One OF the biggest feats in those
days was the running down Of the

duties are so arranged as to keep out

Gen. REYES HAS

ARMY AND THE PEOPLE
SURRENoERs.
INCOME CAME" SAYS
ADMITS HIS DREAM OF A sue
cESSFUL REVOLUTION
is ENDED.
western Newspaper Union New. Service


L!nares, Mexico.-Defeated and
stripped of former arrogance and
pride. Gen. Bernardo Reyes. Mexico
one-time greatest military leader and
more recently leader of revolt that
threatened to tear the country from
border to border. surrendered here
but later was given his liberty
on his word that he would not leave
the city.
He surrendered today officially to
Gen. Trevino, personal enemy for
years.
Riding alone into Linares the
gray-haired rebel gave himself up
to Lieut.. Placido Rodriguez, COM
mander of twenty-five rurales, the
sole military guard here. Permission
was obtained to telegraph formal
capitulation to Gen. Trevino, COM
mander of the third military zone at
Monterey. He frankly admitted that
his dream of another successful revo-
luton had come to an end and placed
himself at Trevino's disposal.
II called upon the army, / called
upon the people," telegraphed the
broken general, land no one respond
ed. This attitude I regard as pro.
test and am resolved not to continue
this war against the government. l
place myself at your disposition"
Reyes asked no guarantee for MIN
self but pleaded for mercy for the lit
tie group of men who have followed
him in his wanderings to and fro
throughout large area in this state
and in the state of Tamaulipas. He
requested consideration for them.
They are yet fugitives and will be
hunted down by Trevino's men unless
they. too. surrender voluntarily.
That he will be taken to the capital
to answer for his offense is considered
by Reyistas the natural result of his
surrender.
Reyes attempt to save his few fol-
lowers was baked by Trevino, who
telegraphed to Reyes that he had no
authority to relax his campaign.
