REYES EXPECTED TO RETURN

According to prominent members of
the Mexican revolutionary movement,
now in Los Angeles, the announce
ment sent out from Mexico City yes
terday that Vice President Corral
probably will resign because of 'ill
health" is significant. Corral, they
say, more than any other one man,
is responsible for the headway gained
by the Madero revolutionists.
At the office of Regeneration" the
Mexican Liberal paper published in
East Fifth street in this city, MEM
bers OF the editorial force said yester-
day that it looked very, much as though
Diaz mad decided to offer up Corral
as a sacrifice in the hope of thus ap-
peasing the popular wrath. Further,
they expressed the opinion that TINS
move would not serve its purpose ana
that the revolution would go on.
Antonio l. Villarreal, secretary OF
the Liberal party's organizing board,
said yesterday that he regarded the
vice presidents "illness' as the most
hopefully significant development of
the struggle to date. With this opinion
Ricardo Flores Magon, president, ana
Prof. Iibrado Rivera agreed fully.
Senior Villarreal believes the reVolu-
tionists will prevail and that Diaz will
be deposed. He says that while the
revolution was instigated by Francisco
1. Madero and his following, members
of the anti-re-election party, many or
the Liberals are actively engaged on
Madero,s side, not because they want
to see him in power, but because they
wish to overthrow the present govern
ment
CHANCE OF REYES RETURN
"In my opinion" said Senior Villar-
real. "Diaz's best chance for success
would come through his Summonlng
General Reyes home from Paris and
making him vice president in CorraI
stead. Liberals generally would re-
gard this as a great calamity, LOT
reeves is a military butcher. Before
he went abroad, however, he had
very considerable following, especially
in the army, Since then these men
have drifted into other parties. but
how many of them would again sup
port Reyes in the event OF his return
no one can say.

gerous man than Diaz because of his
youth and his popularity with the

con and after that was secretary OF
war. of course he owed both positions
to Diaz. No one except Diaz and ms
official clique wanted Corral tor wee

ment candidate. He didn't dare to DO
it. however but went abroad instead
and has been in Paris since last June
The election so-called was held the
second Sunday in July.
''Franciso I. Madero is the gu1dlng
spirit of the revolution. Madero is a
very wealthy man and I believe he is
financing the movement. I do not De-
1ieve that Standard Oil has had any
thing to do with it. The revolution
was we'll organized all over the coun-
trv. but Diaz discovered what was
going on. The rising was planned for
November 20, and on November 1S he
sent word to the governors OF all
states and provinces to arrest revolu-
tionarv suspects and search their
houses.
RIFLES FOUND IN RESIDENCE
"Acting under this order the home
of AouiIes Cerdan in Puebla was en-
tered and 200 rifles hidden there were
confiscated. Cerdan's wife and several
other women were killed in the house.
He killed a policeman and escaped
for a time, but was subsequently
found and shot At Tlaxcala and other
places women were killed also. The
Mexican women are taking proml-
nent mart in the revolutionary move
ment, and government police or SOL
diers do not hesitate to shoot them
down on the smallest provocation.
Cerdan's wife was the first victim or
the revolution. Her husband soon
followed her.
Revolutionary leaders all over the
country were arrested or killed and
this prevented the concerted move
ment on November 20 which Madero
had planned. 1t gave Diaz the first
advantage, but I believe the revolu-
+ion will gain headway notwithstand-
ing and I think the chances are more
than even that it will succeed.
"About Madero personally we know
nothing. We do not even know wheth-
