Juare2, May l2.-The provisional
government of Mexico made such
progress with its work of organization
today that II is belle 'ed the state OF
Chihuahua I'D Sonora will be com
pletely administered by It's state and
municipal officers within few days.
The establishment of garrisons in va
rious places In Northern Mexico, the
installation Of local officers, and the
opening OF all telegraph lines is being
accomplished by direction OF Provis-
ional Pres dent Francis l. Madero and
his cabinet.
Though nothing was done today by
the officials of the provisional govern
ment respecting peace negotiations,
the fact that there Is a deadlock be
came more ard more pronounced the
federal gov, rnment and the provis-
ional government standing their dis
tance with each waiting for the other
TO make the first move.
The lnsurr"ctos contend that Judge
Carabljal suspended the negotiations
after they had submitted a prNposi-
ion asking General Diaz to announce
lis intention of reslgnng Now that
President Diaz has done that, though
the insurrectCs claim it was done in
II vague ana dilhdent manner, the in
uff fI
from from Judge Carabaial who has
maintained status quo, not having
received any Instructions to do 9TH
erwise. But the unofficial GO betweens
are busy in an effort to bring the two
sides together. They expected to get
an audiecne with Madero today, but
We're not successful Tomorrow he
Is expected 80 listen to their new ar
gument.
Having dissolved their original
peace commission of three the rebels
may now conduct negotiations
through their newly organized de-
partment Of foreign relations, of
which Or. Vasques Gomez is secreta-
ry.
A gleam Of hope for peace Is con
tained in the fact that some rebel
leaders have declared they would be
willing to accept Gen, Diaz's nantes
to as sufficient evidence of his inten-
tion to resign and ahead with
peace negotiations, provided the gov
ernment consented to the immediate
appointment Of governors for fourteen
of the twenty states and a gen
erpl transfer of power into the hands
of the reyolUtonlst party,
1t is p)in ed out that the rebel
chiefs in the south would consent to
nothing but the immediate ahdlcation
of Gen, Dia2 yet authentic adylces on
this point are lacking. The provis-
ional government, by taking possess
zion OF the customs house today will
begin to receive its first income, taxes
are being levied and the proceeds be-
ing used to prosecute the revolution.
The news that arms can now be
passed through the American line was
joyously received here and arrange
ments are being made for the purchase
tf ammunition and artillery. The In
surrectos in the north are well sup
piled, but those In the south and west
have little Of it. The United states
customs house officials have received
word from Washington to pass arms
and ammun tion through to Juarez,
and already the war department Of
the provisional government is making
preparation for their distribution,
Daz StubbOrnly Sticks,
Mexico CITY, May 12.-Gencral
Diaz will not leave the presidency
while the country is in its present
state Of unrest He stands ready to
state in more explicit terms than
those contained I'm his recent mani
festo If necessary, his attitude with
reference to his retirement. He has
demanded to know from his oppo-
nents the terms on which they eX-
pected to announce his willingness TO
resign and is waiting a reply from
them.
