fBy Morning Journas special Leased wire,

Juarez, Mex, May 2i,-Most sig
nificant of the hundreds of kilograms
that were received today by Francisco
|. Madero. Jr., the rebel leader. from
chiefs in all parts of Mexico congratu-
lating him on the triumph of the
revolutionary cause, was message
from Ambroslo Figueroa, leader of the
rebels III the immediate vicinity of the
capital. The telegram is regarded
here as convincing proof that Madero
now controls all the rebels in Mexico
and that they will abide by the peace
agreement he has made. 1t says:
"Ygula, State of Guerrero. May 20,
1911.
Francisco /. Madero, Ciudad Juarez,
Chihuahua.
81 congratulate you on the triumph
of the cause. | am participating in
triumphant revolution In this state
and have named as provisional gov
ernor Francisco Figueroa. The army Of
orders (SignedD
"AMBROSIO FIGUEROA."
Other messages of felicitation pour
ed in at the Madero headquarters
from military chiefs and Senor Ma
dero in explaining the nature Of them
said that not one showed discordant
note.
IF there still is military activity
anywhere" he declared. ''it Is be-
cause news of the peace agreement
has not reached everywhere yet. An
those chiefs with whom we had d.
rect communication have ceased hos.
tilities."
One of the insurrecto chiefs said
that the rebel leaders In remote parts
Of the republic might doubt the au-
thenticlty Of the news OF the peace
agreement which may have reached
them through unofficial channels and
likewise that even telegrams announc-
ing such fact might be received with
suspicion as being O deceiving scheme
on the part of the enemy. Messages
are being carried now, however. by
trusted envoys and the belief prevails
here that the organized revoiutionlsts
will obey Madero and lay down their
arms.
Jorge Vera Estanol, acting minister
of bogernacion (interior administra-
tion) at Mexico City, suggested In a
telegram to Senior Madero today that
the "ex-revolutionist forces place
themselves under the orders of the
federal government in fighting ban
dts and robbers but Senior Madero re-
piled that such a course was inn
practicable until he arrived in Mexi-
co City and could give the necessary
orders.
The revolutionlst leaders are inclin-
ed TO go about falling in line with the
federal government until Senior de
La Barra finally is In power and Sc
nor Madero is in Mexico City with
him. Though the resignation of Presi-
dent Diaz and Vice President Corral
Ia expected tomorrow, according 10
official announcement. the federal OF
ficers captured in the battle of Juarez
we're informed today that when Presl-
dent Diaz resigned they would be lib
Grated.
Telegrams exchanged between the
acting minister Of gobernacion and
Senior Madero today follow;
Having agreed upon definite ces-
sation of hostilities 1t would be APP
propriate to the national welfare that
the Revolutionary forces place
themselves at the orders of the con-
stituted authorities and the military
chiefs. creating an enormous military
force to the army in prosecuting evil
doers and bandits and maintaining
public safety. ! beg Of you to reply X
YOU are In accord and case you affirm
please communicate such instructions
TO the Revolutionary forces as rap
idly as possible. The secretary or
war will give instructions that thev
be paid wages.
JORGE VERA ESTANOL,
"The Minister Of Gobernacion."
Senior Madero's reply was:
"Juarez. May "a, 1911
Jorge Vera Estano,
Mexico City.
'Your idea, though logical, presents
serious practical difficulties which can
alone be overcome when ! am In the
capital. But / am giving various In
structions to insurgent chiefs to prose-
cute bandits as well as other chiefs
who do not respect the agreement
for the cessation of hostilitles.
'FRANCISCO /. MADERO.'
Through Judge Carbajal, the tedef-
al government made representations
TO Senior Madero concerning alleged
violations Of the peace agreement.
Senior Madero asked for specific IN
formation and will repeat Instructions
whenever necessary that hostillties be
terminated.
one telegram that was discouragihg
to Senior Madero, however. came from
delegation OF business men In the
city of Guadalajara, In the state OF
,JalIsco. telling OF the massacre OF
over score OF residents and the
wounding of double that number WITH
In the last three days by federal sol
diers because the people celebrated
the signing Of the peace agreement.
They appealed to Senior Madero for
relief. suggesting the immediate re-
moval of the governor Of the state
