Mexico City, May l7-If the hopes

an armistice win be announced before

his belief, win mean peace.
Finance Minister Limantour was not
quite so sanguine as his colleague in

peace agreement, but among the de-
mands of the rebels are some contrary
to the dignity of the government and

mantour believed that peace would be
arranged, Should the present negotia
tions fail, it is regarded here as not at
all unlikely that the city win be cut off

by one hundred ruralea and state troops
