New Orleans. oct j,--Gcnoral Ber-
nado Reyes, for years the idol Of the
Mexican army long "a political leader
of that republic, and recently a ear
didate for the presidency against
Francisco !, Madero, Jr., gave em-
phauc denial tonight to the pubica-
tIons connecting him with the organ-
lzation Of new revolution in Mex
leo. General Reyes arrived here this
afternoon from Havana and will leave
tomorrow for san Antonio, Tex.
where he probably will establish a
home for himself and family.
In a statement given to the Asso-
ciated Press, General Reyes admits
he viii contiue to manifest an active
Interest in the political affairs Of
Mexico but brands as absurd the stor-
les that he would head revolutions
list party ana invade the republic.
with a manifestation, the former
leader OF Mexico declared he was
forced to flee the country on the eve
of the election because his life was
hourly endangered because of the
growing conditions of anarchy fos-
tered by the recent revolution.
THE people Of Mexico are greatly
disappointed in Madero" said Cen
eral Reyes. "The revolution was sue
cessful because Madero had solemnly
and impressively declared for free
elections, and because he had bitterly
arraigned the Cientifos. Now the
people see that he has failed in these
promises, for they were not given
a free election, and instead of de-
stroyng the Cientfos, he has Joined
hands with them.
mot only were the promises of free
elections nullifled by the action of
Madero in previously forcing him
self upon them as well as the other
Madoristas, but in the future this will
give him absolute control of the par
ties in the republic"
The persecution Of their opponents
by followers Of Madero, he said. was
carried so far that men who sought
TO exercise the boasted freedom of
their country were shot down in the
streets
Even in the city Of Mexico, he
declared, people were imprisoned
solely because they gave their support
to the Reyesta party for the presi-
dency
After reciting the incidents Of Sun
day, September 3, when demonstra-
tion by a mob and several thousand
people and the general himself be-
ing stoned while addressing his ad-
hcrents from "A second story balcony,
he said the government failed to give
him adequate protection at any time.
Finally, he declared, because of the
utter inability Of the government to
guarantee to him and his followers
the protection Of their lives, he was
forced to withdraw from the cand-
dacy Of the presidency and flee the
country
MY future actions" said General
Reyes, "will depend largely upon poll
itical guarantees that are given by
the Madcro faction. If sufficient
guarantees are given me and my
friends, myself and friends will devote
ourselves actively and sincerely to the
upbuldng of Mexico and to the re-
establishment VI peace and respect
for the laws
Notwithstanding the persecution
heaped upon my friends and my fol-
lowers, the Reyostas today are stand
Ing soidly together and will continue
their fight along the same high moral
plane that has characterized the party
n the past"
This same clement representing
purity in politics and without any but
interests, will make for
peace and order in the republic"
General Reyes laughed at the story
from Mexico City telling
If the supposed shipment Of a cargo
f arms and ammunition from some
american port to Salina Cruz.
"Tho best evidence of the untruth-
ILLNESS Of that story" said the gem
raj, els that mo- such shipment will
.ver roach Salina Cruz or any other
,ort."
