File No. 812.00/1655.

The American Consul at Ciudad Juarez to the Secretary of State.

[Telegram.]

American Consulate,
Ciudad Juarez, May 7, 1911.

Francisco I. Madero, leader of the insurrectos, issued a signed statement to-day declaring all peace negotiations at an end and without result, and also stated that the attack on Juarez had been abandoned, giving as a reason the fear that an international complication would result from an engagement between the two forces so close to the border. He will to-morrow commence a movement south and continue his march to the City of Mexico.
