Another manifesto signed by Do

served by citizens. Both of the cir
culars were dated May "a. They were
distributed broadcast today
All the wires of the Federal Tele-
graph Company and of the Mexican
Telegraph company. which operates
the cable line to Galveston, were cut
early today at point between Esper-
anza and Apizaco. II Is presumed
to have been the work of bandits who
several days ago tore up the railroad
tracks in that vicinity.
Senior de La Barra received a COM
mittee of five deputies from the
chamber tonight and was officially
notified of the resignation of Gener-
al Porfirio Daz and the advance Of
Mr.. de La Barra to fill that position
during the ad interim period.
Previous to that time throughout
the day Mr.. de La Barra remained
in the department of foreign relations
disposing of urgent business. Many
times during the afternoon crowds of
manifestants gathered in front of
foreign relations, and at 5 D. m. Mr.
de La Barra, responding to the calls
of the multitude, stepped to the bal
cony and bowed acknowledgment to
the greetings. Speeches were then
made to the new president by two
young men in the crowd, and to each
of these Mr.. de La Barra responded
His words urged peace and order and
We're loudly cheered.
The one dramatic speech of the day
was made by Deputy Jose Aspe.
In introducing the presidents letter
of resignation, Deputy Aspe delivered
one of the most brilliant oratorical
efforts with which the chamber has
ever rung. His voice was repeatedly
drowned by applause and the floor
fairly shook with the demonstration
which followed his peforation.
President Porfirio Diaz Is dead.
Long live Citizen Porfirio Diaz."
The speaker admitted that General
Diaz had been called upon TO account
for his errors by a people who had
progre ssed faster than the author Of
their progress had realized. but he de-
clared the good that General Diaz had
done would live forever in history and
outweigh his mistakes
long address on the constitutional
points involved in the change of gov
ernment was delivered by Deputy
Melgarego.
Every entrance to the chamber and
all street approaches were guarded
by armed mounted police. Only those
who came hours ahead Of the time,
got within this Gordon. They are
quiet and well behaved. Outside the
wall of police the throng cheered
themselves hoarse, but gave no trou-
ble Street cars running near the
chamber were compelled to stop by
the density of the crowd and their
roofs soon swarmed with the eager
spectators. 4
Every car scheduled to go over
these routes was commandered by the
men and boys many blocks before the
center of interest was reached.
While the motormen were working
their way at a slow pace through the
crowd. the boys cheered and shouted
and threw their hats In the air and
the cars moved beyond where the
chamber could be seen. The volunteer
passengers thereupon would desert
and run back to take possession of
other cars.
To the city generally the acceptance
of the resignation of the president was
by the clang of the bells
of the cathedral and by two discharg-
es of cannon.
For many squares on every side of
the chamber the streets were black
with people. Great crowds were scat
tered over the Zocolo when the ring
ing of bells and the firing of cannon
the triumph of the revolu-
tion. With one accord they rushed
toward the chamber, but their pro-
gress was halted by the multitude
ahead.
AS the crowds melted away after
the session by hundreds and by thou
sands, they fell into irregular march
ing clubs. They carried flags and |
banners of the national green, white
and red, Autographs of Madero |
laurel wreaths brooms-apparently |
symbolic of the clean sweep for the |
rebels--and hundreds of them sported |
slaves and poles after the manner of
with rifles.
Practically all business was suspend
ed. Everywhere windows were shut
a
night this afternoon had becSme ex-
cited but harmless celebrants.
Ii threatened rain during the ses-
sion Of deputies, but the sun as If in
harmony with the jubilation of the
