Washington, Feb. 18.—Proof that/ President Madero and his aides sent out falsely a report that. General Diaz had violated the armistice Sun- day and brought on a renewal of the battle was contained in a dispatch to the state department from Ambassa- dor Wilson today.: The message de- clares that it was Madero who vio- lated the armistice by establishing his men in new positions, loading with dynamite the sewer approaches to the citadel held by Diaz and es- tablishing cannon on the tops of the buildings nearby, The ambassador said the charges had been made by Diaz and that an investigation by his aides had proved them true.

The ambassador de- clared: that' previous' to the letter’s arrival he ‘had satisfled himself of the falsity of the reports.. Following the discovery that the federals had violated the armistice the ambassador said he had endeav- ored to arrange for a continuance of the armistice today but what suc- cess he had is not known yet.
