Negotiations.

El Paso, Tex. May 6.-The armis-
tice covering the Chihuahua district
and all communication between the
Mexican government and the reyolu-
tionists were broken off today, and
tonight the insarrecto army under
General Madero is preparing to pur-
sue the revolution as vigorously as
ever.
Juarez will be the first point of at
tack. but the rebels probably viii not
move for another twenty-four hours.
"The inexplicabe ambition of
President Diaz," who refused to ac-
cede to the rebel demand that he
make public announcement of his in
tention to resign was the expression
by which General Madero epitomized
the reasons for the break.
Judge Carbajal today having noti-
fed DR.. Vasquez Gomez, head of the
rebel peace commission. that it was
impossible for him to continue the
peace negotiations on the basis sug-
gested by the rebels and the rebel
chief, having refused to extend the
armistice, the following statement
was issued by General Madero. defin-
ing his position:
"As is well known | invited the
people of Mexico to take up arms
against Diaz when all legal means to
bring about the will of the people had
failed. This was inevitable and in
dispensable, and already We have be-
gun to see its fruits, iuasmuch as the
principle which the revolution pro
claimed have been accepted by Gen.
Diaz and the members of his cabinet.
But that is not enough for while
General Diaz is in power, all laws will
be fictitious and all promises tricks.
with that idea and in order to obtain
peace in Mexico ! asked him to make
public the intention which he had
manifested privately of resigning from
the government. In order that he
might not feel humiliated or have any
pretext to deny such a request, |
proposed that | also resign as pro-
visional president. even manifesting
to him that would accept, as presi-
dent for the interim. member OF
his cabinet, who occupies post of
much confidence and who is CORE
spondingly able TO fill it.
1T is not possible for me to do
more for my country and if the war
continues it will be due solely to the
inexplicable ambition of General
Diaz. He, thereforey will be alone re-
sponsible before the civilized world
and in history for all the misery
which the war may cause
Though determined to pursue their
demands to the last. ditch the rebel
leaders tonight plainly showed their
disappointment at the outcome of the
days events. They had thought some
announcement from President Diaz
would be forthcoming. They were
under the impression that the govern
ment had received from Judge Carba-
jail copy of their demand with re-
gard to the resignation of President
Diaz The answer which Judge Car
bajal gave them today addressed to
DR.. Gomez they found vague and in
adequate and without explanation oil
that point. DIR. Gomez had earlier to-
day asked Judge Carbaial for an an
swer to the rebel demands. DR.
Gomez request follows
