NO MESSAGE rs
SENT TO TAFT
Special Meeting Called For
That Purpose, Fails to
Take Action.

The chamber of commerce will send
no message to the president about the
situation across from Ell Paso. 1t was
decided at a special meeting Saturday
afternoon that no message would be
sent to president Taft at this time. as
the military and civil authorities in
FL Paso and at Fort Bliss are keeping
to the true condition here on the bor-
der and it was decided that such a
message at this time would not be
advisable.
The meeting was called Saturday at
the request Of president J. G. McNary
and director J. A. Happier. The sug-
gestion was first made by director
Happier Saturday morning. He said
that in view of the fact that the trou-
BILE had taken place in Aqua Prieta
at the risk of American property in
Douglas. immediate and urgent action
should be taken by the FL Paso cham
Der of commerce to notify the presi-
dent Of the condition on this border
and to request that more troops be
sent here.
The matter was taken up with presi-
dent J. G. McNary at the First Ma
tional bank and he agreed with Mr..
Happier that such action should be
taken at once and announced that a
special meeting would be held Satur
day afternoon to take such action. He
said he would notify secretary Kline
to have a full directory present at the
meeting and that a telegram would be
prepared to be sent to the president.
At the meeting it was decided that
the situation did not demand such
urgent action and it was voted to leave
the matter to the military and civil
authorities here and at Fort Bliss, as
such a request might cause an exag-
gerated view Of the situation to be
taken in the east, where the conditions
are not fully understood.
A committee appointed TO secure
additional target practice. grounds
near Hueco Tanks was appointed. J.
a. Happier was made chairman of this
committee and trip will be made by
auto TO Hueco Tanks to inspect the
site of the proposed new range, which
will be a part of the regimenta1 post
if it can be secured.
Five new members were admitted
to membership in the chamber. They
were Adrian Pool. Dr.. ]. w. Yard, E.
I. Peyton. Great Western Oil company
and the Palace stables.

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS WITH DIAz
TEMPORARILY STAY FIGHT NEAR JUAREZ

A final ultimatum has been made
to president Diaz by Dr. Francisco
Vasquez Gomez. head of the Mexican
revolutionary junta in Washington
Notice of this ultimatum was sent to
Francisco L. Madero, provisional pres
ident, at Guzman Saturday night.
through the Ell Paso junta, with the
advice that the insurrecto army cease
fighting until an answer could be re-
ceived from president Diaz at Mexico
City The couriers bearing this infor-
nation left Ell Paso Saturday night
and the fact that fighting ceased sun
day has caused the FL Paso junta to
oeLeYe that the messages were received
and the advice of DR.. Gomez needed.
Easter Day of Peace.
Sunday-Easter Sunday-was a day
Of peace in northern Mexico, after the
battle OF Bauche Saturday. The ces-
sation of fighting by the fnsurrectos
at and near Bauche the local tunta
thinks, may be the result of a number
Of messages sent to Francisco L Ma
Zero at Guzman- by DR.. Francisco Vas
quez Gomez, in charge of the reyolu-
t1onary jUnta in Washington. These
messages, which are supposed to con-
tam news Of an ultimatum which had
been presented to Diaz, were sent
through the FL Paso junta by cour-
1ers who are thought to have reached
the insurrecto ranks and maybe Ma
dero's headquarters, at Guzman, late
Saturday night and to have caused the
withdrawal Of the rebel troops from
the vicinity of Bauche to wait until
the time limit of the ultimatum ex-
pired. Whether Madero is as close as
Guzman is not certain.
What this ultimatum was, its exact
terms, the Mexican junta here refuses
to divulge- Further than to admit
that 1T referred to important conces-
sions by Diaz. Federico Gonzales

Cara, at the head of the Ell PasO
junta, refused to discuss the contents
of the important messages which were
transmitted through his office. The
couriers were sent out late Saturday
night and should have reached Madero
before daybreak, the time set for the
advance on Juarez.
Final Rebel Offer.
It is believed that the uitimatum was
a final one, proposed by DR. Gomez as
a final overture to the federal govern
ment before the attack upon Juarez
was made That the move had re-
ceived serious consideration at Mexico
City is indicated by the fact that the
fighting has not been resumed south
of Juarez. Tt is also probale that
president Taft's attitude regarding
further battles on the border has
played an important part in the latest
move Of the two armies in the game
of human checkers. No assurances
have been received at the junta that
the couriers reached their destination,
but it is the belief Of Secretary Cara
that they made the trip successfully.
The failure of the rebel army to move
on Juarez Sunday is taken as evidence
of this fact.
courier returned from the front
Saturday night and reported that the
fighting at Bauche had ceased. The
junta was also informed that MaderO's
force, including Villa BlancO, OrozcO.
Garibaldi and Raul Madero and their
commands had withdrawn in the direc-
ton of Guzman because of the scarcity
of water near Bauche.
Carrier Pigeon Returns.
One of the carrier pigeons which
were taken to Madero's camp to carry
messages between the Mexican junta
and Madero's camp, returned Sunday
morning, but the contents of the mas
sage which it carried were not divulged
