leaves his post, the new incumbent
would be Minister De La Barra. the
choice Of the rebels thepselves for
provisional president Wha course
affairs would take. once the vice.
president or the minister was in power
remains to be seen.
Rebels Will be Satisfied.
Although the announcement OF Gen
eral Diaz that he would resign once
his country was g. peace will not
reach the rebels through official chan
nels, II can be regarded by them as
nothing less han compliance with
their chief demand Officials and
civilians in the capital believe that
Madero will not qlhbble over the
method and that IL he Is sincere in his
desire to end the war, Ne will at once
order the cessation OF hostilities.
II is no longer denied that great
majority of the reyolutionists In all
parts Of the republic are acting either
directly or indirectly under the orders
OF Madero, and II is fact we'll estab-
lished that numerous bands. suspected
of fighting independen ly. have. during
the past week, signifed desire for
pgce. but only in accordance with the
decision reached at Juarez. The lead
ers of these bands have announced
that they would continue the rebellion
or would stop as Madero instructed.
Few in Mexico knew OF the result OF
the cabinet meeting unil the news
was published In extras. Shocked by
the news Of Saturday, the citizens ~
the capital spent Sunday in despond-
ency The usual crowds at the band
concerts were lacking, and throughout
the city gloom and pessimism were
reflected on every coun enance. The
reaction was immediate upon the re-
ceipt of the news that General Diaz
had opened the way for peace even
while the public was awaiting news
of battle.
"The document is clear. simple and
concise. and shows the utmost sin
cerity." said Senor De La Barra last
night 1T Is bound .oproduce great
impression u this country in the
United States and III Europe. All the
world may now know where lies the
responsibility for the future OF the
country"

Mexico City, May S.-General Por-
|firio Diaz Sunday night issued a mani
festo 0 The people Of Mexico declar-
ing his Intention to resign the presi-
dency as soon as peace Is restored.
In this manner the president has
virtually acceded TO the demands OF
Francisco |. Madero that he make an
nouncement 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. according
TO the dictates OF my conscience,
am sure that my resignation will not
be followed by anarchy"
The president declared that his
determination no. to relinquish the
presidency at this time was not due
to vanity or love Of power because,
as he pointed out. power at this time
had no attraction. accompanied as 1t
is by tremendous responsibilities and
worries. He said he was prompted
solely by desire 10 conserve he best
interests OF his country.
The president made II clear that he
does not propose TO abandon the
presidency while his country is at war
and that he would not do so at any
time under compulsion.

Il was at cabinet meeting Sunday

He showed further that the govern

Of the country.
Events leading TO the beginning OF
negotiations for peace were taken up
and II was indicated that it was the
disposition TO take into consideration
those PROPOSITIONS which he reyolu-
tionists hhd to make.
The governments position Is that
Genersl Diaz could not have made
public statement at an earlier mo-
ment. and Il is indicated that the
reyolutionk failed to. observe the
amenities hi the peace negotiations by
making THIN public. Officially 1t was
said today that Madero and his ad-
yisers wese guilty OF betraying an
