The armistice will be the first gen' oral cessation of hostilities sine the revolution began last November and was decided upon by Provisional Presi dent Madero this afternoon Immediate ly after the receipt of an Associated 1'rees dispatch from Mexico City stat ins; that 'resident IMas had offered to resign before the end of tha present month. News of vigorous warfare In Central and Southern Mexico, which Madero considers unnecessary la view of tha progress made toward a peaceable set tlement of tha revolt, also induced tba rebel chief to art quickly and prevent further loss of Ufa or su Ire ring. Both Madero and Judas Carbajal ex pressed the belief tonight that the five- day armistice would be superseded by the signing of a definite peace agree ment calculated to restore In Mexico an era of complete tranquillity within a month. It is expected that Minister of For- elan Relations Senor te la Barra. by constitutional authority, will aaauma the provisional Presidency of the re public upon tha resignation of Presi dent Dlax. The armistice terms include tha neu tralization of railway and telegraph lines and tha cessation of hoatlle troop movements.

He conferred today with bis Cabi net about the gubernatorial appoint ments of the 1 atatea to ba controlled by the revolutionists, and It may ba several days before all tha Governors are selected, aa the rebel chiefs wish In s-et tn touch with publlo opinion In distant states. Soma of tha leaders have raised technicality which tonight la somewhat of a Hilemma to thoee wbo are trying to brine; about peace. It Is that no peace agreement can render binding the appointment of provisional Gov ernors, aa such officials ara elected by the rotate Legislatures and that these bodies m'rh: not feel dlspoeed to fol low the dictates of tha compact. Ma dero. however, believea that tha State 1.c -sutures ire by this time of ationg Madertsta tendencies.

AMERICANS ARE DRIVEN OCT Mexk-ana at Ensenada Salt! to nave Shot Two Ftorelrnera. SAN' IMEOO. May 17. Refugees ar riving by steamer from Ensensda to day bring reports of chaotic conditions In the Lower California capital and of me evecuciOD yesieruax vi aa Ameri can and a man supposed to be Norwegian. None of tbe refugeee wit nessed the execution and their Informa tion was drawn from reports current In Ennada tbe dsy they left. Work oa tha big pier being built at Fnsenada was stopped yesterday. It la stated, by a mob of Mexican soldiers, who for a tlma threatened to attack tha American workmen. Charles Moore, one of tbe refugees, said today that the w-a a. the IVlVftniAP for ail Americas workmen there in pleved to return to the United States. !htoore also declared that an Ameri can and a Norwegian were compelled yeeterday morning to dig their own graves tn tha burial ground near F.a eeaada and were afterward shot by a Sjua4 of Mexican soldiers. A.l the books and records of a British no nolso or crashing was bear duntll the avalanche was right upon tha work men. Tha men were In the employ of tha Mount Hood Construction Company and were grading the roadbed preparatory to laying track. Had they been able to work another day they would bars completed the grading ready for tba tracklayers. Under normal weather conditions It Is likely that their task would have been finished earlier In tha week, aa incessant rains of tha last few cays have made the ground so heavy that It Is difficult to handle. Tha rain along tha line of the rail road bee been much heavier than In Portland and haa caused small slides at aevsral places. At tha very point where yesterday's f-.ial accident oc curred a large quantity of earth and gravel had been carried down upon tba roadbed only a abort tlma before and the ahovel waa engaged In removing this when tha elide struck It. Tha shovel Itself was not badly dam aged. It was turned over on Its aids bat no Important part waa broken. Plans were perfected last night for con veying It bade to tha roadway where It will be placed In service. Activity oa the Mount liood Railway construction will ba delayed for three or four daya as a result of tba accident Armistice) Ordered and Diaz Will Resign Before Jane 1 De la Barra and Madero to Rale Jointly Pending Election. (Continued from First Page.) telegraphed to Judge Carbajal this af ternoon, with instructions to submit thsm to General Madero. If they ara accepted, which la regarded aa certain, an armistice covering entire Mexico will ba agreed upon. Inasmuch tha government believea It haa made every concession that tha revolution ists have requested. It la firmly be lieved a treaty of peace will follow. Pnbllo Rejolcee in Capital. The publlo received tha announcement of Diaz Intention to resign with pro found satisfaction. Since tha battle of Juares they have realized that the President's renunciation of hla high office alone could bring about peace. Business throughout the republic baa suffered severely and the people gen erally were eager for aa honorable peace. one point upon which there may be dlepute Is the selection of Minister of War. Tha selection Is left entirely to Da la Barra. but the new man must ba a general wbo bus good will and respect of the army." It is Intimated that General Bernardino Reyes will ba the choice, but Madero has been In open opposition to him. General Joss Gonxalea Ealas has been suggested for tbe office, but he might not ba accept able to the government. Rebels Trust De la Barra. The reservation made regarding- tha foreign office probably will be ac ceptable to tha revolutionista. At no tlma haa Da la Barra Incurred tha personal antagonism of tha revolution ists, but he baa dona everything In hla power to bring the two factions to gether. It Is almost entirely through his efforts that an understanding la so near. Tha proposition that tha affairs of his office be conducted by a aub-secretary named by Mr. De la Barra In efleot will be filling the post with a new man and It la not Improbable this man will not bo chosen until after Madero has been oonsulted. regardless of tba stipu lation made by tbe government. It la considered that Madero will concede the fairness of De- la Barra in hla desire to get an amicable adjust ment of affairs and that he will not object to the mutual selection of re maining cablnent officers, as proposed. It Is not to he expected that the armistice will result In Immediate ces sation of hostilities. Without doubt tha government will place at the dis position of Madero the telegraph and railroads to facilitate tbe transmission of tbe news that an agreement baa been reached and- hla orders to cease fight ing, but It la not Improbable that battlea will be reported from time -to time In tha next two weeks, and prob ably even later. In districts isolated from communication. Dlaa SUU Heroic Figure. Tha scene wherein Porflrio Diss re nounced tha scepter he has wielded so many years would have been pathetlo bad It not been for the heroic character of the man who was Its central figure. Ia much pain, relieved ty narcotics. able to utter but few words and these with difficult-, recumbent on his bed. relinquishing his power he was still the dominant figure of the council. "Not once did be think of himself," said Llmantour. "Every thought he ex pressed was for the future of his coun try. He has an honest pride, but no x-anity. I venture to predict that la a year or two. when the new order of things has been established, Mexico will regard htm as the greatest hero. "This resignation must forever silence those who could find no other criticism than that be lusted for power. He has ruled with the single-hearted aim of his country's welfare, and he resigns for the same reason. Throughout his long administration be has never railed to listen to the best advice he could ob tain. "In this crisis, where he was most vitally concerned, next to the Republlo Itself, he listened Impartially to. his ad vlsers and acted with Judicial fairness. although tha decision went against himself." Cabinet Meets Near Sick Room. The president waa too 111 to sit among tha councillors. These, constituting the entire cabinet, gathered around table In tha parlor of the president's residence. Silken tapestries covered the walla and over these hung paintings of his toric charactera of Mexico Iturblde, Hidalgo, Juares and others honored by their country. In a chamber off thla room the president reclined, while in an ante-room a physician waited, ready on the Instant for any summons from tha sick room. Senor Llmantour, whenever possible, so conduoted tha conversation aa to render It necessary for tha president to answer only with "yes" or "no. After the meeting today Benor Llman tour aald that, while tha prealdent was In great pain, hla fever had subsided and tha physicians tn consultation on tbe case do not fear serious con quenoes. It will be some daya at least. however, before the presldsnt can leave hla bed. Complications to Be Feared. A physician not connected with tha case, but to whom the symptoms were described by a reporter, declined to take Issue with official optimism, but said that complications always are to be feared In such cases and especially If the patient Is advanced In years. It is said on authority that Presi dent Diaz baa no wish or intention to leave Mexico after his resignation. He Is an old man. and new scenes and faces have no attraction. He haa no fear of remaining among hia country men. There la no enmity to him per sonally. His integrity never haa been questioned. Political- differences have arisen, but ha feels that tha people over whom he haa ruled are his friends. Among them he wishes to end his days. While the present ministry is not completely convinced that tranquillity could not be more speedily restored with Dlas In power tor a few months after the signing of a peace agree ment, tha publlo at large feels little apprehension on that point. . It may be said, however, that the ministry feels less fear on that score since the object-lesson at Pachuca. Monday night and yesterday. The town la only 0 milea from tha capital. Rebels Keep Good Order. As already reported, a mob looted at 111 for several hours. Meanwhile, however, the better element formed a vigilance committee, which within six hours and without bloodshed rid the town of the disorderly element and maintained order until the coming of a rebel detachment In the jnorning. The latter nanaiea tne situation witn discretion, tact and firmness that could not have been exceeded had the fed erals been in control. Recently, too, tha government baa delegated to tha rebel leadera in the south the task of maintaining order In their respect ive districts and haa found the insur rectos fully equal to the task. Minister Llmantour said the govern ment baa paid its own war expenses out of tha contingent funds and that no new bond Issues will be necessary. The revolutionary debt Is estimated at . 000. 000 pesos ($3,000,000), which It Is said tbe government can pay without embarrassment. Lightning Strikes Automobile. MINOT, N. D- May IT. Tha path- finding automobile of tha Minnesota Automobile Association, en routs to Helena. Mont., near Tunbrldge yester day was struck by lightning and Driver Overshlne and C. K. Babcock, a tele graph operator, were stunned, but soon recovered. The wiring of tha car was burned out, but no other injury was dona.
