AT an End.

IINARES, Mexico, Dec. 25.--With
none of his arrogance left, General
Bernardo Reyes, once considered the
greatest of his country's military men,
tonight is huddled in a chair In the
little room that serves as the head
quarters of the towns small garrison
and admits his defeat.
Riding alone into the town today,
the gray haired rebel voluntarily sur
rendered to L. T. Placldo Rodriguez,
commander of twenty rurales,
the sole military guard here. Per-
mission was secured TO telegraph a
formal capitulation to General Ge-
ronimo Trevino. commander of the
Third military zone at Monterey; and
to Trevino. long regarded as Reyes
personal foe, he frankly admitted that
his dream Of another successful revo-
luton had come to an end and sub.
hltted himself 10 Rodriguez.
No Response.
81 called upon the people" tele-
graphed the broken hearted hero.'
but they did not respond. l place
myself at your disposition"
Reyes asked for himself no guar
nntee, but pleaded for mercy for the
little group of men who have fol-
lowed him in his wanderings 10 and
fro throughout a large area In this
state and In the state of Tamulipas
lie requested consideration for them
They yet are fugitives and will be
hunted down by Trevino's men unless
they, too. surrender voluntarily.
To Reyes message, Treviuo replied
that General Reeves would be kept
under guard in Lnars pending in
structions from the central govern
ment.
Taken to Capital.
That he will be taken to the capital
to answer for his offenses is consid-
cred by Reyistas the natural result
OF his surrender.
His attempt to save his few follow
ers was refused by Trevino, who tel
egraphed to Reyes that he had no
authority to relax his campaign.
No one was more surprised by the
surrender of Reyes than the little gar.
rison to whom he surrendered.
Realized His Position.
Yesterday Luis Salinas commander
of a small band OF volunteers engaged
in tho chase, surprised group of not
more than ten or twelve men riding
along the Concho river running east
from Burgess. Only few miles from
the scene of the fight was Reyes. The
engagement was too brief to report
other than that he had met the Rey-
istas. Like rabbits the rebels fled
IN all directions Two or three horses
and quantity OF ammunition fell
into the hands of the governm ent
troops, but no one was killed. 1t APP
pears the insignificant band never re-
united and that General Reyes, hui
initiated at seeing what was in effect
his personal guard forced to flee at
the first exchange of shots, and realiz-
ing that none had rushed to his sup
port. rode to Linares and surrendered.
Placed on Honor.
REYES was not surrounded and
might have kept up flight for many
days. but without the army he had
SO confidently expected Ia recruit. the
humillating finish was almost inevi-
table.
Later. on the order Of General Tre-
vino. Reyes was placed on his word
of honor and granted the freedom OF
the city.
Peace Is at Hand.
MONTERREY, Mexico. Dec. 25.-
General Geronimo Trevino. whose
campaign against Bernardo Reyes and
his followers ended In the surrender
at Linares, instead of waiting for the
last chapter OF Mexico's story. believes
the period of unrest has been broken.
II believe there Is no doubt" he
said. that real peace is at hand. The
minor uprisings Will be suppressed
with comparative ease and the Reyes
revolution is finished. The failure OF
REYES will be something that will
serve to deter anyone else from at
tempting to initiate him"
Awaiting Instructions.
General Trevino is waiting for In
structlons from Mexico City before
ordering Reyes removed from Linares
The general was inclined to regard
Reyes surrender on this day as bit
diverting. referring to 1t as my
Christmas present"
: II is reported that Reyes is prac-
tically bankrupt from his efforts
TO overthrow the central government
1t IL reported that he used a great
deal OF his own money in the belief
that he would have little difficulty
