El Paso, Texas, April 20.-Fran cisco 1. Madero, Jr., lias refused ab solutely to grant an armistice as suggested by Dr. Gomez at Washing ton. He sent word to-day that he would talk armistice after the battle ?f Juarez, and then only. "They want an armistice to get up reinforcements; that is all," he said. "We will first light; my army will win or be whipped at Juarez before we talk armistice." This morning Madero sent official notice to the consuls at Juarez that he might attack the town any hour after 12 o'clock to-night. Daybreak found the situation around Juarez unchanged. There were no alarms during thc night. It is reported that considerable supplies of ammunition were smuggled across the river to tho insurrectos under the cover of darkness. Formal demand for the surrender of Juarez within 24 hours was made by the insurgents last night, accord ing to Gonzales Garza, secretary-gen eral of the insurrecto party, who de clared that he had forwarded the de mand to Gen. Navarro, the Federal commander, through the United States consul at Juarez. Navarro last night denied having received the de mand. According to United States army officers here, Juarez is well prepared for the expected attack. The trenches outside the city, they say, have been so well constructed as practically to defy discovery, and the fortifications -within the city show unusual mili tary skill. Juarez, in their opinion, ls in a position to resist the attack of a force far greater than Its garrison. The insurrectos, it is believed, must attack soon after the expiration of the 24-hour respite given in their demand for surrender last night, as they are said to be out of food. From Bauche, 12 miles south of Juarez, where they detrained, they advanced on foot into the hills near Juarez, taking with them, it is said, no food tm pp) les but a herd of goats.

He waa one of the section hands in charge of the work. Hardly had he entered the place before the alarm was given that he, too, had collapsed.

I Secretary M.veVoagh. speaking before the South Carolina Rankers' Associ ation here last night, made a plea to the Southern States to break from one-party rule and become bi-partl san in their politics for their own good. He declared lt to be of funda mental importance that any party governed nation should have two available parties that the political life of all the people shall be at Its best. "Two parties with at least fairly equal chances of governing are re quired in the work of governing the country, both locally and nationally," he said. Secretary MacVeagh discussed party conditions in both the North and South in a friendly spirit, and said that, while he fully understood the obstacles to the development of bl-party In the South, he firmly be lieved the change could be accom plished. "I do not speak as a Republican," he said. "I am a member of the Re publican party and 1 am a member of it because I believe In lt. I was a member of the Democratic party during Cleveland's time and I was a member of it because I believed In it. But my Interest in bl-party poli tics is the Interest of a citizen-of an American. I want you to believe that my Interest In seeing the South un der a two-party system is wholly In dependent of the question whether one party or the other shall prevail. "The important thing to me is not that any one party should win. It is that there shall be two parties with the possibility that either may win; for this is party government in Its real meaning, and with its real equip ment. If Hie South were alone con cerned, bl-party everywhere would still be a matter of sincere aspiration to me. Rut the question is a larger one-its Importance is national."

MANNING SIMONS DEAD. Dim of tho Rest Known Physicians and Surgeons of this State. Charleston, April 19.-Dr. Man ning Simons, a leading physician and surgeon, died suddenly last night at his residence on Rutledge avenue, after a short illness, in the Gath year of his age. Dr. Simons had not been in the best of health for a couple of years. Last Thursday he took to his bed, but during the past few days he seemed to gain strength, and his death last night, preceded by only a short sinking spell, was quite unex pected. Dr. Simons was probably the best known physician and surgeon of South Carolina. He was known all over the South and generally through the States. His fame as a surgeon was generally recognized among the professlon. Securing a good claslcal education, which was interrupted by tho break ing out of the war, Dr. Simons en tered the service of the Confederacy and served as a courier on the staff of Gen. Hardee. After the war he matriculated at the Medical College of South Carolina, where he gradu ated with honors In 1868. He later became surgeon of the Roper Hos pital and of the St. Francis Xavier infirmary, continuing his connection with tho latter institution to the time of his death. For more than forty years he was connected with the Medical College, early in his career dividing the work of surgery with the late Dr. R. A. Kinloch. At the time of his death ho held the chair of abdominal surgery and gynecology. Dr. Simons 18 survived by a widow and one son, two brothers, James Simons and H.
