BROKEN GENERAL CRIES FOR
MERCY TO HIS MEN
Latest Revolution in Mexico Peters

Mexico City, Dec. 26-The end o
the week Will probably see Genera
Bernardo Reyes, who surrendered las
night TO the Mexican authorities, oc
cupylng cell in the penitentiary o1
the federal district in that portion SET
apart for political prisoners
Laredo, Tex, Dec. 2G-General
Bernardo Reyes has been captured
near Llnares Mexico, and is now a
government prisoner. The above is
the information contained in a tele-
gram from General Geronimo Trc-
vino, CHIEF OF the southern military
zone, Monterey, addressed to a prom
inent citizen Of this city. According
to General Trevino's telegram bat
tie occurred in Linares in which the
Reyes forces were defeated and the
general himself surrendered. With
none Of his arrogance left, General
Bernardo Reyes once considered the
greatest of his country's military men.
Monday night is huddled in a chair in
the little room that serves as the
headquarters Of the towns small gar
rison, and admits his defeat,
Riding alone into the town. Mon
Day the gray haired rebel voluntarily
surrenderedo to Lieutenant Placid
Roderiguez, commander Of twenty
five rurales, then the sole military
guard, procured permission to secure
a formal capitu1ation to General Tre-
vino, commander OF the Third mill
tary zone at Monterey; and to Ire
vino, long regarded as Reyes per-
sonal foe, he frankly, admitted that |
his dream OF another successful rev
olution has come to an end, and plac
ed himself at his disposition.
II called upon the army, I called !
upon the people, telegraphed the
broken general, 'and no one re-
sponded. This attitude ] regard as
a protest, and | am resolved not to
continue this war against the govern
ment place myself at your dispo-
sition."
Reyes asked for himself no guaran
tees, but pleaded for mercy for the
little group of men who have followed
him in his wanderings to and fro
throughout large area in this state
and in the state of Tamaulpas, He
requested consideration for them,
they yet are fugitives and will he
hunted down by Treyino's men unless
they too, surrender voluntarily
To Reyes message, Trevino replied
that General Reyes would be kept un-
der guard in Linares pending instruc-
tions from the central government.
That he will be token to the cap
ltal to answer for his offense is con
sidered by Revestas the natural re-
suits of his surrender S
His attempt to save his few fol-
lowers was refused by Trevino. who

conflict was too brief to enable the
commander to report it except that
he met the Reyestas. Like rabbits
the rebels fled in ali directions Two
or three horses and quantity OF
ammunition fell into the hands of the
government troops. but no one was
killed. II appears the insurgent band
never reunited and that General
Reyes hnmiliated at seeing what was
in effect his personal guard forcei
to flee at the first exchange of shots
and realizing that none had rushed
to his support, rode to Linares and
