ARMIES WILL FIGHT AGAIN.
The Armistice Between the Mexican
Government and Revolutionist
Generals is Broken Of-President
Diaz Will Not Resign.

Ell Paso, Texas, May 6.-The arm
istice covering the Chihuahua district
and all unofficial communication be-
tween the Mexican Government and
the two revolutionists were broken Of
to-day and tonight the insurrecto
army under General Francisco l.
Madero, Jr, is preparing to pursue
the revolution as vigorously as ever.
Juarez will be the first point OF
attack, but the rebels probably will
not move for another twenty-four
hours.
Judge Carabajal, having notified
DR.. Vazquez Gomez, head Of the re-
bel peace commission, to-day that it
was impossible for him to continue
the peace negotiation on the basis
suggested by the rebels and the re-
bells having refused to extend the
armistice, the following statement
was issued by General Madero defin-
ing his position:
Madero's Statement.
"While Diaz is in power all laws
will be fictitious and all promises
tricks of war. With that idea and
in order to obtain peace in Mexico, /
asked him to make public the inten-
ton which he had manifested pri-
vately of resigning from the govern
ment. In order that he might not
feel humiliated or have any pretext to
deny such a request, / proposed that
1 also resign as Provisional President
even manifesting to him that would
accept as President for the interim a
member of his Cabinet, who occupies
post of much confidence and who
is correspondingly able to fill it.
"It is not possible for me TO do
more for my country and il the war
continues, 1t will be due solely to the
inexplicable ambition of General
DiaZ. He, therefore, will be alone
responsible before the civilized world
and in history for ali the misery
which the war may cause"
