received the said reply, l called to
your attention my note of this
Observing the first mat
ter to which you make reference in
your note, l acknowledge the fact that
peace negotiations have been suspend
ed
Just whether Judge Carbajal actu-'
ally transmitted to the Mexican gov
ernment the proposition made by the
rebels that President Diaz announce
his intention TO resign has not been
definitely confirmed, but the rebel
leaders are of the opinion that the
government did not wish to acknowl-
edge, out of courtesy TO President
Diaz, that they had entertained such
a proposition.
Everybody in the insurrecto camp
was preparing for the reopening of
hostilities. Even some of the rebel
political chiefs donned khaki uni
forms in readiness for civil service
While General Madero has tacitly let
II be known that he will not at
tack Juarez tonight, General Navar-
ro's garrison tonight Is scouting the
hills to the north in anticipation of an
insurrecto advance.
The federals have fortified them
selves well and believe they can easily
withstand the rebel attack. The reb-
els are scattered in the hills which
surround Juarez. They have dpg
trenches tonight and are busying
themselves in camp for orders to
move, which are expected tomorrow.
Judge Carbajal, it was said tonight.
intends to return soon to Mexico City.
DIR. Gomez, confidential agent of the
revolutionists in the United States,
declared tonight it was not unlikely
that he would return to his post In
Washington. The prospect for a
peaceful agreement has suddenly fad
ed from view. and though some of
the unofficial go<betweens have not
relaxed their efforts. the revolution
lists believe their only alternative is
to fight.
All the revolutionary leaders with
the exception of DIR. Vasquez Gomez,
were in conference tonight with Senior
Braniff, one of the go-betweens in the
peace negotiations. Senior Braniff
made a last appeal to them to pre-
vent resumption of hostilities. 1t is
inferred that he explained to them,
confidentially. the contents of long
MESSAGE which he received from Min
conference was still in session at $3.50
o'clock.
The conference adjourned at 10: 80
O'Clock, but it was announced that it
had been without results.
Senior Braniff is said to have told
the revolutionists that the government
was disposed to grant everything de-
manded provided they would make it
possible for President Diaz to retire
decorously and without the humilia-
tion of a public statement. Some Of
the rebel leaders declared in reply
that the condition of the country was
such that nothing but public state
ment from President Diaz would ap-
pease the people.
Judge Carbajal in an interview to-
night. declared he still was optlmis-
tic about peace. He admitted that
the rebel demands had been transmit
ted by him to the government, but
that he had received no instructions
in, his osodentisls 10 discuss. the ques-
tion OF the Diaz resignation.
Fe gave the impression that while
he had not asked for instructions on
the subject, merely transmitting the
rebel demands, he had refused to
continue negotiations because the gov
ernment of its own initiative had no :
extended his instructions to cover that
point.
