Diaz's Retirement Unnecessary

a. That the retirement of President Diaz is not necessary to insure com- pliance by the government with it's promises. but, on the contrary, would reinstate the demoralizing precedent of constituted authority yielding to force of arms.
 A. That compromise not only would demonstrate to the world the good sense, coolness and patriotism of tho Mexican public and thus obtain a com plete retrieval of its momentarily lost prestige and credit abroad but would result in the creation of political par ties similar to those who have brought about in the United States the effect i've government by the people and for the people.
 We have presented the above resolu. ton to the directors of the revolution and pointed out the terrible responsi- bility that would fall on them If they cast aside these public demands for reconciliation and plunge our country into calamatious adventures Americans continued to visit the in- surrecto camp throughout the day and met with a hearty reception.
 Mrs. C. H. Converse, mother of one of the American boys ordered released from the Juarez prison by President Diaz today, was greatly elated this afternoon when shown the Associated Press dispatches from Mexico City. stating that the boys had been prom- ised their liberty. She is worried, however. lest her son might be in- iured if Juarez Is attacked. It will be several days before the order for their release reaches Juarez, and meantime the boys must remain in jail.
 Francisco Isabel Uriarte. Mexican consul at Douglas, Ariz., passed through E1 Paso last night on his way to Mex- leo City to report to Minister De La Barra regarding the fighting at Agua Prieta. The consul said he had urgent orders to make all possible haste to Mexico City and it is believed his trip will have an important bearing upon the international situation resulting from the killing and wounding of Americans in Douglas.

Madero Is Obstinate

Messages were sent to Madero on several occasions during the day. All day Maderos unvaried statement to reporters and correspondents was that nothing had developed to make him change his decision of yesterday to open battle today. He busied himself receiving messages from the Fl Paso iunta, visiting with his wife, who came from San Antonio, and receiving call CTS. Among the messa ges received was telegram from Globe. Ariz4 offering him hundred Americans forhis army.
 Mir Braniff and MT. Obregon. peace commissioners, today gave out a state- ment of their proposals for settling the trouble and declaring that Madero of the war, inasmuch as he could at present accept a compromise with good grace.
 They declare that they represent
 perfectly defined public sentiment in Mexico Their statement says:
 "The public demands are:
 q. That concrete guarantee be forth coming from the Mexican government that the promises and other already partly executed reforms will be im- planted and developed as rapidly as pfac cticable.
 "2 That with this guarantee per fected, the armed rebellion has carried irs avowed principle into triumph and as a consequence ceases thereafter to be justified and its persistence renders it dangerous to our future peace and welfare and therefore unpa triotic and undeserving of further public support.
