Dangerous Restlessness May Follow Delay in Issuing Manifesto, Says Insurrecto Commissioner. Juarez, May 20 "It seems quite 4 necessary that Borne announcement or declaration of peace he made at once, said Dr. Francisco Vasquez Gomez, head of the rebel peace commission, discuss-3 lng the report that peace would not be declared In effect until President Diaz actually resigned. He intimated that it might be done some time to-day after a conference with Judge Carbajal, the federal envoy. "We had thought," continued Dr.

Gomez, "that a peace agreement was entirely unnecessary, as we could merely stand by and witness the actual carry- lng out of the various things we have demanded, but in the meantime the army would be Idle and would have to be provisioned and a wait of ten or fifteen days might cause a dangerous rcstless- i ness. Some kind of a manifesto advising the various chiefs that peace prac- tlcally Is assured is necessary. They who are not on the ground and In touch with the progress of our relations with the government might feel disposed to prosecute the rebellion. "The declaration or manifesto of peace should contain the principal basis by which peace really will have been effected. It should record the fact that President IHaz has publicly announced, as well as personally telegraphed to Mr.

Madoro, that he will resign before th9 expiration 'of the present month. It Bhould note that the revolutionists have agreed that Senor de la Barra shall be provisional president and that six of tho eight members of his cabinet shall be selected by the revolutionists. "Likewise, it should announce that It Is assured that the Mexican conferees will pass laws appropriating money for Indemnities and pensions and granting freedom from political prosecution on account of the revolt. The fact that assurances have been given that four provisional governors chosen by the Revolutionists for tho states of Chihuahua, Sonora, Zacatecas and Coahuila, will be installed, should be registered, and that eventually the governors of other states will be named. This is a matter which the state legislatures only can do, but we can inform the Revolutionists generally that we have received assurances that it will be done." Dr.

Gomez had an Informal talk with Judge Carbajal, tho federal peace envoy, early to-day and it is understood he transmitted 1 the names of the men who have been named by the rebels for the new cabinet announced by the Associated Press last night. Rebel leaders to-day said the new cabinet would be found to be the best Mexico had ever had, that it contained picked men and surely would meet with popular approval. It Is regarded as quite probable that if Francisco I. Madero, should be elected president, and Dr. Vazquez Gomez, vi nroairient.

in the coming general elec tion, the same cabinet would be retained, the vice presiiient oeinK the Mexican constitution, to occupy a cabinet portfolio. Federals Evacuate Cuautla. Cuernavaca, Mexico, Friday, May 19 niiavori in transmission) The Federal garrison, under Colonel th-day was forced to evacumu miles southeast of here, alter a iiercj four davs battle, with a force of rebels commanded by Colonel Zapata.
