DM? MAY STEP OUT
ANNOUNCEMENT TO THIS EF
FECT SEEMS PROBABLE.
WOULD CAUSE NO SURPRISE
Recognizes Seriousness of Situation
and May Respond to Wishes of
the Masses.
Mexico City. The resignation of
Porfirio Diaz as president of Mexico
within a short time is regarded here
as a certainty. Should the announce
ment be made soon it would cause
no surprise to his cabinet.
No authoritative confirmation could
be obtained, but there appears little
doubt that President Diaz, recogniz
ing the seriousness of the situation
and responding to the popular de
mand, will retire when order is re
stored. At the president's office no state
ment could be hed and the cabinet,
realizing that he was the only man
who could give a direct answer to
the demands of Francisco I. Madero,
jr., the revolutionary leader, that Diaz
should publish his intention to re
sign, were silent.
Friday afternoon Minister of For
eign Affairs de la Barra was peremp
torily summoned to the office of tbe
president On arriving he found Se
nor Limantour. minister of finance,
who likewise had been summoned.
The three officials were in conference
for hours.
Immediately afterwards typewritten
statements were issued by tbe foreign
office to all newspapers saying the re
ception to the Chilean minister and
the banquet to him had been post
poned until May 12. The reason for
this was given as "the slight Illness
of the president."
Since the statement was issued
General Diaz is known t8o have been
out riding in his automobile. This
morning he apparently was in his
usual health. This in connection
with the fact that the conference was
held gives rise to the belief that the
announcement. of his intention to re
sign will not be made before Satur
day at the earliest.
In the event of his resignation
there will be opposition on the part
of the present government officials to
Senor de la Barra's incumbency of the
presidency pending elections. The
question of Vice President Corral's re
signation is not so simple. It is known
that before departing for Europe he
refused to resign, and since arriving
there he has reiterated this state
ment. Treaty Ratified.
Tokio. Ratifications of the Anglo
Japanese commercial treaty were ex

brother, James B. McNamara. was
arraigned on a charge of murder, all
in connection with the explosion
which wrecked the Los Angeles
Times on October 1. last, and killed
21 men.

And keep his furnace burning right.
The while he has a worried soul
Because he has no appetite.

"The wrinkles come beneath my eyes."
His Indian clubs he then will sway
Because he needs some exercise.
He hires a man to shovel snow
When on the walks 'tis drifted deep
"Ah. my vitality is low."
He says, as though about to weep.
"I used to be a crackerjack

And then he pays a sturdy fee
For a physician's solemn talk;

To straighten out his nervous kinks.

when the principal of the academy
arose and announced:
"I beg to call your attention to a
correction that should have been made

Beyond the Alps Lies Italy, but she
