comes no word that he is yet willing
to announce his intention of resign
ing. Members of the cabinet refuse to
discuss the situation.
In the capital il 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 ultimatum
he will not yield. and that until Cen
eral Bernardo Reyes arrives he will
superintend the direction of the war.
Reyes should arrive on May "a, and
if the administration persists in it's
attitude the popular belief is that
Reyes is the only hope the govern
ment has for the overthrow of the
revolutionists.
For weeks Americans have been
leaving the city for the United States
and tOday's news resulted in a sudden
augmentation of the exodus. To-

weeks in advance. Many are attempt

Fear that further fighting will be
followed by intervention and that this
will result in scenes of tragic disorder

MApERo's STATEMENT.

AS it is well known, I invited the
people Of Mexico to take up arms
against Diaz when all legal means to
bring about the will of the people
had been exhausted. The war was
inevitable and indispensable. and al
ready we have begun to see its fruits,
inasmuch as the principles which the
revolution proclaimed have been ac-
cepted by General Diaz and the mem
bers Of his cabinet. But that is not
enough. for while General Diaz is. IN
power all laws will be a fiction, all
the promises tricks of war With
this idea and in order to obtain peace
in Mexico, I asked him to make pub
lie the intention which he had man
ifested privately, of resigning from
the government. In order that he
might not feel Inundated or have any
pretext to deny such a request, l pro-
posed that 1 also resign as pro-
visiunal president, even manifesting
to him that l would accept as pres
ident. in the interim a member of his
cabinet who occupies a post Of much
confidence. and who is cOrrespondingly
able to fill it,
1T is not possible for me TO do
more for my country and if the war
continues. it viii be due solely to the
inexplicable ambition of General DiaZ.
He therefore will be alone responsible
To the civilized world and in history
for all the misery which the war may
cause

GETTING READY EoR RATrLE.

Everyone in the insurrecto camp is
preparing for the re-opening of hostil-
tiles. Some of the rebel political
chiefs have donned khaki uniforms in
readiness for active service. While
General Madero has tacitly let it be
known that he will not attack Juarez
tonight. General Navarro's garrison is
scouting the hills to the south in an
ticipatiOn of the insurrecto advance.
The federals have fortified themselves
well and believe they can easily
withstand the rebel attack The
revolutiOnists are scattered in the
hills which surround Juarez They
have dug many trenches and tonight
are waiting in camp for orders to
move. which are expected tomorrow.
Judge Carabajal, il was said tonight,
intends to return to Mexico CITY Dr.
Gomez. confidential agent of the revolu-
tiOnists in the United States declared
today that it was not unlikely that he
would return to his post in Washing
ton.
The prospect for a peaceful agree
ment has suddenly faded from view
and though some of the unofficial go
betweens have not relaxed their eff
forts, the revolutiOnists believe their
only alternative is to fight.

We take this opportunity Uf ex-
pressing our thanks to ynu and all
others who have helped secure the
passage of this law
one year ago the bill was rejected
by a large majority. while it pissed
the late congress with only twenty
per cent opposition.
We believe this change in sentiment
has been largely due to our CAM

in the diplomatic service enabled you
to render valuable service.
With renewed thanks and great
appreciation,
Cordially yours,

LAST FRUITLEss CONFERENCE.

All the revolutionary leaders with
the exception of DR.. Vasquez Gomez,
were in conference tonight with Senor
Braniff one of the go-betweens in
the peace Negotiations. Braniff made
a last appeal to them to prevent a
resumption of hostilities. 1t is in
ferred that Senor Braniff explained to
them confidentially the contents of
long message which he received from
Minister Limantour this afternoon.
This conference adjourned at 10:30
o'clock but it was announced that il
had been without result.
Senior Braniff is said to have told
the revolutionists that the govern
ment was disposed to grant everything
they demanded provided they would
make it possible for DiaZ to retire
decorously, without the humiliation of
a public statement. Some Of the
rebel leaders declared in reply that
the condition of the country was such
that nothing but a public statement
from Diaz would appease the people.
Carabajal tonight is still optimistic
as to peace

Immediately upon its receipt at the

the following note to Judge car
abajal: Referring to your note of
today, in which you make known that
ii is not possible for YOU to continue
the negotiations on the basis which

pended"

rebels that the president announce his

iNsuRREcTos DISAPPOINTED.

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 that
some announcement from President
DiaZ would be forthcoming. They
were under the impression that the
government had received from Judge
Carabajal a copy Of their demands
with regard to the resignation Of
President Diaz. The answer which
Judge Carabajal gave them today, ad-
dressed to DIR. Gomez, they found
vague and inadequate and without
explanation of that point. DR. Gomez
had earlier today asked Judge Caraba-
jail for an answer to the rebel de-
mands.
DR. Gomez request follows: in
view of the fact that the armistice
terminates today at u o'clock and
since we have received no reply to
the proposition submitted on the aft
ernoon Of May 4. at the peace con-
ference. beg of YOU to inform me

your government may have given on
