thought on account of the prevailing
disagreement that the best way to
establish a government acceptable to
all waste hold national convention
where all the militant factions

After several conferences be-
tween the various chiefs it was
agreed to designate the city OF Aguas

that had fought to reconstitute the
nationality. In virtue thereof the
convention proceeded to elect the
provisional president Of the republic.
and was designated by majority
of the votes to hold the office. In
so proceeding the convention has
given expression to the purposes Of
the revolution and endeavored to
demonstrate that no government can
exist in Mexico unless it emanates
from the will OF the people for the
time of the dictatorship born out Of
violence and personal ambitions has
passed forever.
In the same democratic form and
voicing the sentiment Of the revo-

the convention is continuing its work
in formulating the program of gov
eminent which my provisional ad-
ministration must comply with and
the reforms are all to be brought
forward to accomplish the ends Of
the revolutionary movement. 1t will
also appoint the day on which cleo
lions will be held to Designate the
constitutional powers of the repub-
lie.
"ln the meanwhile. and while my
provisional presidency lasts, l will
strive to adopt the policy Of the gov

nations, set up the reforms that the
revolutions demands and scru otious-
ly guarantee the life and property
of foreigners who have come under
the protection of our hospitality and
laws, to cooperate with us in the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the nation.
THE new government in my
charge will move to Mexico City and
achieve the complete qualification Of
the countrys for besides having rea-
son, right and public opinion on Its
side. 1t will try to meet the Just de-
mands of all the inhabitants Of the
land, though without swerving IN
the performance of its duties.
"1n announcing to your excellen-
cy's government the establishment of
a new regime in Mexico, rely on the
strong sympathy which the honor
able president of your republic has
always shown to the Mexican people
and their institutions and find
qualification in hoping that the good
relation of the Mexican government
with the powerful and civilized
American nation will subsist in the
future and that the forces OF your
government will very soon be with
drawn from Vera Cruz, then will our
relation be complete, cordial and
close US is to be desired between adj
