cation with Madero and has acquaint-
ed Madero with what negotiations
have been carried on in Washington
and New York looking to a settlement.
Francisco Madero is looked upon as
the revolutionary president and as
representing the will of the insurrec-
tos and no peace plans will be entered
into until he has given his consent and
fully gone over the details.
Madero Is about 100 miles south OF
FL Paso surrounded by about 1000 of
his followers. He is reported to be
coming northward to be joined en-
route by General Orosco with 500
men. Whether his destination is the
frontier in connection with any peace
negotiations is not known. Communi-
cation with Madero has been dililcul'
it requiring three or four days for a
courier to reach the frontier.

authorized to conclude any armistlce,

thority because he represents the viii
