MEXICO CITY. Aug. 1O.-Mexico
Bames Senator Fan OF New Mexico
for the failure to arrange peace terms
with General Pacual Oro2co. Partly
by deduction but principally on re-
ports made from El Paso by agents OF
the government, President Madero to-
day came TO the conclusion that the
senator had blocked the negotiations
The charge was made in a formal
statement ISSUED at the department Of
the interior. II was authorized by
Madero.
Rafael Hernandez, minister of war
who conducted the negotiations with
Orozco at III Paso, has left there for
Lower California TO study the irrlga-
ton question and the situation now is
not greatly different from what It
was several days ago. The only hope
Of peace, the government sees with
out complete subJugation of the rebel
forces Is in the hazy future.
The administration keenly feels it's
failure and no effort IL to be made to
disguise it's resentment against what
II fancies to be the officlousness Of an
American senator.

goverument agents intimate that Sen
ator fall has played more or less
passive part in frightening Orozco off,
Just what this action consisted Of tho
government does not pretend to know,

out known motive, changed his atti-
tude completely. There is no official
data on the causes which brought
about this change, but from reports
which have been received 1t seems
that the decision Of Oro2co was In
fluenced by the efforts OF an American
Senator A. B. Fall, who lately deliv-
cred In the senate a speech filled with
criticism OF the Mexican government"
Orozco's proposition was that he
be permitted to leave the country, but
1t was not definitely specified where
he expected to go. This left the
United States as "A possible choice,
and government officials now are in
clned to believe that he expected to
join his wife in California.
In Senator Falls speech and other
he had demanded that
Orozco should be held personally re-
sponsible by the United States for
acts committed against Americans.
The government admits that Orozco
may have been forced to withdraw his
by some of his followers.

A new feature IN the negotiations
came TO light today in that Rafael
Hernandez, who the president now ad-
mtls was empowered to conduct a
peace conference, had been authorized

who would lay down their arms.
The initiative for the peace confer
