necessary that some announcement or dec

that a peace agreement was entirely un-
necessary. as we could merely stand by
and witness the actual carrying out OF the
various things We have demanded. but IN
the meantime the army would be idle and
would have TO be provisioned. and a wait Of
ten or fifteen days might cause a danger
Gus restlessness. Some kind OF manifesto
advising the various chiefs that peace u
practically assured is necessary They
who are not on the ground and in touch
with the progress Of our relations with the
government might feel disposed to prose-
cute the rebellion.
The declaration or manifesto OF peaca
should be the principal basis by which peace
really will have been effected. II should
record the fact that President Diaz has
publicly announced as well as personally
telegraphed Mr.. Madero that he will resign
before the expiration Of the present month.

propriating money for indemnities and pen
