ANTI-DIAZ IT IN Ci
DELAY IN DIAZ RESIGNAliu THE CAUSE
POPULACE IS AROUSED AND BEDLAM LOOSENED IN CAPITAL WHEN
RUMOR WAS STARTED THAT THE AGED PRESIDENT DID NOT
INTEND TO RESIGN MEXICAN GIRL IS ONE OF THE LEADERS OF
THE MANIFESTANTS DIAZ VERY ILL AT THE PALACE AND
HEARS THE MOB CRY OUT FOR HIS DEATH CHEERS FOR MA-
DERO STIR THE POPULACE SITUATION IS CRITICAL.
City of Mexico May 21. For nix
hours tonij-lit. this city was in the
hands of a mol until a rainstorm
more effective than police and sol-
diers caused the dispersal of most
of them. At midnight however a rem-
nant keeping step to the beating of
tin pails and paying no attention to
the? downpour continued the demon-
stration carefully watched by liolice
an (soldiers who followed them every-
where. Twice soldiers fired on the mob the
first time at the Zocolo the big square
in front of the national palace and
again to disperse a mob which had
stoned tho building occupied by Kl
Iniparcial and had sot It on fire.
Nothing like accuracy is to be ob-
tained tonight with reference to the
number of the (load. Estimates run
from seven to eighteen including three
policemen said to have been beaten to
death by tho mob.
Kl Imparcial which continues to pre
pare for publication despite the at-
tacks made on the building goes so
far as to place the estimate at thirty
dead mostly at the Zoloco.
The police at midnight estimated
tho dead in the Zoloco at five or six
and the wounded at forty or fifty-five.
Gen. Diaz who has reserved the cap-
tain's quarters on a Hamburg-American
liner due to sail from Vera Cruz
o nthe last day of the month contin-
ues very ill despite recent optimistic
official reports.
City of Mexico May 24. Knraged
by the announcement that President
Diaz and Vice President Corral would
not resign before tomorrow specta-
tors in the gallery of tho chamber of
deputies this afternoon precipitated a
riot that has resulted in numbers be
ing shot down by the police and
troops.
President Diaz baa had fever for five
days taking liquid nourishment only.
Until 9 o'clock tonight the mob en-
countered practically no opposition by
Hit authorities and apparently little
restriction was necessary. Shouting
vivas for Madero they paraded the
streets of the capital but always in
an orderly fashion except for the
noitie and occasional instances of van-
dalism were immediately condemned
by the thousands of marching men
who joined in shouts of "Order! Or-
der!" At 8:30 o'clock It appeared that the
crowd was dispersing. The main body-
bad been broken into smaller grou; s.
but at that time some of these had
grown more demonstrative in tho big
plaza in front of the palace and the
police determined that the time had
come for drastic measures to be taken.
The shouting gesticulating mass of
humanity was warned to move on but
a confidence born of better treatment
earlier in the evening caused them to
receive with derision the order of the
police. Again they were told to dis-
perse and again no attention was paid
to the order.
Quickly their shouts of ridicule were
turned Info cries of anguish for the
guns of the police and the soldiers
were throwing into their midst a hail
of bullet. The living stumbled In a
mad rush over the bodies of the dead
and wounded.
The narrow streets leading from the
Zoloco were jammed with fleeing men
and many women. For a few minutes
the guns of the government were still
ed but a re?athering on the street
corners of the now thoroughly enraged
as well as frightened partisans of Ma-
dero resulted in another order to flie
at will.
Sharper and longer now came the
shooting. The mob fled. but. contrary
to all traditions of Mexico the tiooi s
had not yet in .imldated the ricters
to the point where they were wiling to
submit.
The force of the iron band was
weakening and despite the death it
had brought the rioter- refused to do
more than ecattor into miniature mobs
each shouting for Madero and yelling
for the early downfall of the present
government.
Police and soldiers began an active
patrol of the streets but the lawless
bands merely moved onward to an-
other street when the soldiers were
sighted.
In the midst of it all President Diaz
lay on a sick lied. It was learned on
authority this afternoon that despite
recent optimistic officials reports on
his condition the president has shown
several degrees of fever for the last
five days. He declines to see all visi-
tors including members of the diplo-
matic corps and takes nothing but
liquid nourishment.
Madame Diaz told n visitor this af-
ternoon that the presidents principal
diet was warm milk. His condition is
considered serious by members of his
family owning to his advanced age.
The presidential palace was crowd
ed with visitors mostly personal
friends who had called to pay their
respects and to show their loyalty in
the hour of the decline of his power.
There were not chairs enough in the
palace for them and they stood on the
stairway! in the parlors and lined the
corridors.
Almost at the moment of the begin-
ning of the demonstration the Ameri-
can ambassador Henry Lane 'Wilson
drove up In his limousine and entered
the palace. His visit was for the pur
pose of payir.g l:ia respects to the
president. He chatted for some time
with Madame Diaz the latter expre-SJ-ing
her regrets that the president was
too sick to receive any visitors. The
call lasted twenty minutes. When the
ambassador emerged be found trooi
lined up in front of the palace und I "
mounted police at either end of the'
block.
Tlie troops which did the shooting
reinforced the police later. The shouts
of the mob crying "Vive Madero!"
and "Death to Diaz!" could plainly be
heard by the ambassador although
they did not penetrate so far as the
president's bed chamber save when
some careless servant allowed the
door to remain oiien for a moment.
The ambassador's motor car moved

thrust inside and the diplomat saluted
with "Vive el Embajador!" ( "Long
