City of Mexico. Feb. 11.-No signs
Of the resumption of the furious fight
Ing Of the hrst day of the Disz rebel
lion were apparent In the streets of the
capital city. except possibly the in
crcasing number OF troops within the
cfty and the squads of soldiers patrol
ing the streets.
There was an air of strained IN
certainty which might at n moment
develop another series Of street bat
ties like those In which General Ber-
nard Reyes md 200 Others persisted.
but General Diaz made no wnrlks
movement.
Ali depended upon the attitude of
President Madero. 1t was reported that
he had yielded TO a Percmptory de-
mand from General Diaz to resign the
presidency and that he had taken his

the action which congress might take
