Washington, Feb. 15.(Special to Daily Democrat.) —At eleven o’clock today the state department was completely overwhelmed with communications from Mexico City. The department however is still without confirmation of the resignation of Madero. The four great battleships sent by the United States and due in the Mexico ports today are ordered to land inar- ■ Ines and blue-jackets and to accept orders from the American embassy. Such a landing will not be held as an intervention. The announcement of Madero's resignation came from the British embassy and the report of the appointment of De La Barra to the provisional presidency caused much surprise in the diplomatic circles. De La Barra is known to be pro-British and while in Washington was very friendly with the British embassy. Mexico City, Feb. 15.(Special to Daily Democrat ) —‘Til die rather than hesign,” replied President Madero to the advisers and leaders of the Mexican senate who spent the greater part, (of last night in trying to influence him to give up his position. In the I face of the report that Madero had resigned the fighting still continued. Early today Madero’s troops were making ready to renew the battle. The reports of his resignation are supposed to have been a ruse to throw Diaz off his guard but if so the ruse failed. Reports state that the resignation had been placed in the hands of the Mexican senate and diplomatic [circles are anxiously awaiting more word.
