Just at this moment John Mitch

OF willingness to listen to any propo-
sition which doss not include the
point over which the reoert negosia-
tion broke, and which was answered
by President Diaz in the concluding
lines Of his manifesto.
The executive stated clearly the
governments position when he said:
1.-THE failure Of the peace negotia-
tions perhaps will entail renewal
and agRravation Of revolutionary 40
tivity. II, unfortunately, such be the
case. the government on its side
will redouble its efforts, relying mp.
on the LOYALTY of our heioic army to
qusll the rebellion.
At the war department today there
WAS no insimstion Of the plans for .
neW campaign. An official Of the war
office said that he did not bslisvs
that Madero was serious in the stats
meDt that he would undertake the Inn
possible task of capturing Mexico
City.
This posting OF bulletins on the
street corners late last night setting
forth that DisE would resign at .
date which he deemed auspicious
created much excitement. These bul.
letins also were distributed by
from the chamber of tn
Deputies.
Today the sentiment among the peo-
pie Of the capital, who by large ma

was that Dias's promise with
