JTEXICO CITT. April . Ignorant of tba
character of tha maaaurea the government
may be taking- to effect an agreement of
peace with the rebels unofficial Mexico
waa Inclined to' be a bit more peaalmlatio
tonight regarding the Immediate future.
Both Mexicans and foreigners who long
to aee tha end of the revolution yet hope
a that tha- aaoffldal negotiations ao aus-
pleously Inaugurated at Washington by
Minister of Foreign Affairs De La Barra
OB the eve of hla departure for Mexico
and :Pr. Vaaquex Oomex may be eon tin-
tied but there la a growing fear of failure.
' One report tonight waa that the govern-
ment entered into an agreement that a
commission of three men should be named
by each side to formulate terms of peace
but at the department of foreign rela-
tions no confirmation or denial could be
obtained. According to this report how-
ever General Juan Hernandea who ha
been ur command of the forces at Chfhua-
hua. bat who has been supplanted by
.General Lauro Vlllar has been named as
tha- head of the government' commission.
It la also said that General Garcia Cuellar
who Commanded tfea .federate In tba battle'
-t Caaaa-Oeaadeev wip a-membar of
3 J Afmt 'it ftia govarament yaiflcaa was .
.j -ft possible today V obtain any atatament
that would ' indicate that any definite
progress toward a ceeaatlon of hoatUltles
had been made although It waa frequent
ly denied that pea be ts an Impossibility
and in on or two quarters it waa hinted
that it was a probability. Local news-
papers continue to urge the necessity for
some sort of an agreement and the Mex-
ican Herald especially Is emphatic in its
arguments for a compromise declaring
that a failure on the part of the govern-
ment and the rebels to get together win
result In a civil war that will be the
ruin pf the country.
Optimism waa the dominant note In all
circles of the capital this morning but
the news received this afternoon that
Francisco I. Madero had moved hla head-
quarters to San Andrea and had tight-
ened the lines about tha city of Chihua-
hua has had tha effect of producing a
pesatmlstio discord. The government may
yet be attempting to effect an agree-
ment of peace but that such has not
bean consummated la a natural assump-
tion when tha silence at the departmanta
la considered.
Corral May Resign.
Contrary to expectations tha applica-
tion of Vice President Ramon Corral tor
a leave of absence in order that hO may
visit Germany on account of tha bad con-
dition of his health waa not discussed to-
day In congress. The matter want over
until tomorrow end one report la that
. when It la thrown open for discussion
there will be opposition. It la reported
In the lobblaa of the chamber of- depu-
tise that a group of deputies la prepar-
ing to oppose the granting of the leave
of absence and as a substitute will de-
mand tha vice president's resignation.
Tha argument of this group la said to be
that It the vice president's health la as
bad -'as represented it will be Impossible
for him to return for many tnontha and
that hla resignation la preferable
Tha post of minister of Interior la atlD
' vacant. Teodero Deheaa the governor ot
Vera Cru who arrived here last night
' today spent aoma time In conference with
tha president and It la generally believed
.that he will be entrusted with tha port-
' folio but as yet announcement of the
fact has not been mad. ' . ' . '

further that the law give tba State m-
