LEADER NOT RECOGNIZED
Insurrectionists Anxious to Carry Out Madero's Plans to Insure More Radical Changes,
Madero's Camp, Bustillo's Estate, Near Chihuahua, Mexico. April 7.—What he declared to be his ultimatum on the question of peace was delivered by Francisco I. Madero today. While still insisting President Diaz retire and the country be given a new election, Senor Madero said he was willing to resign as provisional president and if necessary allow a provisional president to be selected from Diaz' cabinet.
The tenor of Senor Madero's interview was rather to discredit the possibility of immediate peace. He said no peace overtures whatever had been received by him. He had not intended to move camp towards the border or anywhere else with a view of receiving any peace commissioners. The report that his father was in El Paso and preparing to enter the insurrectionist's country, interested him but would have no influence on his action, he said.
It was the first formal interview Senor Madero had given since the complete text of President Diaz' message was received in camp. As for the reforms promised in the message, Senor Madero dismissed them with a smile saying the promises were no more than President Diaz had made before.
By permission of the federal authorities and insurrectionists a special train flying a white flag was run out to Bustillo's Hacienda, sixty miles west of Chihuahua. Half way out the correspondent was met by General Orozco and an escort of 100 insurrectos. Senor Madero dictated a statement which he said might be accepted as a definite expression of his views.
