in Mexico win be Made

SOUTHERN REBELS ARE
OPPOSED TO MADERO
Los Angeles Revolutionary Junta
Contends That Rebel Leader is
Simply Advancing Himself Politi-
cally and That Present Revolt
Means Only a Change OF Presidents.

Juarez May 22.-The insurrectos
chiefs today declare that IL Diaz re-
signs June / a conditional peace pact
will become automatically perma-
nent. II Diaz fails to resign, the
fighting will be resumed. The real
test of Maderos strength with the
people comes when he attempts to
end fighting after Diaz resigns. Ma
dero, senior, in discussing this today
said that it will take long time to
get the news abroad as the people
are fearing that Diaz is working a
trick and will continue fighting.
Francisco Madero is expected to
leave Wednesday or Thursday for
Mexico City.
Madero Is Opposed.
Los Angeles.-The appointment of
Madero as president of Mexico won't
restore peace If the Los Angeles revo-
lutionary junta can help it. Repre-
senting the Mexican liberal party
which Is conducting the revolution in
Lower California, Sinaloa and South
ern Mexico. members of the junta
today sent to the printer a draft of
the appeal to all members Of the lib
eral party and to socialists through
out the world to aid in continuing the
fighting, They assert that Madero is
advancing himself politically and that
the present revolt means simply a
change Of presidents but not the eco
nomic liberty of the people.
The manifesto further declares
that Madero is member of one OF
the richest families which owns ap-
proximately five million acres of land.
"That very fact constitutes him n
member of the slave owning class, -
1t reads. From the first the Mexican
liberal party's sole aim has been to
economy the substitution of econom-
Sc liberty for slavery. 1t will not lay
down its arms until the resources OF
Mexico have been restored to the
people for their free and equal use"
The manifesto is signed by General
Figuero, commanding the rebels in
southern Mexico.

fore 1000 rebels under General FL

that Figuero will make Cuernavaca
his base Of operations against Mexi-
co City in the event the fighting con-
tinues.
chihuahua May BE Occupied.
Ell Paso. May 22-The first day
of peace between the federals and IN
surrectos is disquieting and filled with
portents that further trouble Is not
unlikely. Many kilograms were re-
ceived by Madero expressing COM
plants OF rebel leaders at proposed
peace and 1t is probable that Chi
huahua will be occucupied in ordtr
to satisfy the firebrands. Hourly re-
ports tell of number of interior
towns falling into the rebel hands.
