treasury, accumulated in q period OF
thirty years Of peace. The above ~
a picture Of Mr.. Madero's admlnlstra-
ton.
but l must say, that during my sd-
ministration, all the aw-abiding cltl-
zCns Of my republic. as well as all
the foreigners resident there, until
the very last moment Of my command,
received guarantees, and their homes,
their lives and their properties were
fully protected. appeal TO the testi-
mony of the Spanish, German, French
and English colonies, and particularly
to the important American colony
resident in Mexico. They will and do
confirm what | say.
unfortunately, and for our shame,
numerous crimes have been committed
against foreigners on Mexican soil dur
ing the last four years and a half.
Englishmen were sowardly assassinSt-
ed. more than three hundred Cinnamon
were brutally slaughtered in Torreon,
German women were brutslly violated
in Covadonga, Spsnisrds were butch
cred in Atencingo and other places,
foreign and native ministers of the
Church were shamelessly mistreated,
but these crimes were committed either
before or after my time or by rebels
in territory that ! did not control.
These are the results of the anarchlcal
propaganda Of Mr.. Madero and his fol-
lowers.
at was said that my humble person
was the cause of the reigning condi-
tons in my country. After due medl-
tation, decided to see if, by my own
elimination. | could do some good to
my country and fulfill the offer | made
my country-bring peace, no matter
AZ what cost
81 may say, were il not for the i'm
mense love for my country and the FER
vent desire for its good and progress;
I would still be the constitutional
President of my country, as there
never existed nor could there exist any
power that could fight and win against
right and Justice, and drive me from
nv post. | resigned because thought
by so doing to benefit my country: l
left the presidency voluntarily. NO
body took il away from me.
"Mv Indian. honest blood boils when
! think of the unfortunate conditions
existing in my poor country, and when
think that a good, clean press like
the American is led by false and
artificial tricks to defend a cause
which is nothing more than one of
dalism and anarchy.
But never mind. | have hopes. My
Mexico is young. My Mexico has
plenty Of life in it. My country can
not be conquered. We have sixteen
millions Of men, women and children,
and it would neeu sixteen millions OF
invaders 70 conquer it. Then devas-
tated country would be the prize of the
conuueror. 10 the shame OF civilization
and TO the shame of the conqueror.
Never mind, Mexico will be saved by
A Mexican. BY strcng Mexican. Not
bv bandit. Where is the man? Who
is the man? When will the man APP
pear? | do not know"
One thing is sure no one not well
disposed toward Nictoriano Huerts
stands very little chance of getting
near him. He is established in a suite
on the fifth floor of the Ansonia Ho-
tel. AT Broadway and Seventy-third
Street. He is surrounded by trusty re-
tanners, and woe to him who tries to
run the blockade.
The visitor first must send up his
card. fifth general is willing TO re-
ceive his caller the Office is instructed
to issue a pass signed by the clerk on
duty. Once on the fifth floor, there IS
a brass-buttoned turnkey, who exam
ines the card Then comes Abraham
T. Rather. who oficiates in the capacity
of friend" That's what he said he
was.
