Provisional President Gutierrez made the following statement last night:

The problem of pacification may be considered as practically solved. All of the armed groups have been in touch with the Government over which I preside and some of them have sent special commissioners, among them the forces of Coahuila, whose delegates are to return north today. These groups have reduced their demands to two propositions which will probably be satisfied and be made public in due time.

Silliman.
