PEOPLE WHO LIKE FIGHTING. A GLOOMY OUTLOOK. Thong;ii it in believed that :i peace met will soon I><‘ arranged between 'rt*f.ir 1<• 11 1 l)i;i/. of Mexico and Eranisi'o Jlmlorn, commander of the rovoiiliouists, Ihe country is likely to bo mything hut ;i sanatorium for u•••)•.oils subjects ior some years, says a. orrenpondont on .’day hid. It does tot follow that, because an oflicml .gi cement may he signed, the men ,ho are now under arms will return juietly to their farms and workshops.

Utopian Socialists ippear to have control, if anyone has .’oiitrol, of tliis little side-show. Some if the leaders have announced that they will light Madero just as vigorously as they are lighting Diaz, since ic is merely another ‘‘capitalist!” They have ignored Madero’s peace negotiations. and have been storming •;lie city of Mazatlan, on the west .•case, during the past few days, while .in armistice between the forces of M iaero and Diaz has been in force.
