Juarez, Mexico, May 23.-TranQuility
# an officially declared variety, not I'M
ike the quietude of the erstwhile gem
raj armistice, but possessing more of
he normal atmosphere of real peace,

irst time in six months. Messages are
being flashed today over all wires and
ny courier to remote parts OF the coun-
Try announcing that last night a peace
agreement definitely ended the HOSTILE
les between the revolutionists and the
FEDERAL government.
Undisguised JOY beamed In the face
If Judge Carbajal, the federal peace
Envoy, today, as he prepared 10 depart
.or Mexico City, his mission here being
accomplished after nearly four weeks
If parley. Francisco l. Madero Jr., tri-
Imphant leader of the revolt, sat in his
house in the outskirts of the town,
content and happy, receiving scores of
,ongratulatory kilograms on the sue
:ess of the movement he initiated. He
will now await the resignation OF the
President Diaz, starting for Mexico
City within week when ii is expected
10 become an established fact.
Senior Madero smiled this morning
Is he heard the story of how the peace
agreement was signed last night. Along
With their Joyous manifestations over
he signing of the peace agreement,
ais callers told and retold the humor-
pus side lisht that was thrown on the
signing of a document calculated to
have the most far reaching effect for
Mexico.
The Closing Incidents.
Francisco Madero, ST., had called on
Judge Carba1al at Ell Paso about $3.50
o'clock last night and, after a tedious
half hour wait for Senior Pine Suarez,
the party started for Juarez in a big
H,N1 lit, GrNn TnE
previously had gone to the customs
house here.
When the peace automobile, followed
by three machines filled with news
papermen, dashed up to the customs
house shortly after 10 o'clock, neither
Senior Suarez nor any one else was
there to receive them. The customs
house door was safely barred by
huge grating. Senior Suarez failed to
appear, and after a brief conference, IL
vas decided as the document already
had been drafted, to sign the pact on
the steps of the building, agreeing to
allow Senior Suarez to sign 1t today.
There under the stars typewriter cop
es of the peace agreement were signed
and exchanged while four automobiles
On the opposite side of the street
turned their glaring searchlights upon
The customs house steps. The news
2apermen contributed their hard pads
and some matches and huddled to-
gether to keep the matches from being
sxtinguished by the evening breeze.
Signed by Match Light.
II was Francisco Madero, sr. s foun-
ain pen that was used, and in watch
ing the commissioners slowly scrawl
heir names under the agreement, one
IF the bystanders forgot the burning
match he held and nearly spoiled one
If the signatures when he suddenly
dropped the match while the pact was
seing signed. The commissioners en-
oyed the humor Of the situation and
Declared that never was a peace treaty
signed under more extraordinary condi-
tions.
When It was all over they embraced
n true Spanish fashion, reaching over
each others shoulders and clapping
The palms of their hands on their re-
Spectiye spines. The commissioners ex-
pressed great relief that the task for
which they so long had labored had
been accomplished without the intro
luction of disagreeable conditions, and
without injuring the national prestige
,r dignity of their country.
Disturbances Not Expected.
Though the peace agreement pro-
rides for the gradual dispensing of
the troops, IL is not believed any coun-
ter reyolts, or disturbances will occur.
me OBJECT Oh the BEduudl ulsDdhulhS
Of the iIlsurrectos, 1t is explained, Is
20 maintain for a short time good
lighting force by which to keep order
among the small scattered bands who
night feel inclined TO disregard the
peace agreement.
Trouble Is anticipated with the rebels
n Lower California. Though the in
surrectos there have never been allied
with the Madero movement, the rebel
chiefs here will send ENJOYS or mes
sages urging the acceptance of the con-
litions agreed upon here. Should they
.efuse, an armed exhibition, which
probably will be led by Pascual Orozco,
will be sent to subdue them.
Senior Madero In his victory feels that
le will now be responsible for the res
soration of complete tranquility. and
viii attempt to demonstrate that If he
8 not in control of some bands, he at
east can subjugate them.
