Armed Truce In Mexico City; Madero Returns.

New York Times 100 years ago today, February 11, 1913:
Called Upon by Diaz for His Resignation, the President Cries, "I Will Die First!"
REBEL LEADER INSISTENT
Says He Held Off to Prevent Slaughter, but the Federals Have Not Done the Same.
BATTLE PREDICTED TO-DAY
Both Sides Have Been Strengthening Their Positions and Seeking Reinforcements.
FOREIGNERS NOT MOLESTED
Executions Take Place at the Palace — Son of Reyes Kills Himself.
NORTHERN GENERALS WAITING
Washington Hurries Warships to Convenient Ports to Watch Events in Republic.
General Diaz to The Times.
By Cable to the Editor of The New York Times.
    MEXICO CITY, Feb. 10.— The revolt is in progress and in a few hours will have to be decided. All the chances are in our favor. I will protect all your citizens and properties.
        FELIX DIAZ.
