FELIX DIAZ HAS FEW
FRIENDS LEFT IN MEXICO

MEXICO CITY, April 28.--Admir.
ers of Felix Diaz are very few in the
Mexican capital. The enemies of his
revolution, of course, execrate him.
but he finds as much criticism among
his former supporters MS he does
among those who have always 0ppos-
ed him.
Lack of nerve and ability" is the
charge generally brought against him.
No man in Mexico has had more OPP
portunities to make something of him
self and to take hand in the des-
tinies of Mexico than Felix Diaz for,
even though he was only the nephew
of old President Diaz, the president
felt even more kindly to Felix than
he did to his own son, who was thor
oughly incapable of assuming respon-
sibility in any sort. ~ tried to make
him a statesman" they say old Por-
firio remarked Of Felix, "and he wasn't
big enough for ii. tried to make
him financier, and gave him every
chance in the world, but he could not
rise to the opportunity. tried to
make him soldier, but he failed.
Then l gave him the little job of be-
ing chief of police of Mexico City
and he was happy"
Felix Diaz's seizure of Vera Cruz
before the downfall of Madero, is a
story that is full of instances of his
inability TO make the most of oppor-
tunities. In the custom house, when
Felix Diaz gained control of the town
was the sum of $3,000,OOO. Diaz
never learned it was there until after
he had been captured by Madero and
his revolution had failed. "Fool!'
cried old Porfirio Diaz, in Paris, whef
he heard of this incident. "Felis
Diaz was always ready to steal from
the poor, but he wouldn't take none,
from a government he was trying te
overthrow"
