 Amounts te Confession.
 He asserted that the changes are a confession of the governments 1napii- ity to crush the revolution.
 "Senor Lirnantour has said that tne peoples just wishes" he said, "pacl- ficaily expressed, would be granted. Tine former policy of the government was simply to place reformers in jail. The concessions now given are que only to the armed revolution, although h the government has been warned by myself and others that if constitution al rights and free ballot were not granted a revolutions must follow. They could not or would not, see the danger menacing the nation. s Last Election Must Be Declared Void. "We will not lay down our arms 'tln- til the general election of last year IS declared void and new elections with sufficient guarantee of freedom of the ballot provided. alone will not be sufficient It previ- ously has made many promises and kept none. We must have sufficient guarantee of the resignation of Presi- dent Diaz and Vice President Corral and the immediate calling of new cleo tions.
 Intervention a Hostile Act.
 United States intervention is em- phatically deprecated. We must solve our own problem.
 we would regard intervention as a hostile act. We believe in the friend ship of the United States government nd n1o the ff1v of the people of the United States for the insurgents. I have too high an opinion of the United States govern ment to fear an unjust war. "Ail foreign interests have been and will be respected by the insurgept forces. Any questions arising as a re- suit of the revolution easily can be settled diplomatically.
 Government on Defensive.
 T have faith in the final triumphs of our arms. because the government fs now on the defensive, holding only the garrison towns in many states and enabling us to concentrate our forces and strike the government many se- vera blows"
