manager of the Monterey and Mex
lean Gulf railroad and took charge
on the 18th inst. He has appointed
Mr.. c.. NJ. Barnett his chief clerk, a
position which he held with him
on the Mexican International at
Eagle Pass, Texas.
Last week Gen. Bernardo Reyes
published a C . rd in the city papers
correcting thereport that has been
sent to the American press from
Mexico, that he was aspiring to the
presidency, and that President
Diaz would resign in his favor.
Gen. Reyes is next to President
DiaZ, the most popular man in
Mexico, and in the event that he
does not want the nomination, for
another term, General Reyes would
be the most suitable man to sue
coed him. He is honest, and well
qualified to fill the office. He is
progressive, and has made one of
the best executive officers that the
state of Nueva Leon ever had. His
popularity and honesty and ability
are unquestiOned.
The governor is having six school
buildings erected in the city, three
for boys and three for girls. Two of
them are being built on the ROble
