. Parla, July 2.-General Porfirio ?
O?a/., former president of Mexico, died
carly tonight. Hi? wife and son, Por
firio, Jr.. and his wife were at lils
bedside.
Two tragic circumstances marked
tho death of Diaz. Owing to (be dis
turbed conditions it has been impos
sible to send thi> borty.to Mexico with
ceremony befitting one of the figudea
in Mexican history. Further, Colonel
Porlflro Diaz. Jr., '.ried vainly to in
form his sisters. Senora lgnacta de
La Torre and Se nora Rincon (lallarde,
now in Mexico, of their father's death.
Not one of thc men raised up ns as
sistants by Diaz in Mexico were at his
bedside. All are scattered. Few
odtside the family knew of the ser
iousness of his illness. The < nd
seems to have been brought about by
heart failure. His heart was weaken
ed by an attack of grippe a year ago.
The letter with which Generul Por
firio Diaz announce.!, on May 25,
1911, his resignation from the presi
dency of Mexico after having boen
master of the country for thirty-five
years gives in his own words an in
teresting glimpse of his remarkable
^career, tt reads:
"Slr: The Mexican people who gen*"

during the international war, who pa

undertaken to develop industry and
the commerce of the republic, estab

of thc world and obtain for it an
honorable position in the concert of
nations-that some people, slr, have
revolted in armed military bands,
stating that my presence in the exer
cises of tho supreme executive pow
er is tho cause of tltis Insurrection.
"I do not know of any fact im
putable to mo whicb would have
caused this social . phenomenon, but
permitting, though not adm it ling, that
I may be unwittingly culpable, such

art ?rio 82 with the federal constitu

present&tiven of the nation In order to \
resign, unreservedly, the office or con- ,
atltutlonal president of the republic
with which the national vote honored 1
me. which I do with the more reason '
since. In order to continue In office, '
it would he necesHsry to shed Mex!- ,
can blood, endangering the credit ot
the country, dissipating its wealth, 1
exhausting its resources and exposing
its policy to international complica- 1

"I hope gentlemen, that when the
passions which are inherent to all re- 1
j volutions have been calmed,, a more
conscienclous and just study will 1
bring out In the national mind, a cor- 1
rect judgment, which, when I die; I
may carry graven on roy soul .as a 1
fust estimate of the life which I have
ck-voted and will devote to my coun

The revolution led by Geueral Fran

largo majority voted aye; the other
legislators rone and bowed their af

The minister of foreign affairs,
