MEXICAN
ELECTIONS
ON TODAY
Although Country Was Quiet Yes
terday, Officials Prepare to Guard
Against Outbreaks Nephew of
Diaz Resigns as Chief of Police to
Placate People.
MEXICO CITY, Mexico, Juno 25.
Though tho country la qulot to
day, officials throughout Mexico aro
preparing to meet outbreaks tomor
row, when tho national elections will
bo held. That the administration re
gards tho possibility of attempted
uprisings as a grave danger la indi
cated by a sudden change ot front
today. It waa announced today that
Ramon Corral, present vice president
and candidato for re-election, against
whom tho tiro of tho liberals has
been directed, has withdrawn. Theo
dore Dchesa will become tho ad
ministration candidato for the vice
presidency and he will bo probably
declared elected after tho Balloting
tomorrow ends.
Would Placate People.
As another Indication that tho
administration dcsllres to placato
people the announcement has been
mnde thnt Felix Diaz, nephew of the
president, has resigned as chief of
police. Felix Diaz was ono of the
most unpopular officials In tho ad
ministration. It is through his offices
that the numerous arrests of liber
ate have been made, and because ho
was related to the president power
ful reactionaries have declared that
the president had a much moro direct
control over tho movement of tho
police than he could have maintained
through his office. Tho withdrawal
of Corral and tho resignation of Fe
lix Dlnz was intended as n sop to
the liberals, it is declared, although
tho newspapers make no comment. In
many quarters it Is bollovcd that
the victory of tho liberals is not n
real victory and thnt Dehesa is only
a figure-head. Corral himself, It is
declared, will havo tho powers of of
fice, no matter who may tako its
title. It is also declared that the
resignation of Felix DJaz is intended
only to decolvo tho peoplo, t.nd it is

thoy, with tho assistanco of local

this company to build.
Tho hotel will havo a well-nrrang-
ed lobby, mezzanine floor, olovntors
