PEACE PARLEY NOW GOING ON

Commissioners Say Agreement Will Come within Three Days. DIAZ RECOGNIZES REVOLUTION Eartf Retirement of President May Be Insisted Upon by Insurrectos and That May Yet Cause Hitch. 1 - El Paso, Tex., May s,—That progress had been made was the assertion insisted upon by both the Mexican and insur recto commissioners at the conclusion of the first day's deliberation , of the peace conference. The nearest they would come to telling anything, however, was to say that it looked as if a peace agreement would be reached within three days. The matter of the retirement of Diaz as president is to be discussed and may be the one feature on which there will be the greatest difficulty in agreeing, if it does not cause an absolute break. The insurrectos will insist that some assurance be given of the early retirement of Diaz. Sessions Judd thus far were devoted practically to outlining a method of procedure and passing the questions on which there is no disagreement, such as the right of the insurrectos to retain their arms, division of governors, elections of minor officials, etc. Today the bigger issues will be considered, including the retirement of Diaz, the methods of regaining the

land in the big estates and its distribution to the people, and features of this sort. In the credentials of his commissioner President Diaz recognizes, through Senor Limantour, the existence of a revolution. In the past Madero has always been addressed as “Citizen Madero.” Provisional President Madero received a telegram from Mexico City informing him that an armistice had been entered into in the states of Morelos and Guerrero and advising also that the insurrectos had entered into negotiations for peace. He replied that he approved the armistice, but denied their right to treat for peace inasmuch as the peace commission treating for all Mexico is now in session here.
