THE FINAL PEACE EFFORTS
ARE NOW BEING NEGOTIATED
' )
Conferences Were Held Last Night
Without Appreciable Result, but Hope
Has Not Been Abandoned
Following the events of yesterday noon and evening when all
1
legotiations between the peace envoys of the Mexican government
and Madero were abruptly broken off, a conference of all the revolu-
tionary leaders, including the provisional governors of the v’arious
states at Madefo’s camp, with the exception of Dr. Vasquez Gomez,
was in-session last night with Senor Branjff, one of the go-betweens
m the peace negotiations. Seno'r Braniff, it is known, made a last
appeal to the leaders to prevent a resumption of hostilities. It is in-
ferred he explained to them confidentially the contents of a long
message which he had received from Minister Limantour, the con-
tents of which was not made public.
The conference adjourned at 10:30 o’clock last night, but it
was announced that it had been without result. Senor Braniff is
said to have told the revolutionists that the government was dis-
posed to grant everything den^nded provided they would make it
possible for President Diaz to retire decorously and without the hu-
miliation of a public statement. Some of the rebel leaders declared
in reply that the condition of the country was such that nothing but
a public statement from President Diaz would appease the people.
Judge Carbajal in an interview last night declared he still was
optimistic about peace. He admitted that the rebel demands had
been transmitted by him to the government, but that he had received
no instructions in his credentials to discuss the question of the Diaz
resignation. He gave the impression that while he had not asked
or instructions on the subject, merely transmitting the rebel de-
mands, he had refused to continue negotiations because the govern-
ment of its own initiative had not extended his instruction to cover
that point.
MADERO’S ARMY MAY DEPART
At a late hour this morning a report emanated from the insur-
J recto camp that it was not at all improbable a feint attack would be
made on Juarez this morning, but that the real intention was to en-
train practically the whole army at Bauche tonight or tomorrow and
proceed rapidly via Pearson and Madera to Chihuahua, and there
gather additional forces and start a grand march southward toward
Mexico City with Madero and his civil officers accompanying. The
march to Mexico City is to take from"two to three months, and is ex-
pected to number 100,000 men when it gets there. Large commands
are to be left near Juarez, Casas Grandes, Guerrero, Chihuphua^ Tor-
leon and other cities.
RABAGO COMING WITH FEDERAL TROOPS
It was generally believed, at Madero’s camp last night that Gen-
eral Rabago, with from 1000 to 1200 federals, is now marching to
Juarez Irom Chihuahua and will reach Juarez within the next nine
days. His arrival would make Juarez practically untenable for Ma-
dero’s present army, now confronting the city.
YESTERDAY’S DEVELOPMENTS
camp for orders to make a general as-
sault, which is expected today.
Knvoys May I<eave.
Judge Carbajal. It was said last
night, intends to return soon to Mex-
ico City. Dr. Gomez, confidential
agent of the revolutionists In the
United States, declared last night It
was not unlikely that he would re-
turn to his post at Washington. The
prospect for a peaceful agreement has
suddenly faded from view and though
some of the unofficial go-betweens
have not relaxed their efforts, the rev-
olutionists believe their only alterna-
tive now is to fight.
MUCH ANXIETY FT *T
IN INSURRECTO CAMP.
Probably the most tense day of the
insurrection was spent yesterday by
the 2700 lnsurrectos encamped In the
vicinity of Juarez. Tne men were ail
extremely anxious as to the outcomo
of the peace conference and are sa>d
to have Impatiently awaited the
breaking off of peace negotiations,
when they heard the result of the con-
ference they were highly elated.
During the afternoon all who had
been allowed to come to El Paso were
recalled and all officers who have
been sleeping on this sn:e of the river
were ordered to take cuarge of their
respective commands. The m,en clean-
ed their rifles and were plentifully
supplied with ammunition during the
evening.
American soldiers and customs of-
ficers kept a strict watch on all who
ent.-'icd the Insurrecto camp and ev-
eryone who left the United States waa
cautioned that they could not return
unless they came back-through a reg-
ular port of entry. Three men who
went across in * spite of this warning
were not allowed to return to El Paso
despite the fact that the lnsurrectos
did not want them to remain in the
of the spreading of the Insurrection
with Matamoras probably the next
point of attack.
At Matamoras yesterday Madero
■ was cheered by a crowd of men en-
| thused In their celebration of May 6.
The police and volunteer troops made
no effort to suppress the demonstra-
tion.

FARCE IS OVER
Legislature Adjourns With-
out Electing Senator
RIVALS FIRM TO THE CLOSE
Respective Strength to the
Last Moment
Associated Press Dispatch.
Denver, Col., May 6.—At 10:15 p. m.
the joint assembly of the Colorado
legislature, balloting to elect a suc-
cessor to the late United States Sen-
ator Ohs*. J. Hug.Rs Jr, wax for-
mally dissolved, lea .ng triMi kin the
deadlock which has existed since
January J2. Colorado with practical-
ly a Democratic administration will be
represented In the United States by a
solitary Republican senator, Simon
Guggenheim.
A personal fight waged against
Mayor Robert w. Speer, of Denver,
the leading candidate Is the cause of
the deadlock.
The closing hours of the joint as-
dld not want mem to remain in me gPmbly were niarl{pd bv the trlp|e re.
camp. The Immigration officers stat- {usal of state Senator Thomas J. Me-
ed that they did not appear to be de-
sirable citizens and they would not
be allowed to again enter this coun-
try except through a regular port of
entry- and with the consent of the
authorities.
A young man accompanied by u
girl, went across the International
boundary line on horseback but were
hot allowed to come back. They
were at a late hour yesterday even-
ing seen on the streets here by offi-
cers and It Is believed that they came
back by the way of Pelea, New Mex-
ico. _ Men having business In the In-
surrecto camft and who could show
a pass signed by a recognized leader
were allowed to go and come by the
Immigration authorities.
American soldiers guard the
bridges spanning the Rio Grande near
the camp and allow no one to pass
without written permission from the
corporations owning the structures.
Several boats which have In the past
few day« been taken to the river by
private individuals have not been al-
lowed to be placed In the water.
Peace negotiations, the armistice
, covering the Chihuahua district and
all unofficial communication between
the Mexican government and tha
revolutionists were broken off yester-
ay and last night the insurrecto ar-
my. under Francisco Madero, Jr., was
repared to pursue the revolution as
vigorously as ever. Juarez will be the
first point of attack, but the rebels
ppobably will not move for another
II hours.
Tlio Ambition of Diaz.
■J “The Inexplicable ambition of Prea-
I ident Diaz,” who refused to accede to
: the rebel demand that he make pub-
lic announcement of his intention to
resign was the expression by which
General Madero himself, last night,
epitomized the reasons for the break.
Judge Carbajal having notified Dr.
_! Vasquez Gomez, head of the rebel
‘ >peace commission yesterday afternoon
that It was Impassible for him to con-
tinue the peace negotiations under the
basis suggested by the rebels, and the
rebel chief” having refused to extend
the armistice, the following statement
was issued by General Madero, defin-
ing his position:
"As it is well known, I invited ttu;
people of Mexico to take up arms
against General Diaz, when all legal
means to bring about the will of the
people had been exhausted. The war
waa inevitable and indispensable and
already we have begun to see fruits,
^i as much as the principles which the
revolution proclaimed have been ac-
cepted by General Diaz and the mem-
bers of his cabinet
•‘But thf* Is not, enough, for while
General Diaz is in power all laws will
be a fiction and all his promises the
tricks of war. With that idea and in
order to obtain peace in Mexico, I
asked him to make public the inten-
tion whioh hq had manifested pri-
vately of resigning from the govern-
ment Jn order that he might not
feel humiliated or have any pretext
o deny such a request, I proposed
,t I also should resign as provisional
(atdent, even manifesting to him
it I would admit as president for
he Interim a member of his cabinet
rtio occupies a post of much confi-
etice and who is correspondingly
hie to fill it.
"It Is not possible for me to do more
tfpr my country and if the war con-
ues It will be due solely to the In-
pllcable ambition of General Diaz,
e. therefore, will be alone responsi-
le before the civilized world and In
2^ liistory for all the misery which the
A? Evar may cause.”
Mb. I Rebel Leaders Disappointed.
Though determined to pursue their
•mands to the last ditch the rebel
leaders last night plainly showed their
mistlce terminates today at 12 o'clock
and since we have received no re-
ply to the proposition submitted on
the afternoon of May 4th at the peace
conference, 1 beg of you to tnlorm me
concerning the instruction which your
government may have given you on
that point as the time at our disposal
is very limited for negotiations in the
event they are to continue. 1 com-
municate the above to you by order
of the president of the provisional
government of Mexico.”
Judge Carbajal had received several
messages from the Mexican govern-
ment during the day, but not until af-
ter the armistice had been terminated
did he send his answer, which follows:
Reply from Carbajal.
"With reference to your note of to-
day which you have directed to me, I
beg to inform you as well aa Senor
Francisco I. Madero, leader of the
revolution, and the other gentlemen
commissioned for it, that it Is Impos-
sible as I expressed to you In per-
son, for me to continue the negotia-
tions on the basis which you were dis-
posed to place before me In the con-
ference held on the. afternoon of May
4 th, for reasons of patriotism and
high political convenience which sus-
tain the attitude assumed by me In
that particular.”
Immediately upon Its receipt at the
Madero headquarters, Dr. Gomez sent
the following note to Judge Carbajal:
Rejoinder from Gomez.
“Referring to your note of today
In which you make known that it is
not possible for you to continue the
negotiations on the basis which we
proposed to you on the afternoon of
May 4th, I am pleased to call your at-
tention to the fact that In the last
conference It was agreed that you
JUAREZ IS EXCITED
AND ALMOST DESERTED.
Shortly before noon yesterday the
Juarez military authorities began a
hurried movement of troop*, large
commands of Infantry were dispatch-
ed to the different breastworks erect-
ed on the main streets of that city.
A company of infantry was sent to
reinforce the trenches west of Jua-
rez. Small detachments of federal cav-
alry rode out In the southeastern part
of the town, and officers were on the
high buildings with field grasses ready
to notify at a moment's notice If Ma-
dtro and his Insurrecto army made
a move. All the soldiers carried
plenty of ammunition In their belts
and extra men were sent to guard the
machine guns located In different
parts of that town.
it looked for a while as if the fed-
orals ^expected an attack from Ma-
dero’s lnsurrectos now west of that
city.
From early yesterday' morning on-
lil late last night the street cars from'! gatlon engineer*.
Juarez were crowded with women and
children coming to this side of the
river. Most of them had all they
could carry. Including clothing and
small articles of household goods.
Others were carrying dogs, chick-
ens and cats. About the only thing
the street car conductors would not
allow them to place aboard the cars
were goats and pigs.
By 12 o’clock last night Juarez was
completely deserted, only for the sol-
diers and a few volunteers who had
enlisted to protect the city In case of
an attack by the lnsurrectos. Had
Madero fired Into Juarez last night
there would have been very few eas
ualltles among the non-eombatants
as most everyone that could leave
came to this side last night.
AMERICAN SOLDIERS TAKE
ARMS AND AMMUNITION.
The American soldiers made a large
seizure of arms and ammunition last
night about 6 o’clock in a vacant
house in the vicinity of the smelter.
Thirty-five rifles of the most Im-
proved type together with about 25,-
000 rounds of ammunition were
Cue. Mayor Speer’s campaign man-
ager, to accept the nomination for
the senatorship at the hands of mem-
bers of the a#tl-Speer faction.
With Lieutenant Governor Fitz-
gerald doing all in his power to with-
hold the announcement of the final
vote in the hope that warring Demo-
crats might find the way to an elec-
tion. a state senator, Irby. Mayor
Speer's private secretary, rushed from
tho chamber for a conference with
his chief and the report thrilled
through the assembly that he bad
gone to bring word of Speer’s with-
drawal and pave the way to MeCue's
election. His return shattered the
hopes of those who still thought an
election might be brought about. It
was thought Speer would stick to the
bitter end, but a moment later the
lieutenant governor dropped his gavel
with the words, "I am ringing down
the curtain on the greatest farce-
cpmedy In the political history of
Colorado.”
It had been agreed that seven bal-
lots should be east tonight, at the
end of which, If no election results,
the joint assembly should he dis-
solved.
The first ballot showed the Speer
strength to be 31, the anti-Speer
strength 33, and the Republican
strength 34. with two Democratic
members not voting. On the second
ballot with the two absentees In their
seats, the Speer strength rose to 33.

Although In the three succeeding

Associated Press Dispatch.
Mexico City, May B— Mexican official* appear to believe tonight, in spite
of the disquieting news from the north, that a peace agreement will yet be
reached.
In the department of foreign relations It was said Information had
been received that the chiefs of the revolution were in consultation, and It
was reported that a meeting had been called for tomorrow. A reply had
been received from Judge Carbajal to a message sent last night by Minister
Limantour, the Information being given that the. message would be con-
sidered.
A high official of the government said negotiations were not broken
off and there was yet a chance that the conferees would get together.
Mexican People Are Astounded
Believing general Diaz had determined to accede to the demand of Ma-
dero, thousands of residents of the capital were astounded this afternoon
to learn that the last moment of the armistice had passed without an
agreement having been reached.
In the declaration of Madero that he would resume hostilities they read
the answer of tho president that he was not yet ready to resign his high po-
sition. Surprise felt by the public was shared by officials. Almost all the
residents had entertained the hope that peace would be declared.
Faces Most Desperate Situation.
Meanwhile the soldier-president grimly faces the most desperate situ-
ation which has menaced Mexico since he assumed control more than thirty
years ago.
From the president's home it was said no word copies that he is yet
w illing to announce his Intention of resigning. Members of his cabinet re-
fuse to discuss the situation.
Proposed as he has been for tho provisional presidency, de Is Barra de-
clared his position Is too delicate for him to talk for publication more than
to say that the government Is waiting for a reply to the note sent to Judge
Carbajal,
General Manuel Gonzales Cask), minister of war, is preparing for a re-
sumption of hostilities on the assumption that Madero will ,not long delay
action.
Many American* Leaving City.
For weeks Americans have been leaving the city for the United State*
and today's news has resulted In a suden augmentation In the exodus. To-
night's train for Vera Cruz carried numerous Americans, eljlefly women and
children, and many are unable to obtain accommodations on the boats,
whose reservations are hooked for three weeks In advance.
Fear that future fighting will he followed by Intervention and that this
will result In scenes of tragic disorder is expected on every band

IHE KILLING OF AMERICANS
WOULD NOT JUSTIFY ACTION
Associated Press Dispatch.
Washington, May 6. The suspen-
sion of the armistice and even the
active resumption of hostilities by the
insurgents will cause no change in
the determination of the United States
to refrain from intervening In Mex-
ico.
The president is firm in his pur-
pose to live up to the obligations off
patiy has contracted with the power ! date of the inauguration of the pres
company for something over 700
president, and undoubtedly reflects
, 'he president’s policy. He insists on
I this policy. Therefore, General
Wood, chief of staff, has again cau-
tioned tho army officers to use civil-
ian messengers in ease they find It
necessary to communicate with the
federals or lnsurrectos on Mexican
