President Explains Action.
The president declared his determine
ton not to relinquish the presidency
at this time was not due to vanity or
love OF power, because, as he pointed
out. power at this time had no attrac-
tion. accompanied as It is by tremen-
dous responsibilities and worry. He
said he was prompted solely by a de-
sire to conserve the best interests Of
his country.
The president made It clear that he
does not propose to abandon the presi-
dency while his country is at war and
that he would not do so at any time
under compulsion.
General Diaz's manifesto will be made
public tomorrow morning, but 1t win
not be sent officially to Judge Carbajal
for formal transmission to DR.. VasQuez

The promise OF the president Is made
to the people Of Mexico. and its receipt
by the revolutionists will ibe Incidental
That-it will he sent to them immedi-

and that it will be regarded as entirely
satisfactory by them Is taken for

his ministers his decision.

Only in a general way does the mani

could not have made q public state

Indicated that the revolutiontsts failed
to observe tho amenities Of the peace
