Juarez, May 11.-Mexico's provis-
ional government was established to-
day by the naming of the following
cabinet by Madero: DR.. Gomez, min
lister of foreign relations; Gustavo
Madero, of finance; Venustiano Car
rama, of war; Gonzalez Cara, of the
interior; Pine Suarez, of justice; Juan
Sanchez Azcona, secretary to presi-
dent. and also the establishment of the
provisional capitol at Juarez.
Remarkable quiet prevails. There
are a few cases of looting. Insurrec-
tos are guarding against an attack by
Col. Rabago, who is reported approach
ing from Chihuahua.
The revolutionists today are the con-
querors in a town which is the most
important capture of the revolution,
not only because of the fact that it is
port of entry to the United States
and the insurrectos believe that in the
next twenty -four hours food and sup
plies will be crossing to them unmo-
Tested, but because they now are in
possession of about $50, 900 rounds Of
field pieces, about 700 Mauser rifles,
and enough ammunition belts and
other fighting sundries to wage furious
warfare for some time to come.
FLUSHED WITH VICTORY.
The revolutionists are flushed with
victory and some of them are eager to
pursue the flight with increasing vigor
throughout Mexico until the capital of
the republic shall have, fallen. But
conservative rebel leaders are hoping
that the bloody battle of Juarez will
be the last chapter Of the military
side of the revolution.
Having demonstrated their strength
in the field. they now wish to turn
their attention to the arguments of

ready &c listeh. to propositions from
the government and today Seniors
Braniff and Obregon, go-betweens, are
feeling the opinion of insurrecto chiefs
as to the best way for re-opening
peace negotiations.
Comfortably lodged in their new
provisional capital, the taking of
which the rebels declare will make
prospects Of recognition by foreign
powers much brighter, the rebel politi-
cal leaders today conferred with Cen
eral Madero and revised the demands
made upon President Diaz' government
before the battle.
They are Strengthening them some
what and will continue to insist on a
real participation in governmental af-
fairs and such privileges as the naming
of men from their party for governors
in fourteen states and four portfolios
in the cabinet.
The attitude of the rebels on the
question of the resignation of General
Diaz hardly has crystalized yet. DR..
Vasquez Gomez, one Of the rebel peace
commissioners, declared today 1t was
still the paramount consideration
| about which all prospects for peace
hinged. The rebels take the stand that
their demand that General Diaz make
public his intention of resigning has
been met with such a vague and
! y kI.zA
mand the fixing Of an exact time for
his retirement.
With reference to the contention OF
the government that characterization In
! the rebel ranks provoked the attack on
Juarez and that General Madero was
not in command of his soldiers, the
rebels openly charge trickery on the
part of the government to disseminate
the opinion that a state of anarchy is
prevalent in the republic and that
, therefore 1t would be fatal for Cen
eral Diaz to abdicate under such cir
cumstances. The rebels maintain on
the other hand in their demands they
are asking merely for steps toward 9
general readjustment Of the admins
! tration OF the republic and they believe
the automatic transfer Of the power to
their own political party soon will fol-
low.
In having publicly announced that
they would consent to the naming OF
| Foreign Minister de la Barra for the
all important post of provisional pres
ident, DR.. Gomez, for instance, con-
tends that the rebels have practically
consented to a continuation in power
of the present government WITHOUT
