Juarez, Mex May Is. = Peace in
Mexico will be signed by Saturday, ac-
licording to the almost unanimous opin-
ion of General Madero's advisers to-
day. The negotiations progressed to-
day justifying the prediction of the
end of strife and that the signing of
the peace pact would be followed on
Monday by the formal resignation of
President Diaz.
Francisco l. Madero, Jr., today an
nounced the news from Mexico City,
regarding Diaz, offer to resign was so
entirely satisfactory to him that it
might be universally proclaimed that
peace throughout Mexico is now an
accomplished fact. Madero will ac-
cept the offer to go to Mexico City to
act as chief adviser to the minister of
foreign relations, De La Barra, who
Twill become president ad interim. AS
the date for the withdrawal of Diaz
has been fixed for June 1, it will not
be necessary for the insurrectos to in
stitute provisional governors or pro-
visional members of the cabinet for
the intervening twelve days. The fact
that Madero will act with Minister De
La Barra in the reorganization of the
government will be accepted as suffi-
cient guarantee of the success of the
revolution.
Mexico City, May 1S.-During the re-
Icent diplomatic exchanges between the
government and revolutionists, which
resulted yesterday in the proffered res
igation of Diaz, the government draft
ed a new election law for submission
to congress. Under it the national
executive is to be elected for seven
years by an absolute majority of the
lpeople. Heretofore the Mexican ma
tional government has conducted the
elections through the local mayors,
who presided at polls and counted the
votes. Thus the government was ac-
cused of fraud.
Mexico City, May 18.-President
Diaz and Vice President Carroll will
resign before June l.
Minister Of Foreign Relations Da La
Barra will become president ad in
terim.
Francisco l. Madero, the revolution
airy leader, will be called to Mexico
City to act as De La Barra's chief adj
wiser, and will be guaranteed that
every pledge made by the government
will be carried out AS viewed by the
public, it will be virtually a joint pres
idency, pending the calling of a new
presidential election.
The cabinet will be reorganized. The
minister of war will be named by De
La Barra. The foreign office will be
in charge of a sub-secretary named by
him. Other cabinet members will be
chosen by him and Madero jointly.
A new election will be called within
six months.
Political amnesty will be recon-
mended to the chamber of deputies.
These are the conditions upon which
President Diaz will compromise. Vir.
tually they are admitted in high quar-
ters to be surrender to the revolu.
tionists.
The resignation of Diaz and the
Joint regency" of De La Barra and
Madero are said to constitute a guar.
antee so complete that the original
insurrecto demand for fourteen gov.
ernors no longer needs be considered
The cabinet was in almost continu.
GUS session two days, despite the Sc
we're illness of President Diaz. The
presidents entire face is affected from
an liberated tooth. His upper lip is
swollen far beyond its normal size
and his face is inlamed He showed
fever yesterday, but this symptom
was eliminated yesterday. He speaks
with the greatest difficulty, but while
he is in severe pain his condition is
not alarming at this time despite his
advanced age.
The governments conditions were
photographed to Judge Carabajal yester.
day, with instructions to sub
nit them to General Madero. If they
are accepted, which is regarded as
certain, an amistice covering entire
Mexico will be agreed upon. Iinas-
much as the government believes 1t
has made every concession that the
! fevolutionists have requested it is
