Peace to Republic of Mexico.
Ell Paso, April 24.-It was learned
this morning that ii there should be
need of longer period than five days
in which to conclude peace, the ar
mistice signed yesterday between
Gen. Nevarro of the federal forces
and Gen. Madero will be extended
from mex. Friday when the five days
agreed on expires at noon. The ne
gotiations for peace this morning had
extended just far enough to put each
side in the possession of the outlines
of the others demands. Gen. Madero
telegraphed Mexico City yesterday
the nature of his own basic demands.
Following this telegram was re-
ceived from the Mexican capital but
no indications of it's contents leaked
out. z-'
The Details.
An armistice of five days beginning
at noon Saturday and affecting the
district between Juarez and Chihua-
hua and west of the latter city was
made effective today in an exchange
of identical letters signed by Gener-
al Francisco I. Madero, for the rebels
and General Juan Navarro for the
government.
The truce provides that there shall
be no movement of troops of either
side during the next five days aud
that provisions and medicines may
be brought to either camp from the
American side without payment Of
duty.
1t is noted that Ojinaga, where 2
small federal force Is besieged is not
covered in the armisttce In the in
surrecto activities in that district
being largely independent. It is ex-
pected that in the event of the set
tlement of the rebellion in Chihua-
hua, the situation at Ojinaga and
other scattered places throughout the
republic will receive attention. The
moral effect of the cessation of hos
tilities in Chihuahua is regarded as
certain to make settlements in other
parts of the country simple.

1t was of course known that q
truce was agreeable to Madero and
telegram from the city of Mexico
informed General Madero that Gen.
eral Navarro had been instructed by
President Diaz to enter into the pact.
The concessions which the govern
ment Is willing to make have been
known for two weeks, ever since
FREDERICK Moye, business man of
Chihuahua, visited General Madero at
Rancho Bustillos. They were dis
cussed at the meeting today by the
various leaders and members OF the
peace mission. Those present at the
meeting were:
Francisco Madero, Sr., father Of
the rebel leader; the latter's BROTH
ers. Alfonso, Gustavo and Raoul Ma
dero; Pascual Arozco, the original
Held leader of the revolution; Pan
chovilla former bandit and present
staunch supporter of Madero's, Giu-
seppe Garibaldf and General and
Sonora Madero. The last named is
accounted a warm supporter Of TAX
ing Juarez and then talking peace.
Somewhere in her intuitions she
fears that her husband would be bet
ter in position to talk peace from
Juarez than from the hills around it.
A representative of the Associated
Press was present by invitation, hav-
ing been with the insurrecto forces
much Of the time since the revolt
broke out.
Much Of the discussion was of a
nature the publication of which is
not desired at this time. 1t may be
stated. however, that General Ma
dero has the most authentic assur-
ances Of a liberal attitude on the
part of the government. In fact it
may be stated that President Diaz is
anxious to adopt every measure
which will insure the return of the
revolutionary soldiers to their farms
and shops with the feeling that the
government at Mexico City is their
government and that every aid that
the government can give them to re-
pair the ravages of neglect is theirs
Tor the asking. 1t wants no rancor
to remain on either side. The liber-
altty of the president on every point
Intimately affecting the daily life
OF the people, as shown in the as
surances given General Madero ex-
ceeds the dreams of the revolution
lists themselves.

changed in the pourparlers and all
documents In the case were handed
from one to another and carefully
read by all. including Sonora Madero.
