Optimistic Feeling Now Prevails
at JuareZ.

Juarez, May 15.-Indirect assurances
that the federal government is inclined
to accept the propositions submitted
unofficia1ly within the last two days
by the instructors for the establish
ment of peace were received here today
by Rafael Hernandez, one of the go
betweens in the negotiations. The gov
ernment is believed to be ready to re-
organize the cabinet and give the In
surrectos four members out OF eight
and to allow the revolutionists to name
outright II governors of q states and
by mutual agreement select the re-
naming Is governors.
More definite advices giving the at
titude of the government are expected
before the day is over. Optimism over
probable success of the peace parleys
now taking place by telegraph with
Mexico Cit prevails today.
1t is not believed that Colonel
Rabago, who last night was reported to
be marching on Juarez will provoke
anxiety at this time though the insur-
rectos are taking no chances and are
preparing to meet him. Some reports
have it that Rabago, Villas and Ter
razas are not far from Chihuahua and
a weeks march from here awaiting or
ders.
The belief exists that the federal gov
ernment will not in that case send him
marching order in view of the probable
success of the present negotiations.
FL Paso Is Hopeful.
Ell Paso, May 15.-The end of the
revolution in Mexico seems near
Judge Carbajal. federal peace commits
sioner, this morning received tele-
graphic instructions from Mexico City
to proceed with peace negotiations
along the lines proposed by Rafael
Hernandez yesterday and carried ir
last nights Associated Press dispatches
and based upon Madero's demands.
The telegram to Judge Carbajal is
believed to. be signed by President Diaz
himself and it is rumored contains q
the propositions suggested. Withou'
doubt formal peace negotiations will
be Immediately resumed.
Shortly after the receipt of the mes
sage from Mexico City, Judge Caraba-
jaI got into communication with DR.
Vasquez Gomez, confidential agent Of
Madero, and the latter was informed
of the receipt of the message and its
nature. Steps were taken at once to
resume in a formal manner the
negotiations for peace interrupted ten
days ago and it now seems probable
that before night representatives of the
revolutionists and of the federal gov
ernment will take up the problem of
restoring peace to their unhappy coun-
try.
The message from Mexico City was
very long and partly in cipher and Its
translation required some time. 1t is
known, however, that the demands OF
the revolutionists upon which theil
proposition for resumption of peace
negotiations were based were taken uI
in detail and from the guarded ano
pleased expressions of Judge Carbaja
| il is manifest that the message was
! ANYTHING but unfavorable in tone. Ar
air of relief was evident indeed, botf
among the revolutionist leaders and
representatives of the federal govern
