GEO. DIE LEAVES FOR GITYOFPARIS Friendly Demonstrations at Spanish Ports Has Comforted Him in His Bitter Exile, Ho Says. DID NOT BRIN8 ABOUT WAR TO MAINTAIN HIS POWER IN MEXICO Old General Bettera He Could Have Pot Down Rerolutlon in 13 Months by Math Shedding of Blood. Santander. Spain, June 19. The steamer Ypiranga with General Por flrlo Diaz, ex-president of Mexico, aboard sailed last night for Ply mouth. Several tugs flying the Mex lean colors and crowded with cheer ins people escorted the steamer for several miles. General Diaz said the friendly demonstrations at Spanish ports bad comforted him greatly in his bitter exile. "It is quite possible," he said, "thai after a few months rest I shall turn my stepd to the peninsula. I speak only Spanish and I am too old to be gin the study ot foreign language However, nothing has yet been decid ed upon. I shall make up my mind In Paris, where I go direct from Havre." A member of General Diaz's suite said the principal reason for the visit to Paris was to consult a spec ialist with reference to the abcess from which General Diax still suffers sreatly. "I abandoned power," said General Diaz, "when I became con vlnced that nothing but war lasting at least a year would put down the revolution. I wished to prevent the spilling of the blood of the children of my country In the fratricidal struggle, and above all to avoid the possibility of an international con flict or even representations from foreign powers. I wished to avoid the weakening of the national credit and the dissatisfaction of foreigners residing In Mexico who have contrib uted greatly to the prosperity of tht nation and who have merited the consideration of my country by their work. "My desire was to safeguard both my own dignity and the dignity of my charge, without ever having been guided by vulgar sentiment or petty pride, and certainly I did not bring about this strife, as some seem to lieve, to keep myself in power. 1 ha sacrificed myself and have given ui the struggle, convinced that I am giv Ing better proof of abnegation an' devotion to my country by abandon ing the reins of government a-id transmitting them to others, with 'he political situation by no means dee perate; with the army, while no' numerous, unconquered, and with the treasury, despite heavy campaign ex penses in the last six months, still holding 62,000,000 pesos. "That alone suffices to show the loyalty ot my conduct during the re cent crisis. I submitted myself to the will expressed by a portion of my country, although I believed It was mislead, and ail I ask for my declin ing years Is to spend them in tran quility in the bosom of my family and ardently hoping for the prosperity of my country, to which I have conse crated 62 years of effective service. placing It in a good position among civilized nations. "I have broken all the bonds which bold ma to Mexico, and even If I wert asked I would not return to take part In the politics of the coun try. Only some International diiil culty necessitating a supreme effort on the part ot all Mexicans lii a close anion could make me alter my deci sion, but If such an eventuality arose nothing could stop me from going to the end of my life, as in the first years of my manhood rifle in hand." The general said he now awaited any charges that could or would be brought against him, to refute or ig nore, as he deemed fit. Gsnsr&l Diaz had a splendid recep tion at Santander. Captain General Marquis Polavleja, president ot the Spanish mission to the Mexican cen tennial celebration last year, greeted him In behalf of King Alfonso. All ths civil and military authorities, the Mexican minister at Madrid and many others paid respects. Many brought bouquets. The general was greatly touched, and said It was a great pleasure that ths first land In Europe his eyes should behold was that to which he was bound by ties of blood, language and beliefs. Prom Plymouth General Diaz will proceed to Havre. SUIT OF GRAHAM AGAINST EXPRESS CO. NON-SUITED Plaintiff Was Kulng For 94000 Por Allied False Arret, Kto May (Mart New bull.

DOG OWNERS MUST MUZZLE INSTEAD HALTER CANINES Judge Adams Construes City Ordl- nance ami instructs Oniccrs , . to Knforce Law. Judge . Adams of ths Municipal court has construed an ordinance passed by the board of aldermen sev eral years ago requiring the muzzling of dogs during ths summer months, to mean Just what It says and not the "haltering" of dogs. Consequently he has given the chief of police instruc tions to have ths law enforced and to require those dog : owners who have placed on the head of. their caniua friend a mere leather halter to substitute such alleged "muzzle1 for a muzzle that will serve as a pro tection to humanity against vicious aogs sucn as tne city lathers' con templated when ths ordinance was passed.
