 An authoritative admission was ob tafned that the negotiations today were concerned with the place at which the meeting of official peace envoys shall be held. While the admission was not made that the envoys have been ap- pointed the inference was plain that they have been decided upon by both sides, even though the actual appoint ments perhaps have not been made.
 It is said the appointment of en- voys was not contemplated at first, but the first exchanges in code by tele- graph over the uncertain Mexican wires proved so cumbersome and slow that the necessity for personal conference speedily became apparent. It required II hours last night to decipher one long code message.
 There is no doubt that the armistice which expires next Friday will be ex- tended as necessary to allow for the ar rival at the selected meetings place, possibly Fl Paso, of the special peace commissioners and of the responses from the rebel leaders to whom Gen eral Madero has sent invitations to visit him.
 Things Are Delicate

Reyes. 1t is said, does not desire the presidency and is regarded as the most loyal among President Dtaz'S fOlloWerS. Ills lnnuence with the army is greater than that of any other man. The soldiers love him. for he has always stood their friend. Among the people a promise from Gen eraf Reyes is as good as an accomplish ment. To him. 1t Is believed, will be en- trusted the holding of state and municipal elections.
 Not Yet Approved Mexico City. April 24.-That the armls- tice agreed upon by Francisco I. Madero for the rssolutionists and General Ma yarro for the federals has not yet been approved by the government and will not be approved until after the arrival here of a messenger with documents containing 8 the proposed terms. was the declaration of high government officials today. Only careful study of the proposed draft of an agreement exchanged by the two commanders yesterday will formal ratification be made.
