( ceived from Minister Jose Yves -s . IImantour this afternoon.
 ( The conference adjourned at 1o:3o = < o'clock and it was announced that = %- it had been without result. Fl Paso, Tex, May 6-The armistice covering the Chihuahua district and all communication between the Mexican gov ernment and the revolutionists were broken off today. and tonight the insur- recto army under Gen. Francisco l. Ma dero, Jr, is preparing to pursue the rev oIution as vigorously as ever.
 Juarez will be the first point of attack, but the rebels probably will not move for another 24 hours
 "The inexplieable ambition of President Diaz." who refused to accede to the rebel demand that he make public announce ment of his intention to resign, was the expression by which General Madero to- night epitomized the reasons for the break
 Judge carbajal having notified pr. Vas ouez Gomez. head of the rebel peace commission today that it was impossible for him to continue the peace negotia- I'tions on the basis suggested by the rebels and the rebel chief having refused to extend the armistice, the following state ment was issued by General Madero de- fning his position:
 "As 1t is well known. l invited the peo- plc of Mexico to take np arms against Diaz when all legal means to bring about the will of the people had been entrusted This was inevitable and indispensable and already we have begun to see its fruits inasmuch as the principles whicf the revolution proclaimed have been ac- cepted by Gereral T1iaa end the mem bers of his cabinet.
 But that is not enough. for while General Dlaz is fin power all laws VII be fictitious and all promises tricks. With that idea and in order to obtain peace in Mexico. I asked him to make public | the intention which he had manifested privately of resgning from the govern ment. In order that he might not feel humilated or have any preteXt 10 deny such A request, I proposed that l also resign as provisional president even man ifesting to him that l would accept, as president for the interim, a member Of his cabinet who occupies post of much confidence and who is correspondlngiy able to fill it.
 Can Do No More
 Tt is not possible for me to do more for my country and if the war continues it will be due solely to the inexpiicabie ambition of President Diaz He, there- fore. will alone be responsible to the civilized world, and in history, for all the misery which the war may cause"
 Though determined to pursue their de- mands to the last ditch, the rebel lead CTS tonight plainly showed their disap- | poiutment of the outcome of the day proceedings They had thought some an nouncement from President Diaz woulo be forthcoming. They were under tho | impression that the government had re- ceived from Judge Carbajal copy o their demand with regard to the resigna' ton of President Diaz. The answer whicf Judge Carbajal gave them today, ad dressed to Dr. Gomez, they found vague and inadequate and without explanation of that point. pr. Gomez had earlier today asked Judge Carba1al for an an swer to the rebel demands. Dr. Gomez's request follows:
 Tn view of the fact that the armistice terminates today at 12 o'clock and since we have received no reply to the proposl- ton submitted on the afternoon of May { atsthe peace conference. I beg of you to inform me concerning the instructions which your government may have given ons that point. as the time at our disposei is limited for negotiations in the event that they are to continue. I give the above to you by order of the president of the provisional, government of Mexico.
 Judge Carbajal had received several messages from the Mexican government during the day but not until after the armistice had been terminated did nc send his answer, which follows:
 "with reference to your note of today. which you have directed to me, l beg to inform you. as well as Senor Francisco I. Madero Jr. the leader Of the revolution. and the other gentlemen commissioned TOT 1t. that it is impossible. as I expressed to vou in person. for me to continue the negotiations on the basis which you were disposed to place before me in the con- ference held on the afternoon of May A. for reasons of patriotism and high politi- cal convenience which sustain the attituce assumed by me in that particular
 Gomez Sends Note
 Immediately upon its reception in the Madero headquarters. Dr. Gomez sent the following note to Judge Carbajal:
 "Referring to your note of today ir which you make known that 1t Is not pos sible for you to continue the negotiations on the basis which we proposed on the afternoon of May 4. I am pleased to cal your attention to the fact that In tht last conference 1t was agreed that you would give to the government you repre- sent an account of our proposition te which you would make known repl, the next day.
 For that reason. and not having re ceived the said reply called it to youl attention in my note of this morning Observing the first matter to which vol make reference in your note. aclnowl edge the fact that peace negotiations hav' suspended.'' | Just whether Judge Carbajal actually transmitted to the Mexican government the proposition made by the rebels tha' President Diaz announce his intention tt resign has not heen definitely confirmed but the rebel leaders are of the opinior that inc anuernnAnf did not wish to aC
