REVOLT IN MEXICO
MADERO'S RESIGNATION WITHDRAWN. EMERGENCY MEETING OF PARLIAMENT. (Received February 17, 9.5 a.m.) MEXICO CITY, February 16. President Madero withdrew his resignation, and Congress called an emergency meeting and discussed plans for ousting him. Madero defied Congress, declaring he was able to defeat General Diaz if given a chance. There was savage fighting in the streets throughout the day. Shells, crashing through the roofs of hotels, killed numbers of Americans. The Government, after this, censored despatches. General Gomez, operating in the northern districts, has proclaimed himself President, and will appoint a provisional Cabinet immediately. General Diaz has agreed to form a .safety zone round the embassies, provided President Madero consents. Madero is not likely to object. Fatalities of foreigners will therefore fore probably be fewer than in the past.
