[ALL MEXICO
IS HOPEFUL
POPULACE AND CABINET bE_
LIEVE DIAZ WILL GRANT
MADERO’S REQUEST.
Reported Illness of Excutive Be.
Ileved to be Forerunner of His
Com ng Resignation of
Office.
Mexico City. May 5.—The resigna
t'on of Porflrio Diaz as president of
Mexico within a very short time Is
regarded here today as a certainty.
Should the announcement of his in.
tention to redign be made tomor
row or even tonight, it would cause
no surprise to members of his cab
inet.
No authoritative confirmation could
Lin r\lit «i i Lint f Linun ntiimoiui liiftlxx
doubt that President Diaz, recognizing
the seriousness of the situation and
responding to the iiopular demand,
wi.'l retire when order is restored.
At the president's office today, no
statement could be had and the mem
tiers of the cabinet, realizing he was
the only man who could give a direct
answer to the demands of Francisco
I. Madero. Jr., the revolutionary lead
er. that Diaz should make known
publicly his intention to retire, were
silent.
At 1 o'clock today Minister of For.
eign Affairs De I-a Barra was per
emptorily summoned to the office of
the president. On arriving he found I
Senor Llmantonr, minister of finance,
who likewise had 'been summoned.
The three officials were in confer
ence for hours.
immediately afterward typewritten
statements were issued by the foreign
office to all the newspapers saying
that the reception to the Chilean min
ister, set for tomorrow and the ban
quet to the same official scheduled
for tomorrow night had been post,
poned. The reason for this change
of plans was given as "the slight ill
ness of the president The president’s
indisposition is known to be slight,
but on orders from his physician he
must remain indoors.”
In the e'ent of his resignation there
will be no question on the part of the
present government officials to Senor
De l*a Barra's incumbency of the
presidential 'post pending new elec
tions. The question of Vice President
Corral’s resignation is not so simple.
It is known that before leaving for
Europe he refused to resign, and since
arriving there he has reiterated this
statement. But this is regarded as
merely incidental. The officials con
sider the resignation of Diaz the only
solution of the trouble. Reluctantly
they admit the growing strength of
the revolution, and realize peace is
improbable should he antagonize them
further. ^
Unconfirmed reports have reached
here of skirmishing in the neighbor
hood of Saltillo.
In the capital today the celebration
of the Clnco De Mayo, the anniversary
in liming in ru9ui» i/y igutiuu n.
goza, was characterized by dullness.
FOr the first time in many years, the
usual military parade was omitted be
cause the nation's soldiers are other
wise occupied. President Diaz took
almost no part In the civil functions,
leaving to the governor. Lands y Rs
» candon, the task of distributing god
coins to survivors of the battle,
if Most of the business offices of mer
cantile houses were closed and Sun
day and like calm prevailed. Crowds
of .peons who wandered idly about the
streets furnished the only excitement.
They gathered In the street in front
of the national palace and. although
laughing and chatting, indulged in a
few cries of “Viva Madero.'*
The .police took no measure to dis
perse the crowd, which filed into the
garden of Zocalo. the big squares in
front of the palace, or poureo aim
lessly about the principal streets of
• he neighborhood.
In Isabella Lacatolica, street crowds
banked themselves before a street
car, stopped, it and tore from it, one
of the little Mexican flags which
adorned all the cars today. Still the
police failed to interfere, and- It was
only when the mob seized a soldier,
lifted him to its shoulders and march
ed ofT with him crying “Viva Madero,'■
that the mounted .police rode Into Its
midst. The crowd was not looking
for trouble, however, and dropped tba
soldier and fled. Nobody was Injured,
Another crowd pushed down Caden
street, and in passing the president's
house let out a few shouts derogatory
to the government and laudatory of
Madero and the revolution. The police
also dispersed this crowd without any
one being hurt.
Railroad traffic continue" demoral
ised. A train arriving today from the
north brought a story of a hold.up by
500 rebels at Lulu, a station 90 miles
south of Saltillo. The rebels searched
the train, but did not molest the pas
sengers, From the express car they
took some thousands of pesos, how
ever, The rel>e's then held the pas
senger train until the arrival of a
freight train. The box cars of the
freight were loaded with rubber and
this was unloaded, and the rebels,
with their horses, got into the box
cars. The crew of the freight was
then told not to board the passenger
train- which was permitted to pro
ceed.
It developed later that the rebels
had their own train crew and even
telegraph operators They said they
were going north on a bridge burning
exi>eu,itaon.
The war departemnt is silent on the
subejct of Torreon, Saltillo and Du.
rango. which are reported to have
been captured by the rebels.
“ Madero ia Jubilant.
El Paso, Tex., May 6.—When shown
the Associated Press dispatches from
Mexico City tonight Indicating the
early resignation of President Diaz
was regarded as probable, Francisco
I. Madero, Jr., and his coterie of
chiefs gathered at the insurrecto
headquarter® across the river, were
jubilant.
One of the rebel peace commission
ers, said the dispatch, forecasted the
answer which they might receive to
morrow to their ultimatum of yester
day.
Judge Carbajal, the federal envoy,
said he had received no advices on
the matter from Mexico City.

Tulsa, Okia., May 5.—<A passenger
train was delayed in Manford. west
of here, today, by millions of cater
pillars clustered on a bridge.
The wheels of the engine, crushing
the larvae- made the track slippery,

charge of murder,t all in connection
with the explosion which wrecked tlie

Ortie E. McManigal, alleged to have
made the confession implicating the
McNamaras- was not arraigned, and is
not expected to make any appearance
.in court until the trial logins. The
day for the McNamara brothers to
plead was fixed for June 1.
Accused with the brothers in the
indictments were William Caplan, al
leged to have eben an assistant of
James B. MctNamara in the explosion,
and four others, one a woman, who
were masked by the names of “John
Doe" “Richard Roe.-’ “John Stiles’’
and “Uane Doe.”
The accusation was followed by a
list of the scores of witnesses exam,
ined by the grand jurors in the weeks
following the Times disaster, and
with the late addition of Ortie Mc
Manigal. the alleged confessed dyna
miter, who appeared before the in
quisitorial body only yesterday.
The district attorney said he would
consent to t'he pleas being made June
1. Ford then read the other eighteen
indictments, one of which charges
John J. McNamara, Ortie E, McMani
gai, "John Doe.” “John Stiles" and
• Richard Roe’’ and "Jane Doe" with

had no wish to arraign the men on
them at present.

McNamara had been taken from his
h/\mA nn i bn n t kaii rr# inAiot.

against 1‘ite men the latter had a
right to be arraigned soon.
Fredericks said the old indictments
would not be used between the date
of arraignment and the time to plead.
Rnppaport contended that there was
at least one bailable charge—that ac
cusing* John J. McNamara of placing
explosives at the Llewellyn Iron
Works—and asked the court to fix
hail.
The district attorney replied that
McNamara also was indicted for
murder, it was useless to bring up
tihe matter. Counsel for the defense

the point at this time, but intimated
he would do so later.

the prosecuting attorrey and counsel
for the prisoners would confer over

for Senator From This District
and for Farmers of the State.
t
The house of representatives yes
terday afternoon passed the Tlamp
Williams amendment to the Jeff Davis
anti trust bill, which In its purpose
exempts ail farming and harvester im
plements from the provisions of anti
trust legislation.
The harvester and implement in
dustry of the country is largely in
the hands of the trusts, and under
the terms of the anti.trusst laws now
in vogue, had withdrawn from thee
state, or else handled their wares only
In a roundabout manner, which in
creased their prices materially be
fore they reached the hands of the
farmer,
'Senator Williams believed that the
farmers of Arkansas could not afford
to do without harvester implement,
nor could they afford to pay extreme
prices, hist because Arkansas passed
a law to drive them from the state,
and appreciating the disadvantage the
farmer* of this state encountered un
der the law', set about to amend it.
The senate passed the bill readily,
but in the house it had many oppon
ent. and it was not without a hard
fight that it was finally put through
the lower legislative body. It ts be
lieved the governor will sign the bill,
as it is wholly in the interest of tbe
farmers oi the state,

“There is no more probability of

DIAZ REPLY
IN BALANCE
F RESIGNATION ANNOUNCEMENT
IS WITHELD JUAREZ WILL BE
ATTACKED.
Vladero Will Wait Until Noon Satur
day and Then the Battle Will
Probably be Opened—Peace
Hangs in Balance.
E) Paso. Tex.. May (I.—If President
Diaz does not announce by tomorrow
ttsni his intention of resigning, an st
ack on Juarez, as well as a conclu
sion of the armistice for the ClUhua
ma district is imminent.
This was the opinion of insurrecto
cailers tonight after a twenty.hour
.va.it for the answer of President Diaz
o (he suggestion made yesterday by
(•’rancisco 1. Mttdero. Jr., through his
:e;ice commissioners to Judge (’arha
|uV the federal envof-t
General Vladero tonight was ap
troaohed by one of the federal go
IbOi U'OMna lit ou/'iirtu In ti'liotlirn- EiA
ivou'd consent to an extension of tbe
trmistice. which expires tomorrow.
He replied that he would answer that
inestion tomorrow morning. He said if
tn extension were asked hy the fed
eral government he would demand
specific reasons before granting it.
Judge Carbajal as well as the other
peace commissioners, remained tn
heir hot el here all day. Dr. Vasques
lomez. head of (he rebel commission,
■said at 10 o’clock tonight he was still
awaiting word from Judge Carbajal as
to yesterday’s proposition, and that
no more peace conferences would be
held till a reply was received.
Judge Carbajal himself thrust a
perplexing note Into the day's events
by declaring he had not officially
transmitted the proposition of the re
bel commissioners. He told the news
paper men he had no authority to re
ceive any propositions concerning th«
Diaz resignation, his Instructions cov
ering only specific points concerning
political reform. '
When told of this Oeneral Madero
expressed the opinion that perhaps
Judge Carbajal was not willing to
acknowledge the submission of the
Diaz question to the government.
Some of the federal go-betweens ad
mitted It was their impression the
government received the Madero pro
position last night, hut could not state
in what form it had been sent.
All the lnstirrecto chiefs believe the
government now is fully cognizant of
their demands at any rate through the
press and that the delay in the re
ceipt of an answer is due to confus
ion in official circles in Mexico city.
Some of them scent friction in the
cabinet of the president. (General Ma.
tlero feels that he has played his
trump card. He showed p'ainly today
the effect of the nervous strain of
the iast few days. When the federal
go-betweens first talked to Madero
just before the first armistice was
arranged they found him ready to ac
cept (lenerul Diaz as president, pro
vided certnin reforms were instituted.
Since then he had been surrounded
•fj u:v inMUU HI t IliCIO Vi I I IT? IV»UIU
tion. and finally has been persuaded
Shat only through an announcement
of the intended resignation of Diaz
could peace be restored.
The change in biB views is said to
have been due to the persuasion of
Dr. Vasques Gomez. *
Dr Gomez, before coming here, was
one of those who thought peace would
be effected with President Diaz’ in.
tention to resign would suffice. When
he arrived here, however, and learned
the determined position of revolution
ary leaders in various parts of Mex
ico, he is said to have devoted him
self at once to the proposition which
finally was submitted to the govern
ment envoy yesterday.
A brief discussion of the battle or
Puebla took place in the Madero camp
today. General Madero presented Gen.
eral Pascual Orozco, his commander
in-chief with a silk Mexican flag. A
few speeches were made by rebel
leaders and a hand played national
airs
