He would let Ryan go whatever he might hare done, and sent orders to tho Pod* eral authorities at .Zacatecas to that effect. At the Ptnte Department It v.-a? dO ! clnred that It.

'By ?TaMf? to Th? TrtNir.? Mexico City. May 1.?President Huerta to-day sent the Mln ter of the Interior, Se?or Alcocer: the Minister of Commun.cat.oi Se?or Lozano, and the Minister of Finance, Se?or de la Lama, request the resignation of the Foreign Minister, Se?or Lopez Portil Minister Portillo resigned at once on receiving the request. Esteva Ruiz, sub-secretary, also resigned as a matter of loyal to his chief. The last item of news given by Se?or Portillo to newspaper nv was the statement that the suspension of hostilities had been a ranged with the United States. Jos? Manuel Cardoso de Oliveira, the Brazilian Minister, co firmed the report that a tripartite agreement for an armistice an : reached this morning, saying that the rebels had accepted it w< the Federals and the United States. Among the possible successors to Se?or Portillo talked ab are Emilio Rabasa and Pedro Lascurain. The former was l| pointed Mexican Ambassador to Washington soon after Madero downfall, but owing to the United States' refusal of recognition ? , never took possession of the post. He has specialized in intern? tional law. Se?or Lascurain is a former Minister of Foreign Reh tions. ? 'Bt Cab?a to The Trttmns. 1 Vera Cruz, May 2.?Frank Senties arrived here this mornin j from the capital. It is he who arranged the Lind-Portillo intervie\ ' here. He says conditions in the capital are such that Huerta wi! soon have to declare martial law to keep the peon populace dowr Although Senties is a follower of Huerta and comes here on : secret mission?perhaps to observe and return with a report?h admits that much of the sentiment of the lower class Mexican popu lation is rapidly turning against Huerta. They blame him for thei ; downtrodden, miserable existence. 'I'Mm Th? Tribun? Bnr?a.o,i Washington, May 1.?Mediation of the Mexican difficulty ha? I made progress to-day. The mediators have worked indefatigably behind closed doors, their task too delicate for even guarded discus sion with the public?or the press?but throughout the day the pen j dulum has been swinging in the opposite direction, and some meas ; ure of optimism regarding the outcome of their labors has replaced the pessimism which prevailed here yesterday and before, especiall. I in uninformed quarters. The mediators are not optimistic, but the. ? are in deadly earnest, determined that through no omission or com \ mission of theirs shall failure follow their efforts. The armistice between the United States and Huerta is an a?. complished fact, and therein lies the greatest safeguard of the nego tiations. Without it there might have come at any moment some untoward development which would have so aroused the indignation of one side or the other as to have nullified the efforts of these diplomats, working so zealously to avert war and promote peace. And now, if an armistice between Huerta and Carranza and Villa can be arranged, it will promote the success of the me? diators. But if it does not corne, their work will go on, and they will not be discouraged. This the Tribune correspondent has on un? questionable authority. The mediators believe General Carranza will agree to the armis? tice, the proposal for which went to him only yesterday, following the receipt of his formal acceptance of the mediation proposal. So it is far from unnatural that he should not yet have agreed to lay down his arms. ,? r,f the Becret?rf of f;tat', The course nT trr ' ,_ ',.??_ ?? ___? ?h" W* ?*? _n: s. ?-_?r-'_r4c5 thplr fellow diplomat- in Mexico ity % evident and Information drr?U^to everythl?. ^^".'??-.hr.ln.iiH.rat.on ^??3K? tho administration ? rr.iua to ?ir , .??.tltutlon h..HevM ?ns? ?"? ? ,..,? rr_^-*!!_r. out trie .!,?? and the administration I?
