After a scries of unofficial conferences. confer-ences. Including- the "overtures of many go-betweens. General Francisco I. Ma-dcro. Ma-dcro. Jr., acknowledged leader of the In-surrectos. In-surrectos. today formally authorized Dr, Vasquez Gomez, his diplomatic representative repre-sentative In the (Tutted States, lo consummate con-summate the armistice with the federal government, which In the last few days had been urged by mutual friends. The armistice idea has met with the approval of Uie Mexican government and Is a preliminary step to peace negotiations negotia-tions designed 10 adjust various differences differ-ences out of which Die revolution grew. Tonight the conditions of the armistice are speeding back and forth ovur the wires for the approval of both sides In l lie revolution. They include chiefly ihe immediate suspension of hostilities as well as the discontinuance of troop movements, the establishment, of a definite period in which the truce is to be effective, the zone to be comprehended by it and the permission for both sides lo secure food supplies and free telegraphic communication. News Pleases Taft. While Ihe policy the United States towards to-wards events on the border has not as yet been clearly defined, ihe general opinion in official circles was that the amicable settlement of the .Mexican revolution would In a great measure relieve re-lieve Ihe United States of the necessity of making any move in response to protests pro-tests of American citizens regarding the lunger of border warfare. President Taft and his cabinet was pleased to learn that peace in Mexico was' In prospect pros-pect An cvidenci' of the desire for peace was llu' issuance tonight of two statements, one by thf Mexican embassy and the oilier 'by Dr. Gomez, declaring in substance sub-stance that neither side had taken the Initiative in proposing the armistice. It was inferred an effort was being made by Dr. Gomez, as tho agent of tho revolutionist revo-lutionist party and the Mexican government, govern-ment, lo forestall friction In future peace negotiations by Ihe possible cry of "'triumph" or "victory" for either side. Friends Intervened. Dr. Gomez said that armistice proposals pro-posals had not been made originally by the revolutionists. but Intermediate parties had suggested the Idea simultaneously simul-taneously and had been successful in bringing It about. Tic said personal friends of government officials, as well as those of the revolutionists, had made 11 possible for both sides lo reach an agreement on tho main idea of the armistice. 'I'll- Mexican embassador issued a statement indicating that the Mexican government was sincere In its desire to bring about peace and also giving the assurance thai his government had not taken the Initiative. The whole effect of Ihe two statements. It was said. Is to prevent the charge that the constitutional consti-tutional government In Mexico had yielded to the force of arms, a eontin-guiu-y which, it is believed, revolutionists revolution-ists as well as federals are anxious to avoid so far as establishing a precedent in the eyes of world powers by which to Judge the strength and patriotism of the Mux lean people. Embassador's Statement. A summary of the statement issued follows: Th Mexican embassador said with rerereiice to the reports of an armistice with Iho insurrectos that the government had made no proposition, but. on the other baud, had "openly and repeatedly made known their good disposition to consider any proposition made to Ihem which should be reasonable and inspired by sentiments of true patriotism." The embassador asserted In unequivocal unequivo-cal terms that the Mexican government had the power and counted on moral and maierlal means sufficient to obtain within a short lime, a complete pacification. paci-fication. 11,0 ""dHllons of Mexico and the l nftod States. th- embassador said the good-will and conciliatory spirit of both government; arc so manifest and sincere sin-cere that uiosl undoubtedly all questions that may arise, will find in the future, as in the past, a friendly and peaceful oIiillon. sati.-faclory to the dignity and welfare of both sister republics."

CHIHUAHUA, April 21 (via Laredo, Tex.. . April 22). An American arriving from the interior reported twenlv-eight Americans who, with 10,000 rounds of ammunition, am-munition, had crossed the border west of IC1 Paso and reached General Madero's camp after nine days. When thov reached the camp they were all disarmed because be-cause of some disagreement. The feeling feel-ing among the Mexican federal forces regarding the participation of Americans in the Insurrection is intense. The federals fed-erals regard the Americans fighting against them as greater foes than the natives, na-tives, and those in authority have snt out notices warning Americans to keep oul of the strife and remain on their own side of the border.
