II Morning Journal Special Leases' Wire)
Mexico City, May 7. General Por
firio Diaz tonight Issued a manifesto
to the people of Mexico, declaring his
Intention to resign the presidency us
Boon as peace la restored. In this
manner the president has virtually ac
ceded to the demands of Francisco I.
Madero that he make announcement
of such Intention,
Diaz could not huve made a pub
lic statement at an earlier moment,
and it indicated that the revolution
ists failed to observe the amenities of
the peace negotiations by making
them public.
It was stated" tonight officially that
Madero and his advisers .were guilty
of betraying an agreement by inject
ing Into the conference either secret
ly or openly, the question of the
president's, .resignation. It. was de
clared that It hud bee h agreed In con
fidence that this point should not be
permitted to become an Issue.
Proffering the declaration of his
willingness to retire, the president
dlscussod th0 political conditions of
the country and the efforts that have
been made by the government to es
tablish peace. Ho called attention to
the progress already made In the di
rection of adopting the anti-re-elec
tion law and declared that the proj
ect of the reform of the electoral
laws and of the judiciary were being
studied.
He showed further thnt the govern
ment In all its acts wished to conform
to the demand of the people insofar
as It Is wise and for the best interests
of the country.
Events leading to the beginning or
negotiations for peace were taken up
nna It was indicatod that it was the
imposition to take into consideration
any proposition which the revolution
ists' had to make.
IleKarding the point upon which
the rupture of negotiations occurred
the manifesto declared that com
pliance with the demand for Diaz's
resignation could not be entertained
because his Immediate resignation
would doubtless precipitate a condi
tion of anarchy throughout the coun
try, while on the other hand, if his
retirement was fixed fur .a futon1
date, the government would not have
sufficient stability to assure the re
turn of normal conditions pending
the selection of a new executive.
In concluding, General Mass ap
pealed to the patriotism of the peo
ple, calling them to act together for
the peace and progress of the nation,
and eulogized the army.
At no place in the manifesto Is
there mention of a new election. Ac
cording to the constitution resigna
tion is equivalent t' political death
n far as It affects the succession.
The vice president would assume the
executive chair, and he In turn would
he followed by the minister of for
eign affairs. In this case the vice
president is sick and In Europe on
an eight month's leave of absence In
an endeavor to regain his health.
Should Vice President Corral not
return when the president leaves his
post the new Incumbent would be
Minister de La Hurra, the choice 01
the rebels for provisional president.
What course affairs will lake once
the vice president or the minister
was In power remains to bo seen.
Although the announcement of
General Dluz, that he would resign
once his country was st ponce, will
not reach the rebels through official
channels, It can be regarded by them
s nothing less th'in compliance with
heir chief demand. Official and i'Tv
IHsns in the capltol believe Madero
wll! not quibble over the method and
(SJf he Is Bincere In his desire to end
theNwar. he will at once order the
cessation of hostilities.
It lino longer denied that ft great
major If of the revolutionists In the
fepubiioNnro acting, cither directly or
lndire tly under the orders of Ma
dero, nnJ 't Is well established that
numerous) bands, suspected of fight
ing Jndeii' ndently, have algniricd a
dettlre for ' '"'see, but only In accord
ance with ,ne d'elslon reached at
Juarez.

Few in Meif c kn of the result
of the cabinet meeting until the news
was published in extras tonight,
Shocked by the news of yesterday,
the citizens of the capital spent Sun
day In despondency. The usual
crowds at the band concerts were
lacking and throughout the city
gloom and pessimism were reflected
on every countenance. The reaction
was Immediate upon the receipt of
the news that General Diaz had
opened the way for peace even while
the public was awaiting news of a
battle.
"The document is clear, simple and
concise, and shows the utmost sin
cerity," said Minister de La Harra to
night. "It is bound to produce - a
great impression in this country, In
the United States and in Europe. All
the world may know where lies the
responsibility for the future o the
country."
As t when peace Is actually re
stored, General Diaz reserves the
right to be the judge. In other words
of the manifesto, "It will be when his
conscience tells him he will not leave
his country in anarchy."
The president said his determina
tion not to relinquish the presidency
at this time was not due to vanity or
love of power, because, as he pointed
out, power at this time had no at
traction accompanied as it is by tre
mendous responsibilities and worry.
He said he was prompted solely by a
desire to conserve the best Interests of
his country.
The president made it clear he does
not propose to abandon the presi
dency while his country is at war
and that he would not do so any time
under compulsion.
President Diaz's manifesto will be
made public tomorrow, but It will not
be sent officially to Judge Carbajal
for formal transmission to Dr. Vas
quez Gomez. The promise of the
president is made to the people of
Mexico and its receipt by the revolu
tionists will be Incidental. That it
will be sent to them immediately,
however, by private Individuals and
regarded as entirely satisfactory by
them is taken for granted.
It was at a cubinet inciting this
afternoon General Diaz announced to
his ministers his decision. For two
hours and a half they discussed the
terms of the manifesto and at the
conclusion of the meeting there re
mained nothing to do but to secure
its official promulgation.
Only in general way does the
manifesto refer to the revolution.
The government's position is that
General Diaz could not make a pub
lic statement of his intentions In this
regard while the country Is in tur
moil. DIAZ MANIFESTO MAY
t'.U :SK CIIANGK OP PLAN'S.
El Paso, Tex., May 7. The move
ment of troops had begun when an
Associated Press representative tele
phoned the Madero heudiiuurtcrs and
read the dispatch from Mexico City.
General Paseual Orosco received It
and said it probably would rtop the
movement of the army, Gcnerul
orosco himself mounted his horse and
galloped away with the news to the
tent a mile away where General Mo
dem had retired for the night.
Dr. Vasquez Gomez, head of the
rebel peace commission, declared tint
upon the arrival of official Informa
tion concerning the manifesto, and
upon receiving further Instructions
from General Madero peace negotia
tions would be resumed.
"The primary condition has been
satisfied" he declared, "the other con
ditlons will not present any dlfflcul-.
ties because they are the fulfillment
of secondary matters. The manifesto
of General Diaz shows his good de
sire for the welfare of the country."
Judge Carbajal, the federal envoy,
received the news without comment.
He said he had received no private
advices but It Is assumed he will learn
of the matter later.
The Insurrectos' camp became noisy
with shouts of joy as soon as the news
od the Diaz announcement spread
through the camp, Bugles were blown
n i) fires were kindled around which
th men danced with Joy. General
M.'&ero Immediately returned from
his tent to headquarters there to
avvWt further news, lie was plainly
exited and when members of his
family arrived in automobiles he em
braced ana kissed them all.
"The triumph of the revolution,"
was the phrase most heard, but Inter
mingled with the noisy chatter at the
Madero headquarters was many a
word of praise for General Diaz.
WASHINGTON PLKASEO
WITH SI DDEX SHUT.
Washington, May 7. President Taft
and official Washington, generally,
quickly learned of the sudden shift In
the Mexican situation, the announce
ment of President DUz thnt he would
lesion in the Interest of peace and the
previous order to Francisco I. Madero
for the marching of the insurrecto
forces southward from the border and
on toward the capital.
The news of the withdrawal of In
surrectionary forces from a position
so close to the American towns as to
constitute a constant source of fric
tion and a menace to the good feeling
between the two peoples was viewed
here with relief.
The later announcement from Mex
tce of the president's self-effacement
In order to affect peace in his troubled
country was in line with the Wash
ington administration's hope for peace
and with Mexican Ambassodar Zama
cona's recent prediction that peace
soon would be restored.
President Taft and his family were
spending the evening at home when
he was unofficially advised of the suc
cession of events in Mexico. He had
no comment to make public.
Ambassador Zamacona had not
been advised by his government as to
any of these proceedings, his sole of
ficial advices resulting In his Issuance
of a statement denying the report that
business places had been closed and
traffic In the streots prohibited as a
result of the riot in Mexico City.
"Perfect order and quiet prevail in
the city" announced the ambassador.
Jose Vasconcolas, Dr. Gomez's as
sistant, who took the place of Gomez
as diplomatic agent here when the
latter left to Join Madelo, tonight tele
graphed to the editor of El Pius at
Mexico City: 1
, appeal to the patriotism of your
Sketch of Life of Porfirio
Diaz and Incidents Leading
Up.
Porfliio Diaz was born Sep
tember 15, 1830, on the anniver
sary of Mexican Independence.
Oaxaca was his birthplace. His
futher was a Spaniard and his
mother was of Indian extraction.
Hlg mother at first Intended that
he should enter the church, but
finally yielded to his desires so
that he pursued the studies then
required for a lawyer's career.
While thus engaged the Invas
ion of Mexican territory by
American troops occurred, and
young Diaz with other fellow
students, offered his services to
the governor of Oaxaca. The gov
ernor accepted their patriotic
offer, but did not require the
students to go Into the battle
field. Diaz served in the revolt
against General Santa Ana and
supported Juarez In his war of
reform, which began In 1855 and
ended in 1S58. At the age of
twenty-nine he was general of a
.brigade, fighting , the French
when Napoleon III tried to place
Maximilian on the Mexican '
throne. Maximilian and his gen
erals were captured . by him In
1887, and soon after Mexico City
capitulated. ,
Diaz was regularly elected
president of Mexico for the first
time In 1877. ' He Was succeeded
at the end of his term by Gen
eral Manuel Gonzales. His crown
ing achievement In the Gonzales'
administration was the abroga
tion of the law against presiden
tial re-election and In 1884 he
was elected president for the sec
ond time. There has been no
other president In Mexico since
then and until lust summer the
opposition to him never attained
serious proportions. He was
elected president for the eighth
time June 26, 1810.
President Diaz's first wife, a
daughter of Dr. Ortego Iteyes,
died during his first administra
tion. In 1882 he married Car
man Romero Rublo, daughter of
Manuel Romero Rublo, a noted
luwyer and statesman. He has
no children by his second wife.
His children by his first wife are:
Amada (Mrs. Ignaclo do La Tor
re) ; Lieutenant Colonel porfirio
Dlas and Luz (Mrs. F. Rlncon
Gallerdo).
Although the political cam- '
paign brought to light much dis
satisfaction with his continued
rule, the disturbances which cul
minated in tne present insurrec
tion did not arise until after his
opponents found thcmsolves beat
en at thP polls.
Francisco I. Madero, member
of one of Mexico's wealthiest
families was candidate for the
presidency against Diaz, the prin
cipal plunk of his plutfoim being
anti-re-election. In November,
1 it 10, Madero was convicted of
inciting the people to rebellion
and was put In jail.
He escaped Into Texas and
called upon his followers to Join
In u general revolt on November
20. Already there had been scat
tered disturbances throughout'
the republic, but the Insurrection
took Its first definite form on
this date. The Maderlsts Issued
a manifesto In which they said
the recent election hud been en
nowspaper to deny rumors of Ameri
can Intervention, as up to the present
time no such danger exists. American
anti-foreign demonstrations would
be highly improper and unjustifiable.
"In connection with stories of pos
sible invasion of Mexiacn soil, Briga
dier General Wltherspoon. head of
the army war college, explained that
It was the business of the war college
along the Hie" similar to the work
of a naval Board of strategy to plan
conquest In time of peace as well as in
war, and that from time to time prac
tically every country of the glob Is
selected as the scene for hypothetical
military operations. Mexico was no
exception to the general rule su far
as this strategic planning Is concern
ed. "Madero is the only one who can
give orders to atop fighting," suld 8e
nor Gonzales Garza, of the Insurrecto
party, recently In connection with
formal demand for the surrender of
Juarez, recently In connection wlttl
formal demand for the surrender of
Juarez, and Madero was the only one
who could direct the withdrawal of
the Insurrecto from the International
line. His action was In conformance
with the Washington administration s
demand upon the Mexican government
that American border towns must not
be endangered by Mexican bullets.
The formal exchange of notes along
this line was with the regular Mexi
can officials, but the Insurrectory au
thoritleg have kept In close touch
with the viewpoint of the Washing
ton government.
"The chief obstacle to peace has
now been removed, and I believe quiet
will soon be restored in my country,"
said Mr. Vasconcelos tonight. He
thinks Madero s proposed march on
Mexico City will not be carried ou
tomorrow as expected and that peare
negotiations would be resumed a
once. . '
Since President Diaz has conceded
the great point for which the revolu,
tlonists contended, Mr. Vasconcelos le
confident it will be only a matter of
days before terms . of wacc will be
(Continued on Pugo it, Column 1.)
to Present Revolution
forced at the point of the bay
onet, charged Diaz with responsi
bility for the uprising1, and : de
clared his election null and void.
The principle of non-re-electlon
was said to be the supremo law
of the republic and Diaz was de
clared a usurper.
This manifesto was dated Oc
tober 5 and was circulated pri
vately for more than a month
before It became public. On No
vember 23 Madero proclaimed
himself provisional president of
Mexico and was formally Inaug
urated on his estate at Coahuila
on December l.the same day
that Diaz began' his eighth term.
On this date Diaz made his
first overtures to the rebels,
sending a commission to Chihua
hua, offering terms but declaring
the penalty of continued rebel
lion would bo death. Theso
terms were rejected. The most
Important battles were fought on
the northern border, but the In
surrectos showed fighting
strength In twelve states.
The next formal efforts to se
cure peace so far as the general
public knew, occurred on Febru
ary 25, but these, too, failed. On
March 8, Senor Llmiintour, the
Mexican minister of finance,
reached New York from Paris and
spent several days In conference
with the father and brothers of
the rebel leader,
Meanwhile the United States
had massed 20,000 men along the
Mexican border while the fleet
was ordered to rendezvous off
Guantanamo, on the east roast,
and off San Diego and San Pedro
In the Pacific. Orders of this
mobilization went on March 7,
and the Immediate activity of
the Insurrectos showed they were
encouraged by the Importance
which this government attached
to their movements.
The fruits of Llmantour's con
ference with the Maderos In New
York were never definitely de
termined. So far-jrTTiTTiiterrup-tlon
of hostilities was concerned,
howover, they had no Immediate
effect, the rebel occupation of
A nun Prieta and the movement
on Juarez following soon sfter
Limantour returned to Mexico
City.
Late In April the activity of
scattered detachments of tho reb
els near the capital Itself Indicat
ed the Diaz administration was In
a more critical position than had
been supposed.
On April 23 when Francisco
Madero with bis army was en
camped at the gates ot Juarez,
threatening Immediate attack, an
armistice of five duyg was declar
ed to enable Madero to treat with
envoys sent from Mexico City. On
Aprli 28, the armistice was ex
tended five days longer.
At that tlmo the rebels were
practically In control In the
states of Sonera. Chihuahua, Bur.
ango and Zacatecas, The state
Plnaola, Coahuila. San Luis Pot
osl, puebla nnd Guerrero were In
serious disorder, the total area of
the disturbances -'covering nearly
half the republic

Log Angeleg, Ual May 7. Hearten
ed by the optimistic reports of their
attorneys and friends, who are put
ting their case in definite shape, John
and Jamea McNamara, the accused
dynamite 'conspirators, spent a cheer
ful, though lonely 8unduy, today. The
next phase ot their case Is the fixing
of ball Tuesday on the charge of
having dynamited the Llewellyn Iron
vvorkg.
When James McNamara was taken
out of his cell for dinner at noon,
there were no signs of the gloom lhat
has marked hlg demeanor since his
arrival In Los Angeleg April 26. Hla

cheerful. Both looked better than at

main props of the prosecution, ap

today that Jailer Qallagher asked him
what was wrong and UcMunigal re
plied: "I'm wondering whether my wife
has forgotten me. I have not heard
from her since I left Chicago, and I
am suffering for news of her and th
