|D|Az IS SICK

Enfeebled and Suffering Ex.
President Speaks of
Ingratitude
HIS FIRST FORMAL STATEMENT
In Impulse for Self Defense
He Justifies His Long
Administration.

| (By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Corunna, Spain, June 17-Physical-
| ly enfeebled and sicA at heart, Gener-
! al Porfrio Diaz, an exile from the Re.
public of which he was chief builder,
at last has yielded to an impulse of
self-defense.
In a formal statement he justified
his administration as president of
Mexico and reproached his country.
men for what he describes as their in.
gratitude.
The expression, the first of a per.
sonal nature since he was forced from
Office, was made on board the steamer
Ypiranga during the brief stop of the
vessel in this harbor last night. When
he was approached by newspaper rep
resentatives at first he asked to be
excused, pleading indisposition and
explaining, that though the trouble
some tooth had been extracted, he
still suffered from an abscess on the
lower jaw. However, after consulta-
ton with members of his party the
following statement was given to the
Frabra Agencia, the official press as.
sociation of Spain:
General DiaZ $ saddened by the
recent events in Mexico and the in.
gratitude of his countrymen. He vol.
unfairly sacrificed his ambition in the
hope of obtaining tranquility for the
nation, foreseeing that If he continued
to defend his cause he might afford
a pretext for Intervention.
THE bitterness and deep disap.
pointment which he felt was mitigat-
ed by the warmth of manifestation of
sympathy on his departure from Vera
Cruz.
Much has been said about a mill
tary dictatorship, but can one thus de.
fine a regime which rested ON an
army reduced to $4,000 men.
General Diaz, when he assumed
power, had to deal with conditions re-
quiring energy, but afterward the ma
ton ripened and was more able 10
direct itself constitutfonally. Gener-
al Diaz's later policies were interpret.
ed by his adversaries as sign of
weakness.
General Diaz. confident of the
good sense of the people, thought that
the agitation would disappear but the
people, easily forgetting the merits of
the Diaz administration. allowed
themselves to be dragged into a revo.
lutionary movement"
During the night the Ypiranga pro-
ceded for Santander, and Havre. Ac-
cording to the present plans Diaz will
land at Havre and go with his family
to Switzerland.
Diaz Exonerates Uncle Sam.
Paris, June IA dispatch to the
Temps from Saint Sebastian says
that General Diaz declared at Vigo
that his resignation of the presiden.
cy of Mexico was his final service to
his fatherland, as he had been con.
vinced by his friends that only
through his withdrawal. could peace
be restored. Nevertheless, he be.
lieved that he could have remained
and won over the revolutionists. When
he left Mexico the treasury reserve
totalled about $31,O0O,000 which he
believed would now be squandered by
the revolutionists. In conclusion
Diaz insisted that the United States
government was in no way respon-
sible for his resignation.

citing session of the senate commit
tee on territories was held today at
which Judge A. B. Fall, Ex-Governor
Curry and Hon. Charles A. Spiess took
part in an animated discussion of
the Flood statehood resolution. The

cry member was present. 1t is GER
tain that a number of amendments

Only Comma.
Special to the New Mexican.
Washington, D. c., June 17.-Judge
A. B. Fall before the committee on
territories of the. Senate, yesterday
upon request, detailed the operation
of the referendum clause, and it then
developed that comma in the New
Mexico print and lack of it in the
Washington copy of the New Mexico
constitution opened the referendum
clause to two constructions. The COM
mittee decided, however, that New
Mexico must settle that, Judge Fall
merely explaining what was the intent
of the constitutional convention as he
understood it. Fall also explained
the present amending clause and stat
ed that the need of the majority in
half the counties was brought about
by dissatisfied people of New Mexico,
and was necessary in order to insure
that the amendments would be gener
al legislation and would not affect
just a part of the territory.
Chairman Smith submitted tele-
grams from 26 commercial organize
tions asking favorable action on the
Flood resolution. Fall, Curry, Spiess
and Andrews were the only New Mexi-
cans present. Arizona was represent
ed by Cameron, Hoval, Mark Smith,

dress saying that he favored the early
admission of New Mexico and Arizo-
ma, and that all were ready for prompt
action that would not cause any delay.
Each member of the committee ex-
pressed willingness for the immedi-
ate admission Of New Mexico. In ex-
ecutive session, the committee voted
to meet next Friday to vote on both
New Mexico and Arizona, and report
to the Senate next Saturday by unani-
nous action. It is believed that Gov
