Mexican Truce For Peace.

New York Times 100 years ago today, January 25, 1913:
Federals and Rebels to Discuss Terms for Submission to Madero.
    EL PASO, Tex., Jan. 24.— An armistice of five days made by the Mexican federals and rebels to permit of the informal discussion of peace terms became effective to-day. Peace commissioners from Chihuahua city are waiting at Villa Ahumada, between the State Capital and the border, for the arrival of the rebel representatives.
    Gen. Inez Salazar is expected to head the revolutionary faction, while Col. Francisco Castro of the 23rd Infantry will be a member of the federal commission. Col. Castro and representatives of the State Government and business interests are already at the selected neutral ground. Only permission to receive the rebel proposals has been granted by the Mexican Government.
