GEN. PORFlRI0 DlAZ ASKS
HUERTA TO YIELD TO u. S.
Good of Mexico Only Question
To Be Considered Now,
Saws Elk President.

Paris, Nov 10.-General Porfirio Diaz
has advised General Victoriano Huerta to
retire from the Presidency of Mexico
Two friends OF General Diaz, each acting
separately and by authorization OF the
former President. sent cable messages to
General Huerta last week to this effect.
In outlining his attitude General Diaz
said that i'm the present situation OF 'the
Mexican people in relation to the United
States il was not question Of whether
Huerta was the best man for the Presi-
dency, nor was it a question of whether
the revolutionists were right or wrong
selled General Huerta to renounce any
feelings of personal prestige or power and
thus save Mexico from a calamity.
General Diaz meets many MeXicans
here, friends Of Huerta. friends Of the
Maderos and old friends OF his own. He
spends half the day talking on the affairs
OF Mexico, up one side and down the
other. He has been urged for some time
to take an attitude for or against Cen
eral Huerta. II was pointed out to him
that his influence was extraordinarily
great in Mexico. far greater since his res
ignation i'm consequence OF the disorders
and suffering there.
This the former President always re-
fused TO do until now. and only as an APP
peal TO Huerta's judgment as to whether
his love for his country did not require
his remuneration of power in the presence
of the increasing pressure Of the United
States.
General Diaz said to his friends that
he would have telegraphed to General
Huerta himself, only he had thus far
taken no direct step in Mexican affairs
since he left the country and would pre-
fer to convey his conviction through
friends of his and Of General Huerta's.
