El Paso, Tex. May G.--The armls-
tce covering the Chihuahua district
and all unofficial communications be-
tween the Mexican government and
the revolutionists were broken off to-
day and tonight the insurrectO army
under General Francisco J. Mldero,
Jr., Is preparing to pursue the revolu-
ton as vigorously as ever. Juarez
will be the first point of attack, but
the rebels probably viii not move for
another "a hours,
"Ghe ineXplicable ambition OF Pres
ident Diaz' who refused to accede to
the rebel demand that he make public
announcement of his intention to re-
sign, wcs the expression by which
General Madero himself tonight epit-
omized the reason for the break.
Judge Carabajal having notified DR..
Nasquez Gomez, head of the rebel
peace negotiations on the basis sug-
gested by the rebels, and the rebel
chief having refused to extend the
armistce the following statement was
issued by General Madero defining
his position
AS 1t is we'll known | invited the
people Of Mexico to take up arms
against Diaz when all legal means to
bring about the will of the people had
been exhausted. The war was inevit-
able and Indispensable and already
we have begun to see its fruits, inas-
much as the principles which the
revolutionists proclaimed have been
accepted by General Diaz and the
members of his cabinet But this is
not enough For while General Diaz
Is in power all laws will be fictitious s.
and all promises tricks of war.
with that idea and in order to OBJ
tain peace in Mexico | asked him to
make public the intention which he
had manifested privately of resigning
from the government. In order that
he might not feel Inundated or have
any preteXt to deny such request
] proposed that | also resign as pro-
visional president even manifesting
to him that | would accept as presi-
dent for the interim member of his
cabinet who occsupies post of much
confidence and who is correspondingly
able to fill t.
at is not possible for me to do
more for my country, and II the war
continues 1t will be due solely to the
inexplcable ambition of General Diaz
He. therefore, will be alone respon-
sible for the war, and in history for
al The misery which the war may
cause"
Though determined TO pursue their
days events. They had thought that
demands to the last ditch, the rebel
leaders tonight plainly showed their
disappointment at the outcome of the
days events, having fully expected
some announcement from President
Diaz would be forthcoming.

VIII re No Intervention.
Washington, MAJ 6.-The suspen-
sion Of the armistice and even the
active resumption of hostillties by the
insurrectos viii cause no change In the
determnati IN of the United States to
refrain from interven ion In Mexico.
The President Is as firm as a clock In
his purpose to live up to the oblIga-
ton OF neutrality. and even the kill
ing of Americans, provided 1t were
an incident of warfare, would not be
recorded az sufficient ground for a
single American soldier to cross the
international boundry
This statement was made today
without reservation by the highest
authority next to the President and
undoubtedly reflected the latter's poll
ley. He insists on absolute technical
adherence to the instruction already
given to the American military COM
manders, to keep their soldiers north
OK the line. Therefore General Wood,
chief Of staff, has again cautioned the
army officers to use civilian messen-
gers in case they find 1t necessary to
communica.' with the federal or In
surrectos on Mexican soil.
Diaz Must Make Statement.
FL Paso, May 6.-All the revolu-
tionary leaders with the exception OF

appeal to them to prevent n resump-
tion of hostilities. 1t Is Inferred
that he explained to them conflden-

which he received from Minister
Limantour this afternoon. Senior
Braniff is said to have told the revo-
lutionists that the government was
disposed to grant everything demand.
