agent of the Associated Press TO whom he expressed
himself very freely the state Of affairs in Mexico He
said he resigned the Ministry of War in August last be-
cause he found 1t impossible to convince Lerdo that re-

tended heading an opposition party against Lerdo,
although he had ample and opportunity to DO So
having been IL years at the head OF the War Depart
ment He does not believe that Dlaz VIII succeed 10 TO
