ASSOCIATED Press)

MEXICO CITY, Dec. president
Porfirio Diaz tonight issued to the AS
ISOLATED Press the following message
addressed to all nations, on the occa-
sion of his Inauguration for the eighth
time as chief executive of MeXico:
1T is very gratifying to me to say
that my heart is full of faith in the
progress of a people which, like the
Mexican, has known how to conquer
by It's own efforts a place among the
lovers of toll after having proved it's
valor in war in patriotic defense Of
country.
Il am also glad today more than
ever l can declare that Mexico belongs
definitely to the group of nations of
assured stability because against the
firm guarantee of peace which we pos
sess no influence tending toward its
dissolution can now or ever prevail.
LAS to the relations between Mexico
and the United States and other
friendly nations, never have they been
more cordial, as was indicated in
convincing manner during the celebra-
ton of the centennial of MeXico's in
dependence"
Peaceably, the ceremonies attending
the taking of oath of fealty by Diaz
and Ramon Corral, recently reelected
president and vice president, respect
lively, were held today. There was no
discordant note and If the occasion
was shorn of some of the brilliant
features of former years by reason Of
recent revolutionary disturbances,
there was no lack of dignitied cere-
monial
GLAD WHEN IT'S OVER
Notwithstanding a realization on the
part Of everyone that the possibility
of any attempt by foes of the Diaz
administration to interfere with to-
days inauguration was remote, there
was a feeling of relief apparent among
the people at large, doubtless shared
by those in authority, when the event
was concluded.
There will be no change in the per-
sonnel of the cabinet. In accordance
with custom each of the ministers sub
mitted his resignation to the chief
executive through the minister of for
eign relations. Each was asked, how
ever, to retain his portfolio.
Following is the cabinet as reap
pointed:
Minister of foreign relatlons-hh-
rique G. Creel.
Minister of justice-Justino Fernan-
dez.
Minister Of public instructions-Justo
Sierra.
Minister of fomento-Olegario Mo-
lima.
lie works-Leandro Fernandez.
Minister of war and marine-Gen.
Manuel Gonzales Cosio.
The inauguration and ceremonies oc-
Cured in the temporary quarters OF
the chamber of deputies in the palace.
The hall was undecorated, plain ana
austere, the only emblem visible being
a bronze coat Of arms suspended OH
the wall back of the speakers table.
AIoocr fba ei5ac Of the hall were
seated the senators and deputies. AT
the rear sat few specially invited
guests and above those In balcony
were the diplomatic representatives.
CEREMONIES ARE BRIEF
The ceremonies consumed less than
fifteen minutes. AS each took the oath
and was proclaimed in Office the room
rang with handclapping and "Vivas.'
The presidential party and diplo-
mats were driven Immediately TO the
national palace by the same route as
was traversed in coming, accompanied
nv the staff of mounted officers of the
presidential guard. The streets We're
lined with people, who saluted with
hand-clapping as the distinguished
persons passed. Flag and bunting dec
orations gave the city holiday ap-
pearance.
At the palace President Diaz re-
ceived the congratulations or deputa-
tions. from various branches of the
Governments. A few minutes later he
received the diplomats in his private
chambers. Ambassador Henry Lane
Wilson, as dean of the corps, made a
formal address, which was responded
to by the president.
