Mexico City. December 2S--Gen. Ser nardo Reyes was lodged tonight in San tiago military prison. At the same sta- ton where Francisco ]. Madero received the greatest ovation perhaps ever given Mexican when he arrived here at the conclusion of his successful revolution, a hand full of curious person and a sprink- ling of the better element gathered to stare at the man who had planned to tear Madero ffrom the presidential chair.
 Their curiosity was not gratfied. Gen.. Reyes car had been dropped far out of the freight yards, and from it he had been taken by Col. Manual Gargia Lugo who brought him from Linares to the military prison. acting upon order of the department of war.
 This was in conformity with the gen eral plan of secrecy followed throughout the trip from Linares. Gen. Reyes was joined in San Luis Potisi by his son Bernardo, Jr., and Alfonson, who had spent the night in pail there. They went to San Luis Potisi to meet their father and were arrested as suspects. By order of the governor they were re- leased.
 The personnel of the courtmartial which will try Reyes in part was of fcially announced today as follows:
 Generals Jose Maria Mier, Jose Mara de la Vega and Lauro Villar. r To make these officers eligible they were raised by official act by the min- ister of war from brigadiers to gen o1e nF frfa Tn n1 Francisco Avalez was designated as agent of the 'ministerio publico" to sit with the others.
 General Mier was governor of Nuevo Leon, over which Reyes himself pre- sided previously in the same capacity until busted by the Madero revolu- tion.
 General Vega was chief of marine affairs in the department of war and marine and later successively military commander in Quintana Roo. Chihua- hua, Monterey and Leonad.
 General Villar is military command ant at Vera Cruz.
 The indignation which the surren- der of General Reyes has inspired in the minds of his erstwhile co-revolu- tionists in the United States found vent today in a telegram filed by Jose Peon Del Valle in behalf of Myself and friends to Fl Heraldo Mexicano, from New Orleans.
 We protest with indignation before the Mexican republic against the un- qualifiable conduct of General Reyes in surrendering for the reason that he declared to us that he would die be- fore he would give himself up," the message read.
 q Peon Del Valle was one of Reyes stanehest supporters. When the latter decided to break his agreement with Madero to refrain from becoming candidate for the presidency, but to accept the portfolio of war in the Ma dero cabinet, Peon Del Valle launched the Reyes presidential campaign. With in a week after Reyes spectacular flight from Mexico Peon Del ValIe left for San Antonio, where he joined his chief and where he has since been his close companion and one of his chief counsellors.
