Prepared to Renew the
War in Mexico.

AT least has urged the advisabllty OF
yielding.
Proposed, as he has been for the
provisional presidency, De la Barra de-
clares his position is too delicate for
him TO talk for publication more than
to say-hours after the breaking of the
armistice-that the government is wait
ing for n reply TO the note sent to
Judge CarbajaI.
But De la Barra is not yet without
hope that satisfactory agreement
may be effected He does not believe
Madero will persist in his determine
tion to continue the war.
General Manuel Gonzales Cosio, min
lister Of war, is preparing for a re-
sumption Of hostlities on the assump
tion that Madero will not long delay
action.
Diaz Not Expected to Yield,
Unofficially the suggestion is made
that Madero intended by his state
ment that ,Iuarez would not he at
tackled before tomorrow To give the
government one more chance, though
without the formaIities of an arms
tice.
In the capital it is thought possible
that Diaz yet may avail himself of
the opportunity TO bring about peace
by giving in. but those who know his
personal character now say that having
ignored Madero's ultimat atum he will
not yield that until General Bernardo
Reyes arrives he will superintend the
direction of the war,
General Reyes should arrive about
May "a, and if the administration
should persist in It's attitude, the pop
ular belief is that Reyes is the only
hope the government has for the over
throw of the revolutionists. 1t was
said the government had ordered Reyes
to delay his arrival, but this was au
thoritafively denied.
For weeks Americans have been
leaving the city for the United States,
and today's news has resulted in a
sudden augmentation in the exodus.
Tonight's S train to Vera Cruz carried
numerous Americans, chiefly women
and children, and many unable TO OBJ
tain accommodations on the boats,
whose reservations are booked for three
weeks in advance, arc attempting to
get out of the country over the one
railroad left open to the north.
Americans in Danger.
Fear that further fighting will be fol-
lowed by intervention and that this
will result in scenes Of tragic disorder,
is expressed on every hand.
Belief that the United States will
take part in Mexican affairs was stim-
ulatcd this morning by the publication
in a newspaper here Of dispatch from
New York purporting to be copy of
Washington dispatch published in a
New York newspaper. According to
this President Taft had discussed at
length the situation, saying inter9en-
tion was imminent and furnishing the
details of the movement of troops and
warships, the landing at Vera Cruz and
even the amount of indemnity the Unit
ed States would ask at the close Of the
war. This afternoon the New York
newspaper telegraphed statement
denying the publication or receipt OF
any such story. Although not true, the
story has had its effect on the people,
many Of whom now believe the end of
independence is at hand. 1t is this
feeling which may grow into more
serious menace for Americans
