Crowds Cry "viva Msaero."
Most of the business offices and mer-
camille houses were closed, and Sun
day-lilxe calm prevailed. Crowds of
poems who wandered idly about the
streets furnished the only excitement
Of the day. They gathered in the
street in front OF the national palace,
and although laughing and chatting,
indulged in few cries of "Viva Ma
dero."
Mexican Flag Torn from Car.
The police took no measures to dis
perse the crowd which filed into the
garden of Zecalo. the big square in
front Of the palace, or poured aimless-
ly in and out of the PRINCIPAL str Teets
of the neighborhood. In Isabella La
Catoiica street crowds banked them
and tore from Ii one of the little Mex
lean flags which adorned all the cars
today.

Shouted at Presidents House.
Another crowd pushed down Cade-
ma street, and in passing the presi-
dents house uttered a few shouts de-
rogatory to the government and lauda-
tory of Madero and the revolution.
Will Attack Juarez.
Ella Paso, Texas May 5.-f Presi-
dent Diaz does not announce by to-
morrow noon his intention of resigning
an attack on Juarez as well as a con-
clIlsion q5 the armistice for the Chi
huahua district is imminent This was
the opinion of insurrecto leaders to-
night after a 24-hour wait for the
answer by Diaz to the Suggestion made
yesterday by Francisco I. Madero, Jr.,
through his peace commissioners to
Judge Carabajal. the federal envoy.
Will Armistice Be Extended?
General Madero was sounded tonight
by one of the federal go-betweens to
ascertain whether he would cor sent to
an extension of the armistice,i which
expires tomorrow. He replied at he
morning. He said if an extension were
asked by the federal government he
would demand specific reasons before
granting it.
Madero Has Played Trump Card.
General Madero feels that he has
played his trump card. He showed
plainly today the effect of the nervous
strain of the last few days. When the
federal go-betweens first talked to Ma
dero, just before the first armistice
was arranged, they found him ready to
accept General Diaz as president, pro-
vided certain reforms were instituted.
Since then he has been surrounded by
the political chiefs of the revolution,
and finally has been persuaded that
only through an announcement of the
intended resignation of Diaz could
peace be restored.
