 Need Not Retire Now
 President Diaz could remain in power
 until complete tranquility is restored; the
 revolutionists have no objection to that. They themselves haye notifng psrsonai.
 they say, against the aged executive and
 are willing that he retire decorously so
 as to permit of new administration and complete change of policy in the repub- lie, which has been their basic conten- ton.
 | To reinforce the effect of the change in the cabinet second proposition Is under consideration. which, however, will cause 1 little difficulty as it already had been tentatively agreed upon in previous par leys--that is to allow the revolutionists to name the governors of 14 of the 27 states. This will strengthen the all important guarantees which the revolutionists have been clamorng for. The change in the cabinet, of course, is placed above all other propositions by the rebels as they consider reorganization of that body means practical overhauling of the fed eral government, with which they declare the primary struggle has been. With the acceptance by the federal government of these propositions, which are considered principal and pre-re- quisite. arrang gements will be made for a general amistice throughout Mexico. It is true that Provisional President Ma dero was considering today the move ment of a large part of his forces south ward to meet General Rabago, who is reported today to be moving northward on Juarez with about 1000 federal troops but as communication along the railroad line, which is to convey the troops Is now open, orders can be given at any minute for cessation of hos tilitics.

 Provisional President Madero talked for long time with his military ad- wiser, General Viljoen, the Boer, who has joined his staff, concerning a plan for mobilizing his troops in Chihuahua, but the rebel chief admitted that he had in mind also the possibility of peace plans being arrahged soon. In event of peace being declared the efforts of the provisional government tc rehabilitate the state governments in Chihuahua and Sonora will not be in vain, as these are two of the IA states where the rebels will be allowed to name governors and 1t is believed sec retaries of state also. The provisional government has ordered the reconstruc- ton of the railroad and telegraph lines
