PRESIDENT O|Az' MESSAGE {
ENDORSES THE REvOLUT|OA|STs

Dr. Gomez Declares il Diaz Govern.
ernment Will Lay Aside Its Prfdo
and Furnish Proof Of Its Patriotism
1t Gan Come to Terms.
Ell Paso. Tex, April 3.-Interest in
the Mexican situation centers in
Francisco I. Madero, sr., and Alfonso
Madero. who arrived last night, pre-.
sumably on a mission of peace. While
maintaining complete silence regard
ing the reason for their presence here.
the father and brother of the insur:
recto leader intimated that deyelon.
ments might be expected within tho
next few days. 1t is believed here
they are awaiting the arrival of mes
sengers from the insurrecto chief.
bringing the terms on which he will
consent to cessation Of hostilities.
The terms are to be formulated by
the men in the field.
Members Of the junta today reiter-
ated IN general way their comment
on President Diaz's message to con.
gress as being unsatisfactory. It
makes no direct reference to any real
move on the governments part to se.
cure peace. In fact, 1t is held rather
to minimize the Importance Of the
revolt Important reforms are advo-
; Gated, but the pressure of the revolu.
| ttonists in securing them is not recog-
/ nized. The insurrectos held that Diaz
must do more than his message prom-
ises. He must resign and make way
for free election.
Senor Azcona declared, like others
Of the junta, that should formal and
binding negotiations result, they must
be held on neutral soil and that their
contents must be made public on neu.
tral soil. This Is a detail Of the recog.
milton which the revolutionists claim
as their right.
The Associated Press interview se-
cured with Francisco Madaro, Jr.,, in
the field west Of Chihuahua, was read
with interest. It was accepted as a
definite statement by the rebel leader
Of his demands-the basis for any
Solutions Proposed. ,
Washington, April 3.-Pointing out
that the message of President Diaz to
the Mexican congress-, endorses the
demands of the Mexican revoluttno.
lists, DR.. Vazquez Gomez, head Of the
confidential agency Of the insurgents,
last night issued a statement suggest.
ing two solutions to the trouble In
Mexico.
The government of President Diaz,
he declares, "by throwing aside its
pride and furnishing a proof Of its
patriotism" may treat openly with the
revolutionists, putting an end to the
conflict and arranging ''the best man
ner of guaranteeing the reforms and
Just demands of the revolutionists,"
or the war may continue to its final
triumph. which, DR.: Gomez believes,
is not far distant.
DR.. Gomez said that If the revo1u.
tionists were obliged to pursue the
latter course. he hoped that Gin the
interest of justice and humanity" the
United States would recognize the
belligerency Of the insurrection.
81 say in the interest of justice and
humanity" said DR.. Gomez" because
up to the present time, inasmuch as
the government Of Gen. Diaz has in
sisted on treating the resolutionists
as bandits. they have not been able
properly to organize medical service
to attend to the sick and wounded.
and the burial Of the dead. At pres-
ent. if member of the insurgent
medical service is taken prisoner, by
Diaz's troops, he is shot Immediate
IT,"
In his analysis of. the message Of
President Diaz, DR.. Gomez said he
found much encouragement to the
cause Of the revolutionists.
His statement Is in part as follows:
Gen. Diaz's message at the bottom
one, and has for its object the better
in Mexico. For this reason, I am more
than ever firmly convinced that the
revolutionary party shortly will tri-
umph.
I'm the first place, the message ad-
mits that the country must not be gov
erned indefinitely by the same group
of men, notwithstanding what may be
their personal merits; and, as Gen.
Diaz has been in power for thirty-four
wears, the revolutionists will stand for
him no longer.
I'm the second place. the message
confesses that the principle of no re-
election of public officers elected by
popular vote merits the 'heartiest
support That is to say, that the full
fillment of the slogan, mo reelection
adopted by the revolutionary party. Is
national necessity.
