FL Paso, Tex, April 22.-Mem-
bers of the peace commission to-
night declared that the revolution
in Mexico is as good as ended. Gen.

able reply from the City of Mexico
is regarded as a foregone conclu-

of the official orders. released the
three American prisoners, Blass,
Converse and Brown. from the Jua-
req Jail, where they have been con-
fined for eight weeks for participant

! his statement earlier give to the
American Press, that he does not in
sist upon the resignation of Presi-
dent Diaz as essential to negotia-
lions for peace. Thus the keynote
of the arch of opposition to end the
revolution dropped from its place.
Gen. Madero said all he will in
sist upon in addition to the reforms
already instituted is that the people
of Mexico shall have a square
deal" as provided in the Constitu-
ton. Members of the commission
returned to FL Paso highly elated.

the rebel commander were not Civ
en- out, but it is known that many
facts hitherto unknown to Gen.
Madero were poured into his atten-
tive ears. He has, it is said, been
almost in complete ignorance or
what was going on in the outside
world for more than month. Ow-
ing to the stoppage Of railroad
trains, few newspapers reached his
