 Mexico City, May 25-In the midst Of a drizzling rain which only damp ened their enthusiasm, groups of men, accompanied in some instances by women. paraded about the city, early today, carrying banners inscribed with revolutionary doctrines. Mexican reg ulars, with ball cartridges in their guns and more in their belts, who earlier in the night secured contro of a dangerous situation by killing and wounding many demonstrators held positions in the main streets of the city.
 Confined to his bed in the palace with a high fever and suffering both physical and mental anguish the aged ruler, responsible for the first real riot ing in the capital since the inception of the revolution, who has vacilitat- ed from day to day, promising to re- sign and then failing to make good, was being subjected to pressure from his intimates to relinquish the presi- dency and thus put an end to the trouble. He was told that he was being held personally responsible for the slaughter, last night, and that unless he retired, from the presidency immediately his own life was in dang CT. He was even warned that the loy- alty of the army could not be further strained. Under these arguments, how
 
 ently obsessed with the idea that he was still Diaz the dictator.
 The danger of the situation lies in the fact that in Tehauntepec, Guadal- jara, Zacatecas, Jalisco, as we'll as here, where the Dtaz forces have been supreme, demonstrations are in pro- gress The people have thrown off all pretense of loyalty and are openly proclaiming their adherence to Ma dero. Many are demanding that Diaz be refused permission to leave the country until he is compelled to re- place in the national treasury, the funds his followers have taken from weakened Nothing more emphatically proved this than the fact that. in the capital. after their friends and lead- CTS had been shot down in their tracks the anti-Diaz demonstrators did not disperse. Instead, the half dozen large mobs broke up into smaller groups and the groups kept marching and shouting. "viva Madero," and yelling for the downfall of the present gov ernment.
 It was only after they had chance to realize the temper of the mobS that the officers In command of the troops ordered that unless> buildings were actually broken into or violence was offered foreigners there was to be no more shooting. Fear of repr1sals when the Maderoists should come into control, actuated the authorities in these orders.
 While the rioting in the city pro- gressed, the presidential palace was damned with visitors. Some were per sonal friends. Others were foreign representatives who wanted to find out how much longer the country was to be held in suspense awaiting the resignation of the President. None saw Diaz. He was in his bed attended by a nurse and Mime. Diaz in person. She came downstairs for a few mo- ments to greet Henry Lane Wilson, the American Ambassador. She con- fided to him that she was greatly in fear of the outcome of the Presidents illness. So far as can be learned she failed to indicate whether the resig- nation of the President would be sent to Congress, today.
 Supporters of Madero are pointing out today that his influence through out the trying situation has been for peace They hold Diaz and Diaz alone responsible for last nights kill ings, the exact number the police and soldiers so far refuse to make known. Alfredo Robles Dominguez, Madero's representative, tt the very outset of the disorders induced the publication of a special extra edition of Fl Her aldo in which he urged the people to resort to no violence but to wait pa tiently for the retirement of Diaz which, he said, was sure to come. He assured the people that the resigna- tions of both Diaz and Corral would be submitted to Congress, today, and immediately charged that Senor De La Barra would qualify as his pro- visiona1 president.
 The Maderoists insisted, today, that it was only this personal assurance of Senor Dominguez which prevented a general assault on the palace and the other governmental buildings last night. And there are plenty of armed men in the city, they say, to undertake a. successful revolt should it become necessary,
