a battle was fought between a posse
of armed guards and the striking coal

but a few companies were kept to do

many of the miners returned TO their
work.
The presence OF the mine guards
has kept the miners in state of anx.
iety, and IL has been feared all along
that there might be an outbreak a any
moment. This morning when the
guards were kidnapped it was thought
that it was signal for a general up

to his duties and behave himself
AS Felix Diaz Is the son Of Porfirio's
brother, the affection which his uncle
has always shown for hirn easily ex-
planned. Felix Diaz the elder was
Pordrio's only brother and the baby OF
the family and very much beloved by
him. He was many years the Junior,
and Porfrio had always been as n ia
ther to him. When the father OF the
brothers died Porfirio and Felix were
very young. and it fell to the lot Of
the elder boy to become the support Of
bis mother and her young family.
As Porfrio advanced he carried Felix
with him. Felix married a wealthy
Mexican lady, native of Oaxaca. and

for his apparent espousal Of the Ma

strain which ran through him shook

Felix Diaz, Who
Led Mexican
Revolution

!" HOSE who had the entree into
the inner circle of the Porirista
- party in Paris last summer
knew that preparations for a
new uprising in Mexico to be led by
General Felix Diaz were being pushed
as rapidly as possible The date was
evidently FASTENED by events in Mex
leo of which the general public is In
ignorance. The Mexican press has
been so censored that little has tran
spired Of the real conditions In that
country, and the bogy of American in
tervention has overshadowed all other
happenings.
Felix Dlaz has often been spoken Of
for the presidency, and the general
opinion has long been that his uncle
was preparing him for that office. AT
the time of Corral's second nomination
for the vice presidency Felix had also
been named by the Liberal party, the
two tickets in the field being ''Porfrio
Diaz Ramon Corral" and "Porfrio
Diaz v Felix DiaZ" 1t was not stub
bornness, as many believed, which was
behind the ''old mans" refusal to with
draw Corrals name, but in reality a
rupture which had arisen between
nephew and uncle. Porfrio brooked
no disregard or any command be might
see flt to give, and Felix believed him
self strong enough to refuse autocratic
orders when his judgment urged him

TO CLEAN PEST
HOLE or PACIFIC
The United States and Ecuador
VIII Cooperate.
HAR80R LONG DREADED.

Threat to Bar Ships From the Harbor
and City of Guayaquil Resulted In Ac-
tion--Psnana Health Funds Thought
to Be Available.
The United States and Ecuador have
Rgreed 10 cooperate in bringing about
the immediate sanitation of the har-
Dor and city Of Guayaquil, which for
generations has been known as the
pest hole of the Pacific"
This agreement was disclosed in
request received by the comptroller Of
the treasury from the war department
for an opinion as to the use Of funds
in the undertaking. 1t is believed the
comptroller's decision will be fayora-
BILE
Guayaquil has been for years notori-
Gus the world over as a breeding place
of yellow fever, cholera, smallpox and
other deadly diseases For years the
state department has been endeayor-
Ing to bring about a sanitation of the
port, but now its cleaning up is of vi
tai Importance to the United States.
Army medical officers In the canal zone
have declared that if Guayaquil re-
mains in Its present condition after the
Panama canal is opened ships from
that pols must be either barred from
passage through the canal or subjected
to quarantine regulations so rigorous
as to delay their passage for days or
even weeks.
The shipping of the entire world
would be menaced, the medical an
thorities said by allowing ships from
Guayaquil TO pass through the canal.
An important Question.
To Ecuador also the question Is OF
great Importance, involving the very
prosperity of the country Guayaquil
is practically the only seaport of CON
sequence on her coast
At first it was proposed that corps
of medical officers be sent from the
canal zone TO Guayaquil, their salaries
and expenses to be paid by Ecuador for
whatever period they engaged in the
work The judge advocate general of
the army, Judge Enoeh Crowder, de
cided that such procedure would be IN
lawful
1t is now planned to defray the ex-
penses of the preliminary survey out of
the funds appropriated for sanitary
work in connection with the construc-
ton of the Panama canal Precedent
for this procedure is found in the fact
that the cities Of Panama and Colon.
on the isthmus, were sanitated under
this appropriation. If the comptroller
of the treasury decides against the eX-
penditure the work will await action
by congress.
Guayaquil has exacted a terrible
death toll, not so much from her own
people as from foreigners. 1t is remem-
bered as the city where Thomas Mast
met his death by yellow fever. Officers
of the United States public health and
marine service have died there, and
only last winter Commander Bertolette
of the United States ship Yorktown
and number of his men lost their
lives in the pest hole from the same
disease
