FL Paso, Tex. May 5.--If President
Diaz does not announce BY tomorrow
noon his intention Of resigning. an at
| tack on Juereg as we'll as the end Of the
armistice for the Chihuahua district is
imminent.
This was the opinion Of insurgent lead
ers tonight. after waiting twenty-four
hours for the answer Of President Diaz
TO the suggestion made yesterday by
Francisco !. Madero. jr.. through his
peace commissioners TO Judge Carabsjal,
the federal envoy.
Madero was sounded tonight by one
Of the federal go-betweens TO ascertain
whether he would consent to an extern
sion Of the armistice, which expires to-
morrow. He replied that he would
answer that question tomorrow morn
ing. He said If an extension were asked
by the federal government he would de-
mand specific reasons before granting il.
Judge Carabajal and the other peace
commissioners remained in their hotel
all day. DR.. Vasquez Gomez. head Of
the rebel commission, said late tonight
that he was still awaiting word from
Judge Carabajal as to yesterdays propo-
sition. and that no more peace con-
ferences would be held until reply was
received.
Judge Carabajal thrust a perplexing
note into the days events by declaring
that he had not officially transmitted the
proposition OF the rebel commissioners.
He told the newspaper men that he had
no authority 70 receive any propositions
concerning President Diazs resignation,
lis instructions covering only specific
points concerning political reforms.
When told OF this Madero expressed
the opinion that perhaps Judge Cara
tajal was not willing 10 acknowledge the
submission Of the Diaz question to the
government Some of the federal 60
betweens admitted that it was their i'm
preston that the government received
Maderos proposition last night, but
could not say in what form, Il had been
gent.
AL the insurgent chiefs believe that
the government now is fully cognizant
of their demands, and that the delay in
the receipt OF an answer is due to con-
fusion in official circles in Mexico City.
Some Of them suspect friction in the
Cabinet OF the President.
Madero's Change Of Front.
Madero feels that hS has played his
trump card. He showed plainly to-day
the effect OF the nervous strain Of the
last few days. When the federal 60
betweens first talked to Madero. just be-
fore the first armistice vas arranged,
they found him ready TO accept General
Diaz as President provided certain re-
forms were instituted. Since then he has
been surrounded by the political chiefs Of
the revolution. and finally has been per
suaded that only through an announce
ment Of tie intended resignation Of Diaz
could peace be restored.
The change in Madero's views is said
10 have been due 10 the persuasion of
DR.. Vasquez Gomez. Before coming
here Gomez thought peace could be eff
fected with President Diaz in power.
and that informal assurances Of Presi-
dent DAYS intention TO resign would
suffice. When he arrived here. however,
and learned the determined position OF
revolutionary leaders from various parts
OF Mexico he is said to have devoted
himself at once TO the proposition which
Wss finally submitted 10 the government
envoy Yesterday.
There was n brief celebratio Of the
battle of Puebla in Madero's camp to-
day. Madero presented TO General Pas
cual Orozco. his commander in chief
silk Mexican flag. A few speeches we're
made by rebel leaders and band played
martial airs.
Madero tonight received a message
from q New York newspaper informing
him that anarchy was believed TO pre-
vail in Mexico and that the situation was
very grave. In reply ne denied that an
archy existed. asserting. however, that
the disturbed condition Of the country
was due to the fact that organized rev.
olution vas triumphing.
lie reiterated his views as expressed in
his ultimatum 10 Diaz. adding that II
President Diaz should announce his in
tentioh to resign it would be possible to
restore peace within eight days. the time
necessary 10 communicate with all the
rebel chiefs.
