BY one of the most curious turns

volt became tremendous revolution
and the man who lately was at the
mercy of Madero substantially be-
came Madero's conqueror and the
new master of Mexico.
This man is Colonel Felix Diaz,

dictator, and as it now seems, a
leader of Porifiro Diaz's daring and
ability. little more than three
months ago Colonel Diaz raised the
banner of instruction in Vera Cruz
against Madero, but was overwhelmed
and captured with hardly shot fired.
Tried for treason, found guilty and
condemned to death, Colonel Diaz
was saved only by the clemency of
President Madero, who committed
the death, sentence to Imprisonment
in the military fortress of San Juan
