the inmirrcckMt, who, despite tho dec
larations of Madcro and Judge Carba
Jal that peace Is assured, expect fight
ing to bo resumed after the cxjii ra

ro ready to leave for Chihuahua any
time. Mclaero now announces that he
won't go to Mexico City until Scnor
Do Barra is installed as president.
It is believed that the assnsfdnailon
plot caused him to suddenly cliango
his mind.
Mndero's Statement.
"From the moment I received the
Invitation of the government of Gen
eral Din that I should go to the cap
ital of the republic with the object
of the treating for Uio establishment
of peace it appeared to me It would
be convenient if I did not arrive In
Mexico City until such time as Senor
do la Hurra had been Installed in the
presidency. With that Idea in mi
nimi, I was about to write a telegram
in reply. Hut it appeared to me that
to do such a thing might bo Inter
preted by General U.az as lacK of
confident-,. In him on my part, and
for that reason I accepted the Invita
tion without making any comment or
fixing any time for my departure.
"The one think that I did was to
prepare myself for tho Journey as
soon as It would be convenient. Af
terwards It was Indicated to me that
the government of General Diaz
thought as 1 did respecting tho period
In which I ought to go to Mexico City,
io It is possible for mc to announco
definitely that I will not go to the
capital until Scnor de la Barra shall
have been placed In power.
