Associated Press Special.
El Paso Texas. M-ay 8.—It becaii'.-
cnown today that almost tlie entire
irniy of General Madero was march-
Tig on Juarez last night without the (
knowledge or consent of their lead- j
r. But for tin- arrival of the an- '
louncement that President Diaz had |

oon as his country was again 011 i
leacefui basin a. night attack would j
11 all probability have been m<ade
hat would have resulted disastrous-
y for the Mexican city and the feder-
1 troops garrisoned there.
General Madero had ordered his
i' ii to move on Mexico city in good
lith and believed that they were 1
beying that command but his lesser »
hiefs already had Juarez in a dan- !
erous net when this opportune ne.vs
rom Mexico City came. The thick
ight and rain made the insurgent
tratagem almost noiseless and it
>as undetected even by the federals.
It is expected that arrangements
or a new armistice to cover the en-
."•re country will be. made today 10'-

which he declares that he will resigr

Mental. t
Only in a general way doej the h
manifesto refer to the revolution. A
'iie government's position is that
ieneral Diaz could not have made a j
ublic statement at an earlier mom- |

tionists failed to observe the amen-
;ies ol' the peace negotiations b>
laking them public.
Prefacingflthe declaration of his
willingness to retire the president
iscussed the political conditions ot

een made by the government to fg-
rbiish peace. He calls attention t > ^

Events leading up to the ';egin- ■
ling of the negotiations frir ..-.icoi
*vere taken up and it was »n*i> • e l
.hat it was the disposition to fa *
into consideration those propositions
which the revolutionists had to
make. I
At no place in the manifesto is
there made mention of a new elec-
tion. According to the constitution
resignation is equivalent to deai.i '
so far as it affects the succession.
The vice president would assume the f
executive chair and he in turn would 1
be followed by the minister of for- *
eign affairs. In this case the vice 1
president is seriously sick and is ».• '

his health. Should Vice President i
Corral not be back in the country at
the time the president leaves his p<>-« (
the new incumbent would be Minis- i

rebels themselves for provisional i
president. What course affairs would
take once the vice president or the
minister was in power remains to be 4
seen.
When General Madero heard of <
the dispatch from Mexico City con- <
cerning President Diaz's resignation. <
he immediately gave orders to have i
troops stop marching. Couriers were
sent ahead to halt the advance
guard.
"I am naturally very glad to hear
that President Diaz has made the
announcement." said General Made-
ro to an Associated Press reporter.
