FORMER MEXICO
LEADER DEAD IN
new YORK CITY
General Cuellar, Wei Known
in Brownsville and Mata-
moros, Was Former Com
manding General Of Diaz.

General Samuel Garcia Cuellar, chief
Of staff to former President Of Mex
icc, Porfirio Diez. and one OF the most
Mexican history, who died in New
York City Friday. has many warm
friends in Brownsville and other border
points lie was educated in Matamoros.
and married Miss Adelaide Petitpain,
daughter Of the late Louis Petitpain.
for many years prominent and
wealthy merchant Of Matamoros.
General Cuellar was a native Of San
Fernando. but received his education
in Matamoros. lie came from one of
the most prominent families in north
ern Mexico.
After graduating from the high
school at Matamoros, he entered the
military academy at Chapultepec, the
West Point of Mexico. lie graduated
from that institution rs lieutenant Of
engineers. He became attached to the
personal staff Of General Porfirio
Diaz. then president Of Mexico, rs an
aid-de-camp, and ever remained ore of
the most faithful followers of Diaz.
Cuellar rose rapidly in rank. and fin
ally when he attained the rank Of Col
onel, was made chief Of staff. II was
in this capacity that he participated
with President Diaz in the famous
conference with President Taft, on the
international bridge ut FL Paso in
1909.
when the Madero revolution broke
out, Cuellar asked to be sent to the
front, and the led the Diaz troops i'm
the battle of Casas Grandes, where he
routed the forces Of Madero, under
Madero's personal command. In this
battle many prisoners, and military
equipment were captured.
Colonel Cuellar received n serious
wound in the battle. from a dum-dum
bullet. which later necessitated the
amputation of his right arm. After
this battle, he was raised TO the rank
of general. second in command to Diaz
himself.
After the overthrow OF the Diaz
regime, General Cuellar fled to the
United States, and although invited to
return by MGdero, he never went back
to Mexico. He bought a farm near
Laredo. but after several years Of far
ming, he retired. and moved TO New
York. where he lived for the past two
years.
He was about 52 years Of age. and
Brownsville friends who visited him in
New York in the spring reported that
he was IN splendid physical condition.
The cause Of his death has not been
learned.
Friends in Brownsville state that the
body will probably be taken to Mexico
City. and buried in state, as has been
the case with all former Mexican lead
ers who have died in the past few
years. even though they were political
exiles.
Mrs. Cuellar, who is we'll known in
Brownsville and Matamoros, has two
sisters, Mrs. Manuel Colsa Of Mata-
moros, and Mrs. Leonardo +. Bolados
who resides ut Saitlllo.
