REBELS NOT
SATISFIED
HOWEVER

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
MEXICO CITY, May s.-Presi-
dent Diaz and his cabinet today
are considering a revised draft of
his retirement manifesto which
checked the march of Madero
troops from Juarez to Mexico City.
No information as yet Is avail
able as to what changes will be
made In the documents before Its
contents are officially transmitted
to Madero. AS it stands the
manifesto promises a provision
preventing the reelection of q
president: free and universal suf-
|frage and reform of the judiciary
and the state government. 1t
reviews the rule of President Diaz
at length and promises that he
will retire when peace shall have
been restored, but reserves for
Diaz the right to determine for
himself when peace is reasonably
restored before laying down his
power.
This clause--the right to de-
termine when Diaz will retire--it
is feared, may prove a stumbling
block to peace Madero and hia
allies 1t is pointed out, may be
dubious about accepting this as
Sufficiently definite. 1t is believ-
ed that the cabinet today is URGING
IDiaz to give Madero, privately, II
necessary, some definite assurance
that the presidential retirement
will come within certain speci-
fed time. The fact that Diaz has
made one concession is taken as a
sign that he will assure Madero of
his sincerity and that the war wilt
end, some insurrecto leaders be-
lieve.
