Juarez, Mex, May 12.-The provi-
sional government Of Mexico made
sueh progress with its work of organi-
zation today 1t Is believed the states
Of Chihuahua and Sonora will be
completely administered by its state
and municipal officers within few
days.
The establishment of garrisons in
various places in northern Mexico, the
installation of local officials, the
opening of all railway and telegraph
lines is being accomplished by direc-
ton of Provisional President Francis.
co l. Madero and his cabinet.
Though nothing was done today by
the officials of the provisional gov
ernment respecting peace negotiations,
the fact that there is deadlock over
procedure became more and more
pronounced. The federal government
and the provisional government are
standing their distance, each waiting
for the other to make the first move.
The insurrectos contend that Judge
Carbaial suspended the negotiations
after they had submitted proposition
asking General Diaz to announce his
intention of rosigning. Now that
President Diaz has done that, though
the insurrectoe claim ii was uohe in
a vague and diffident manner, the
insurrectos are awaiting some word
from Judge Carbajal, who has main
tanned the status quo, not having re-
ceiyed any instructions to do other
wise, but the unofficial go-betweens
are again busy in an effort to bring
the two sides together. They expect
ed to get an audience with Provision
al President Madero today, but We're
not successful. Tomorrow, ii is ex-
pected he will listen to what Is be-
lievcd to be their new argument.
Having dissolved their original
peace commission of three, the rebels
now may conduct their peace negotia-
lions through their newly organized
department of foreign relations, of
which DR.. Vasquez Gomez is secretary.
CLEAN of hope for peace is contain
ed in the fact that some rebel leaders
have declared that they would be Will
ing to accept General Diaz manifesto
as sufficient evidence OF his intention
10 resign, and go ahead with peace
negotiations, provided the govern
ment consented to the immediate ap-
pointment of governors for fourteen
Of the twenty-seven states and a
gradual transfer of power into the
hands of the revolutionist party. What
viii come of this plan is not known,
but it is said to be favored by prom
inent insurrecto leaders, and with the
question of General Diaz' resignation
eliminated. progress toward peace is
certain to be made. On the other
hand some insurrecto leaders believe
the military successes Of the insur-
rectos soon will include Mexico City,
where the provisional government Will
be moved, and that submission at this
time hardly would afford as complete
a transfer of political power as would
follow military triumph. 1t is point
ca out that the rebel chiefs in the
south would consent to nothing but
immediate abdication of General Diaz,
yet authentic advices on this point are
lacking.
The provisional government, by
taklng possession of the customs
