(By Leased Wire to The Times.) Mexico City, March 25 President Porfiro Diaz will form hia new cabi net of men dose to the . people. Senor' Jose Yves Limantour will be directing force In the formation of the hew ministry.

' , Miguel Ahumada, governor of Chi huahua, and One of the moBt popu lar of the Diaz followers In Mexico, is Blated to be the new minister of the Interior, succeeding Ramon Cor ral. Senor Limantour, it is believed, will be tendered the important post of minister - of foreign relations to succeed Enrique Creel, who is unpop ular with the masses. '' The people aye confidence In Limantour. With. - Senor Corrafout of the way 'Liman tour would be the strong man of the cabinet and his way would be clear to inaugurate the reforms that Mex ico wants. That General Bernardo Reyes will be a member of the cab inet Is practically a foregone conclus ion. His popularity has increased since his absence in Europe,, where he has been practically a political exile. ...-.- " By following the program tiius far laid out President Diaz could retire with dignity from a situation which threatens his country. With the re turn of peace to his country, he could return at some future date to spend his declining years in his native land and die the idol that he was. a few yoars ago. It is noticed that tae name of Francisco 1. Madero today played no part in the calculations of the unofficial cabinet makers. .How ever, the Maderist faction would, be represented and the ends sought by ""Madero would be attained in reforms wliich the new ministry would bring about, ' - ' ' '-'.-. General Reyes has been a thorn in the side of the Diaz cabinet foVa long time. His popularity at the cap ital became so great that he was sent into Neuvo Leon as governor.

Senor Ramon Corral, vice presi dent and minister of the interior, and General Cosio, the aged and in firm, minister of war, are expected to sail for Europe. Senor Corral is reported to have engaged passage already. .:'',''' '-,"'-' ' There are at least two members of the old cabinet whose names will probably be found in the, new port folio. . They are Justo Sierra, minis ter of education, and Justlno Fernan dez, minister of justice. .' Senor Sier ra has done much for the develop ment of Mexican schools and has a program under way for the extension of educational facilities when condi tions permit. The reforms which will first be granted relate to elections and home rule . These will extend suffrages abolish the jefe politico System and put an .end. to the appointment , of governorships in consideration of po litical alliances. Insurrecto Jubilant. El Paso, Texas, March it Mem bers of the insurrecto junta in this city were jubilant today over the re signatiton of the Mexican cabinet and advices that the federals had Buf fered a crushing defeat north of Chi huahua. General Maderos main command fought an engagement with a de tachment of federals Immediately north of tlie city of Chihuahua, kill ing 160 and taking forty others pris oners, according to these reports, The insurrecto loss was not given. It was said that the federals were retreating. The names of Senor Limantour, General Reyes and Miguel Ahumada as prospective members of the new Diaz ministry gave universal satis faction to the rebel junta. jUeneral Garcia, secretary of state for the provisional government, and spokesman for the local junta, and provisional secretary of state for Chihuahua' Braulto Hernandez de clared It meant the beginning of the end of the Diaz government. The insurrecto leaders here de clare that it Is too late for President Diaz to save himself. Tbe slogan still Continues to be "Diaz must go." Senor Garcia is convinced, so he sal4 today, .that the insurrection can never: be effectually put down until Diaz retires. In this respect the hope lies in the program for Diaz to relinquish the reigns of government into the hands of a member, of his cabinet chosen presldentn pro-tem. The insurrectos would be satisfied with General Reyes as' minister of war: When the revolution broke out appeals were sentn to Rejres in Eu rope to come home 'and lead tbe in surrecto army. While Reyes refus ed to accede to this request he did not show-antagonism toward the re bel cause. ' The insurrectos '.Bay that Reyes could do more with the Moxl can army than ' any other ! man in.
