MEXICANS LAY BLAME
 ON SENATOR M'fALL
SAY HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR FAILURE OF PEACE NEGoTiA-
 TONS WITH oRoZco.

Mexico City, Aug. 1O.--Mexico planes Senator Fall of New Mexico for the failure to arrange peace terms with General Pascual Orozco Partly by deduction, but principally on reports made from El Paso by agents of the government, President Madero today came to the conclusion that the senator had blocked the ne- gotiations. The charge was made in a formal statement issued at the de- pertinent of interior. It was author ized by Madero.
 Rafael Hernandez, minister of fomento, who conducted the negotia- tions with Orozco at Fl Paso has left there for Lower California to study the irrigation question and the situa- tion now it not greatly different from what it was several days ago. The only hope of peace the government sees without complete subjugation of | the rebel forces is in the hay future. The administration keenly feels it's
  guise its resentment against what 1t fancies to be the officiousness of an American senator.
 In their reports from El Paso the government agents intimate that Sen ator Fall has played more than a passive part in frightening Orozco off Just what this action consisted of the government does not pretend to know, but it is suspected that he re- iterated to Orozco personally, perhaps by telegram of messenger, those sen timents contained in his speech made before the senate last month
 Tt seems that Orozco had accepted the conditions says the official statement, "when he brusquely and without known motive. changed his attitude completely. There is no of- ficial reason why these changes were brought about
 Orozco's proposition was that he be permitted to leave the country, but i, was not definitely specified where he expected to go. This left the Unit ed States as a possible choice, and government officials now are inclined to believe that he expected to join his wife in California.
 In Senator Falls speech and utter ances he had demanded that Orozco should be held personally responsible by the United States for acts com mitted against Americans.
 The government admits the possi- blity that Orozco may have been afraid yet unwilling to surrender
 A new feature ig the negotiations came to light today in that Rafael Hernandez, who the president now admits was empowered to conduct a peace conference, had been authorized to extend 10 Salazar, Campo. Roias and other leaders, the same condi- lions as were offered to Orozco. The government offered to assist in pro- curing work for all of the rebel sol- diers who would lay down their arms
 The initiative for the peace con ference was taken by Orozco, accord ing to Jesus Flores Magon, minister of interior, tonight
 Mir Hernandez on going through Fl Paso for the purpose of carrying out a commission of the president relative to irrigation in Lower Cali fornia. continued Flores Magon. re- celyed from Orozco message that he desired to talk with him. Hernandez telegraphed to the president and asked for instructions. The presi- dent answered. instructing him to communicate to him the result of tho conference. The conference was held through an intermediary whom Orozco sent to say he would surren der and that all of his troops would lay down their arms on the sole con dition that he be permitted to go abroad
 "On the receipt of a telegram from Senor Hernandez the president cali ed a meeting of the cabinet. in which 1t was unanimously agreed to empow- CT Minister Hernandez to negotiate on these grounds. bringing about the repatriation of the principals" It is assumed that should negotia- tions with Orozco be resumed he win be given safe conduct through the country to some port from which he might sail directly for Europe.
