Following is a resume of exciting developments in the Mexican situit- tion, given in their proper sequence: I Mudero announces that in defer- j j enoe to United tSattS, he will give . I up plan to attack Juarer, take his ! troops from the neighborhood of j j the international boundary and j t start south with cry, "On to Mei City. Rebels apparently charge plans and prvpare to make midnight at tack on Juarez. When rebel guns an? trained on Juarez and attack is about to begin, j t the news of Diaz announcement i reaches ir.surrecto leaders and loth j attac acK on ju;tni ai:u rAn-uiiuiii 10 -th are halted. Peace is thought ? south near at hand. Mexico City. May 9. General Tor- ; firio Dial tonight issued a manifesto i I to the pet po of Mexico declaring his 'intention of resigning the presidency ; as soon as peace is restored. Ia this j manner t.-.e present ras -.rtuai.y ac i ceded to the demands of Francisco I. I l i tjr h. rru'.-j fin n. 11 1 e...Tn i,i t of"' .sach tet,titfn. j . Aj to wkt. actually re-! , 5tore,- Genera Diaz reserves the; ritfht to ,h(? j,Jtitre- ,n the worJs . of the manifesto, it will be "when, according to the dictates of my con science. 1 am sure that my resignation will not be followed by anarchy." The president said his determination ' , . . i . . 1 i this tiir.e as not due to vamtv or love , . , . - . i ui j..ivst-r, ir'.tue, s ne uiuinj i'ui, power at this time had no attraction, i accompanied as it is bv tremendous j responsibilities and worry. He said j he was prompted solely by a desire to ; conserve the best interests of his Cviuntry. The president made it clear he d-x-s not propose to abandon the presidency while his country is at war and that he would not do so at ar.y time under compulsion. President Diaz' mani festo will be made public tomorrow morning, but it will not be sent offi cially to Judge Carbajal forforrnal transmission to Dr. Vasjuez Gomez. The promise of the president is made to the people of Mexico and its receipt by the revolutionist swill be in cidental. That it will be sent to them immediately, however, by pri vate individals and regarded as en tirely satisfactory by them is taken for granted. REVOLT IS IMPENDING.

President Taft in his speech at the opening of the Thir-j National Peace conference here today, said the I'm led States would keep hands off and net Seek to extend its domain or to acquire foreign terri tory. He made no mention of Mex- j ico, but to those who heard him it was evident that he referred to the uth. ! era republic. "Ore of the di:T;cu!ties the United States f.nds is the natural suspicions that the countries engnged have of the se,i oi an opjortumty in such pres ! ence as this to assert that there is r.ot j in the whole length and breadth of the : United States among its people ary desire for territorial aggrandizement ; and that its per-ple as a wh-i will not ! permit its government, if it would. j to take any steps in re-;oet to foreign pe'piT. njoaii g o a i- rcioie exten- sion of our jliticul p.wer.

The five councilmen went tn the hotel to hold their meeting, but Mrs. Wilson "met" in a feed store. She had the clerk's journal and other papers, but as she alone was not a quorum, neither session transacted any business. Meanwhile two women who were to have been appointed city clerk and marshal, still lack their commissions. Indianapolis Waits Indignant.
