El Paso, Tex, May 4.-The peace commissioners of the Mexican revo- futionists formally presented today to Judge Carbajal, the federal envoy, q statement signed by Francisco 1. Madero, Dr., appealing 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 presi : dent of the republic, Senor Francisco | I. Madero, Jr, suggested that both President Diag and Vice President Corral resign and that Senor De La Barra. the minister of foreign rela- tons, become president ad interim until "a general electon shall have been held. The statement, coudhed in most courteous Spanish phrases, in- forms President Diaz there is no other way out of the present difficulty and that word from him will bring peace in few days.
 Senor Madero, in his statement, called upon President Diaz particular ' ly to make known to the people oi Mexico his "irrevocable intention to retire from power as soon as peace is established in the country,
 General Madero, somewhat alarmed by the extent of the insurrection which he has created, and now desir- ous of making every effort to save the country from a state of anarchy, f. nally wrote the following instructions to his peace commissioners, Dr. Vas quez Gomez, Senor Francisco l. Ma dero. Sr.. and Senor Pino Surez

 This resolution appears to be highly patriotic because in the pres ent moment, it is the only one whicf can satify public opinion and I an lconvinced that if General Diaz makes public this intention it will permit u! to pacify the country in a very few Idays, matter which is difficult tC obtain in other ways.
 For these reasons, and not doubt ling the patriotism of General Diaz II wish you to present to the envo! of the government the following pro lposition:
 In order to assure the immediat' specification of Mexico and to furnisl to the world an example which vii Increase the prestige of our country both contending leaders, General Por lfirio Diaz, as wcl sas myself as pro lvisional president, and vice presiden lof the republica Ramon Corral, shal resign and in the interim, the minis ter of foreign relations, Senor Fran lcisco De La Barra, shall be president lcalling a general election, accordin! to the constitution.
 As far as I am concerned. l an offering my resignation with grea satisfaction, as wish only to serv, my country as circumstances demand If General Daz is inspired by tn same patriotic sentiment I have n, doubt he will make public what h has manifested in private. beg 0 you to make this proposition in tn most favorable terms in order not t offend in the slightest degree and tina you may not insist that he retire i'm mediately.
 T believe that the country will be come quiet alone through the an nouncement of his intention to retir from power, and as soon as all tn arrneements yon are effecting will
