Mexico City, March 90. - With a
warning to all Mexicans that with
every day the rebellion continues the
danger of international complications
increases. plea TO them to rally to
the support of General Diaz, and a
declaration that the government never
can enter into peace negotiations with
individuals in arms. Finance Minister
Lmantour today entered upon the
task of pacification which the world,
at least. has set for him and in the
outcome of which the world is inter-
ested.
Mr.. Limantour called upon the
president at the national palace late
this afternoon. The meeting was cor
dial in the extreme, the two old-time
friends shaking hands and embracing
repeatedly.
Then followed a conference lasting
more than an hour at which no other
person was present. At Its conclusion
Senior Limantour said only generali-
ties were discussed.
The special car in which he trav-
eled from New York reached here at
10 o'clock. Hundreds, among whom
were many officials and a sprinkling
of women, were on hand to greet the
travellers and with the salutations of
many persons. friends ,and the read
ing of addresses of welcome by rep
resentatives of various bodies. the
shouting of "Vivas" by the crowd, the
reception was a high tribute to the
minister's popularity. President Diaz's
greeting was conveyed through one OF
his official family. the meeting be-
tween the two most talked of men in
the republic having been deferred
until later.
The ovation over Senior Limantour
and the members of his family went
by automobile to the Limantour home
in Mixcoac, where later the minister
received representatives of the press.
Senior Limantour said the statement
that he was the bearer of conditions
for the establishment of peace, placed
In his hands by the Maderos in New
York, was an absurdty.

Limantour had nothing to add, he
said, to what he has previously said,
that Ii constitutes treason

misguided citizens who have taken
part in this movement, will soon open
their eyes to the light of reason and
not remain longer deaf to the per-
suasive voice of patriotism.
In reply to a suggestion that great
results were expected to follow his
return to Mexico, he said:

opinion would place upon my shoul

Mexicans. |, furthermore, cannot un-
