The Closing Incidents.
Francisco Madero, ST., had called on
Judge Carbajal at Ell Paso about $3.50
o'clock last night and, after q tedious
half hour wait for Senior Pine Suarez,
the party started for Juarez in a big
automobile, thinking Senior Suarez
previously had gone to the customs
house here.
When the peace automobile, followed
by three machines filled with news
papermen, dashed UP to the customs
house shortly after 10 o'clock. neither
Senior Suarez nor any one else was
there to receive them. The customs
house door was safely barred by
nuge grating. Senior Suarez failed to
appear. and after q brief conference, 1t
vas decided as the document already
had been drafted, to sign the pact on
the steps of the building, agreeing to
allow Senior Suarez to sign 1t today.
There under the stars typewriter cop
es Of the peace agreement were signed
and exchanged while four automobiles
on the opposite side of the street
turned their glazing searchlights upon
the customs house steps. The news
and some matches and huddled to-
gether to keep the matches from being
extinguished by the evening breeze.
Signed by Match Light.
It was Francisco Madero, sr.'s foun-
Jain pen that was used, and In watch
ing the commissioners slowly scrawl
their names under the agreement, one
If the bystanders forgot the burning
match he held and nearly spoiled one
If the signatures when he suddenly
cropped the match while the pact was
being signed. The commissioners en-
Ioyed the humor Of the situation and
declared that never was peace treaty
signed under more extraordinary condi-
lions.
When 1t was all over they embraced
IN true Spanish fashion, reaching over
each others shoulders and clapping
The palms of their hands on their re-
spective spines. The commissioners ex-
pressed great relief that the task for
which they SO long had labored had
oeen accomplished without the intro
without injuring the national prestige
Or dignity of their country.
Disturbances Not Expected.
Though the peace agreement pro-
yides for the gradual dispensing Of
the troops, 1t is not believed any coun-
ter revolts, or disturbances will occur.
The object of the gradual disbanding
of the insurrectos. 1t is explained, Is
70 maintain for a short time good
lighting force by which to keep order
among the small scattered bands who
might feel inclined to disregard the
peace agreement.
Trouble is anticipated with the rebels
n Lower California. Though the in
fhara
with the Madero movement. the rebel
chiefs here will send ENJOYS or mes
,ages urging the acceptance Of the con-
iitions agreed upon here. Should they
.efuse, an armed exhibition, which
probably will be led by Pascual Orozco,
viii be sent to subdue them.
Senior Madero in his victory feels that
ne will now be responsible for the res
toration Of complete tranquility. and
will attempt to demonstrate that If he
g not in control of some bands, he at
east can subjugate them.
