PEACE AGREEMENT SIGNED
MEXICO'S WAR NOW AT AN END.
NEWS SENT BROADCAST.
Dispatched Throughout the Republic
to Federal and Revolutionary
Leaders—Agreement Terms.
Juarez, Mox.—Officially designated
representatives of the Mexican gov-
ernment and the revolutionists at 10
o’clock Sunday night signed 'll peace
agreement at the custom house at
Juarez intended to end the hostilities
that have waged in Mexico for the
last six mouths.
Though covering only the principal
points negotiated thus far, the agree-
ment practically records the conces-
sions by the governemnt to those de-
mands which started on November 20
last by the armed revolutionists in
Mexico. Telegrams announcing the
signing of the agreement were dis-
patched throughout Mexico to revolu-
tionary and federal leaders alike.
Constitutional restrictions prevent-
ed the inclusion in the agreement of
the fact that the rebels will be per-
mitted to suggest to various state
legislatures the names of provisional
governors and likewise the fact that
six of the eight members of the new
cabinet have been chosen by the rev-
olutionists, but tile agreement records
that President Diaz and Vice Presi-
dent Corral will resign and that the
government is to concentrate atten-
tions on desired reforms.
Judge Carbajal represented the fed-
eral government, and R. Yasquez
Uomez, Francisco I. Madera, Sr., and
Senor Pino Suarez acted for the revo
lutionists.
Peace Agreement.
The agreement follows:
In the city of Juarez, on the 21st
day of May, Pill, in the custom house,
Senor Don Francisco S. Carbajal, rep-
resenting the government of General
Porfirlo Diaz; Dr. Francisco Vas-
quez Gomez, Don Francisco I. Mudero
and Don Jose Maria Pino Suarez, as
the representatives of (he revolution-
ary forces, having gathered to treat
about the mol hod of effecting <1 ces sa-
tion of hostilities in the entire na-
tional territory and considering (1)
that Senor General Porfirio Diaz has
manifested his resolution of resigning
the presidency or.JflMrtfouth, =fjji ,
that bona fide news is at hand that j
Ramon Corral will resign the vice
presidency of the republic within j
the same period; and (3) that by the j

cisco Leon do la Barra, at present
minister of foreign relations of the
government of General Diaz, will as-
sume for tile interim the power of ex-
ecutive of tile nation and will call
the general election according to the J
terms of the constitution; and (4) |
that the national government, will j
study conditions of public opinion in J
actuality to satisfy the conditions
with the provisions of the constitu-
tion, and will come to an agreement
conducive to indemnifying the losses
directly caused by the revolution, the
two parties represented in ttiis con-1
ference, in view of the previous con-
siderations, have agreed lo formulate
the following agreement:
From today on, hostilities which
have existed in the entire national ter-
ritory of the republic shall cease be-
tween the forces of the government
and those of the revolution, those
forces to lie dismissed in proportion
as in each state the necessary steps
are taken to guarantee tranquillity
and public order.
Transitory provision: As soon as
possible the reconstruction or repair
of the National rnilway lines, hitherto
Interrupted, shall be begun.
Agreed and signed in duplicate by
Don. Francisco S. Carbajal,
Don Francisco Madero,
Don Jose Maria l’lno Suarez.
Tlie agreement was signed after
three days of indecision, Francisco I.
Madero, Jr., leader of the revolution,
expressing the view that 1 -ace could
lie declared only when Honor de la
Barra became provisional president j
and tlie new cabinet was installed.
Some of his chiefs argued other-
wise, declaring that armed forces in
tlie field in tlie interim might prcelpi-
tate trouble. It wns suggested, too,
that in deference to the wish of tlie
president to retire when tranquillity
was restored the peace agreement he
tpade immediate, as Ills resignation is
expected within fofir or five days.
Tlie latter view prevailed.
Honor Madero's hesitancy was based
I on the Idea that u peace agreement
could have no legal effect, Inasmuch
11s one of ttie parties, the revolution
j ists, expired when peace was declared.
It wus pointed out to him, however,
that a peace treaty in the legal sense
of the w ord was not d •sired, but
merely a signed declaration recording
what lias boon done toward satisfying
the demands of revolutionists.
The signing of tlie agreement gave
a definite aspect to the more or he :
