Mexico City. March 25.-The DIaz
cabinet resigned In a body al spe-
e.al meeting OF that board The pres
ident deferred action upon the resig-
nations.
The announcement brings a crisis
IN the Mexican war situation which
an here. official or civilian. believe
can be settled only by miracle.
That the resignation OF the cabinet
viii cause the United States immedi-
afely 10 intervene. is the consensus OF
opinion.
The impossibili,y OF President Diaz
recovering from the blow dealt him
hv the desertion OF his ministers. the
eject OF which, coupled with the dec
lsraiions OF Finance Minister Liman-
tour prior TO his resignation that re-
forms demanded by the rebels must
De- brought about. is Individually an
increase OF the opposition 10 the Diaz
government. is declared by members
Of both factions here.
Reasons for designations.
The reason officially given for the
action OF the ministers in resigning is
the belief that II will contribute 10
the establishment Of peace and
facilitate the reforms which are In
contemplauon.
Contrary 20 this view statements
ana occurrences happening prior TO
the return OF Senior Limantour TO
Mexico City are being recalled as
showing the real reason for the deser-
ton OF Diaz by his cabinet.
i was then declared that Enrique
c. Creel. minister for foreign affairs.
had become dissatisfied with Presi-
dent Diaz's methods because Creel
had lost many hundreds OF thousands
az dollars because OF the spread OF
The revolution. and that he faced the
situation OF probably losing many
hundreds OF thousands more.
Senior Limantour's position was also
considered as being opposed TO Presi
den, Diazs methods. the view being
based upon the finance minister's IN
teryiew published from Paris. That
Lmantour was so opposed TO Dia7
has been borne out by his utterances
since his return TO Mexico City. TO the
effect that he was astonished at the
extent 10 which the feeling against
President Diazs government exists
among the people. and that the re
forms demanded by the people mus
De granted.
Financial Pressure Reported.
!, IS further declared here in inter
ested circles that the Morgan-Rocke
Teller interests have had much 70 do
with the present situation. That these
interests demanded. through Seno
Lmantour. that an end be put TO thu
insurrection by granting the reformi
demanded and that Diaz declined Z
accede 10 these requests is assigned
as another reason for the resignation

Again II is pointed out that asid'
