Brands as Equally False State

SAYS MADERO PROVING
GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT
Claims he left Mexico Because
His Life Was Endangered
at Election Time
NEW ORLEANS, Oct 6. Gen.
Bernardo Reyes, tor years the idol of
the Mexican army, long a political
leader of that republic and recently a
candidate for the presidency against
Francisco I. Madero, Jr., gave' em
phatic denial tonight to the publlca-
tlona connecting him with the organ
ization of a new revolution in Mexico.
Gen. Reyea arrived here this afternoon
from Havana, and will leave tomor
row for San Antonio, Tex., where he
probably will establish his home. In
a statement given to The Associated
Press tonight. Gen. Reyes admits he
will continue to manifest an active In
terest In the political affairs of Mex
ico but brands as absurd the stories
that he is planning the establishment
of a revolutionary Junta In San An
tonio. He was equally emphatic In
branding as absolutely faJse the state
ments that he has formed an alliance
with Oen. Porflrio Diaz and the Mex
ican socialist leader, Flores Magoon.
A combination with the latter he says
was "Impossible."
Why He Left.
"With a manifestation of deep emo
tion the aged former military leader
of Mexico declared he was forced to
flee his country on the eve of the elec
tion which Madero had falsely de
clared would be free because his Ufa
, was hourly endangered as a result of
! the growing conditions of anarchy
! fostered by the recent revolution.
"The people of Mexico are grensly
, disappointed In Madero," said Oen.
Peyes. "The revolution was success
ful because Madero had solemnly and
i Impressively declared for tree elec
, tlona and because he bitterly ar
raigned the ctentlflcoa. Now the pao
j ile realize that he has failed In these'
promises for thev were not given a
free election and Instead of destroying
the clentlflpos ho has Joined hani
with them.
After reciting the Incidents of Sun
day, Sept. S, when a demonstration,
drganlzed In his honor in Mexico City,
was forced to disband after being at
tacked by a mob of several thousand
people, and the general himself was
stoned when he attempted to address
his adherents from a second story
balcony, he said the government failed
to give him adequate protection at
anv time thereafter.
Oen. Tteves laughed at the story
emanating from Mexico City, telling of
the supposed shipment of a cargo, of
arms and ammunition from some
American port tn Ballna Cruz.
"The best evidence of the untruth
fulness of that atorv." enld the gen
eral, "Is thnt. no such shipment will
ever reach Snllna Cruz or anv other
port."

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 6 Before a
favorable twenty-mile wind from the

away from here today In contests for
the James Gordon Bennett torphy and
the Lahm cup.
Six of the air craft, three repre
senting the United States, two Ger
many and one France, are entered In
the Bennett race, an annual interna
tional event. The three Amrican bal
loons in this contst and the two other
American balloons are after the Lahm
cup. A ninth balloon, which acted as
pilot in the international 'race, is at
tempting to break the altitude record.
All of the aeronauts were pleased
with the starting conditions and pre
dicted long flights. One or two were
willing to predict Jhat the record of
1,1 71. miles, etabllshed by the Amer
ica II last year, would be broken. All
the racing .balloonists said that they
expected to croea'the Canadian bor
der. About 25,000 persons were on the
balloon grounds. The starting point
was on the south side of the Missou.i
river, north of the business center of
the city.
