DIAz,FOR
GENERATION LORD
OF MEXICO, DEAD
Former President of Republic Meets
Death in Paris in Exile
from Complication of
Diseases.
CRISIS COMES VERY SUDDENLY
DespOt Fought Against United
States in the Forties and French
Forces at Later Day.
WAS ELECTED AGAIN AND AGAIN

PARIS. July 2.-General Porfirio
Diaz, former president OF Mexico,
died at I o'clock tonight.
General Diaz's wife, Sonora Car
men Romero, Rublo Diaz, and their
son, Porflrio Diaz, jr.. and the latter's
wife we're at his bedside when the
end came.
General Diaz began to fail rapidly
about three weeks ago and while his
death was not unexpected, owing to
his advanced age and recent falling
health. the crisis came suddenly this
afternoon. Colonel Porflrio DiaE, jr.,
and his wife were summoned hastily
and arrived at the bedside only a
few moments before the end.
Cause of Death.
Colonel Diaz. in announcing the death
Of his father. said that he was unable 20
state the nature OF the malady. but ex-
pressed the opinion that a complication
of diseases due to advanced age was
the cause.
General Diaz had been in failing health
after reaching Europe in 1911 after his
resignation from the presidency OF Mex
leo. following the successful Msdero rev.
olution Last fall he was III at Biarritz,
France, but was reported to have re-
covered. He had consistently declined to
comment on the passing phases of the
Mexican situation.
Two tragic circumstances marked the
death OF the exiled ruler. Owing to the

Tore and Sonora Rincon Gallardo, who
are now in Mexico. OF the death OF their
father.
Old Associates Away.
Not less tragic, perhaps. is the fact that
not one OF those whom General Diaz
raised up to be his assistants in govern
ing Mexico. and who prospered and grew
rich IN the shadow OF his greatness. were
with him when ne died Jose Yves de

Landa. former governor Of the federal

Scarcely anyone outside the family knew
OF the seriousness OF General Diaz's Ill
ness or that he was In Paris.
The end seems to have been brought
about by failure OF the heart. which was
weakened by a severe attack OF grip last
year. This illness also left the aged exile
almost blind. Nevertheless. he was &C
customed TO walk out daily during the
last spring In the Boise de Boulogne
