DIAZ RUNS AWAY.

firio Diaz, after three decades of power, to have
been virtually kicked out of his countrys cap
ital and be forced to steal away In the shadow

nate weakness OF his hold upon the affections
OF his countrymen had been little suspected up
to few months ago. but IL seems to be
true that his power based upon the devo-
tion Of the office holding fraternity alone, which,
