that VIII insure the return OF
the revolutionary soldiers to their
farms and shops with the feeling that
the government in Mexico city is
their government and that every aid
the government can give them to re-
pair the ravages of neglect is theirs
for the asking.
The government wants no rancor to
remain on either side. The liberality
of the president on every point imme-
diately affecting the daily life of the
people, as shown In the assurances
given General Madero, exceeds the
dreams of the reyolutionists them
selves.
All kilograms which have been ex-
changed IN the pour parleurs and all
documents In the case were handed
from one to another and carefully
read by all, including Sonora Madero.
The leaders under Madero assured
him. as they have done before. that
any terms arranged by him will be
faithfully kept by them. When the
conference adjourned for luncheon
long telegram was dispatched to
Mexico city Presumably It suggest
ed detail changes or additions In the
outline plan which serves as a basis
of discussion.
The terms OF the armistice are:
/. Both forces which operate III

ally occupy on this day (Aprll 2S),
