GENERAL REYES ASKS FAVOR
Monterey, Mex, Dec. 26-General
Reyes sent to General Trevino today
a request for trial in some place other
than Monterey, the city from which he
ruled Nuevo Leon as governor for
many years. 1t is the only favor the
fallen rebel has asked and it is
believed here that it is not improbable
the central government to which his
petition has been referred, will grant
it. Embarrassment rather than fear is
said to be General Reyes motive in
making the request.
THE REYES REVOLUTION.
Mexico, Mexico. Dec. 26.- "A few
months prior to the outbreak of the
Madero revolution, there were rumors
of a threatened outbreak against
Diaz in favor of Reyes. Diaz then
sent Reyes to Europe, ostensibly to
study military organizations there.
President Diaz recalled him when
the Madero revolution became serious,
but before Reyes reached Mexico,
Diaz had been forced to resign. Reyes
then aligned himself with Madero, and
agreed to accept the portfolio of war
in the latters' cabinet when it should
be formed. Later he decided to run
for the presidency himself, and Ma
dero released him from his acceptance
of the cabinet place. The election,
held on October Is, resulted in the
overwhelming election of Madero.
Partisans of Reyes attempted to
have Congress nullify the election
and failed. Reyes then left Mexico,
going from Vera Cruz to Havana,
thence to New Orleans, and finally
making headquarters at San Antonio.
He gave as his reason for leaving
Mexico that he was prosecuted there,
and had no guarantees of his safety
Shortly after his arrival in San An.
tonic, it was rumored that he was
organizing revolution and a number
of persons charged with transporting
arms across the border in violation

leased on SIC, 900 bail, the indictment
alleging violation of the neutrality
