OlflTED PBJtIS LEASED Will.)
El Paso Tex., May 6. Contradict
ing earlier reports' a rumor became
current here early this afternoon that
the Mexican armistice had been
called off at 1 o'clock and that an
attack upon Juarez before nightfall
was possible.
It wasstated that President Diaz,
angry -at the insistence of Madero
that he should at once resign, had
decided to finally abandon all nego
tiations and -would fight to a finish
auy' attempt to oust him from the
presidency.
The Insistence of Judge Carbajal,
the federal peace commissioner, that
lie had not sent to Diaz the Madero
demand for his resignation leads to
the belief here that Carbajal was
Instructed from the first not to con
sider any such demand. Madero and
liis lieutenants, it is believed, had
finally awakened to the realization
that whatever else they might rea
sonably expect, Diaz still Intended to
keep his grip on the reins of govern
ment. Convinced that if he presi
dency were unchanged, granting of
any other reforms would be futile,
the insurrectos, It Is said, pressed
so hard for an answer that the Diaz
government was forced to a flat re
fusal, which, of course, means an
early resumption of fighting even at
the risk of foreign Intervention.

were to be resumed between the

FARM oS ASYLUM FARM FOR
EXPERIMENTATION AND ALSO
FOR GENERAL USEFUL RE
SULTS The co-operation of the Oregon
State Agriculture College In the
establishment of a poultry farm for
the purpose of supplying the state
lnstjtutlpns is a plan which Governor
"'est is now considering and upon
the feasibility of which he has been
given a re-port from Professor Dry
den of the college.
The governor some time' ago con
nived the idea of the establishment
of such a farm, and also the Idea of
securing the co-operation of the
Agriculture College in conducting
it. The rHege has a fund for con
ducting experiments along poultry
line, needs land for the . purpose,
and the Asylum farm was suggested
to supply the need1. The plan was
outlined to professor Dryden and he
asked to submit a report upon it.
Flan Feasible.
Professor Dryden after Investiga
ting the situation of the state in
stitutions, not only asserts that the
Plan la feasible, but Is enthusiastic
ovr It. He says that the Asylum
.'arm Is an ideal location for a poultry
farm, and that It would afford a
inlf-ndid opportunity for the college
t conduct is experiments, and at
the same time the work would oper
ate as a great saving to the state as
't would be raising Its own poultry.
He estimates that It would require
t leust 5,000 and probably 8,000
hns to supply the different Institutions.
S CALLED OFF
Mexican factions followed the fact
that an unofficial extension of the ar
mistice was made at 1 o'clock at the
expiration of the previous armistice.
Mexican Congressmen Branlff and
Obregon were then at Madero's camp.
Immediately the report became
current the federal troops at Juarez
became active and the insurgents
prepared their outposts for a clash.
Later, however, news of the unof
ficial extension made it improbable
that there will be fighting until the
matter of the armistice is definitely
settled.
Will Not Attack Today.
El Paso Tex., May 6. Francisco
Madero, the rebel chieftain, this af
ternoon confirmed . the report that
the armistice with the Diaz forces
had been officially declared off. He
said that he refused to renew the
arrangement but that he -would not
attack Juarez. Maderq refused to
say what would be his plans for the
future.
Immediately upon confirmation of
the report that a state of war again
existed, the federal troops In Juarez
were again stationed on the house
tops, In the Intrenchments and at the
barricades, and refugees at once be
gan an exodus from Juarez to El
Paso.
The attack' on Juafez Is expected
early tomorrow, unless In the mean
time the armistice Is again re
newed.

morning when reports from the
front were received. , There are 120
men In the band and possibly more,
as several parties on . the American
side are known to have been trying
to slip across and Join them for sev

Exictement at Tla Juana was at

Tecate this morning.
-Mndero Would Resign.
New York, May 6. Under an El
Paso date, the Times today printed a
signed statement from Franlsco I.
Madero setting forth that Madero
will resign as provisional president
of Mexico if Diaz will heed the de
mands of the rebels and give up the
presidency. In -his- statement Madero
says:
"I desire very earnestly that peace
may be restored soon but In order
to obtain it Immediately, It is neces
sary that the leaders of both con
tending parties act with unselfish
ness and patriotism. On my part I
stand ready to resign the provisional
presidency If that course will restore
peace, provided, however that the
peace will bring with It the liberty
that will satisfy the people.
"This condition can only be se
cured by the retirement of General
Diaz, who, I am Informed, Is desir
ous of retiring, since he Is inspired
by the same patriotic sentiments
that I am. If he does so, peace will
be immediately restored; as I am

Washington, May 6. That Amerl-
can Intervention In Mexican affairs Is
not Imminent and will only come If j
events so force it, Is the belief of
i
Congressman William Sulzer, chair
man of the house committee on for
eign affairs.
"Unless American citizens In Mex
ico are outraged In such a manner I
as to necessitate Intervention In
der to protect our people, there Is
no disposition on the part of Amer-'
lea to intervene," Sulzer said. "Mem
bers of the various interested con
gressional committees the president j
and the state department are work-;
Ing together, resolved to keep hands
off as long as possible. I, do not see
any obligation on our part to pacify
Mexico. Intervention would cost us
thousands of lives and millions of
dollars and probably would unite
the present opposing factions In Mex
ico against us. This would result In
guerilla warfare that would keep us
In the field for years."

"It Is because of the very fact that
there are too many Judge-made laws

San Francisco, May 6. Bringing

Juan arrived today from Panama and
Mexican ports. The vessel was un
able to discharge her cargo at Ma
zatian, owing to the bombardment
by the Papette. She cleared two
hours after her arrival there on the
afternoon of April 29.
Several of the refugees, rme of

keeping within the appropriations
made, and allowing the blame to fall
where It may on the legislature, If
necessary, and 'they Intend to stick
to it.
With a view of securing temporary
relief Governor West has Inaugurat
ed a policy of making convicts trus
ties at' the different state Inatltu-
tlons, and during their employment
the institutions where they are em
ployed feed them. On May 20, the
new parole law goes Into effect, and
there are many prisoners who will be
entltlod to paroles, and whom the
board will recommend be paroled,
and this will reduce the number. The
board! will have full power with re-
gutd to the paroling of the prisoners,
Jed when a recommendation Is made
it is mandatory upon the governor
to follow It.
The labor performed by the con
victs at the Institution! Is not of such
a character that It will throw people
now employed by the state lnstltu
tlons out of work, as It Is In the line
of Improvement, and work which the
state could not undertake were it not
'that It can avail Itself of convict la
bor.
Other Appropriations Also Low.
The appropriations for the other
Institutions are also low and the
state board' is confronted with the
same problem with relation to them
that the governor la In relation to
the state prison. In every way pos.
slble the board Is cutting expenses
and much needed Improvements will
have to be abandoned because of the
hick of sufficient appropriations.
A rumor gained currency that the
board contemplates cutting down the
wages of employes, but this Is with
out foundation. No such move was
ever contemplated, and to do so
would be Impossible, as tho wage
scale Is as low now as It Is possible
for it to bo, ' and' secure competent

One and all the passengers of the
San Juan declared that the situation
In Mazatlan, when they left, after
three days of fighting between tha
insurrectos in the. hills and the feder
al garrison, was terrible. For threa
days the water supply of the town
had been cut off, and .food was so
scarce that practically every one had
gone hungry for many hours. To
add to their distress, the shells from
the gunboat, fired at the rebels In
the hills east of town, had been fall
ing short of their mark, occasioning
great loss of life and property among
the residents of MazaUan.
' Just before the Mazatlan sailed It
was learned that the Mexlcon officials
of the city had taken refuge on the
gunboats, leaving the natives and the
foreign residents to shift for them
selves. They1 declared that .unless '
the city has by this time capitulated
to the Insurgents or the federals
have driven the besiegers out, tha
people of Mazatlan will have en
duded fearful hardships.
Captain F. E. Frazler, of the San
Juan, said that the firing of the
gunboats could be heard ' several
hours after his Bhlp left the harbor of
