News was very disheartening to the administration and it is thought the patrol along the northern and northweatern border may have to be replaced. The war department is informed today that pursuant to its orders, the federals and insurrectos who cross ed. the border at Douglas have been released and their arms retained b> •\mericau officers. The federals were sent back across the line and the in surrectos were simply released and may go where they please. The at titude of the administration vrill be one of absolute neutrality. The army is In a condition of complete prep aration for anything that may hap pen. Intervention is not at this time receiving the consideration of the president, however, the profes sional fighting men of the service may dwell upon it, and will not be con sidered unless the situation becomes such that action on the part of the United Statee Itecomes unavoidable. Major General Wood, chief of staff, today made an official denial of the report that he told the house committee on military affairs that he regarded intervention rs bound to come. Diaz Has Not Resigned. Mexico City, May 6.—“Neither my self nor any other member of the cabinet has received the resigna tion of President Diaz. The resigna tion has not been drawn up, lei alone signed. You can deny absolute ly all reports as to the fact that the resignation was presented to the cabinet." With the above statement the min. ister of foreign relations de La Barra this afternoon confirmed an earlier despatch, to the same effect. It can be said on reliable authori ty that President Diaz will carry the war to a bloody end. The cabinet was in session until 3:40 this after noon and a last effort was made to force Diaz to resign. The afternoon newspapers here have extras announcing that Madero has broken the armistice and has or dered an advance on Juarez and Chihuahua. Story From Front. El Paso, Tex., May 6.—After two weeks’ rest the Federal and insurrecto -armies, are again facing each other as enemies. The armistice expired at noon today. At one o'clock Madero’s troops begon to move down towards Juarez. The Federals made prepara tions to receive them and Colonel M. Tamborel, commanding, declared that he would hold the town. “The reb els are afraid to fight,” he stated. The two armies are now in exactly the same positions they occupied when Madero declared the armistice. If there was any doubt about nego tiations being off following Maedor’s refusal to extend the armistice, this was dispelled at 5 o’clock when a mes sage from Federal Commissioner Car bajal was delivered to Madero's camp addressed to Dr. Gomez, chairman of the insurrecto commissioners, declar ing that he could not further continue l>eace negotiations on the basis propos ed by Dr. Gomez on Thursday, when Gomez made a demand that Diaz set a date for his resignation. Madero, his family and all lieuten ants at once w-ent into a council of war and declared that the fighting would go on. Madero said he would not cease again until the Federal gov ernment showed that it meant to dis cuss all demands fully and in good faith. Th^re are no indications tonight of an attack on Juarez at an early hour. After the day Judge Carbajal re ceived a lengthy code message from .Tose Yves Limantour. Carabajal an nounced that he had not yet had a full reply from the president Tegardlng the request for his retirement and sug gested a further armistice.

Los .\ngeles, Cal., May 6.—When Ortie E. McManigal appeared as a volunteer witness before the gi'and jury Thursday afternoon he gave sworn testimony that he had been in formed by J. B. McNamara of the alleged connection of two buildings here. McManigal told the grand jury that he was informed by J. B. Mc Namara that these two men furnish ed the money to purchase the explo sive and that they paid the old ex penses of Schmidt, Caplan and J. B. McNamara. This latter disclosure has not hith erto been made public. One of the two men mentioned by McManigal’s testimony is now in Sau Francisco. The other, who is also a resident of San Francisco, is said to be visiting in the east. His exact whereabouts according to the prosecuting officers, are unknown to the Burns detective agency. It is claimed that the man now visiting in the east left San Francisco several w'eeks ago and in formed only a few of his intimate friends as to where he would be dur ing the next few weeks. When McManigal made his first confession in, Chicago he named these same two men and it was believed for a time that they would be arrest ed. District Attorney Fredericks, when asked to issue warrants against the two men, made an investigation of the evidence and found that it was only a matter of hearsay and that there was not sufficient grounds upon which to base a warrant. McManigal, in subsequent statements to the dis trict attorney, admitted that he had no direct or incriminating evidence against the two men, but claimed that he was only repeating what had been told to him by J. B. McNamara. Following the arraignment of the two McNamara brothers Friday the prisoners spent a quiet day in the county Jail today. Attorney Bob Har- riman visited J. J. McNamara this morning and informed .the prisoner that Attorney Leo M. Rappaport was now enroute to the east to consult with Clareuce Darrow. In the after noon Police Photogi-apher Florentine visited the county jail and McMani gal was photographed. An attempt was made to take the 'picture of J. B. McNamara but when the accused man made objection. Sheriff Hammel would not permit the phottographer to see McNamara. The entire case is now in abeyance in outward appearance. No more ar rests will be made until Caplan and Schmidt, who are still fugitives from justice, are apprehended. Should either of these men be taken into custody, it is likely that at least two other suspected men will be charged In connection with the alleged dyna miting of The Times building. Change Date of Inaugumtion Washington, May 6.—Representa tive Henry, chairman of the house rules committee, announced tonight that his resolution providing for a constitutional amendment, changing the date of the presidential inaugura tion from March 4 to the last Thurs day in April, now has the required two-thirds majority of both the house and senate, and would be passed at this session. He expects it will be speedily ratified by the required three- fouxtbs of the state legislatures. Was there ever a girl or boy that was not in love with a pretty pony?

Villa at once rode out with his force and a fight was imminent, but the matter was straightened out and apologies extended. Muller’s body was recovered from the river a few hours later. Shortly after Muller was drowned an American serving in Garibaldi’s com mand, supposed to have become en raged because he was 'Uspected of being one of those who had taken arms from the camp, snatched the Mexican flag which hung from his tent and set fire to It. He then bolted for the river, pursued by the insurrectos and began to swim to the American side. Ameri can troopers paused in their patroT across the river and threw a rope to the man after he passed the middle of the stream.
