CAUSED DECIDED SENSATION.
Resignation of Mexican War Ministe
Creates Much Comment.

Mexico City, Dec 24.-The resignation
of General Bernandero Reyes, who since
January 1, 1900, has held the post of min
lister of war, has caused decided sensa-
ton in political circles. He has made an
excellent record in this office. and has
built up slowly a great reservist army
which is an auxiliary to the regular
forces. His administration has been
praised on ali sides and in his retire
ment from the cabinet he carries with him
the general good will of his ministerial
associates 1t is reported that General
Reyes will again become governor of the
important stae of Neuvo Leon, whose cap
i;al is the city of Monterey. 1t is probable
that General Francisco Mena. present
minister of communications and public
works, will succeed TO the vacancy in the
war department, involving some other
cabinet changes. The immediate cause
of General Reyes resignation is said to
have been articles appearing in La Pro-
tesla, a newspaper which violently at
tackled Finance Minister Limantour, and
which articles We're attributed to a near
relative 10 General Reyes. though this is
denied today by the person concerned
Al all events, General Reyes felt II IN
oumbent on him TO tender his resignation
The attack on Minister LimantOur was
such as to bring the authors of the article
within the purview of the law. General
Eeyes himself has maintained a consist
Cnt attitude. in sustaining his political
friendship with Minister Limantour. but
notives of deiicacy. his relatives name
having been connected with newspaper
criticisms of his cabinet associate,
brought him TO tender his resignation.

President Diax and General Reyes rela-
tive to the resignation of the latter as
minister of war were published tonight.
The 22d ms. Reyes sent in his resigna-
ton through the state department. He
says that as his name has been used in

Received As Private Citizens
 By. President Roosevelt.
CANNOT IMTERFERE
The Principal Object of the Delegates Was to Induce the United States to Do Something to Terminate the Struggle in South Africa.

Washington, March 5.-Wolmarans and Vessels, the Boer representatives, were received hy Secretary Hay at o'clock this afternoe,f. It was dis tjuctlv understood that the B0ers were received as private citizens. Mir. Hay talked freely on this understanding. The principal object of the delegates was to induce the United States to do something to terminate the struggle fin South Africa, astheugh they were not spe cific as 10 what was wanted
 Secretary Hay heard them asten- lively, but recommended that they see Mir. Roosevelt and ascertain his views. This hey agreed to do, and later irthe day, accompanied by Dr. Frederick Mueller, of the Orange Free State, they called at the White House and were received by the president in the library and remained about l5 minutes. They called as private citizens and not m the official capacityas Boer representatives. The president listened at,entively to
 what they had to say and then in formed them that the United States cannot and will not interfere in the struggle. A matter of complaint by'tLe dele gates was the shipment of horses, mules and provisions from the United States for the British forces in South Africtf. Secretary Hay went over the subject very carefully: citing authorities and precedents, by which he pointed out conclusively an established lack O1 authority on the part of the general government to stop the American from shipping his provisions, and the stock raiser from selling his produce anywhere in. the world where they could get the best prices He alsc pointed. out that the government's atl litude in' this aud other matters con nected with the South African war had been strictly neutral, and that the gov ernment had done nothing to proven, ! the shipment of commodities to the Beers.
