PREDICT PEACE
IN THIRTY DAYS
Father of RebsI Leader Tells
of Negotiations.

San Antonio, Tex, March 29.-The
governmental changes at the City of
Mexico, the recall of Senior Limantour
from Paris, the arrival of Francisco /.
Madero, Sr., and his son, Gustave, and
the departure of Mr.. de la Barra from
the embassy at Washington for his
new position at the Mexican capital,
are all explained in interviews with
Francisco l.. Madero, Sr., and Gustave
Madero.
Tentative peace proposals have been
made and on the administration side
have been acted on. In the view of
Don Francisco, peace is assured, If
not within ten DAYS, then within q
mouth. President Diaz, 1t Ia reported
In a message to the Mexican congress
will insist that peace be concluded.
On the vital point of why they were
SO certain that the tentative arrange
meat would within a short time result
In a sealed compact of peace, father
and son were silent. They answered
freely every other question.
1t would be q peace concluded with
out the laying down Of arms by the in
surrectos now in the field, said the
elder Madero. 1t would be a peace
which might allow PorHrio Diaz still
to sit In the presidential chair, flt the
nature of his powers would be far diff
'ferent from that which has obtained
in the past.
Francisco Madero stated most posi-
lively that he was the accredited rep
resentatiye of the insurrectos in Mex
leo and that Senior Limantour was
equally plenipotentiary of the personal
government of Porfirio Diaz.
There will be no armistice between
the Maderists in the field and the fed
eral troops opposing them during the
time that whatever negotiations now
contemplated may be In the making,
he declared, and under no conditions
will the rebels lay down their arms.
They viii simply guarantee to dispense
upon the conclusion of a final treaty,
each man carrying his arms to his
home.
Peace will not become a fact unless
electien and the incorporation liz
national constitution of a law prohibli-
ing the reelection of all government
officers.
Certain changes in the newly APP
pointed cabinet, looking toward the
inclusion of men who are known not
to be allied with the old Diaz regime,
must be n of the conditions estab-
lished before the revolution shall come
to an end.
After outlining through his son these
general conditions, which Senior Ma
dero took pains to say were only the
cardinal points of the many under
consideration, the father of the fighting
Francisco said this:
peace Is In the air. / believe that 1t
WIFI be with us In thirty, maybe In
sixty, days. Already the first prelim-
mary steps looking toward the end of
the revolution has been accomplished
that is the fall of the old Diaz minis
try"
The spokesman of the revolutienists
then went On to indicate what cabinet
changes would have to be made before
the final giving up of warfare could
be accomplished. He said hat Ramon
Corral, vice president and late minister
of interior, would have to resign from
the vice presidency. His other cabinet
position he relinquished when the min
istry went out last Friday.
That would necessarily leave the po-
sition Of vice president of the republic
vacant, and there could be no vice
president until he was duly elected at
a national election. Limantour might
become, probably would become, the
minister for foreign affairs, and by
virtue of his position at the head of
the cabinet and the vacancy In the
office of vice president he would be
de facto vice president until an cleo
