El Paso. Texas, March 16-Before
any proposals for termination of the
Mexican insurrection will be entered
into by the insurrectos here Diaz must
agree to declare null 'ais election of
1910 and must agree to submit to a
gnew election under the terms for +
free ballot allowed by the constitu-
ton of 1857. He must agree to de-
.mand all the political reforms de-
mand The insurrectos must not be
required to surrender their arms un-
til peace is assured
This is the reply Of senor Gonzales
Garza, the insurrecto secretary OF
state to the statement from New
York that Sencr Limantour, the Mexi-
can minister of finance had formulat-
ed tentative plans for ending the in
surreotion and in effect it is the rep y
of Francisco l. Madero, the reyolu-
tionary leader, wao is now fighting IN
the fed
Senor Cara has been in ccmmuni-
cation with Nader and has aequaint
ed Madero with whatever negotia-
tions have been carried on in Wash
lington and New YORK looking to a
settlement. Francisco Madero IS
Hooked upon as the revolutionary
president and as representing the will
OF the insurrectos and no pelce plaas
win be entered into until he has given
| his consent and fully gone over the
"details, Senor Cara said:
''Madero is about 100 miles south
of FL Paso. surrounded by about TO-
900 fcllowers,' he continued He Is
reported to be coming northward to
be joined en- route BY General Orozco
with 600 men Whether his destina
tion is the frontier in connection with
bny peace negotiations is unknown
Communicate with Madero has been
difficult. it requiring three or four
days for courier to reach him.
President Madero is tae only man
authorized to conclude any arms
tice.' said Senior Cara He holds
his authority because he represents
the will cf the people. DIR. Francisco
Vasquez. the insurrecto representa-
tive at Washington, or member Of
tMadero's family would be able only
to suggest a plan.'
Diaz should again be elected, would
,he then be acceptable to the insurec-
tos2' Senor Garza was asked.
"Yes. We would accept him, but ne
never would be elected on a free bal
lot. We have no faith in MIN. Ma
dero would be elected.
"All members. of any commission Sc
lected to conduce terms would have
Ito be citizens of Mexico. The insur-
rectos would net want to do any
thain that would lessen the dignity Of
their country. Mediation by the
United States would be considered !,
lessening of dignity. II also would be
necessary for the Mexican govern
ment to guarantee equality to both
sides. 1t the peace plans failed the
insurrectos would want to take up
arms again and be as strong as they
are now. IL Is not unlikely Diaz
would want us to surrender our arms
Our attitude is that the relative posi-
tions must be unchanged
