POPULAR UD ABLE LEADER OE
MEXICAN LIBERAL PARTY
10 HEAD REVOLUTION
Eagle Pass, Texas, Nov. 21. "General Bernardo Reyes is
coming." This is the whisper that has gone with telegraphic
swiftness up and down the Rio Grande. If true, and many Mex
icans assert it is, it means that ftie revolutionists have at their
head a man of superior military training to any other man in
Mexico, not even excepting President Diaz himself.
General Reyes was once a business friend of Diaz, and is
now. said to be an exile from his country. He was sent a year
aro to Paris on a military mission, and since then no word
oame from him until today, when the cautious words were sent
from Matamoras to Las Vacas. It was reported among Mexi
cans that he has already taken passage for New York, and
state of Neuvo Leon, the hotbed of revolution in Mexico. Dur-
ing tbe last campaign his admirers proposed his name for vice
president. .
VasHnstoii, Nov. 31. Belated
telegrams reaching the state depart
ment from officials in Mexico, men
tion various revolutionary disturb
ances in different parts of the coun
try but all agree in one reject, and
that is that the Diaz government is
strong enough to repress the revolu
tionlsts. Tills government is exert
ing every effort to prevent illegal ex
peditions from forming in the. Uuited
States territury, and it is believed
the federal troops in Texas are am
ple to nieot any emergency which
mav arise on the border line.
brigadier General Ralph W. Hoyt,
commander of the department of
Texas, has been instructed by the
n-ar department to hold troops in
readiness to meet any call made by
the governor of Texas to preserve
neutrality on the part of the United
States in connection with the revolt
in Mexico.
