Reyes is Loyal to Diaz.
Paris, France. Gen. Bernardo
Reyes, the Mexican soldier who came
to Paris some time ago OH a IniiitaT,
mission for the Mexican government
denied the report that he intends tc
return to Mexico to take hand in the
revolution.
To representative of the Asso
ciated Press General Reyes expressed
the opinion that President Diaz. whom
he described as a great patriot
would succeed in restoring order ant
afterward adopt effective measure!
for allaying the present popular dis
content in Mexico. General Reye'
declined to go into details regardfn:
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 sci
ious and would not last long.
OF Francisco MADEIRA, leader of tn
revolutionists in Mexico, Genera
Reyes said:
'Madero lacks in experience. H
has had no public career which woul
| make him formidable. Should som
man with greater prestige and a POI
ular following, and especially
man of influence with the army, az
| pear behind him, the situation Nigh
| possibly become grave"
General Reyes said the present tro,
| Bile in Mexico would not alter hi
| plans. He expected to remain her
| long enough to complete the missio
with which he is charged. Pointin
| to document on his desk, he said
THE most important matter wit
1 which have to deal has just come b.
| fore me. Reports that / intend to il
tervene in the trouble are baseless.
/ left Mexico year ago for the expires
purpose of preventing my name bein
1 used as a slogan for revolution"
Jose Limantour, Mexican ministe
of finance, also is in Paris. He sal
the situation in Mexico is in no sens
serious. Local agitations. he sait
have been magnified by Texas frontie
reports into a general revMutionar
movement. Madero, he said, who j
wealthy son of a former governc
Z of the state of Coahuila, is vel
meaning but deluded Socialistic do
Il tr;,sist., who imaggines that by tn
spirit of Benito Juarez to regenerat
4 the Mexican Democracy.
Reports to Mexican banks and con
mercial houses here agree that til
disturbances in Mexico are of an Il
significant character, and declare tn;
order has been restored.
