General Madera and His Insurgent Forces RapM
ly Preparing to Pursue Revolution Vigorous
ly ? Mexico City Astounded by Failure.
El Paao, May 6. ? All the revolu
tionary leaders, with the exception of
Dr. Gomez, were in conference to
night with Benor Braniff one of. the
go-betweens In the peace negotia
tions. Senor Braniff made a lrfst ap
peal to them to prevent a resump
tion of hostilities.
The conference adjourned at lOrSO
o'clock. It was announced that it
bad been without result.
..JBenor Braniff Is said to hare told
the rerolutUmlata that tUt govern
ment was disposed to ft*nt every
thing demanded provided they would
make it possible for Pr^ve11* D,a?
to retire decorously and without the
humiliation of a public ' Statement.
Some of the rebel leaders declared
In reply that the conditions of the
country waa such that nothing tout a
public statement from Digs would
appease the people.
Judge Carbajal in an int#rvlqw to
night declared he waa still optimis
tic about peace.
Washington, D. C., May 6. ? Con
tinued fighting in Mexico between the
Digs and Madero forces is not the
only thing to disturb ' the situation.
It la strongly suspected by thoae who
realise the tottering weakness of the
Mexican government that the hoetll
lty to Americans which la giving so
jmuch concern to our government la
being stimulated, or certainly not dis
couraged, by the Diaz regime in a
policy of desperation. If a govern
ment must fall, it often prefers to do
so as the direct result of conflict with
another. -nation father than by the
prowess of Internal opponents.
| \ No doubt \here are many Mexican
officials who would choeee armed In
tervention and even annexation by
the. United States with eagerness if
the alternative should be the, tri
umph of the revolutionists. It is
this fact of human nature ? that fra
Arnal foes are the bitterest when
oW they do fight ? which the Wash
ington diplomats have to bear con
stantly la mind.
Mr. Taft is determined thst he
will not be pulled into war or inter
vention. bj^ any- mere Mexican trick
or the desires of any American In
! terests, which would like to see us
teke on some more territory to be
exploited at this time. Irritating
conduct is therefore Ignored in the
case of Mexico when under average
international conditions serious re
sentment might be exhibited. There
is no danger that the world will en
tertain any thought that^ Uncle Sam
is frightened by the excited gestures
of bombastic conversation of his
flustered and somewhat bifurcated lit
tie neighbor.
