The resignation OF Diaz and the Joint
regency OF De la Bara and Madero arc
said TO constitute a guarantee so COM

FOR fourteen governors no longer need be

President Diaz ILL.,
The cabinet was in almost continuous
session for two days, despite the severe
Illness of President Diaz. The presidents

this symptom was eliminated today. He
speaks with the greatest difficulty, but
%hile he is In severe pain his condition
is not alarming, despite his advanced
age.
The governments conditions were tele-
graphed to Judge .Carbajal this afternoon
with instructions to submit them to Cen
eral Madero. II they are accepted, which
is regarded as certain, an armisticc COW

me public received the announcement
or Diaz's intention to resign with pro-
found satisfaction Since the battle OF
Juarez they have realized that the presi-
dents remuneration of his high office
alone could bring about peace. Business
throughout the republic has suffered Sc

eager for an honorable peace.
One Troublesome Matter

Many people see in this an intimation
that General Bernardo Reyes will be the |
choice. At the time General Reyes left |
Mexico 1t Is safe to say there was no man !
In the army 10 whom this description ap-
piled better than to him. 1t remains to |
be seen however, if he, retained the
good will and respect OF the army.
Assuming that Reyes is the man the |
government has in mind for the head of |
the war office. and in view Of Maderos |

General Jose Gonzales SslaZ also has |
been suggested as minister of war. While |
the suggestion comes from the revolu-
acceptable TO the government. General |
Salaz has been given no active part In |
the campaign against the rebels He has |
the good will and respect Of the army |
as well as OF the administration.
Confidence in De La Barra.
The reservation made regarding the for |
eign office probably will be acceptable to |
the revolutionists. At no time has De la |
Barra incurred the personal antagonism |
OF the revolutionists, but he has done |
everything in his power TO bring the two |
factions together. II is almost entirely |

made Dy the government,
Madero may insist upon appointing |
without suggestion or inference of the |

members of the cabinet. but it is not |
believed here that his opposition will go |
that far.
II is considered that Madero will con-

he will not object to the mutual selec-
tion as proposed, II Is not to he expected |
that the armistce will result in imme-

Hard Task for Madero.
Without doubt the government will
place at the disposition of Madero the
telegraph and railroads TO facilitate the |
transmission OF the news that an agree
ment has been reached and his orders |
TO cease fshting. When it is remem-
bered that many OF the revolutionary |
bands arc many days march from the |
nearest telegraph station. 1t will be seen !
that Madero has no easy task in bring

not improbable that battles will be re-
ported from time to time In the next
two weeks and probably even later In
isolated districts.
It is not questioned that the reputable
chiefs Of Madero, such as Ambrosio FL |
