Not only is the sheik himself glad

we imagine how the river would ever

great spiritual truth. Is in full accord

Revelation pictures this river as

the same picture in mind; he tells Of
the same trees, whose leaf shall not

which will bring forth good fruit every
month, because the water which re-
freshes them comes from the Sane

" for His Father.

Havana.-Porfirio Diaz, the exile
from Mexico, arrived here at s
o'clock Saturday afternoon, and left
Sunday morning for his future home
in Europe with his mouth sealed.
There is no word of rancor against
the ingratitude of his people which
drove him forth, no criticism Of his
enemies now triumphant in Mexico
City will he utter. Just one word
concerning his future purposes has
Diaz allowed to escape his lips. He
will never return to Mexico unless
his country be threatened by foreign
aggression. No internal upheaval,
however severe, will draw him back.
my duty is DONE, were the words
used by the ex-President. II am
private citizen. MY own affairs I
will not discuss, because they are my
own affairs. OF Mexico / will not
talk because I might bring embar-
rassment to myself or to the govern
ment. There is nothing to say about
what is past" One thought more
the aged ex-President allowed his
son, Col. Porfirio Diaz, Jr., to give
expression for him. Colonel Diaz
said:
MY father is deeply sensible of
the wisdom and restraint shown by
President Taft in the attitude of
America toward Mexico during the
recent crisis. He believes true
friendship was demonstrated thereby
and all Mexicans appreciate and have
q deep sense of gratitude
Colonel Diaz when asked If his
father wished this statement made
public answered that such was his
fathers desire.
He believed that some expression
OF appreciation was due to the
American government as a last word
from him.
