Mexico City, May 20.-It is
definitely but not officially an
nounced that President Diaz will
hand in his resignation to congress
on Wednesday next. All of the
cabinet will resign at the same time.
Diaz will 60 to some hacienda in
the republic to rest for a short
while, and afterward will 60 to
Europe.
Limantour, minister of finance,
has announced that he will 60 to
Paris as soon as he is able to ar
range his private affairs at home.
Gov. Lenadrid, of the state of
Colima, surrendered Colima yester-
day when the rebels entered the
town. The governor made a speech
from the balcony of the state house,
asking the revolutionists to take
charge and prevent rioting Miguel
Tepete was Immediately elected
provisional governor by the rebels.
CUANTLA TAKEN.
Cuantla was taken late last night by
the rebels. After hard fight the feu-
erals retreated to Cuernavaca to re-en-
force the garrison there. Zepata, leading
the rebels near Cuernavaca, IS believed
not to be respecting the armistice 1t is
said that he intends to attack that city
Immediately. The garrison is fortifying
the town and preparing for a strong re-
sistance.
1t is the intention of Figueroa to pro-
ceed against Cuernavaca to help Zapata.
He refuses to recognize the armistice ana
claims that II is only ruse for the gov
ernment to gain more time, and says
that Diaz has no intention of resigning
but is merely attempting to get Madero
to Mexico City and hold him. He de-
clared that as soon as he shall take
Cuernavaca he would proceed against
Mexico City.
Diaz's old trick is TO play one band
of his enemies against another, and he
appears to be doing this now in at
tempting to placate MaderO and then
use him later against Figueroa. But
Figueroa now far oVershadows either
Madero or Reyes in public opinion. and
can demand more men and money than
either of those two. The Cientificios and
Catholics will back Reyes with money,
but few men in Mexico are Catholics,
and If the rebels get in here the Cien-
tIficios will not have enough to buy
tortillas.
Despite the armistice. a patrol of more
than 1900 men is marching around this
city night and day watching for an at
tack from Figueroa or other bands COM
ing in from Puebla or Vera Cruz.
Gov. Dehesa. of Vera Cruz, is here
and is believed to have presented an
ultimatum to Diaz regarding the land
ing of Reyes, but he says he has come
here merely to visit Diaz on the oc-
casion Of the latter's Illness

AEROPLANES TO TRAVEL

London, May 20.-Eighteen
hours across the Atlantic Ocean

for 1920, made by A. B. Roe. an
aerial expert Of England. Ac-
cording to Roe. evolution Of
aeroplanes tends toward craft of
q construction which will be
proved both airworthy and sea-
worthy, thus enabling them to

MEYER CBNSURBS
NAVAL OFFICERS
Reprimand Given for Neg.

Secretary Of the Navy Meyer has writ
ten letters Of eensurs TO Commander !, v.
Chase, commanding ea.esr Of the monitor
Tallahassee, and Naval Constructor II. q.
Gillmer. on duty at the Norfolk Navy
Yard. on account Of alleged neglect of
duty In connection with the ordnance sx-
pertinent held on the monitor Puritan last
November In the Newport News Middle
Ground, which resulted IN the sinking Of
the vessel,
Tho monitor sank twenty hours after
two charges Of 200 pounds each Of nitro
gelatin were exploded against the turret
armor and against the water-line armor
belt. Tho fact that the vessel remained
anoat for twenty hours after the explo-
sions seemed to indicate that some one
had been negligent in not towing her to
the Norfolk yard. Immediately after the
experiment.
A court Of inquiry, appointed by Secre-
tary Meyer, recommended the court-mar-
tial Of several officers and the censuring
Of others. and also criticised the manner
IN which the test was handled.
Rear Admiral Austin NJ. Knight. presi-
dent Of the special board on naval ord
nance, was in charge Of the test. Mr..
Meyer felt, It is said. that Admiral Knight
was more responsible than any other
officer connected with the experiemnt and
ordered his court-martial.
He was honorably acquitted, notwith-
standing the fact that Mr.. Meyer re-
turned the verdict Of acquittal to the
court for reconsideration. Under the cir
cumstances, Mr.. Meyer felt that 1t would
do no good to order the court-martial Of
the other officers. who were also held to
be negligent by the court Of inquiry.
The other officers who were recon-
mended for disciplinary measures were
reprimanded or consured. It is said that
there will be no further action in con-
nection with the Puritan incident.

MADER0 HAS FEAR
OF STAB IN BACK
Assassination Possible on
Visit to President.
By ALFRED HENRY LEWIS.


Special to The Washington Herald.
El Paso, May 2o.-Nothing Of blood
curdling or thrilling has happened during
the past twenty-four hours, therefore,
nothing Of blood curdling thrill and in
terest can be wired. Even the streets
have been guiltless OF the spur jingling
presence Of Villa.
Madero did right and wisely in re-
shaping his plan to visit DiaZ. Thou
sands were slain that Diaz might step to
his present position. Is it to be supposed
that in order to retain 1t he would balk
at the killing of one more?
In the death or removal of Madero, the
Diaz-Limantour administration believes
it would pull the kingpin of the revolu-
ton, which would then break down.
'Madero never showed himself so sapient
as when he came to last nights de-
ferring of his meeting with the dangerous
Diaz-doubly dangerous when brought to
final bay.
Should Diaz destroy Madero, no mat
ter how, the waves of a Mexican for
getfulness would roll over it and bury
il as 10 either manner or method within
a week.
Just as there was secret Dlaz order
out to kill or capture Madero at the
earliest opportunity, so also are there
hundreds waiting by Madero's order
about Vera Cruz to kill or capture Reyes
the moment he sets his foot on Mexican
soil.
The El Paso streets are full OF the
driftwood of the revolution. To-day I
saw an American boy who had been shot
through both hands. He felt no regret,
but only pride. He went into the Juarez
fight without a gun. and waited until
man was killed 20 get one. He had fired
his seventh shot, he said. and was just
beginning to enjoy himself when he was
shot through both hands at once.

Ohio's Consolation.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

One compensation clearly exists for the
shocking exposure Of rottenness in the
Ohio legislature. It has frightened reac-
ticnary members out Of their attitude of
obstruction and united the representa-
ton Of the people as nothing else since
the beginning Of the session has been
able to do. At last It seems probable that
the bulk Of the Harmon programme Of
legislation will be written
into the statutes; that the wishes Of the
people recorded at the polls last fall will
be obeyed. There is satisfaction in this
feature Of the situation at Columbus. It
is at least some consolation for the ex.
istence Of conditions which otherwise
shame Ohio before the world.

A SOLUTION IN FIRE DRILLS.

To the Editor Of Tho Tribune.
Sir: There has been considerable dis
cussion regarding the loss of life in the
Washington Place fire. Assuming that the
fire escapes were not adequate and that
there were other contributing causes Ia
tho great loss Of life. believe that at
,east - per cent of the lives could have
been saved If there had been an efficient
fire drill such as is practised in our public
schools and other institutions
The best preventive of fire panic,
which always means unnecessary loss of
life. Is q cool head and n positive knowl-
edge of the location OF exits. This is the
auto mechanical result OF fire drills. 1 be-
lieye that the children who attend public
schools would In case OF fire in their
homes. be a help to their household By
keeping them cool and not madly rushing
and killing each other in wild stampede.
There should he a law passed making IL
compulsory 10 have a fire drill once a
month in every place employing twenty
five or more persons, and this should be
conducted on the same lines as the fire
drills in the public schools.
