CRY OF MEXICO, Oct. 1.-General
Antonio Ezeta has arrived here. He
says his delay was caused by taking the
wrong train, which carried him toward
the United States. He called on Presi-
dent Diaz in merely friendly way.
He denies any intention Of revolution
and says that he in no way authorized
the telegram sent out from San Fran
cisco stating that he was coming here
to make war on San Salvador or Hon.
duras. He says he intends making this
country his home and will engage in
coffee planting and bring his family
here. His grandparents were born in
Mexico and he looks upon the
country as his adopted home. He
laughs at the idea of war between
Mexico and Guatamala. He says 10,-

than enough to clean out Guatemala,
which has no soldiers of experience and
sYorse officers. President Diaz was in
