HOPE OF PEACE NOT GONE
Many Conferences Held at the

Sits Facing Desperate
Situation.

From the Regular Correspondent Of The Tribune
Mexico City. May 6.-The Cabinet held
a meeting Tonight. but without result.
IL will be resumed tomorrow 1t Is
learned from government sources that
peace on substantially the same condi-
tions as those originally discussed by the
COnferrees is not at all improbable. The
Tribune correspondents informant spoke
encouragingly of his conviction that the
armstice would be renewed and that
there would be no further hostilities.
Dispatches received tonight by the
government say that Maderos nego-
tiators are in conference over the terms
proposed by the federals. IL begins TO
look as if the Maderists were taking
second thought on the question of re-
Stunning fighting. They are suspected OF

take the view that the vir1ience of the
feeling which is supposed to exist among
Mexicans against Americans is greatly
overestimated They feel that. while in
terventon would not inevita bly, spell
misfortune for citizens OF the United
States. such a step on the part of the
United states government would be i'll
advised and an act Of folly unless com
piete anarchy should prevail
Anarchy Not Yet Impending
Anarchy or anything approximating
it has not yet come TO pass here or in
any other section OF the country.
Neither does it impend, so far as one
gifted with normal perceptions and pow
ers of observation can now foresee.
IL is by no means impossible from the
point Of view Of leading Americans in
the capital that Washington has been
supplied with dispatches so far as they
affect the alleged jeopardy to American
interests and lives that may have mis-
led the State Department into sizing up
the situation enormously. 1t is known
that the general tone and tenor of the
information proceeding from certain
source in this city have been pessimstic.

sion has been impaired to all newspa-
per men and others who have sought
enlightenment from this source.

Waiting for Reyes.

Here in the capital il is thought To be
barely possible tina. Diaz may yet avail
himself OF the opportunity 10 bring peace
10 his country ny yielding, but those
who know the old mans personal char
acter now say that having ignored Ma
dero's utimatum he will not yield. that
until General Bernardo Reyes arrives he
himself will superinlend the direction Of
the war.
General Reyes should arrive here about
Nav n. and if the administration should
persist in it's attitude the popular belief
Is that Reyes is the only hope the gov
eminent has for the overthrow of the
revolutionists. II was stated to-day
that the government had ordered Reyes
- delay his arrival, but this is authori-
tatively denied.
Fear that further fighting Will he fol
lowed by Intervention and that this will
result i'm scenes of tragic disorder is OK
pressed on every hand

A Day Of Conferences.

Beginning soon after Z o'clock this
morning. President Diaz and the Cabinet
were virtually in continuous session all
day in the Presidents residence. Two or
three brief intermssons occurred. in
which Limantbur. De la Barra and other
ministers betoOk themselves hurriedly to
their Offices. returning to the Executive
Mansion after short intervals. Efforts
TO obtain information from them as to
the progress and possible result of their
deliberations were frutless.
All the ministers, especially De Ia
Barra and Limantour, manifested an APP
parent cheerfulness. in sharp contrast
TO what would be expected In the bear
ing Of group of men who are presum-
ably dealing with the elements Of a

liN iHt HesNNldteu TUE
Mexico City. May G.-Believing that
General Diaz had determined to accede
to the demand of Madero. thousands Of
residents of the capital were astounded
this afternoon to learn that the last mo-
ment of the armistice had passed with
out an agreement having been reached.
In the declaration of Madero that he
would resume hostiities they read the
answer of the President that he would
not yield his high position. Surprise felt
by the public was shared by officials.
Almost all of the residents had enter
tanned the hope that peace would be de-
clared
Tonight newsboys are finding it diff
cult TO supply the demand for papers
In the cafes the clubs. the theatres and
the streets men are eagerly seeking
news, and on every hand is heard the
query regarding intervention
Meanwhile the old soldier President
sits in his Office at his home in Cadena
street. grimly facing the most desper-
ate situation which has menaced Mckee
since he assumed control. more than
thirty years ago Army officers. mem
bers of his Cabinet and other high Off
Gals come and go. but from the Presi-
dent has come no word that he is willing
to announce his intention TO resign
Members OF his Cabne' refuse 10 dis
cuss the situation.
Minister Limantour and Minister de- la
Barra have had numerous conferences
with Diaz since yesterday noon. and il
may be assumed that Limantour. at
least, has urged the ACCESSIBILITY of yield
ing.
Proposed as he has been. for the Pro-
visiOnal Presidency. De la Barra declares
his position is too delicate for him to
talk for publication more than 10 say
hours after the breaking Of the armistice
that the government is waiting for
reply To the note sent to Judge Cara
baial.
But De la Barra is not yet without
hope tina. satisfactory agreement may
be effected. He does not believe that
Madero will persist in his determination
TO continue the war.
General Manuel Gonzales Cosio. Min
ister of War. is preparing for a resump-
ton Of hostilties on the assumption that
Madero will not long delay action

tomorrow TO give the government one
more chance. though without the for
malities of an armisticc

Oiaz Not Seriously III.

1t was reiterated officially to-day that
President Diaz's illness is not grave
enough to prevent him from taking an
active part in the affairs of government,
but was sufficient 10 render II advisable
for his physicians TO direct him 10 re
main al home Climatic conditions at
this time of the year in Mexico are es-
pecially trying to elderly persons. and
his medical attendants cOunselled the
President 10 run no unnecessary risks.
Government sources remained persist
entity silent all day on the subject Of the
rumored resignation of General Daz.
The policy seems TO have been adopted
of allowing the news of the situation and
the developments To come from the peace
conference at JuareZ. so il would not be
surprising 10 any one here that If the
President does retire the first tidings
would reach the capital in dispatches
from the north

Discussing Revised Peace Terms.
There is little doubt that the time Of
the Cabinet members to-day was de-
voted To a continuation of the discussion
Of the revised demands of the Maderists
and what the probable effect on the
country and political conditions would
be if Diaz decided To quit
At this writing all coniectures or state
ments respecting what Diaz will or will
not do may be set down as guesses pure
and simple. one opinion is as good as
another. and which seems To obtain most
credence from persons who are in po-
slton to know something of what is go
ing on and who are inclined To take
sane view Of the situation is that the
President may issue proclamation fix
ing the date when he will resign or else
leave the country and turn the Execu-
tive power over to the Nice-President.
I Alarmed by Intervention Reports.
FOREIGNERS here to-day were more con
cerned over the republication in the
vernacular press of alarming interven-
ton reports from American newspapers
than in the question of Diaz's intentions
or even the result Of the peace confer
ence. All sensible persons realize that
while conditions in the capital and
most other parts of the country are un-
settled there is now apparently only one
contingency in which the lives and prop
Crty of foreigners would be less secure
/ than at present. That contingency
hinges on Intervention. Should the ra bid
press and jinGO Congressman combine
To- commit the criminal folly of inter-
ycning i'm Mexican affairs without d
greater excuse than has thus far been
given or seems likely To he supplied i'm
the future. the Tribune correspondent
would he unwilling to vouch for the con-
sequences To Americans in the republic.
It is sufficient to say that whatever
anti-Amercan sentiment exists would

Two new pupils, Theodore az
 Lillian Harrell, brother and sister, have been received at the State school for the Blind for treatment and though they are HOW entirely void of sight, the physician of the institu- tion believes he can restore part al, if not the whole sight of both chii- dren. The children are the eldest of a large family of children, and until an accident in December, Theodore was the main support of h s widowed mother and the children. He was blowing stumps on the farm of his mother near Heb5r Springs, when a premature explosion filled his eyes with dirt and powder. The 17-year old boy was cared for by citizens cf

Pipkin at Little Rock.

w. NJ. Pipkin, a representative from Polk county. was one of the Thurs day leg slative arrivals. Nlr Pipllin was one of the Mena citizens who blocked the extension of the fran chise given the Kansas City South ern for railroad from Mena to Hot Springs. and is one of the promoters of a line to be built by citizens along this route. He states that the prop ositon is in splendid condition and he is confident the line will soon be under constructio Considerable of the right of way has already been do- mated by persons living along the route, or they have signified their intention of so doing. MT. Pipkin states that the promoters are work ing quietly With their plans to if nance the road, and have a number Of propositions from financiers, but none have been gone into with an in- tention of accepting them, because the officers believe n being cautious and waiting until the best possible proposition can be obtained. Mf. Pipkin is of the opin on that should a line be constructed to Hot Springs, it would not stop with western term mus at Mena, but be continued on to a connection with the Missouri, Kan sas X Texas, or to Oklahoma City. He says that it will take a Western eX- tension also to do Mena the justce such a good town deserves.

Board in Turmoil.

Again the Executive Board of the Confederate Soldiers Home is in a turmoil over little before hol day celebration pulled off by three of the inmates previous to the holidays and walked to Little Rock Here they found congenial friends who had money and the old fellows went home in the wee small hours of the mornin g happy to the extreme and wiling to agree with any one that this is a great old world to live in after all. Their jovial good nature awoke a good portion of the inmates, Supt, Swain among them. A report of the infraction of the rules was reported to the Board. which decided to hold another session to decide the punish ment, later in the week Two mem- bers of the Board,e are in favor of eX- pulsion, but the majority will prob ably vote to put the offenders un- der restraint for several weeks in stead. They argue that the old sol dier has little to live for at best, and an occasional good time will not do him physical or mental harm. They also state that should the old men be turned out they will be beggars on the street with sure death and and it would not be an act of charity to carry the prohibition spirit this far.
