The insurgent leaders we're in confer
ence this morning, framing their peace
proposals Looming up large is the ques-
ton OF the resignation Of President Diaz
and how 1t should be handled. There

President Diaz eventually intends 10 re-

that the appearance of a forced resgna-
ton would have disqueting effect on

II the irsurgent leaders, however. can
be assured that President Diaz will re-
tire Immediately after peace negotiations
are completed it is considered probable
that they will assent to the informal ar
rangements Much will depend. how

the leaders here intend 10 send to other
