WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-No
official advice has been received
at the state department concern
ing the reported resignation of
President Madero. For sixteen
hours the department has been
cut off from communication with
the Mexican capital.
Efforts are being made by the state
department. the Pan American union
and the Mexican embassy to verify the
report, which is credited in official cir

Word reached the navy department.
today that the battleships Virginia and
Georgia have arrived at Vera Cruz and
the cruisers Colorado and Denver at
Mazatlan and Acapulco, respectively.
Men have not been landed, but the
battleships are attempting to get into
communication with the navy depart
ment to ask further instructions The
navy department is confident that the
bluejackets and marines will not have
to be landed in Vera Cruz within the
next "a hours.
A wireless relay from Key West to
Vera Cruz has been established.

The announcement OF Maderois res

Cueva. charge d'affaires of the embassy.
stated that he had no intimation that
the resignation had been submitted.
and expressed his belief that it was "a
mistake" Even the report that De La
Barra had been appointed provisional
president did not convince the envoy
that President Madero would be re-
sponsible for an act which might have
serious effect upon the national gov
eminent
Senior De La Cueva received assur-
ances that the government still is in
control of the situation, but these dis
patches were dated 4S hours back.
tin-Amer1can diplomats here state
that De La Barra has presidential as
piratlons, and that Madero would not
resign and give him the opportunity Of
posing as the savior of the nation. They
declare also that Felix Diaz IS unable
to retain grip on the reins of gov
eminent which can bring Mexico out Of

President Madero's artillery be-
gan a vigorous night lombard
ment of the rebel stronghold in
the arsenal shortly after mid
night. All the federal cannon
were trained upon Colonel Felix
Diaz s citadel, and the firing for
a time was as heavy as that of
any day time fighting.
al lIOOpS sent from the ma
tional palace took up posts in build
ings within range of the arsenal and
tried to pick off the rebel gunners
Judging from the fierceness of the at :
tack, this was looked upon as Madero's
dnai desperate effort to dislodge the
Insurgents. Many are supposed to have
been killed.
All the electric lights were extin-
guished as the shells tore down all the
poles and the battle ragged in darkness
which was necessarily pierced by the
fire from the guns.
The incessant night bombardment o.
the national palace and other federal
strongholds and the fierce reply of the
federal artillery indicated that Pres
ident MadeTo had attempted coup in
his reported decision to resign in order
to gain strategetic advantage over Colo
mel Diaz's insurgent forces.

but failed on the last.
Desp te the general impression
from the final count, the Cairo boys
will vnuch for Anna playing one Of
the best games they have been en-
gagged in this year. The Anna teala
though somewhat outClassed played
a hard clean game and deserved
credit for the manner in which 1t
took defeat. Quarterback Johnson
and Iialfback Hodge were the stars
for Anna, although they were well
supported by their own team mates.
For Cairo, Boots Rink deserves
especial mention for his handling
Of the forward passes which result,
ed in the two touch downs. Right
end Brown also played fine game
as usual. In the back field, Kus-
cner'a line rlunges and interfer-
ence work were up to his usual
standing which ranks him " tn the
best Of Southern Illinois fullbaeks.
Captain Mattinslv could always be

speed made several long end runs.
