WOULD DIE FIRST

Mexico City, Mex, Feb. 15.-Prcsidpnt
MaderO said this morning he would
die rather than resign. New pressure
viii be brought to bear on him today,
following the failure of the conferences
last night TO induce him to give up the
office
The fighting which started last night
was stopped at 4:30 this morning. Ma
derOs forces attacked desperately dur
ing the night attack on the arsenal.
Diaz' gunners replied with deadly ac-
curacy. After the customary hour for
breakfast, the battle was resumed. BY
S o'clock the cannOnading had increased
in fury, Diaz inflicting heavy damage
on the national palace.
Congress will attempt to meet later to-
day for the sole purpose Of receiving
MaderO'S resignation. There is no rea-
son to expect it, however, so long as
General Huerta keeps the federal troops
loyal Some of the MaderO soldiers are
tired of fighting for the president, and
it is said they would desert, if they
thought they could reach Diaz in the
arsenal in safety. The disaffectiOn is
not alarming yet, however.

ported resignation of President MaderO
was a mistake. 1t grew out of the fact
that strong movement is on foot to
force Madero to resign but this has not
vet been successful.
MaderO this morning authorized De In
Barra to see Diaz and offer to settle
their difficulties through the appoint
ment of commission. De Ia Barra
urged Diaz to accept, saying there was
imminent danger Of foreign interven-
tion. Diaz refused saying the only
terms he would accept would be tn. re-
signation Of Mader) and his entire cabi-
net.
DE La Barra left and the cannonading
Of the city continued.
AT the suggestion Of foreign minister,
Pedro Lascurian, session of the senate
was called, but numerous senator's
through apparent fear of bullets, failed
to attend A brief sitting was held this
afternoon. After adjournment, Las
curian declared it is by no means certain
that MaderO will resign.
The Cuban government has asked per
mission TO send marines TO guar its
legation in Mexico City. The Diaz can
non this morning extended their strong
fire in all directions and heavy exodus
Of n-cOmbatants began. General Del

the ma ajOrity of the senate left for the ma
tiOnal palace to demand the resignation

NO CHANCE FOR PEACE

Mexico City, Feb. u, 2.333 p. m.-Hopes
Of peace seem to have fallen completely
fat.
MaderO, though he declared this morn
ing he had no present intention Of resign
ing, said he was willing to make any per-
sOnal sacrifice, which he was convinced
was fer his country's good. Ambassador
Wilson and Pedro LaScurin. the Mexican
foreign minister, were in conference for
several hours during the night, but their
efforts to arrange an armistice were vain.
Diaz' firmhess was indicated by the ac-
tivity Of his gunners, who continued the
bOmbardment at intervals during the
night. After dawn they increased their
fight. 1t was more violent than at any
previous stage of the seven days fighting.
Most of those in Mexico City who know
President Maderos constancy of pur-
pose and stubbornness were pessimistic
today regarding his resignation. Others,
