MEXICO CITY, June 3-Maria Ocam-
po. an Oaxaca Indian woman. thrty-five
years of age. who was in the service of
Nine. Porf1rio Diaz for nine years. de-
clares that Sonora Diaz guided the fall
tering hand of the president to write his
resignation. and then took the message
from the reluctant hand of the old man
and sent 1t herself to the chamber of
deputies for action on the evening of
May %. The servant declares that Sc
nora .Diaz forced her husband to flee the
city at o'clock in the morning, through
fear that he would be assassinated.
President Diaz protested at his wife's
actions and used every argument possible,
but finally was overcome by his wife S
pleas, and he and the family fled The
Ocampo woman said:
ITO his family Diaz always said
that he would never resign and that
he would be driven to it. but would
stay and fight it out, and. il need be,
die fighting, but my mistress argued
night and day with him and told him
that his life was worth more to her
than to the ungratefu1 Mexicans or
to a country inhabited by such people.
"His resignation had been made out
for more than a month by Diaz's at
torney and on the afternoon or May
%, about o'clock, Sonora DfaZ took
the paper to Diaz, who was seated In
front of a mahogany library table in
the library Of his home on Old Cadena
street. this city. with his head buried
in his hands and the tears cOursing
down his cheeks.

Protested at First.

IT had been helping Luz Noriega, an
other maid, dress madame, and stood
just behind the heavy curtains lead
ing to the main living room next to
the library. The heavy clock in the
hall struck three as madame put her
arm around Diazs head and began
reading the resignation to him. No,
no. he said. I will not sign that Then
madame argued in a low voice. ca
ressing him soothingly, and finally
took his hand. in which she placed a
pen and started to guide it over the
paper at the bottom of the resignation.
Diaz jerked his hand away. and.
springing to his feet. his eyes blaz-
ing, said:
I will not sign this. I will stay here
In my own country and care for It,
Mime. Diaz soothed him and ther
rang the bell. I answered before any OF
the other servants got there. Il then
brought a fresh piece Of paper, and then
his wife led the old man, trembling with
mixed anger, grief and regret, back to hi:
chair, took his right hand with the pen
and guided it as he rewrote the entire
resignation and signed 1t. No attention
was paid to me and stood watching ant
listening. When 1t was signed madame
reached for it with one hand and with the
other rang a bell for q messenger. She
knew that at that moment the chamber
Of deputies was in session and that there
was terrible turmoil demanding hel

Thrust Paper in Pocket.

"Diaz thrust the paper in his pocke,
and refused to hand 1t over to his wife
and brushed her to one side. The original
resignation drawn up by the lawyer lay
on the floor, and it was afterward burned
up and never used.
There were tears on the face of mad
anne as she begged Diaz to give her the
resignation, or at least send 1t at once.
so as to avert massacres and riots. She
argued for more than twenty minutes,
and then Diaz tore the crumpled paper
saying:
There, do with 1t what you please.
and threw himself on a couch, sobbing as
II his heart would break.
Madame rang the bell and called the
military messenger, and by him sent the
resignation to the chamber of deputies.
THAT night the mobs rioted here, and
I understood more than sixty were killed.
That night madame started to argue to
fee the city.
AT first Diaz was unmoved and de-
clared that he was going to his native
state of Oaxaca; then, about midnight,
suddenly drawing his wife and son into
his arms, the old man said:
For your sakes and for your happi-
ness will go. but God bears witness
that do not wish to go. Mexico has been
in my charge and care for thirty years,
your anguish l will CO.
Messengers were sent Immediately to
the railroad, where special train was
ordered. and many trunks packed and
others hastily thrown together.
Dfaz's agent was awakened at his
house and given charge of the Diaz
home. and at 3 o'clock in the morning
the trunks left, after the military
guards had arranged for the train.
Left Early In Morning.
"At $3.50 o'clock the morning of May
26 the family left in two automobiles
and secretly passed down the different
back streets. while from Zoala still
rang the shouts Of the mob, mad for
Madero. The servants were told to
call at the agents office for their
money. and all received large gifts of
money in addition to their wages. None
went to the depot except the driver of
the presidential automobile and one
guard. who sat with the chauffeur.
1.-The president, his wife and daugh-
ter went one way to the depot. while
Porf1rio Diaz, jr., his wife and chill
dren in another. and were Joined along
the way by automobiles carrying
friends. none of whom went father
than the depot
"Diaz seemed completely broken with
grief, which was written all over his
face. while Nine. Diaz alone appeared
contented. The son seemed glad to
get out of the country, where he had
been hated for being the son of his
father, now without influence.
THE family believed that Diaz would
have stayed and fought out the battle
at any cost.
.All the servants loved Diaz and his
wife. and believed in him, and we are
still burning candles before the shrine
of Guadaloupe. praying that he will
return"
