FL Paso. Texas, May 5.-If DiaZ does
not announce by tomorrow noon his in
tention of resigning, an attack on
Juarez as well as the conclusion of the
armistice for the Chihuahua district,
are imminent This is the opinion Of
the insurrecto leaders tonight after
a twenty-four hours wait for an an
swer from Diaz to the suggestion
yesterday Of Madero. through peace
commissioners. to Judge Carbajal the
federal envoy.
Madero was approached tonight by
one of the federal go-betweens to
ascertain whether he would consent 10
an extension Of the armistice. which
expires tomorrow. He replied that he
would answer the question tomorrow
morning. He said that if an extension
is asked for by the federal government
he will demand specific reasons before
granting it. Madero feels that he has
the trump cards.
While at the beginning of the neSo-
tiations he was ready to accept DlaZ
as president. he has been persuaded
since then that only through an an
nouncement OF the intended resigna-
.ion Of Diaz can peace be restored.
The change in his views is said to
have been through the persuasion Of
DR.. Vasquez Gomez. head Of the rebel
peace commission. Gomez before COM
ing here was one of those who thought
that peace could be effected with Dlaz
in power and that informal assurances
of Diaz's intention TO resign would
suffice. When he arrived here, how
ever. and learned the determined po-
sition Of the revolutionary leaders IN
various parts of Mexico. he is said 10
have devoted himself at once to the
uroposition which was finally submit
ted to the government ENJOYS.
Tho peace commissioners remained
at their hotels today. Gomez said at 10
o'clock tonight that he was still await
ing word from Judge Carbajal as to
Yesterdays proposition. and that no
more peace conferences would be held
until reply is received. Carbajal him
self thrust a perplexing note into the
days events by declaring that ne hau
NOT officially transmitted the PROPOSE
ton of the rebel commissioners ne
told the newspaper men that ne mao
no authority to receive proposllioIis
concerning Diaz's resignation, his IN
structions covering only SPECIFIC points
concerning political reforms.
All the insurrectO chiefs. however
believe that the government IS now
fully cognizant of their demands, If not
officially, at any rate through the
nress and that the DELAY in the COM
ing of an answer is due To confusion
in official circles in Mexico City Some
of them scent friction in the CABINET oi
