members of the party and intimate
friends.
Life in the temporary home OF General
Diaz was not altogether rest. Both he
and his son were busy to-day answer
ing correspondents who used the tele-
graph and cable TO express regret and
good wishes. Three hundred or more
messages were received. and nearly half
of these came from abroad. a reply was
sent to all, the general himself insisting
on wording them in many cases.
Great masses of flowers, whose odor
was waited from ship TO shore, were
piled in the Diaz quarters.
Farewell Warning to Mexico.
General Diaz delivered a warning to
his country. Speaking to the little group
Of soldiers who had served as a guard
on his trip from the capital to the port
the OLD man who has governed Mexico
for more than thirty years by military
strength declared that the present gov
eminent must yet resort to his methods
If peace is TO be re-established.
Wearing the same uniforms they had
on when they served as the generals
guard, the soldiers drew up in front Of
the home of ]. B. Body where the ex-
President has been living since his ar
rival in Vera Cruz. There were one de-
tachment Of the 18th Infantry and a
detachment Of Zapadores, one of the
crack regiments of the country Both
were under command of General Vic
toriano Huerta, an old and warm per-
sonal friend OF General Diaz.
Had Defended Diaz's Life.
It was not a display such as would be
arranged for an inspection. Some Of the
raen wore sandals. some shoes and none
would have gained praise for neatness.
They were all men who had done fighting
They were the same men who had de-
Tended the life OF the eX-President and
his family when rebels attacked the spe-
cial train coming 10 Vera Cruz. Four Of
their number We're killed in that affair
near the little village Of Tepeyahualco.
General Diaz learned this morning that
his men wished to say goodby. There
was someQormality, but this feature was
lost sight of later in view of the intimacy
Of farewell. The men stood facing the
veranda Of the barnlike wooden house,
which is down in the terminal yards.
Eack of them stood a row Of freight
cars Noisy engines pulled about and
ships tied up at the wharves served rs a
reminder of why the ex-President was
here. on the veranda a small detach-
ment Of The Presidential guards was
lined up
Friends Of his in this city and one or
two from the capital came out of the
house with him. His son Colonel Par
frio Diaz. ir.. was not present. Like the
women members of the party, including
Sonora Diaz he chose to remain IN his
room. Rarely has he appeared in pubic
of late. and never this forenoon, when
lis father was saying goodby, did he let
his face be seen.
When General Diaz stepped forward on
the yeranda there'was buzz OF interest
but no applause. The moment was 100
solemn for an expression of that char
acter, and even the little group of poems
massed behind the soldiers repressed
their feelings until the speechmakins
and embracings had ended. Even then
their applause was brief.
General Diaz, his face showing almost
no sign Of his recent illness, was dressed
in an ordinary sack suit Of black He
carried a Panama hat in his hand. The
ONLY touch Of color about his attire was
q lavender four-in-hand necktie.
