Headed by band of boy scouts who
met them outside of the city limits,
the Army of the Hudson suffra-

of their journey to Washington to-

use OF President Taft's name in con.

Nothing had been accomplished at
a late hour tonight looking toward
a speedy adjustment OF the situation
and cessation Of hostilities. Madero,
spurred on by his rdght-hand man,
General Huerta. who insisted that the
federal arms would win If the struggle
continued, preserved his uncompro-
missing attitude and announced to his
soldiers through his officers that any
rumors they had heard of his inten-
tion to resign were base lies, circu-
lated by his enemies. He sent word
that his men should not be alarmed
by such tidings but fight on and that
victory was almost within their grasp.
Encouraged by their commanders,
the federal troops took new heart and
tightened their lines in front Of the
heavily defended citadel occupied by
the rebels. There was desultory fir
ing this evening.
Offended and enraged by Madero's
refusal to submit to their demands to
tender his resignation the senate pre-
pared a manifesto for the public.

night and resumed shortly after day
break.

The Mexican senate voted in favor

the mandate.
Madero refused to resign.
The deputation drove through the
battle zone and addressed the sol.

sage from President Taft that inter

Madero was forced to resign.

and drew UP manifesto calling up
