THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

DiaZ's Proclamation Believed to be a
Willy Scheme to Show MaderO Is
Actuated More by Ambition than
Patriotism.
Mexico City, May S.-With the out
lines of the Diaz message to the people
in their possession, friends OF Francisco
!. Madero, jr., leader of the revolution,
we're wondering today If he would az
cede to its terms They pointed cut
that while ostensibly Diaz agrees to
give the country most Of the reforms
demanded by the progressive element,
and says he will resign when peace Is
restored" there is no guarantee that
he will keep his word.
Some Of the more radical are inclined
to believe the whole thing plan of the
Diaz followers TO get the lnsurrectos 10
lay down their arms and then re-estab-
fish the Daz dynasty with the army.
Others say that the promises OF the
president should be accepted in good
faith and the internal warfare ended al
once
The revised draft Of the appeal to the
country was considered by the cabinet
and president today. 1t is a wonder
fnl document from the standpoint OF
the administration.
The president soemnly declares ii
to he the purpose Of the government
to grant the election of either president
or vice president free and universal
franchise judicial reform and the com
pletc reorganization Of all Of the states.
Members Of the cabinet declared to-
day that Diaz has secured great tactical
advantage by the proclamation. They
say lie has shifted the responsibility &c
Madero and il the latter bubbles over
accepting the terms Of the proclama
tlon he will show that the charges thai
this personal ambition caused the revo.
luton are well founded.
Gen. Diaz further atiirms his Will re,
tire from power as soon rs he is con
sciously convinced that there is no fear
Of the country being plunged into al
archy by this act. He finished 10y
making an earnest appeal to the whole
situation to hel p toward the restoration
of peace. This manifestion is inspired
by the highest sentiments Of patriotism
and sincerity
FL Paso, Tex, May S.-Aftcr n
wild celebration in the streets Of FL
Paso lasting practically all night, it was
stated at the camp Of Francisco !.
Madero early today that the manifesto
OF President Diaz announcing his in.
tention of retiring probably would
result in an immediate renewal OF the
armisrice in the Mexican revolution
Washington, May s.
An explanation Of President Diaz
refusal to yield to the demand Of the
insurrcct0s and resign without waiting
for peace to be restored, is promised
in a telegram received at the Mexican
embassy today from Senior de la
Barra, Ministers of Foreign Affairs OF
Mexico City. The telegram is as follows:
Tonight or tomorrow q declaration
of General Diaz will be published in
which he addressed the nation explain
ing the actual political corditi0n OF the
country and the efforts made by the
government to re-establislI peace.
The president states therein the
reasons which prompted him to refuse
the demands Of the insurrcctos 10 re
sign conformity with the vice president.
These reason are based on considera-
ton having in view the welfare Of the
nation and the dignity Of the govern
ment.
