FL paso. Iex, May 6.-The armis-
lice covering the Chihuahua district
and all unofficial communication be-
tween the Mexican government ana
the reYolutionists We're broken OH
today and tonight the insurrecto army
under General Francisco |. Madero,
Jr., is preparing to pursue the revo-
luton as vigorously as ever. Juarez
will be the first point of attack. but
the rebels will probably not move for
another twenty-four hours.
THE inexplicable ambition of Pres
ident Diaz, who refused to accede to
the rebel demand that he make public
announcement of his intention to re-
sign was the expression by which
General Madero himself tonight epit-
omized the reasons for the break.
Judge Carbajal having notified Dr..
Vasquez, head of the rebel peace COM
mission, today that 1t was impossible
for him to continue the peace negctia-
tions under the basis suggested by
the rebels, and the rebel chief having
refused to extend the armistice, the
following statement was issued by
General Madero defining his posi-
tion:
las is well known, ] invited the
people of Mexico to take up arms
against General Diaz when oil legal
I. means ~ hrines about the viii of TIE
people had been exhausted. The war
was Inevitable and Indispensable, and
already we have begun to- see It's
fruits. inasmuch as the principles
which the revolution proclaimed have
been accepted by General Diaz and
the members of his cabinet. But
that is not enough, for while General
Diaz is in power all laws will be fic-
ton and all his promises the tricks of
war. 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 humli-
ated or have any prextext to deny such
request, | proposed that / also should
resign as provisional president, even
manifesting to him that | would ad-
nit as president for the interim a
member OF his cabinet who occupies
a post Of much confidence and who is
correspondence able to fill it.
1T Is not possible for me to do
more for my country, and IL the war
continues 1t will be solely to the mex
plicable ambition of General Diaz.
He therefore will be alone RESPONSE
BILE 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 that
some announcement from President
Diaz would be forthcoming. They
were under the impression that the
government had received from Judge
Carpajal copy of their demand with
regard to the resignation of President
Diaz. The answer which Judge Car
bajal gave them. today. addressed to
DR.. Gomez, they found vague and
of that point.
DR.. Gomez had earlier today asked
Judge Carbajal for answer to the
rebel demands. DR.. Gomez wrote:
I'm view of the fact that the armis-
tice terminates today at IL O'Clock,
and since we have received no reply
to the proposition submitted on the
afternoon of May at the peace con-
ference, | beg of you to inform me
concerning the Instructions which
your government may have given on
that point as the time at our disposal
is very limited for negotiations in
event that they are to continue. |
communicate the above to you by
order OF the president of the provi-
sional government of Mexico"
Judge Carbajal had received several
ment during the day, but not until af-
ter the armistice had been terminated
did he send his answer, which fol-
lows:
With reference to your nots of to-
day, which you have directed to me,
l beg to inform you, as well as Senor
Francisco |. Madero, Jr., the leader
of the revolution, and the other gen.
tlemen commissioned for 1t. that 1t Is
impossible. as | expressed to you in
person, for me to continue the nego-
tiations on the basis which you were
disposed to place before me in the
conference held on the afternoon of
Mays4, for reasons of patriotism and
high political convenience which sus-
tains the attitude assumed by me In
that particular"
Immediately upon its receipt at the
Madero headquarters. DR.. Gomez sent
the following note to Judge Carbajal
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 we
proposed to you on the afternoon of
May 4, | sm pleased to call to your
attention the fact that in the last con-
Terence II was agreed that you would
give TO the government you represent
an account of our proposition, to
which you would make known a reply
the next day.
