Vera cruz, May S1.-General Porfi-
rio Diaz sailed from this port tonight
on the steamer Ypiranga for Havrs,
France. The steamer goes by way of
Havana and General Diaz's ultimate
destination is Spain.
His ship was only a little way out
when the searchlight of the fortress
guarding the port was turned on it.
With glasses in hand, among a small
party in the stern. Diaz was standing,
somewhat apart, close to the rail. He
was plainly dlscernible. taking his
farewell look at his native land.
His last words, spoken to those he
had left on shore were:
Il shall die in Mexico"
This was uttered in a tone of
prophecy and with look of inspired
conviction.
Throughout his administration Vera
cruz had nothing but Kisses at the
mention of Diaz name. Today Vera
cruz gave only cheers.
II was o'clock when Diaz and the
members of his party went aboard the
Yriranga. Contrary to popular expec-
tation, the journey from the house
where he had been quartered was
made in carriages through the streets
of thes city. Diaz was tired of the
attempts to avoid the people.
