day formally presented to Judge Cara
bajal. the federal envoy. statement
signed by Francisco I. Madero. jr.. ap-
pealng To President Diaz to make public
the assurances given privately that he
intended to resign.
After offering his own resignation as
President of the provisional government
Of the republic. Madero suggested that
both President Diaz and Vice President
Corral resign. and that Sehor de la
Barra. Minister Of Foreign Relations. be
come President until general election
could be held
The statement in most courteous
Spanish phrases informs President Diaz
that there is no other way out OF the diff
fculty. and that a word from him will
bring peace in a few days.
Madero calls on President Diaz par
ticuarly to make known TO the people Of
Mexico his "irrevocable decision to retire
from power as soon as peace Is estab-
lished in the country
Madero declares this statement was
made by Diaz to "go-betweens" inter
ested in restoring peace.
Hot Debate Among Rebel Leaders.
The statement was presented by the
rebel commissioners at the negotiations,
which began early to-day. only after
heated discussion among the revolution
ist leaders Some Of them had declared
that II was absolutely essential that
President Daz make public announce
ment Of his intention to resign in order
TO bring about complete tranquility.
Peace they said would not follow an
agreement, backed only by private as
surances. which hardly could be trans
mitted to militant leaders in the south
ern and central parts of the republic.
Some of the rebel chiefs went so far as
to address a letter TO Madero. saying that
unless he asked for the immediate resig-
nation Of President Diaz. or at least
public announcement Of his future In
tentions. they would not support the
peace negotiations.
Madero. somewhat alarmed by the OK
tent Of the insurrection which he has
created and nov desirous OF making
every effort 10 save the country from
state of anarchy, finally wrote instruc-
tious to his peace commissioners. Or.

have acceded 10 treat about those condl- |
tions because some gentlemen. acting as
go betweens have in a confidential way
indicated TO me that General Diaz has
made known to them his trrevocable
resolution to retire from power soon

This resolution appears to me to be
highly patriotic because at the present
