The return of General Reyes TO
Mexico makes 1t necessary for the in
surrectos to insist that President DIaz
shall give the rebels stronger guaran-
tees of security and liberty than nth

tho order which brings hack to our
country one who cannot further peace
negotiations. but in whom there les
elements of danger to those nesotia-

brings General Reyes to Mexico is
hound to arouse questions as to the
sincerity of the President in the pres
ent circumstances.
From a military standpoint we do
not fear General Reyes, either on tho

his prestige
