Felix Diaz. with the whole OF his
staff, was captured and all OF the reb-
els were disarmed. The casualties
were insignificant.
Thus ended the rebellion headed by
the nephew of the deposed president
of Mexico, who a few dayc ago took
the city of Vera Cruz without firing q
shot.
Tho entire army of General Diaz,
composed of $500 men, was disarmed
by the victorious federals.
The battle ragged for three hours
before the government forces under
General Beltran forced the insurgents
TO surrender.
The rebels were driven back into
the city from the suburbs and made
their last stand In the barracks. which
we're taken By storm.
General Diaz surrendered after Gen
eral Beltran's troops had brought can
non to bear on the barracks. The reb-
els were completely trapped and Diaz
notified tho federal commander that he
would yield in order to avert great
loss of life.
This defeat is expected finally TO
end the attempt Of Felix Diaz. the
nephew OF former President Porfrio
Diaz. to depose President Madero and
make himself head Of the country.
