statement on behalf of the company
that ii has made no such contribution
as you claim. IT, however you refuse
to accent my statement and have such
overwhelming evidence as you claim
to have. to the effect that the Har-

DIAZ JOINS REBELS.
Nephew of Deposed Mexican President
Quits Army.

Mexico City, Oct. 13.-Gen. FeliN
Daz has joined the rebellion against
Madero, who forced from the Presi-
dency his uncle, Porfirio Diaz. This
is the news sent from the State OF
Vera Cruz, Saturday. President Ma
dero is reluctant to believe the re-
port, but there appears little doubt
of it's accuracy.
Diaz is supposed to be in the State
of Vera Cruz, near the southeastern
boundary of Puebia, where he is ex-
pected to join the forces of Gen. Ag-
uilar, who was last reported at a
ranch near Tehuacan, in Puebia. The
latter is said to be depending large
~ on the Indians of Oaxaca and 9TH
ers, who for some time have been in
rebellion, fighting leaders working
more or less independently.
Gen. Felix Diaz resigned his com
mission in the army, few months
ago. Since then he has been the sub
ject of much gossip on the part OF
those who believed he would attempt
to wrest the government from Ma
dero. For few weeks he was In the
city of Vera Cruz. He has some fol-
lowing in the army and 1t is not i'm
possible that some of the Federais
will join him.
Gen. Aguilar was the first army Of
ficer of high rank to take part In the
rebellion. He has had no serious en-
counter with the Federals On the
other hand, Federals sent more than a
week ago to campaign against him APP
pear to have made little effort in that
direction.
