MIR. Antonio P de Magma. president of
the democratic anti-reelection party,
commissioned by one of the secretaries
OF. the state to try to bring about the
pacltication of the rebels in The north
OF the republic, haS addressed me to
help him carry out his part IN my
character as representative of the revo-
luton, with which 1 have been hon
ored by Gen. Pascual OrOzco jr
Mr. Magma presented to me his pa
triotlc wish of bringing about the end
Of the provoked civil war that has
blood stained our ground. by the ade-
quate satisfaction of the revolutionary
demands, which will be beneficial to
the country
Mr.. Magana's commission has also
authorized him to stipulate amnesty to
all those who may be ready to sub
NIT to the government.
-Discarding at once the second offer,
IN the name of the revolutionary army,
also in the name of the. thousands of
bodies VINO in death gave an example
OF life and who expect faithfulness and
justice from the living, have set my
self to study the first proposed point
because it is the only passable one,
and for the deep sincerity with which il
"as presented by Mr.. Magma.
I can state for once that all my en-
erSy, and all my personal influence /
with the chiefs of the revolution are at 1
the service of my country, and it is I
my most longed wish that the revolt I
ton end.
I'VE are at the service of the revolu-
ton IN the same manner as that of /
peace, for two OBJ jectS: one for the NOR I
that of the political and economical re- 4
generation of the classes up to date in i
slavery. If we obtain the carrying out /
OF our purposes, the revolution will /
cease. But there is no good n peace /
without liberty, as without liberty, life {
IS nothing.
in danger; the law has died and only /
the resurrection of the law can remedy
the intense national anguish.
1t was the willingness of the coun-
try that the successor of Gen Diaz
should be the law, and it is necessary
that that succession be turned over
to whom it corresponds by the unan- {
imous designation of the nation.
What the revolution asks, by the
voice of all its chiefs, is that justice
regulate the law and that the law be I
carried out. For US, a legal govern
ment is not only a legally elected one,
but one that it also legally complies
with it's duties.
We have also received promises,
offers that only hold weakness. To
offer a price is useless, and is adverse
to the peace and dignity of the repub-
lie. Magma did not have that
charge, and for that I put it out of
my hands to the rest of my cOmpan-
ions, to deliver it. destined to the coun-
try and to you, this message:
Mr.. President. 1 will repeat once
more and verify later, that the love for !

and the justice move our contemplation !

The revolution wishes they cease.

should be complied with Immediately.

Lets go toward the law and look
