CEN. BERNARDO REYES
SAYS He IS FOR PEACE

to effect our evolution IN favor Of a
true democracy.
In the present dispute there have
been many unfavorab1e events, but ]
observe with satisfaction that the ma
tional army, although considered de-
ficient in force, has remained firm in
its post of honor and that the con-
duct of the various divisions of the
revolutionists has been correct. This.
together with a good sense OF patriot
ism to be shown in the agreements for
peace to which 1 have referred, con-
vinces me that if the political ques-
tions are well handled the peace which
1 so earnestly desire will become a
fact
referring to myself, 1 do not know
whether my personality will figure at
all in the events now in the process
of development with startling rapidity
in my country, but should l be called
on I will give my utmost efforts to
advance the ideas 1 have just ex-
pressed, and which represent by sin
cerest convictions.
'.AlOng the path I have indicated
everything may be done by our be-
loved country and for her, for she lives
and ever will live devoted to uphold
ing the principles Of true democracy"
Gen. Reyes said the interruption in
his journey was the result of orders
to remain in Havana, which he re-
ceived from the minister of war He
said he did not know how long he
would remain here on account of his
ignorance of the conditions which
made his detention in Cuba advisable
to the Mexican government. He
thought it was improbable that the
government would send a cruiser to
Havana to TRANSPORT him IN Vera
cruz.
Gen Reyes is reported to have told
the captain of the steamer Ypiranga,
while he was attending to the landing
Of his personal effects last night, that
the news from Mexico convinced him
that it would be unsafe to attempt
to reach Mexico City at this time.

Of war, has arrived here from Europe

declaration to the Associated Press

peace, which can be secured only by
