Diaz's Career

The letter with which General Por-
f1rio DiaZ announced on May 25, 1911.
his resignation from the Presidency Of
Mexico after having been master of
the country for 35 years gives in his
own words an interesting glimpse Of
his remarkable career. 1t reads:

erously have covered me with honors,
who proclaimed me as their leader
during the international war; who pa
triotically assisted me in all works I'M

accounts for about 100000 bales Of
cotton, largely linters and waste.
Then there Is the enormous demand
for absorbent cotton and bandages,
This probably calls for about 100000
pounds of cotton annually, or about
100000 bales. In fact, it is quite likely
that figures could be deduced to show
that the war demand for cotton Is
largely counterbalancing the loss Of
regular demand due to the prostra'
ton Of the industry in Germany, Aus.
tria, Belgium and France.

Determination of the u.
S. Government That
Dictator" Shall Not
NJ a Ike Further Dis
turbance
STATE RE-ARREST
POSSIBLE MEANS

Washington. July 1.-The United
States government is determined that
Gen. Victoriano Huerta, the former
Mexican dictator, shall not re-enter
Mexico from American territory while
he may constitute factor for the dis
turbance of the political or military
situation in the Southern republic.
BY Just what means Gen. Huerta is
to be held has not been definitely de-
termined At present he is at liberty on
bonds of $4,000 and will be given a
hearing on July u. when the depart
ment of justice will endeavor to press
the charge Of violation Of neutrality
laws. In the meantime agents Of the
department are keeping Huerta under
surveillance and the military authori-
ties on the border similarly have been
ordered to prevent him from crossing
the border.
Possible Re-arrest
Emphasis was laid in official quarters
fodav on the noSSible re-arreSt of Huerfa
as a result of the formal request for ex-
tradition received yesterday from the
Villa governor of the state of Chihuahua
Should the government fail to prove in
the next hearing that Huerta is guilty
of violating American neutrality or de-
eide to withdraw its charges, high off,
Gals pointed out that he could be re-
arrested and held for 40 days without
bail pending the receipt of evidence from
the Villa authorities. Under the Mexi-
can-American treaty of 1899. it was ex-
planned. the governor of a border state
in either country can make requisition
for fugitives from justice and when the
civil authority has ceased military au-
thorities can request extradition. This,
officials said, would cover the present
situation without involving the question
of recognizing any civil authority in
northern Mexico.
Possible Deportation
Some talk was heard today in the ex-
ecutive departments about a possible de-
portation of Huerta to Spain, from which
country he came to the United States.
Officials generally, however. doubted
that any statute could be invoked to
warrant deportation.
In the event Huerta finally is freed. It
is expected that government agents and
the military authorities will keep him
under surveillance later and prevent his
return to Mexico except through the reg
ular ports Of entry. Officials think he
would prefer to remain in the United
States rather than take such chance.
