Mexico City, Feb. 15.-The reported
resignation of President Madero was
mistake. II grew out OF the fact
that strong movement was on foot
to force Madero to resign, but this has
not as yet been successful.
President Madero this morning au.
thorized De LaBarra to see Diaz and
offer to settle their difficulties through
the appointment of a commission. De
LaBarra urged Diaz to accept, saying
there was imminent danger of foreign
Intervention. Diaz refused, saying the
only terms he would accept would be
the resignation of Madero and his en-
tire Cabinet. De LaBarra left and the
cannonading of the city was continued.
At Pedro Las Curain's suggestion a
Senate session was called, but numer-
GUS Senators, through apparent fear
of bullets, failed to attend. A brief
sitting was held this forenoon.
After adjournment Las Curain de-
clared it was by no means certain
that Madero would resign.
Unconfirmed rumors say some OF the
Senators favored demanding Madero's
RESIGNATION.
The Cuban Government asked per-
mission to send marines to guard its
legation in Mexico City.
Diaz's cannon this morning extend
ed their zone fire in all directions and
heavy exodus OF non-combatants
began.
General De Lao is camped near the
city with a force of rebels. and is in
communication with Diaz.

STANDARD OIL
CUT BIC MELON

New York, Feb. 15.-The shaking OF
the Standard Oil tree today resulted in
$39.332,000 plum" being dropped
into the hands OF Standard Oil of New
Jersey stockholders today.
John D. Rockefeller's share is esti-
mated at 100000
In announcing the disbursement of
$40 share the company wishes it to
be known that it is distribution and
not dividend. This gift is the largest
ever made in the history Of the Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey. 1t
comes from moneys owed the COM
pany by the former subsidiaries at the
time of dissolution in the early part
OF 1911. 1t is estimated that the COM
pany during the past year received
about $50,000,000 from subsidiaries.
The Vacuum Oil Company paid SS,-
23S.000 OF the foregoing total; the
Standard Oil Company Of California
about s10,000000; the Standard Oil of
New York s7,OOO,OOO, and San & Finch
$23S,44S. The Anglo-American Oil is
also thought to have discharged an
Indebtedness to the New Jersey cor
poration. The Prairie Oil and Gas
Company redeemed about sS,00O,O00 Of
bonds last year, which, it is believed,
were held by the Standard Oil Com
pany OF New Jersey.
The distribution has no bearing on
the regular quarterly dividends Of S.
share that has been paid by the
company. 1t is simply one Of many
extra cash and stock presents declared
by the "oil trust" subsidiaries, which
have swollen the bank accounts OF
persons who held their shares in the
face of the dissolution" ordered by
the Supreme Court.
