The REBEL
DEMANDS
ARE MADE
Exact Terms on Which They
VIII Make Peace Given
Must Appoint Three Important
Cabinet Officers
Fall Of Juarez Has United the
lnSurrectoS

Juarez, Mexico, May 16.-Upon
whether the Mexican government will
grant to the insurgents permission to
name three members OF the cabinet
and the governors of fourteen of the
twenty seven Mexican states depends
the issue of restoring peace in Mexico.
This proposition, a slight modifica-
ton of the original demand which
called for a fourth portfolio in the
cabinet, Is the reply which will be
made today to the offer of the federal
government of one cabinet member and
ten governorships as the price Of
peace
The answer of the government is ex-
pected here tonight. Judge Carabajal
has authority to arrange peace on the
latter basis, but during his talk with
Provisional President Francisco 1.
Madero, last night, it was indicated to
him that the rebels must have at least
three portfolios and these should be
the all important posts of minister Of
war, minister of justice and minister of
generation, which has jurisdiction
over the interior state administrations
of Mexico.
Rebels Now United.
Chihuahua, Mex. via Ell Paso, May
16-News OF the fall of Juarez has
done much towards uniting all the
scattered bands Of the ,insurrectos in
the states of Senoral. Durango, Zacats-
cas- and Aguar Calientes. ENJOYS
from Madero have reached most Of
the insurrecto leaders in these states
with directions to place themselves
under the provisional presidents COM
mand.
No doubt exists here chat this city
is to be the next point of attack by
the insurrectos, At Santa Ysabel,
thirty miles west an Associated Press
correspondent found 800 insurrectos
who are regarded as the vanguard
of the attacking forces.
1t is believed they will be Joined
by 1000 insurrectos who are reported
to be marching north from Torreon
and who have already reached Esca-
Ion. Rec endorsements are also ex-
pected from Madero's camp at Juarez.
Rebels Riot.
Mexico City, Mex, May 16.-Rioting
and pillage occurred at Pachucat dur
ing the early hours of today following
the surrender of the city to the revolt
utionists. The rebels became drunk
and defied their commanders. The
towns people, in terror, barricaded
their homes and remained concealed.
The banks were dynamfted and loot
ed.
Nogales, Sonora, Mex, May 16-
Commandante Francisco Chiapas with
his 800 troops, one machine gun and
100 horses, taking advantages Of the
open communication to the south, slip
ped out of Nogales before dawn today
on a special troop train, bound for
Hermosillo or Guaymas.
This reduces the federal garrison in
Nogales to less than 400 men under
General Pedro Ojeda. Although the
federals are still entrenched in the
hills to the south and east the indica-
tions are that they are preparing to
give up Nogales without a determined
struggle. The federal wires are cut
to Cananea and all points to the
southeast including Montezuma.
