That anxiety among foreigners in Mexico City is inreasing is the news sent to the state department by Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson. The department today gave out the following formal statement: "Ambassador Wilson telegraphs that anxiety and alarm among Amer ican citizens and among foreigners in Mexico City seems to be increas ing.

General Madero's demand that President Diaz resign immediately has brought the negotia tions for peace to a crisis. Within the next two days, It was believed, peace will either be declared or fight ing resumed. All minor considera tions are being Ignored in the pres ent negotiations and the question of peace hinges entirely on President Diaz' answer. It is generally be lieved here that Madero's lieutenants are largely responsible for the last ultimatum. They fear that Diaz will "double cross" the rebels after they disband, and then refuse to resign. If President Diaz announces his early retirement then the war will end. If not, it is certain that the revolution will break out simultane ously in a hundred different places. Today Is Cinco Do Mayo day, the anniversary of the battle of Puebla, at which President Diaz was the Chicago. May 5.

Van Alstyne admitted that he was lying in a position that placed Harp In a direct line with him when he fired. The attorneys for the state I did their utmost to shake Van Al I styne's testimony, but failed. The prosecution will rest its case either tomorrow or early Monday.

Thornberg, a young man, was discovered wandering aoout, on Howell Prairie this morning by res idents of that section and believing him to be demented they brought him before Judge Bushey this after noon for examination. An Investigation disclosed that Thornberg had been drinking consid erably and that he had become lost. It seems that during most 6f yester day and all of last night he was out In the cold rain and when discovered was almost frozen.

Believing that the battle (or a U. 3. senator will reach a climax during the clos ing hours of the legislature, which adjourns at midnight Saturday, the members opposed to the election of Robert Speer today are stocking a room in the capltol with food.
