James w. Mcnamara In the explosion
and four others. one woman. who
were masked by the names of John

The accusation was followed by a
list of the scores of witnesses exam

Just following the Times disaster and
the late addition of Ortie McManigal,
the alleged confessed dynamiter. who
appeared before the inquisitorial body
only yesterday. During the reading
of the indictments the accused broth
ers listened without apparent emo
ton and with now and then a glance
about the room.
Attorney Rappaport rose and asked
the court for time to enter the pleas.

case and the distance which 1t may
be necessary to bring witnesses" he
said, II want to ask for as much time
as possible. / would like to have 30

cial circles In Mexico city. Some of
them scent friction In the cabinet of
the president
Madero Has Played Trump Gard.
General Madcro feels that he has
played his trump card. lie showed
plainly today the effect of the nervous
strain of the last few days When
the federal go-betweens first talked to
Madero just before the first armistice
was arranged, they found him ready to
accept General Diaz as president, pro-
yided certain reforms were instituted
The change In his views Is said to
have been due to the persuasion OF Dr.
Gomez. Dr. Gomez, before coming
here, was one of those who thought
peace could be effected with President
Diaz In power and that informal as
surances OF President Diazs intention
to resign would suffice. When he ar
rived, however. and learned the deter
mined position of revolutionary lead
ers from various parts of Mexico. he
Is said to have devoted himself at
once 10 the proposition which was fl
nally submitted to the government en-
yoy yesterday.
General Madero tonight received a
message from II New York newspaper
informing him that In the United
States II Is believed that anarchy pre-
vailed in Mexico and that the situa-
tion was very grave. In reply he de-
MED that anarchy existed. asserting
however that the disturbed condition
of the country was due to the fact
that organized revolution was tri-
umphing He reiterated his Views as
expressed in his ultmatum TO Dlaz,
but added that IL President Diaz an
nounced his intention Of resigning It
would be possible to restore Mexico
to peace within eight days. the time
he allowed for communicating with all
tho rebel chiefs.

yesterday by Francisco I. Madero. Jr,
through his peace commissioners to
Judge Carabajal, the federal envoy.
General Madero tonight was ap-
preached by one of the federal go-
betweens to ascertain whether he
would consent to an extension of the
armistice which expires tomorrow. He
replied that he would answer that
question tomorrow morning. He said
II an extension We're asked for by the
federal government he would make II
specific before granting 1t. Judge
carabajal as we'll as the other peace
commissioners, remained in his hotel
here all day DR. Vasquez Gomez,
head of the rebel committee. said at
word from Cara abajal as to Yesterdays
proposition, and that no more peace
conferences would be held until re-
ply was received.
Note Not Sent.
Judge carabaja himself thrust q
perplexing note into the days events
by declaring that he had not officially
transmitted the proposition of the rebel
commissioners. He told the newspa-
per men that he had no authority to
receive any proposition concerning The
Diaz resignation. his instructions COW
erng only specific points concerning
political reforms.
When told of this General Madero
expressed tho opinion that perhaps
Judge Carabajal was not willing to
acknowledge the submission of the
Diaz question to the government.
Some Of the federal go-betweens al :
nitted that IL was their impression
that the government had received last
night the Madero proposition. but
could not state in what form it had
been sent.
All the insurrecto chiefs believe that
the government now Is fully cognizanl
Of their demands, whether officially OF
not, at any rate through the press
