4 LETTER FROM MEXICO
Curtain About to Fall on Last Act of Diaz Admin istration-Word of His Intention to Resign Re ceived at Guaymas.

In letter mailed last Tuesday from
 Guaymas, A. RedewilI. at present in
 Mexico on business. described the ef-
 feet which the announcement of Pres
 IdenJ Diaz's intention tO resign has
 had on the people of Sonora. MT RcdcWills interests have not carried hIm into the country removed from
 the main line of the Cananea, Yaqui
 x Pacific but he has made freGuent stops between Nogales and Guaymas and is well informed as to the extent and nature of the trouble in the prin- cipal cities of the western coast.
 Although II had not been officially announced last Tuesday that the pres ident would relinquish his office. and lccede Co the demands of the people word had come from Mexico City in which it was positively stated that he had signified his intention to yield. on- iN withholding definite action untl he could, in measure, pacify the country The word Was no sooner received than placards were printed and posted in conspicuous places and the plaza of the city was filled in less than an hour with surging mass Of people. shouting the names of Madero. Cabral and other leaders who have been prominent in the revolution.
 Nr. RcdeWill writes:
 The expression of popular feeling W"S dynamic. and seemed almost ter rifNinS as it certainly would have been to Diaz had he been present to see it, It sc"cmd that men and wo- men had come from every quarter of The city to take part in the demon Stratiuu, and the enthusiasm was boundIcss. Here and there speakers were raised above the crowd who at tempted to make themselves heard ahov" the tumult. as they declared of the month. and Ayould not refuse to bow to the will of the people.
 My business acquaintances in the city tell me that the public square has been mobbed nearly every night since the beginning of the insurrec- ton. and the spirit of discomfort here is fully as strong as it is reported to be elsewhere in Sonora. X little over a week ago a man was arrested for threatening the life of the president, but powerful influence secured his re- loass It iS thought that he had no in- tCution to carry out the threat but was merely giving vent to his extreme emotion. We have no such demon- strations in our country, and I con slider myself fortunate that have been able to see it."
 The officials iu charge of the rail- road running down from the west ern coast from Nogales had great in keeping their employees at work during tine earlier months oG the revolution. says Mir. Redewill. as the majority of the ldbOrers sympa- thize with the attempt to overthrow the old government. There was general exodus of able bodied men from Guayuras when it was learned that an army would be mustered. and there were few men in the city who dared to speak in support of Diaz in the public places of the city. The same conditions prevailed all over Mexico. and the feeling of the people throughout the short time of the in- has been so unanimous and so intense in it's hatred to the govern ucnt and it's determination to retaliatc for the injustice of the last presiden- tial election when Madero was thrown in jail and his supporters barred from the polls. that there have been few men in the country. not fortified among the federal soldiers. who ven- tured to express an opinion adverse to the cause of the revolution.
 The railroad between Guaymas and Nocales has been placed in good re- pair and traffic has been resumed.
