The peace commissioners OF the
Mexican revolutionists formally pre-
sented Thursday to Judge CArabajal,
the federal envoy. statement sign
ed by Francisco I. Madero. Jr.. ap-
peaiing to President Diaz to make
public the assurances given private
" that he intended to resign.
After Offering his own resignation
as president Of the provisional gov
ernment of the republic, Francisco
I. Madero. Jr., suggested that both
President Diaz and Vice President
Corral resign and that Sencr de la
Barra. minister of foreign relations,
become president until general cleo
ton could be held.
The statement informs President
Oiaz that there is 10 other way out
Of the present difficulty and that a
word from him vii! bring peace In
a few days.
Senor Madero in his statement
calls on President Diaz particularly
to make known to the people Of
Mexico his .irrevocable determina-
tion to resign from power as soon as
peace is established in the country"
Madero declares this statement
was made by Diaz to ''go betweens'
interested in restoring peace.
The Madero statements were pre-
sented by the rebel commissioners at
the negotiations which began early
Thursday only after heated dis
cussiea-~dmong the revolutionists
leaders.
Some of them had declared that it
was absolutely essential that PTeSl-
dent Diaz make public announcement
of his intention to resign in order
to bring about complete tranquility.
Peace, they said, would not fol-
low an agreement. backed only by
private assurances. which hardly
could be transmitted to militant
leaders in the south and central parts
Of the republic.
Some OF the rebel chiefs went so
Ear as to send letter to Gen. Med
era stating that unless he asked for
the immediate resignation Of Presi-
dent Diaz, or at least public an
nouncement Of future intentions.
they would not support the peace
negotiations.
Gen. Madero, somewhat alarmed
by the extent of the insurrect!on
which he has created and now desir-
Gus of making every effort to save
the journey from a state Of anarchy,
finally wrote instructions to his
peace commissioners, Dr.. FasQNez
Gomez. Francisco Madero, Sr., and
Pine SaureZ.
In his instructions. Gen. Madero,
after stating that he had acceded TO
treat relative to peace because some
gentlemen who acted as go-betweens
had in confidential way indicated to
him that Gen. Diaz had made known
to them his irrevocatble resolution TO
retire as soon as peace IS estaoEsh-
ed; adds that Diaz's retirement IN
the present moment is the only thing
which will satisfy public opinion and
that he is satisfied that if Diaz makes
public his intention TO retire Il WILL
permit Of the pacifcation Of the
country in few days. It would be
difficult to obtain it in any otner
way. he adds.
For these reasons" says Madero,
land not doubling the patriotism OF
Gen. Diaz, wish to psesent TO the
envoy Of the government the fol-
lowing proposition.
Then. after referring to his p1o-
pcsal for Gen. Diaz and himself and
the vice president, Ramon Carral,
to resign and that &c Ia Barra sue
ceed to ehe presidency. calling
general election. he continues:
LAS far as am concerned am
Offering my resignation with great
.;eS RI
nv country as circumstances de-
mand. If Gen. Diaz is inspired by
the same patriotic sentiment. have
no doubt he will make public what
he has manifested In private. I beg
of YOU to make this proposition 10
the most favorable terms in order
not to offend in the slightest degree
and that it may not insist that ne
retire Immediately.
IT believe that the country VIII De-
come quiet alone through the an
nouucement of his intention to re-
tire from power and as soon as al!
the arrangements you are ehectlng
with the representative Of President
Diaz are put into operation.
The conference between Judge
Carabajal. the federal envoy. and the
rebel commissioners adjourned late
THURSDAY. Later the Madero state
ment was made public. It was eVi-
dent that the procedure with respect
to the resignation Of President Dlaz
had been the most eXacting problem
before the commissioners. Reoei
leaders declared peace impossible eA-
cept AS was indicated by Gen. Mad
ero In his statement. What Gen
Diaz would do. it was admitted oE
both sides, rested the solution OF the
