PorfIrIo DIaz READY t0 Return.

EOitIiiO 0idZ RC0df "
Keneh, Egypt Feb. a. Porfirio
Diaz, former dictator Of Mexico, de
clared today that he is holding him
self in readiness to respond to the call
of his country in case foreign com
plications should arise out of the
revolution there. L this should not
occur, he said, he would not return
to Mexico until settled government
had been re-established there and his
temperance on the scene could be
made without risk Of being wrongly
interpreted
The aged ex-president expressed
the hope that hands off Mexico"
would continue to be the policy Of
the United States. General Diaz was
greatly elated over the success Of
his nephew, Felix Diaz, and General
Huerta, the provisional president,
whom he considers quite capable Of
working out the salvation Of the re
public.
When reports Of the possibility Of
intervention BY the United States
were mentioned the former, presi-
dent gravely retorted
4 and my adherents always have
been and will be sincere friends Of
the United states government and I
cannot imagine the United States or
others taking any action inconsistent
with Americas well known honesty
Of purpose"
General Diaz hopes and intends to
return to Mexico at some time. This,
however, he said viii not occur I'M
til peace has been firmly re-estab
lished, and my return cannot have
any misconstruction placed on It.
Should, however, foreign compiica-
tons arise, / will hold myself entire
" at my country's service

Mexico City, Feb. 24.-Franclsco l.
Madero, former president, and Jose
suarez. former vice president, were
killed on a midnight ride under
guard from the national palace to the
penitentiary Saturday night. the
circumstances of the killing are IN
known, except as given in official ac-
counts which do not conform in all
cases.
The only witnesses are those ac-
tually concerned.
Huerta says the killing was incl
dental to fight between the guards
and a party attempting to liberate
the prisoners.
Foreign Minister de la Barra added
that the prisoners attempted to es-
cape. Neither states which side
fired the fatal shots.
An official investigation has been
ordered to determine the responsible
ity.
The body of Madero shows one
wound. The bullet entered the back
of the head and emerged at the fore
head.
Suarez's body shows many wounds
entering from the front.
The official investigation into the
death Of Madero and suarez is to be
begun at once, but the general belief
prevails that it will cubstantiate the
official version Of the occurrence.
The fact that the bodies of the two
statesmen were recovered in the rear
OF the penitenhary was explained to-
day by the stat ment that second
encounter occurred close to the build
ing.
1t is said that the automobiles ran
along a side road and that Madero
and Suarez jumped out and were
running when they were caught be-
tween the fire of the guards and the
attacking party. This accounts for
wounds being inflicted on them from
different directions.
Provisional President Huerta and
the other authorities here are IN
earnest In their declaration that the
government was acting n good faith
and the death Of the prisoners was
due solely to the unforeseen circum'
stances
Madero's Death Relieves Tension
with the passing OF Francisco Ma
dero, the general opinion prevails
that the tenseness n the situation
had been relieved. There is
marked tendency on the part OF all
classes to accept the new order OF
things. From various parts Of the
country reports have been received
telling OF further adhesions to the
new administration The morning
newspapers also herald the new era
and prophecy immediate peace and
the early resumption &c prosperous
conditions.

The withholding OF full recognition,

dent Taft himself has declared that
he has not changed his policy in that
regard as a result Of the Latest devel-
opments in the Mexican oapitai and
it remains true that probably only
the extreme jeopardy of Americans
and foreigners in Mexico would be
regarded as sufficient for a departure

A feeling of anxiety over the sit

additional dispatches made public to
throw further light. on he condition,
It was felt that Ambassador Wilson'S
message late last night stating that

prove a sufficient indication to the
Mexican authorities Tor the purpose
Of this and other governments to
await definite assurances that the
bloody tragedies just enacted had not
occurred through any connivance Of
the Mexican administration.
While this has been asserted in
the statements made by Provisional
President Huerta and Minister de la
Barra, yet, assurances we're at the
time given of a searching investiga-
ton which would officially determine
the exact circumstances under which
the tragedies occurred.

HOW TO OBTAIN PROOFS.

Every effort is made by the Reg
istrar General to verify the applica-
tions through the published records.
If, however, the ancestors service
can not be proved in Washington, it
will be necessary for the applicant to
send a certified copy from the Pen
sion, State, County or Town Records,
or from the Record and Pension Of
fee, War Department, Washington,
D. G. The certificate will be returned
to the applicant as soon as the an
cestor's service is verified,
Old Commissions, certified copies
or certified photographs of Commits
sions can verify an ancestors SER
vice; so can old letters or certified
copies of old letters proving service.
Extracts from rare historical works
that can not be found in the Nation
al Library, should always be attest
ed.
Each applicant is urged to give
name of the State, and if possible the
county or town from which her an
cestor entered the service.
Much information of value to ap-
plicants is to be found in the yearly
report of this Society to the Smith
sonian Institution; also in it's Off
cial organ, the American Monthly
Magazine.
Continental Army. II the ancestor
was an officer in the Continental
Army his name will probably be
found in Heitman's Historical Regis
ter. A partial list of the officers and
men in the Continental service can
be found in Saffells Revolutionary
Record.
Pensioners. If the ancestor was a
Pensioner and the original Pension
Certificate is in the possession of the
applicant, she may send a certified
copy of such certificate. If she can
not obtain the certificate she may
verify her claim by writing to the
U. S. Commissioner of Pensions, or to
the Record and Pension Office, War
Department, Washington, D. G. 1t
is necessary that this application
should be made by the descendant.
Maine. A list of the Revolution
airy soldiers of Maine has been made
and published by the Maine Sons of
