Diaz's Nephew May Lead Revolution.
New Orleans, La, June 7.-Another
revolution in Mexico with Governor
Felix Diaz of the state Of Oaxies, a
nephew of the recently deposed ruler
as it's promoter and ruling spirit, is
said to be taking shape, according to
a private letter received in this city
yesterday by one of the most promi-
nent Mexicans in the local colony, a
man who during the administration
Of General Porfirio Diaz held many
important positions in the republic.
"The governor is one of the most
powerful factors in the SOUTH" says
the letter, "and he has about 10000
men who are armed and equipped, in
Guiding several rapid firing guns. In
the mountainous country, his follow
ing is very great, and there are strong
reasons for the belief that when the
proper time arrives he will receive
strong support among official interests
opposed to Madero.

a few years the most powerful geyser

In 1903 and 1904 created such anxiety
In the north island Of New Zealand
that an Auckland paper, attributing
It's activity to the great increase In
the size Of the adjacent Lake Rotoma.
hama, proposed that the lake should
be drained In order to allow the freer
outlet from the hot springs Of the To-
callty. No action was taken and the
danger was removed by the bursting
Of the lake dam. The water Of Lake
Rotomahana was discharged to Lake
Rotorua, and Waimangu ceased its
eruptions. 1t will be interesting to
learn from the New Zealand geolo-

rift Is connected with the cessation
of Waimangu.-Nature. .-.
