O|Az WILL ADVOCATE.
PRESIDENT OF MEXICO WILL Ac.
cEDE TO DEMANDS OF THE
LEADER OF INsuRREcTos.
Issues a Manifesto to the People De-
claring His Intention to Resign
Presidency as Soon as He Is Con-
WINGED That Peace is Restored.

Mexico City.-General Porfro Diaz
issued a manifesto to the people OF
Mexico Sunday night, declaring his
intention to resign the presidency as
| soon as peace is restored. In this
manner the president has virtually
acceded to the demands of Francisco
I. Madero that he make announce
ment Of such intention.
AS to when peace is actually re-
stored, General Diaz reserves the
right to be the Judge. In the words
Of the manifesto, it will be when, &C
cording to the dictates of my con-
science, l am sure that my resigna-
ton will not be followed by anarchy"
The president said his determine
ton not to relinquish the presidency
at this time was not due to vanity Or
to love of power, because, as he
pointed out, power at this time had no
attraction, accompanied as it is by
tremendous responsibilities and
worry. He said he was prompted
solely by a desire to conserve the
best interests of his country.
The president made it clear he does
not propose to abandon the presi-
dency while MS country is at war and
that he would not do so at any time
under compulSiOn.
Only in a general way does the
manifesto refer to the revolution.
The governments position is that
General Diaz could not have made a
public statement at an earlier mo-
emnt and 1t is indicated that the revo-
l%utionists failed to observe the amen
tiles Of the peace negotiations by max
ing them public.
1t is stated officially that Madero
and his advisers were guilty of be-
raging an agreement by injecting into
the conference, either secretly or
openly, the qeustion Of the presidents
resignation. 1t was declared that it
had been agreed in conference hal
this point should not be permitted TO
become an issue.
Proffering the declaration of his
willingness to detire, the president
discussed the political condition of
the country and the efforts that have
been made by the government to es-
peace. He called attention to
the progress already made in the d.
of adopting the an~ti-re-elec-
ton law, and declared that the pro-
ject of the reform of the electoral
laws and of the judiciary were being
He showed further that the
government in all it's acts wished to
conform to the demand of the people
interests of the country.

STIRRING CARER OF DiAZ.
Soldier Statesman Has Eight Times
Been Chosen President of Mexico.

Mexico City.--Porfiro Diaz was
born September Is, 1880, on the ami.
versary of Mexican independence.
Oaxaca was his birthplace. His father
was a Spaniard and his mother of In
dian extraction. His mother at first
intended ha he should enter the
church, but finally yielded to his de-
sires SO that he pursued the studies
then required for a lawyers career.
While thus engaged, the invasion of
Mexican territory by American troops
occurred. and young Diaz, with other
fellow students, offered his services
to the government of Oaxaca. The
governor accepted their patriotic Of
fer, but did not require the students
to go into the battlefield. Diaz served
in the revolt against General Santa
Ana, II supported Juarez in his war
of reform which began in 1855 and
ended in 1858. At the age of 80 he
was general of a brigade, fighting the
French when Napoleon III. tried to
place Macmillan on the Mexican
throne. Macmillan and his generals
were captured by him in 1857, and
soon after Mexico City %capitulated.
Diaz was regularly elected president
of Mexico for the first time in 1877.
He was succeeded at the n OF his
term by General Manuel Gonzales.
His browning achievement in the Con.
zales administration was tie abroga.
ton of the law against presidential
reelection. and in 1854 he was elect.
ed president for the second time.
There has been no other president in
Mexico since then, and until last sum.
mer the opposition to him never at.
tanned serious proportions. He was
elected president for the eighth time

FWashington.-The story printed
on Saturday that General Leonard
WRod. chief of staff of the army, at
an informal gathering of members Of
the house committee on military af-

to work infinite mischief
and endanger the lives of Americans
in Mexico by infaming the natives
and even to plunge the two countries
into war.
