MEXICO CITY, Feb 20.-Unquah-
fed satisfaction that through General
Felix Diaz and the provisional gov
ernment headed by General Huerta,

is the most popular man In the repub-

used by his uncle, Porfirio Diaz, when
he was president.
According to the best information
obtainable today on the plans OF the
new government, campaign to make
Diaz president will be started within
few days. He will have no real op-
position, his friends say, after the
country has become pacified. Form

During the morning Felix Diaz sent
cablegram to his uncle Porfirio
Diaz, who was ousted from the prest
