WHY REYES RESIGNED
MOTIVES OF DELICACY PRoMPT
 ED THE ACTION.
Had Been Charged, Though Untrue, That a Relative Had Made At tack on Minister Limantour
 Through a Newspaper.

Mexico City, Dec. 24,-The resignation of General Bernado Reyes, who. since January, 1900, has held the post of Min ister of War, has caused a decided sem sation in political circles.
 He has made an excellent record in this office and has built up slowly great re- servist army which is an auxiliary to the regular forces. His administration of his office has been praised on all hands. and iu his retirement from the cabinet he car rles with him the general good will of his ministerial associates.
 It Is reported that General Reyes will again become Governor of the important State of Neuvo Leon. whose capital is the city of Monterey. 1t Is probable that General Francisco Mena, at present Min ister of Comm unications and Public Works, will succeed to the vacancy in the War Department, involving some oth- CT cabinet changes.
 The immediate cause of General Reyes s resignation is said to have been articles appearing in La Protesta. newspaper which violently attacked Finance Minis tar IImantour and which articles were attributed to near relative of General Reyes, though this Is denlSd today by the person concerned At all events General Reyes felt 1t incumbent on him 10 tender his resignation and at prolonged cabi- net meeting held Monday night it was decided to accept the resignation of the War Minister.
 The attacks on Minister Limantour were such as to bring the authors of the articles within the purview of the law. General Reyes himself has maintained a consistent attitude in sustaining his po- litical friendship with Minister Liman- tour, but from motives of dellcacy, his relatives, name having been connected with newspaper criticisms of his cabinet associate, brought him to tender his res isnation which the President of the Re- public accepts in terms honorable to General Reyes.

grewsome sights of the Cuban cap
ital.
This famous pit was first dug by
Don Pedro Valdas in 1902. It is
10 feet square and 20 feet deep,
and an eight foot wall incloses it.
A man dies, is buried in a rented
grave, is forgotten in short time,
and the rent is unpaid for one year.
Then his bones are dug up and
thrown among his ancestors and
others ancestors in the mass of
dead humanity. The grave, being
open, is held to receive the next
body.
A careful estimate puts the num-
Der of human skeletons in the pit at
