Political Changes in Mexico
Following the agreement between the insurgents and representatives of the federal government, President Diaz and Vice-President Corral resigned their offices in the Mexican republic, and Señor de la Barra was chosen temporary president, pending the general election, which will be held in six months. Shortly after his resignation, General Diaz sailed for Spain. Upon the resignation of President Diaz, General Madero resigned as president of the provisional government. President de la Barra is making every effort to pacify the country. Important reforms are being instituted, and the better classes of all parties in the republic are heartily uniting to secure a stable government and restore the equilibrium of business and commercial conditions.
