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.
