 T leave the high post in the be- lief that l have fulfilled my duty to- ward my country and | entrust the lives and interests in the capital EO the governor of the federal district.
 "The whole responsibility for the future rests with the revolution, ant if we should behold a repetition of the situation l am trying to end the duties will be manifested once more that by violence society cannot he reconstructed"
 Perfect quiet reigns throughout the city.
