PLANTATION of recent governmental
changes at Mexico City, the recall Of
Senior Limantour from Paris; the ar
rival Of Francisco T. Madero. Sr., and
his son, Gustavo, AT this city, and the
departure OF MIR, de Ia Barra from
the ministerial mansion at Washing
ton for his new post, all were ex-
planned today in interviews with
Francisco l. Madero, Sr., and Gustavo
Madero.
Tentative peace proposals have been
made and on the administration side
have been acted on. In the view of
Don Francisco. peace is assured--if
not within ten days, then at the
furthest. within month, Dlaz, II Is
reported, in q message to the Mexican
congress will insist that peace be con-
cluded.
On the one point, and the vital one.
OF why they We're so certain that the
tentative arrangement would result
within a set time in a sealed compact
of peace, father and son were silent.
They answered freely every other
question.
When the elder Madero and Imam
tour met recently the very meeting
was denied; let alone a discussion OF
terms OF possible peace, Today u
was admitted the interview concerned
peace alone.
| senor Limantour, the great Mexi-
can financier, familiar alike with the
bourse Of Paris, with Threadneedle
street, with Wall street and moneyed
| Vienna and Berlin, responded to the
presidential summons to come TO the
tinitud states from Paris aud carried
out the orders OF his superior, Por-
| flrlo Diaz.
Unofuoially, on the surface Mt
ieasi, Ae conferred with the repre-
sentatipes OF the revolutionists, the
father of Francisco |. Madero, now in
the field and the head of the revolu-
tlonsts In front OF Chihuahua.
Llmantour agreed to obtain every
| concession possible from the govern
ment to make possible formal nego-
| tiatlons for peace.
Don Francisco, the elder, promised
likewise. Limantour moved first. The
resignation Of the aged Diaz cabinet
followed his first interview with
President Diaz. In itself II was not
Important: as a concession to public
opinion II meant everything 1t was
the evidence of good faith for which
the insurrectos waited.
Today Senor Madero and his son
arrived here. They asserted positive
/ " their belief that real peace Is at
hand in their war ridden land. They
also intimated that formal neeotia-
tions would take place here.
"With only the resignation OF the
cabinet as evidence of good faith,
would you care TO trust yourself on
Mexican soil TO take up the question
of the cessation of warfare?" Don
Gustavo was asked.
'Well. scarcely" smiled the latter.
on this point nothing more definite
was obtainable, but the inference was
left plain that San Antonio Is destined
to be. In less important way, an
other Portsmouth.
President Diaz 1t Is said, will be al
lowed to save his face He Will re-
tire with all the honors due his dis
tingulshed services Senior Limantour
was firm upon this point as the basis
of preliminary negotiations.
Senior Madero agreed, admitting,
however, that his acqulescence Is sub
iect to possible rejection by vote OF
his son, Francisco and other army
leaders. He does not fear an ad-
verse vote, however,
The basic concessions which It IL
believed will be ratified later. include
the resignation Of the Diaz cabinet
and the appointment OF younger men
to their positions. which already has
been accomplished,
The next Is the resignation of Diaz
and the holding OF an election in
which the suffrage shall be uncon-
strained and free. THIS arrangement
Includes the elimination of Vice
President Corral, sick man, than
whom 1t Is said, there is probably no
more unpopular person In Mexico.
Corral already out of the cabinet,
will resign the second highest office
| In the land. Ilmantour, minister OF
finance, or De La Barra, the new
foreign minister, Will exercise the
functions of the office. The insur-
rectos do not consider De La Barra
a strong man and the inference was
plain In the interviews today that
| Llmantour was the leader relied upon
to carry out the governments guar
antees.
