Coruna, Spain, June 17.-Physically
enfeebled and sick at heart, General
Porfirio Diaz, an exile from the re
public of which he was chief builder,
at last has yielded to an impulse of
self defense. In formal statement
he Justified his administration as
president of Mexico and reproached
his countrymen for what he describes
as their ingratitude. The expression,
the first of a personal nature since
he was forced from the presidency,
was made on board the steamer Ypir-
anga during the brief stop of the ves-
sci in this harbor last night
When he was approached by news
paper representatives General Diaz at
first asked to be excused, plead
ing indisposition and explaining that
though the troublesome tooth had
been extracted, he still suffered from
an abscess on the lower jaw. How
ever, after consultation with members
OF his party, the following statement
was given to the Fabrica Agencia, the
official press association OF Spain:
General Diaz is 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
ration, foreseeing that If he continued
to defend his cause he might afford
Q pretext for Intervention. The bitter
ness and deep disappointment which
be felt was mitigated by the warmth
of the manifestation of sympathy on
his departure from Vera Cruz. Much

torship but can one thus define
