FL Paso, Tex, Mar. 30.-All avail
able insurrectos in northern Mexico
are being concentrated west of Chi
huahua, according to the report re-
ceived here today. That there has
been no fighting recently about Chi
huahua is regarded as indicating the
many in the field believe the selection
of new cabinet an evidence of good
faith Of the government preparatory
to peace negotiations. However, the
concentration Of Madero's forces make
it possible that an immediate move

.MADERO APPROVAL
OF PEACE TERMS
Believed Father And Mother Of Leader
Have Plans, Backed Up BY AS
suranees From Capital.

El Paso. Tex, Mar Francisco
|. Madero, president of the insurrectos
and their leader IN the field, has not
been consulted about any peace terms
and no settlement of the war in Mex.
leo would be accepted without hfs
final word, which alone would BE- re-
garded as binding.
At present Madero, disregarding re-
cent political changes at Mexico City.
is arranging his me nabout chihuahua.

with view possibly or besieging the
city.
lnsurrecto leaders gave out this In
formation yesterday with the stipnla-
ton that II was intended to minimize
the assertions made by Francisco i.
Madero, Sr,, and Gustavo A. Madero
at San Antonio, Tex, that tentative
plans now being considered may re-
suit in peace within u month.
That Maderos father and brother
have some peace plans. backed up by
assurances from Mexico City, is not
that any action toward the settlement
of the war without full participation
by the insurrecto leader would not be
popular among the men now in arms.
The Maderos at San Antonio arc be-
lieved here to have gone to the from
tier with the express purpose OF get
ting into communication with Fran.
cisco Madero, Jr., and possibly of
meeting with him. Whether they would
venture into the interior by the way
of El Paso or by railroad to Chihua-
hua City via Eagle Pass Of Laredo,
Tex, is not known here, but a signifl-
cant statement made by the junta to-
day was that II the Maderos go into
Mexico II will be with the consent pf
the Mexican government This was
taken 10 indicate that Mexico city
is willing that any peace overtures
shall be presented to the insurrecto
leader.
From El Paso the trip to Madero
would require several days OF hard
travel, as all the railroads from here
south are destroyed. Madero is about
one days march west OF Chihuahua
City and 225 miles south OF Ell Paso.
The junta here has kept up as con-
tinuous communication with him as
was possible by courier service.
Madero thus far has been informed
Of all recent events, but II is not
known that he has received any late
advices from his father.

Representative Sloan Of the Fourth dis
/ trct, who arrived in Washington this
morning, coming in with Senator Craw-
ford OF South Dakota, said that he noticed
a very considerable change in sentiment at
home relative to Canadian reciprocity.
Early in the year sentiment was very
pronounced In favor of the agreement ne
gotiated with the Canadian commissioners
through the efforts of President Taft, but
as the scope of the pact became better
understood by farmers they began to see
new light and now many of them are out
spoken in opposition to the measure which
democrats will put through the house very
early in the session.
Mr.. Sloan says he will vote against the
measure when it comes before the house on
the ground that II attacks one of the
FUNDAMENTAL principles OF the republican
party, namely, protection. He is firm
believer in reciprocity, but thinks the pact
is entirely too one-sded to be supported by
one who represents a great farming dis
trict.
