Mr.. Sims.

FL Paso, Tex. May 5-Peace nego-

rectos and the Mexican government
were suspended today to await an an
swer from Mexico City to the propo-
sition submitted yesterday by Fran
cisco I. Madero, Jr.. that President
Diaz make public his intention to re-
sign. The federal representatives adj
mitted that they did not expect a fa-
vorable answer.
Cherishing the hope that Diaz would
make good his privately announced
intention Of laying down the reins of
government by a public announcement
that he has done SO and thus end at
once the revolution that is tearing
Mexico to pieces, insurrecto leaders
at the Madero camp waited expect
antly for news.
Judge Carbajal, the government
peace envoy, remained in his room at
the hotel here to receive telegraphic
instructions as to how to deal with
the rebel demand for the presidents
resignation.
The ENJOYS of both sides deemed it
useless to go to the neutral meeting

Mexico CITY I-neusy

.ueXlcO Clty JMeASy
Mexico City, May 5-Contradicting
the information of the war Office last
night, Ambrosio Figueroa, repre-
senting the rebels in Guerrero and
Morelos, said today that no agree
ment for peace has been made be-
tween him and Minister of War
Cosio. The conference thus far. he
states, were merely those of cour-
tesy.
F.lgueroa admits that his campaign
in the states OF Guerro and Morelos
is under the general direction of
Francisco l. Madero, Jr., who he says,
has instructed him by telegraph to
await the result of the peace confer
ence at the border.
Considerable uneasiness among the
foreigners is noticeable. A new
cause Of apprehension on the part of
these is the reported impending as
sault by the rebels upon Monterey
and Saltillo, the capital of the state
of Chihuahua on the Mexican Nor
thern railway, which WOULD mean
the cutting of all communication to
the north, with possibility that
railroad traffic to the south might
also be interrupted.
While few believe that an assault
of Mexico City would be successful,
the possibility of it's being beseiged
is causing many foreigners to leave.
The Ward line steamer which sailed
from Vera Cruz last night, carried
many refugees, most of them women.
A Sundays calm marked the ami
versary OF the battle of Puebla,
which had been heralded as the date
set for an attack on the capital by the
revolutionists and the forced resig-
nation of President Diaz. Up to noon
there had been no indication of disor-
der in any quarter.

day that any men had returned to

it was admitted that several had taken
positions up town. Sam Grace said
fifteen more employees walked out of

that Everything is peaceable and sat

Although two carloads of strike
breakers have been taken to the west,
none have been left in Omaha. About
twenty were taken to the Council
Bluffs shops to replace the men who
had walked ont, but as far as can be
learned now no new men have been
employed at the Omaha shops. Scv-
eral cots have been placed in the
shops and food has been taken there,
but labor leaders declare it is for the
