mands of Francisco !. Madero, jr., the
revolutionary leader, that he should
make known publicly his intention 10 re-
tire from Office. were silent
Statement Seems TO Confirm Reports.
Senior de la Barra. the Minister OF
Foreign Relations. was peremptorily
summoned 10 the Office Of the President
ct ! o'clock this afternoon. on arriving
there he found Senior Limantour. the
Minister Of Finance. who also had been
summoned They were in conference
with the President several hours. I'M
mediately afterwerd typewriter state
ments were issued by the Foreign once
70 all the newspapers saying that the re-
ception 10 the Gillian Minister. set 10:
tomorrow. and the dinner for the same
official scheduled for tomorrow night,
had been postponed until May II. The
reason for this change Of plans was
given as the slight illness Of the
President. The Presidents !ndisposition
IS known 20 be slight, but on orders
from his physician he must remain in
doors"
General Diaz is known TO have been
out riding in his automobile since the
statement was issued. This morning ne
was apparently IN his usual health.
This. IN connection with the fact that
the conference was held, gives rise TO
the belief that the announcement OF ais
intention 10 resign Will not be made De-
fore tomorrow at the earliest
pe IA earra for Acting President
IN the event Of his resignation there
will be no opposition on the part OF the
present government officials TO Senior oe
IA Bar-a becoming acting President
pending new elections
The question Of Vice-President Cor
rails resignation is not so simple. Be-
fore sailing for Europe ne refused to re-
sign. and since arriving there ne mas re-
heated his statement. But THIS IS re-
rsrded as merely incidental. Otncla!s
consider the resignation Of Diaz the only
solution Of the trouble. They reluctantly
admit the growing strength Of the repels
should Diaz antagonize them further'
