DIAZ YIELDS.
President and Vice President of
 Mexico Will Retire.

SlOcnU 1Il;lZ ana Ice f>feSluc1lU Corral will resign before June l.
 Minister of Foreign Relations de la Barra will become pre- sident ad interim. Francisco l. MaderO, the evolutionary lead or, will be called to Mexico City to act as dc la Barra's chief ad- wiser and as the greatest guar anty possible that every pledge made by the government will be carried out. As viewed by the public it would be virtually a joint presidency, pending a new election.
 The Cabinet will be reorganiz- ed. The minister of war will be named by de la Barra. The for eign office will be in charge of a sub-S secretary to be named by him. Other cabinet members will be chosen by him and Ma dero jointly. A new election will be called within six months. Political amnesty will be recon mended by the chamber of de puties.
 These are the conditions upon which President Diaz will com promise. Virtually to be com plete surrender to the revOlu- tioniStS.
 The resignation of Diaz and the joint regency" of de la Barra and Madero are said to constitute a guaranty so com plete that the original insurrecto (ln r16 fO, will no longer be considered.
 The Cabinet has been in al most continuous session for two days, despite the severe illness of Diaz. The presidents entire face is infected by an Liberated tooth. The upper lip is swollen far beyond the normal size and the face is inf1amed. He showed fever yesterday, but this Symp tom was eliminated today.
 The governments conditions were telegraphed to Judge Car bajal this afternoon with in Structions to submit them to Madero. InaSmuch as the gov ernment believes it has made every concession the revOlu- tionists requested, it Is firmly believed that peace will follow.
 The public received the an nouncement of Diaz's intention 70 resign with profound satis- faction. Since the battle of Juarez they realized that the presidents renunciation of his high office alone would bring fhnO11~hnI1f Nn republic has suffered severely and the people are generally eager for an honorable peace.
 It is suggested that in the there is one point over which quibble may occur, that regarding the selection of a minister of war. The selection is left entirely to de la Barra. He must, according to the agree ment of the ministers and pre- name "a general who has the good will and respect of the | army"
 Many people see in this an that General Bernardo | Reyes would be the choice. At l the time Reyes left Mexico, it is safe to say, there was no man in i the army to whom this descrip- tion applied better than to him. It remains to be seen, however, i if he retains the good will and l respect of the army.
 The scene wherein Porfirio Diaz renounced the Sceptre he has yielded for so many years would have been for the heroic of the man who is it's figure. In much pain, relieved by narcotics, able to ut ter but a few words and these with difficulty, recumbent on his was still the dOmin ant figure in the council.
 Not once did he think of himself" said LimantOur. Ev- cry thought he expressed was for the future of his country. He has and honest pride but no I venture to predict that | year or two when a new order 0f things has been established, Mexico will regard him as it's greatest hero.
 This resignation must for ever silence those who could ind no other criticism than that le lusted for power. He ruled o,i,,Crln inn fD1. his,
