Mexican Peace EnvOys Be- gin Gathering at Ell
 PasO, Tex.
REBELS DISSATISFIED
 WITH DIAZ MESSAGE
It Is Despite Presidential Message and Not Because of It That Peace Negotiations Are Proceed
 ing-Diaz Must Go

Fl Paso, Tex, April 2.-Mexican peace rumors revived tonight with the arrival here of Francisco I. Madero, ST., and AL fonso Madero. father and brother of the Mexican insurreetor president, of Roque Estrada lawyer of Mexico City, and of Rafael Hernandez. They came from san Antonio and went at once to their hotel.
 To reporters the two Maderos refused to mako any statements. Asked if he had come here on mission of peace the senior Madero said:
 Perhaps so. I will tell you later"
 Replying to a question as to when he had last seen his son, Francisco, the rebel leader, he said:
 q have not seen him since he left San Antonio three months ago or more'
 Gonzales earza, insurrecto secretary of state, met the two Maderos and accom- panied them to their hotel, where con- ference began at once. For some time Graza had been declaring that he did not believe in the peace rumors.
 So far as can be learned there are no representatives here of the federal gov ernment. The local insurrecto. junta is supposed to be in communication by cour fer with Francisco Madero, who Is with the army near Chihuahua
 San Antonio, Texas, April 2--As fore- casted last Tuesday, the first steps looking to the restoration of peace in Mexico are proceeding with all possible speed.
 Francisco I. Madero. Sr., Alfonso Ma dero, Lie Estrada and Hernandez Con gales will arrive at Fl Paso tonight Gonzales 1t was stated today by Juan Sanchez Azcona. member of the junta, is the representative of Minister Li- mantour. Senor Azcona emphasized the statement that the Fl Paso programme is of necessity informal. locking to the bringing about of a real and bind ing conference of representatives to be appointed by either side if the present negotiations succeed. Lie Estrada Is a lawyer and a member of the junta. His home is in Mexico at Mazatlan.
 Senor Azcona stated that che deiega tion named will wait at Fl Paso, if they go into Mexico at all, for passports giv- ing them the fullest assurances of safe ty and freedom on their mission. It may not be necessary for them to leave American soil in case Francisco I. Ma dero, the younger, has dgested Liman- tours tentative proposal and it is hoped has already dispatched a messenger from his camp to Fl Paso.
 It may, however, De necessary TOT the negotiations. even after the receipt of letter, to secure a personal interview should the correspondence fail to be full and explicit Should the trip into Chihuahua be made automobiles will be used over the direct route from El Paso the railroad being out of commits sion. This is quicker means than via Laredo, Monterey and Torreon to the city of Chihuahua. an aggregate distance of more than 800 miles while the direct route is about 15o.
 Message Unsatisfactory
 Members. of the junta today reiterated in a general way their comments on President Diaz's message to Congress as being unsatisfactory. It makes no direct reference to any real move on the governments part to secure peace. In fact. 1t is held rather to minimize the importance of the revolt Import ant reforms are advocated but the pressure of the revolutionists in secur- ing them is not recognized. The insur- rectos hold that Diaz must do more than his message promises He must resign and new election h cid.
 It is despite the presidential mes gage, and by no means because of it, that the preliminary negotiations are proceeding. Senor Azcona declared like others of the junta. that should formal and binding negotiations be held they must be held on neutral soil, as were those between Russia and Japan, and that their contents must be made public on neutral soil. This is a detail of the recognition which the revolution fists claim as their right.
 The Associated Press interview se- cured with Don Francisco, Jr., in the field west of Chihuahua was read with interest. It was accepted as definite statement by the rebel leader of his demands-the basis for any negotia- tions of a formal character.
 Washington. April 2--Pointing out that the message of President Diaz to the Mexican congress endorses the de- mands of the Mexican revolutionists, Dr. vasquez Gomez head of the con fidential agency of the insurrectos, to- night issued a statement suggesting two solutions to the trouble in Mex leo.
 In his analysis of the message of President Diaz Dr. Gomez said heI found much encouragement to the cause of the revolutionists.
 His statement Is in part as follows: General Diaz's message to congress Is very interesting because at the bot tom 1t adnitr that the revolution is a just one and has for it's object the lettering of political and social con ditions In Mexico For this reason am more than ever firmly convinced that the revolutionary party will short
 
 admits that the country must not be governed Indefinitely by the same group of men, notwithstanding what may be their personal merits and as General Diaz has been in power for 34 years the revolutionists will stand for him no longer
 No Reelection Conceded
 In the second place the message contesses that non-re- election of public officers elected by popular vote merits the administrations heartiest support. That is to say that the fulfillment of the slogan no reelection adopted by the revolutionary party, is national necessity. 'In the third place General Diaz says that in order to avoid long tenure in office of certain public officers. it is ir- dispensable to revise the electoral laws, so as to insure the electoral activity of all citizens capable of voting. There fore the principle of effective suf- frage advanced by the revolutionists is logical because 1t has for its object the betterfnent of the political status of the Mexican people.
 General Daz makes two important confessions:
