General Madero's order withdrawing his forces from the border was re ceived with joy. This action removes a source of great anxiety. News Stops Intended Juarez Attack. the Residents of Ciudad Juarez. awoke today to find that they had been spared, a real battle which might have resulted in one of the deadliest con flicts of the Mexican revolution, Creep ing alone in the thick of the night the insurrecto army, supposedly on its way south, because it feared American intervention if it attacked Juarez, was about to deliver a telling blow at the federal stronghold last night when an Associated Press dispatch from Mexico City statinp that President Diaz had announced his intention to resign was carried to the front. This dispatch changed the situation from one o? gravity to one of festive hilarity. To day members of the Madero family are sending 'telegrams to President Diaz telling him what a fine man they think he is and how he has saved his country. Negotiations have been begun for an other armistice with. General Navarro as well as a resumption of the peace conference which adjourned on Satur day. The unanimous opinion of repre sentatives of the warring factions is that complete tranquility for Mexico is now in sight. Arrangement for the extension of the armistice to cover the entire -country are expected to be made today. Peace negotiations will be hastened and no one anticipates any difficulty as the government conces sions on points other than the Diaz question which has been well known and acceptable for some time. Attack Was 8ecretly Planned. Facts of the secretly planned attack on Juarez became known today. Fran cisco I. Madero, Jr., the leader of the revolution, had announced his inten tion of marching-his forces southward and abandoning the attack on Juarez for fear of International complications. His military leaders had accepted the decision with resignation. They gath ered secretly, however, and agreed upon a plan of attack notwithstanding their chief's orders. It was arranged that General Madero would be persuaded to leave camp first and proceed to Bauche, eleven miles away. With their chief out of reach they were to have pursued the attack with all the force which had been pent in them since the various armistices began. Colonel Garabaldi and his de tachment had begun to move slowly in the early evening in one direction while Colonels Villa and Blanco had set out on an entirely different route, supposedly scattering for various ports of Chihuahua and Sonora. The insurrectos under cover of dark ness instead crept back toward the federal outposts and lay in a position to open fire simultaneously at night. Not a light was burning movements of the advance guard were slow and noiseless. It was an unusually thick night and & drizzle of rain fell con tinuously. The advance guard of one of the rebel detachments which moved south ward fired a farewell salute into the federal trenches and the federals re turned the compliment. The federals under General Navarro were on the lookout but did not expect an attack. The news that President Diaz had submitted to the rebel de mands by announcing his intention to resign came two hours before the time for an attack 6nd the insurrectos turn ed back to their camping grounds where today they are celebrating what they believe to be the triumph of the revolution. Today the same cottonwood grove through which insurrecto scouts crept last night in their secret advance on Juarez will be the Bcene of a resump tion of peace negotiations between the rebels and the federal government broken ofT after a single days's con ference because the latter had not an swered the principal demand of the revolutionists. Rebels Answer Diaz Critlcisim. Insurrecto leaders read today the dispatches from Mexico City in con nection with President Diaz's mani festo criticising them for including the Diaz resignation in their demand after a secret understanding had been reached that it would not be an Issue in the negotiations. They admitted that such an under standing had existed but when the rebels from all parts of the republic gathered here to discuss peace they found it Impracticable to Ignore the question entirely. They said they feared that any negotiations conclud ed by them without giving the public sortie information on the Diaz question hardly would satiate the fight-thirtsy rebels in other parts of Mexico. With tbe same argument the Insurrecto 'chiefs answered the criticism that a breach of official courtesy had been committed by making public the de mand on the government for some an nouncement from President Diaz. Their reply today is that while they were not desirous of making the Diaz question a provision of the peace agreement the publication of their re quest to Diaz they deemed an abso lute necessity to procuring the answer he now has given. in line with the report that the manifesto of Diaz would not. be officially communicated to the rebels 1b the fact that the in surrecto chiefs do not expect it They will keep their early promise not to make the Diaz matter a part of the written peace pact. They are pro band tug today m«ralv on the announce- QTTUM\^'1jfjililife,' ''TUESDAY, MAY 9. Wi. Tt ment through the press which they deem a sufficient concession to their demand. New Tangle of Procedure, The insurrectos, however, are face to face with a tangle of procedure which may delay negotiations. Though Judge Carbajal, in his letter to Dr. Vasquez Gomez, head of the rebel commission, on Saturday declared the peace negotiations "suspended" be cause he had no instructions to treat concerning the Diaz question, from the insurrecto viewpoint it meant a ter mination of peace negotiations and tliey dissolved their peace commision of three with a vote of thanks. Whether the other commissicn will be reappointed and reinstructed is a question which rebel leaders were talking about at the Madero headquar ters early today. It is believed, how ever, the trio will be called into a con vention again and that the first con ference this afternoon at "peace grove" will again find Judge Carbajal, representing the federal governdent, Dr. Vasquez Gomez, Francisco Ma dero, Sr., id Senor Pino Saurez, of the insurrecto government, exchang ing typewritten sheets of yellow paper isz-irsi big peace tent. Praises Stand of United States. "I am sure I would have prevented a fight last nigtit," said General Ma dero today to an Associated Press rep resentative. "Gen. Orozco and the other chiets were begging me with tears in their eyes to change my resolution not to at tack Juarez and I would have con vinced them of the danger of complica tions. They would, have obeyed me, 1 know, but your news from, Mexico City was the telling argument." Speaking of the. attitude of the Uni ted States, Gen. Madero continued: "I am sure that, the relations be tween the United States and Mexico are now going to be more friendly than ever before. It was a tense moment through which we passed and President Taft and his cabinet showed inestimable wisdom in their policy." The rebel political chiefs gathered at the Madero headquarters to discuss the procedure for a resumption of peace negotiations and the arrange ment of an armistice. Senors Braniff and Obregon, the go-betweens, were on hand to smooth over any hitches and at noon today prospects were bright for a formal peace conference between Judge Carbajal and the rebel commis sioners. It was said that the same trio who had represented the insur rectos before would act again. Madero to Make Race Again. While the insurrecto chief were pleased with the announcement from Mexico City that President Diaz in tended to i-esign they did not bubble over with enthusiasm. Gen. Madero will not accept any of fice now, though It is quite likely he will be a candidate for the presidency in the general election which it is sup posed will follow the Diaz resignation as soon as the peace agreement is signed. He will resign as provisional president making way for Senor De -La Barra to succeed President Diaz as acting chief executive. The rebels will insist on placing their own men in power, not only in. the various states and in the cabinet but in the chamber of deputies. 8om« Fighting Today at Jaunez. ,El Paso, Tex., May 1—A few shots w$re exchanged by the federal and insurrecto outposts again today but orders were issued from headquarters to cease firing as an armitice was be ing arranged. People crowded the roofs and house tops of EI Paso and hundreds of people ran to the river side to watch the fighting. About 100 rebels moved forward in readiness for the attack. The impres sion was that Gen. Madero's orders had been disregarded and an engage ment was imminent. Tbe firing was renewed at 11 o'clock. The federals' were 'said to have begun the shooting. Gen. Madero left head quarters for the front to determine whether his orders had been disobey ed. It was believed his officers were taking advantage Of the interim for the arrangement of an armistice to Antonio. Garfcla,'a'Mexican, watch ing the fighting' near the United States immigration station was struck in the head by a bullet The same bullet hit a' Mexican woman on the arm. A school in the northwest part of El Paso was dismissed for the day but had not been hit by bullets. Several bullets struck the immigration sta tion. The insurrecto advance on Juarez was apparently" being resumed at 13 o'clock although "earlier it had appear ed that the rebels were retiring. Louis Hernandez was shot in the leg while standing on the American bank of the river. Antonio Garcia who was shot In the hea,d is dead. Caucus Tonight Over Frye's Seat A caucus of republican senators will be held after the adjournment of the senate today for the nomination of a president protem of the senate to succeed Senator Frye, who resigned on acount of ill health. The place is gen erally conceded to Senator Galllnger of New Hampshire, but N At 12:30 o'clock it looked as if the firing was about to cease. Madero had ridden to the front. He had just said that he was agreeable to an armis tice. DEMOCRATS TO PUT WOOL ON FREE LIST (Continued From Page 1.) probably will be made to the house. It will recommend that statehood be granted to both territories with the understanding that Arizona vote again on the recall provision and that the voters of New Mexico be given an early opportunity to change the con stitution so that It may be made more easily amendable. The committee on civil service re sumed its hearings on the Lloyd reso lution grafting to government em ployes the right to affiliate with trade unions and the oommlttee on expendi tures in the war department began in vestigation of the condition of the army. This inquiry will be prolonged probably into the regular session. hiB nomina tion will be opposed by some of the progressive senators who took excep tion to Mr. Oalllnger's course in the assignment of committee places in the recent reorganisation of the senate. Some of the members of the group will urge the naming of Senator Clapp for the place, and they threaten to COURT AT KEOSAUQUA BUSINESS TIME IN VAN BUREN CO—FLETCHER BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT.
