El Paso. Tex., March 22. Opinion among Mexican Insurrecto leaders over the Interview of Senor Liman tour In Mexico City is about equally divided between keen disappointment and hooe that Limantour still has plans which he has not been at lib ertv to make - nubile. While the views of the Mexican minister of fl nance were regarded ns being adverse to any possibility of Immediate pence. It was still hoped that after confer ences with President Diaz some plan for granting sufficient reforms would be announced. On one point the insurrecto lead ers said they were unalterably deter mined they would not lay down their arms during peace negotiations and it there was to be any truce, It would be an "armed truce." This was the view of Gonzales Gar cla, the Insurrecto secretary of state, of Urullo Hernnndo, the insurrecto aecretary of Chihuahua state, and it was said by them to be the emphatic view of Francisco I. Madero, the revo lutionary president. The Insurrecto leaders made no at tempt to conrenl their disappointment Encourngemcnt, they said, had been taken from Limnntour's failure, while enroute to Mexico City, to deny re ports that tentative proposals hnd been drnwn up, nnd It was confident ly felt President Plnz would see need for radical reforms, Senor Garza said: "It Is now our purpose to convince Dlnz of the seriousness of the revo lution. It appears the war will now go on with more bitterness than be fore. "For a time the government felt we were making rapid progress. Liman tour sought to allay our activity by tacitly giving out the Impression that r forms were to be granted. It np penrs to have been a ruse. I am cer tain when Madero, who Is now 150 miles in the mountnlns, hears of It, he will rctnllate more vigorously than might be believed. "In his Interview Senor Limantour contrndlcts himself. In Paris he said he recognized the reasonableness of the demands of his people. Now he states deferentially that we have no reason on .our side at all, and that our demands, such ns the maintaining of arms while pence plans are con sidered, are an absurdity. Our de mands were all put before the govern ment before we took up arms. The doors were closed to us and we ap pealed to deaf cars. It Is obvious that If we laid down our arms, our leaders would go to jail and It would be sad to predict what would become of the rest Troop Will Remain. Washington. March 22.

An official proclamation was Issued today calling for a national election of members of a constituent assembly on April 30 next. Slnc the revolution which overturned the monarchy and sent King Manuel into exile, Portugal has had only a provisional government Public confidence in the future of the republic is now apparently greater than ever, owing to the general and rapidly increasing prosperity which has marked the new regime. Wages of workmen have nearly doubled in the last few months and farmers and tradespeople share in the benefits. Malcontents are permitted to public ly advocate the restoration of tne monarchy but they gain few adher ents among the rank and file of the people. It is practically certain that the ad ministration candidates for the na tional assembly will be elected by an overwhelming majority except pos sible in some of the remote country districts, where the influence of the clergy remains supreme. The plat form of the government inciuics planks favoring compulsory univer sal education In free state schools, to be modeled after the system m vogue in the United States; univer sal suffrage for all adults, regardless of color, sex or property qualifica tions; economy and sirict supervi sion in the expenditure of public funds; complete Independence of the Judiciary, and the absolute and final separation of the church and state. The provisional government has al ready accomplished much toward the realization of this program. In all tne cities and towns free schools have beon established and thousands of Portuguese youths of from fifteen to twenty-one are attending school for the first time. The compulsory edu cation clause will hardly be necessary as practically every youngster in Por tugal is filed with a holy zeal to ob tain an education, and the illiteracy which obtained under the monarchy is already in a fair way to be a thing of the past. Although the provision al government is composed of men who are pronounced anti-clericals and agnostics, it is generally admitted that the church has been treated rairty and with every consideration. Tne former King Manuel, too, has been dealt with magnanimously and has been awarded all of his personal property. The only serious difference of opinion among the government of ficials is on the question of universal suffrage, some of the ministers ad vocating the imposition of the. test of literacy. TACOfilA SALOONS ARE IN MOURNING TODAY ANTI -TREATING ORDINANCE PASSES BY BIG MAJORITY "The Women Did It," Say Liquor Dealers Who Prepare to Obey Man date of New law Many Will Quit. Tacoma, Wash., March 22. There is sorrow in saloons today.

It was noticeable that the working women voted almost two to one for tho ordinance, while the tenderloin and society women wards voted for it. ANTI-ALIEN LAW MAY FAIL. California Assembly May Not Follow in Steps of senate. Sacramento. Cnlif, March 22. Though the state senate has passed an anti-alien land ownership bill It Is predicted today that the bill will fail of passage in the assembly because of the chance of its being buried In the final rushs hours of the session. It is reported that those opposed to anti-Japanese legislation are working to smother the measure. The bill affects all aliens Individ ually or ns a corporation of stock holders holding land. The aliens may hold land for a period of five years and then they must sell. There was much discussion over how it would affect the Japanese attitude but the feeling prevails that their sentiments should not make any dif ference. Xcbrasknns Wear Diamonds. Omaha.

ATTITUDE OF THE UNITED STATES IS MADE CLEAR' Doubt of President's Policy No Long er Exists Everything Depends CCp on the Mexicans Themselves Sol diers Will Be Held in Readiness for Any Emergency. El Paso, Tex., March 22. Optimism that the end of the Mexican revolt li near paled materially today through the fullure to receive any meBg promising peace from Mexico City. The impression now Is that Diaz baa. refused to discuss any proposals un til the rebellion Is over. Army offi cials at Juarez seemingly look for m. hard fight as they are arranging for their faiiiilies to remain at El Paso. Washington, March 22. The Mex ican situation has cleared consider ably. The attitude of the United States government has been made .plain and there need be no longer any doubt, it is said by government officials, re garding the president's policy. Mr. Taft has announced he will d everything possible to maintain th friendly relations between this couu try and Mexico. Any rupture must tome as the result of some overt et on Mexican sou. The United States has no desire to interfere in the internal affairs ot Mexico and President Taft will not recommend any such interference to congress unless circumstances permit ' of tio other possible course. The American troops were sent to Texas and prepared for any emer gency on the strength of reports that conditions in Mexico were approach ing such chaos that at any time migbt threaten American lives and proper ty. These reports were of such a na ture that President Taft felt he could not fail to heed them. He acted quickly and hoped the threat of dan ger would be stayed. He believes this) has been accomplished and that the presence of the army in Texas, withia striking distance of the Mexican bor der has had a sobering influence and that Americans and American prop erty will be respected. There will be no move toward tn Mexican border unless outrages so flagrant as to call for the presence of a protecting force occur. Even then,. President Taft would not thin of acting without the consent of con gress. The limitations upon the rower of the president to commit an act that might be interpreted as an act of war. J are so well defined that Mr. Taft has been amused at many reports as to, what he proposed to do with the ar my after it was mobilized. Armies in Hiding. San Diego, Calif., March 22. Gen erals Leyva and Berthold of the reb els are not advertising their where abouts. It is officially stated at Unit ed States brigade headquarters here that neither of the revolutionists are at Mexican or Tecarte.

The big command of federals which was reported to have left Ensenora last week is likewise unheard from and possibly they are also waiting to ambush the rebels. Soldiers on March . San Antonio, Tex..
