| IS PRESIDENCY
Itaz Agrees to Give up His office by
June and Let Country be
Ruled by Other
Parties.
MEANS PEACE AT LAST
Madero to 90 to Capital and Act as
Chief Advisor of De La Barra
Who viii BIO President ad
interim.

"A
dent Diaz and Vice President Corral
will resign before June j.
Minister OF Foreign Relations De la
Barra will become president ad inter-
I'm.
Francisco l. Madero, the revolution
sry leader, will be called to the City
OF Mexico to act as De la Barra's chief
adviser, and at the greatest guarantee
possible that every pledge made by
this government will carried out. AS
viewed by the public, 1t will be yir-
tually a Joint presidency pending the
calling OF a new presidential election.
The cabinet will be reorganized.
| The minister OF war will be named by
| De la Barra The foreign officers will
| be In charge of a subsecretary named
| by him. Other cabinet members will
be chosen by him and Madero jointly.
A new election will be called within
six months.
Political amnesty will be recon-
mended to the Chamber of Deputies.
These are the conditions upon
which President Diaz will compromise.
Virtually, they are admitted In high
quarters to be complete surrender
to the revolutionists.
Strong Guarantee to Rebels
The resignation of Diaz and the
"joint regency" of De la Barra and
Madero are said to constitute guar
antee SO complete that the original
insurrecto demand for fourteen gov
ernors no longer needs to be consid-
cred.
The cabinet was in almost continuous
severe illness OF President Diaz. The
presidents face Is infected from an
liberated tooth. His upper lip is
swollen far beyond it's normal size
and his face is inflamed He showed
fever yesterday, but this symptom
was eliminated today. He speaks with
the greatest difficulty, but, while he
is in severe pain, his condition Is not
alarming at this time, despite his ad
vanced age
The governments conditions were
telegraphed to Judge Carbajal with In
structions to submit them to Gen
Madero. II they are accepted, which
is regarded as certain, an armistict
covering entire Mexico will be agreed
upon. In as mitch as the government
believes it has made every concession
that the revolutionists have requested
IT is firmly believed treaty OF peacs
will follow.
The public received the announc
ment of Diaz's intention to resign will
profound satisfaction. Since the bat
Tie OF Juarez they have realized th'
presidents renunciation OF his higl
offlce alone could bring about peace
BUSINESS throughout the republic ha
suffered and the people general,
We're eager for an honorable peace
Madro Opposes Reyes.
1t is suggested that in the condit
IONS one point over which quibbl
may occur is that regarding the selet
uon of the minister of war. The Sc
lectlon is left entirely to De la Barre
he must be, according to the agree
ment OF the ministers and the pres
oent "a general who has the goo
VIII and respect of the army"
Many people see in this an intims
non that Gen. Barnardo Reyes will
.ne choice. Assuming that Reyes
.ae man the government has in min
'or the head of the war office. and |
view of Maderos open opposition t
'ilm. 1t Is reasonable to assume tha
ue VIII not be acceptable.
Gen. Jose Gonzales Salaz also ha
neen suggested as minister of wa
Wiilie the suggestion comes from tn
leYolu,ionists, it is not impossibl
euat ne might not be acceptable to tn
soyerhment. Gen. Gonzales has bee
s'Yen no active part in the campaig
osalnst the rebels. He has the goo
@iil and respect of the army as we
% OF the administration.
Inc reservation made regarding tn
'oeisn office probably will be accep
