Juarez, Mex. May 26-Francfsco l. MaderO, Jr., in a manifesto 10 the people of Mexico tonight resigned his position as provisional president. con ferred upon him by convention of revolutiOnists at the city of san Luis Potosi last October and called upon all Mexicans to support Senor de la BaTTa as the sole executive of Mexico.
 Madero places his forces at the dis pOsal Of de Ia Barra and pays high tribute to the character of the new executive, pointing out that he may we'll be considered "one of us"
 The manifesto was Madero's last act as provisional president. and he will now refer all inquiries of the in- surrecto forces or fnsurrecto civil au thorities to Senor Bsrra.
 Having relinquished a post which he believed would not permit him to enter American territory he accepted tonight an invitation by Fl Paso city officials to attend a public reception in his honor next Monday. following which he will probably leave for Mexico City to assist Barra. as a pri- vate citizen. in pacifying the country.
 The manifesto in part says: Eel low citizens: When by the san Luis PotOsi plan of last October I invited you to take up arms to recover our liberty and political rights. you all Concurred in my call and in six months by your heroic efforts. you have OverthroWn the dictatoriaI regime which for thirty-five years has oppressed our fatherland The triumph has been complete and in succession there will be justice equal ly for the rich and the poor. for the powerful and the humble Liberty has spread it's broad wings to ali MeXicans and. united fraternaHy. we will all work for the aggrandizement of our country.
 Having continued the revolution till it's conclusion it seems I should convoke the general elections accord ing to the stipulations of the san Luis PotOsi plan but the war of fratricide which We have been obliged to carry on was not a triumph fin tue determination of personalities. but in the victory our principles. From the moment we triumphed and we saw republic surely coming under the regime of liberty. Diaz and Ra mon Corral resolving to resign and to leave the power in the hands of SenOr de la Barra; from that mo ment, I say. it appeared to me that should act in the interests of fath- erland in putting a final stop to bloodshed and the war of fratricide
 But considering dS legitimate. the authority of the Senor Francisco de Ia Barra. inasmuch as he comes into power by the mutual agreement of both contending parties. it is impos- sible for me to assume charge of the provisional presidency Of the repub- lie and for that reason I hereby for mally resign before the nation.
 Thus. as all my companions fol- lowed me when I invited them to the election of last June and afterward you followed me to arms to recon quer our liberty. thus l hope now all will follow my efforts in reestablish- ing quickly the peace and tranquility of the whole republic to the end that very soon the Mexican people will enjoy that well being which is pro portionately due under the new regime of government inaugurated today with President de Ia Barra who received so high and honOred a post solely with the idea of serving his country. serving as an intermediary between the despotic government of Diaz ana the eminently- popular government which will result from the next gen eral elections
 ITO those who for so many years have been victims of tyranny and who fear some trick from their old oppressors. I say they should fear nothing. The people have already shown their Omnipotence and before I resigned the provisional presidency l agreed with SenOr de Ia Barra upon the necessity of Mexicans assuring the satisfaction of national aspirants. .
