Reyes is Loyal to Diaz.
Paris, France. - Gen. Bernardo
Reyes, the Mexican soldier who cine
to Paris some time ago on a military
mission for the Mexican government,
denied the report that he intends to
return to Mexico to take a hand in the
revolution.
To a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press General Reyes expressed
the opinion that President Diaz, whom
he described as great patriot,
would succeed in restoring order and
afterward adopt effective measures
for allaying the present popular dis
content in Mexico. General Reyes
declined to go into details regarding
the causes which led up to the pres
ent condition of affairs in his country,
but expressed the belief that the un-
rest could not be considered as ser
ious and would not last long.
Of Francisco MADEIRA, leader of the
revolutionists in Mexico, General
Reyes said:
"Madero lacks in experience. He
has had no public career which would
make him formidable Should some
man with greater prestige and pop
ular following, and especially a
man of influence with the army, ap-
pear behind him, the situation might
possibly become grave"
General Reyes said the present trou-
bic in Mexico would not alter his
plans. He expected to remain here
long enough to complete the mission
with which he is charged. Pointing
to a document On his desk, he said:
"The most important matter with
which have to deal has just come be-
fore me. Reports that intend to in
tervene in the trouble are baseless. I
left Mexico year ago for the express
purpose of preventing my name being
used as slogan for revolution"
Jose Limantour, Mexican minister
of finance, also is in Paris. He said
the situation in Mexico is in no sense
serious. Local agitations. he said,
have been magnified by Texas frontier
reports into general revolutionary
movement. Madero, he said, who is
a wealthy son of former governor
of the state of Coahuila, is we'll
meaning but deluded Socialistic doc
trinist, who imagines that by the
spirit of Benito Juarez to regenerate
the Mexican Democracy.
Reports to Mexican banks and COM
mercial houses here agree that the
disturbances in Mexico are of an in.
significant character, and declare that
order has been restored.
