TALK OF DIAZ' 4 RESIGNATION
Account of Failing Health The
Next President.
Limantour. or Revijs Diaz Wishes
to See Mexico Safely Lnnnch-
ed Under His Successor.
The following appear! n a copy
riijliti communication to the Galves
ton News from Mexico City:
The Mexican Republic of today-
may be considered more or less a?
the culmination of one man's ef
fort. That man is Uen. Porfirio
Diaz the present President whose
health has lately been the subject
of serious comment bv his friends
and of some alarming reports--is
sued through the press.
Compared with the smaller ..re
publics to the south of us all more
or less the result of. Spanish ex-
ploration and settlement Mexico
has of late years" been a singularly
well contninedand progressive com-
munity. Guided by the powerful
mind and character of Diaz Mex-
ii has risen'from the ashes of her
former self to a position "among
modern nations which reflects to
her credit to an extent which in
the ordinary passage of events we
scarcely give full credit to.
It was not until the belief gained
ground that the health of; . Presi
dent Diaz might be seriously im
periled that the thought -commenc
ed to dawn upon contemplative
minds of what might happen in
case President Diaz should be no
longer at the helm to guide the
destinies of our sister republic.
'
Should anything suddenly hapr
pen to disturb - the present placid
condition of affairs in Mexico-
something for instance like the
sudden death of Diaz the United
Slates would undoubtedly be the
party most. interested.
Notwithstanding the fa2t that a-
largufproportion of the Mexican
national debt is owed in London
American enterprise and capital is
largely distributed in Mexico mud
owing to our geographical situa-
tion we certainly would be the first
affected by. the .existence of any
disordered state of affAirs " which
migh't; occur there. ' -
We could no more afford to' ig-
uore an unsatisfactory condition of
internal affairs in Mexico than we
could in Cuba. The same principles
which compelled us to take an in
tense interest in the affairs of Mex-
ico.
It is not to be Thought. For a mo
ment thatra mi iid so sagacious as
thatnf Pr.pideut- Diaz has failed to
grasp these- facts in all their far-
reaching importance.
He. of all Mexienus . recognizes
the dangers that would face a Mex-
ico miguarde'd by a hand as" firm
and yet as.plfant as his own. fie is
too great a 'patriot not to have
foreseen ' all those1 probabilities
which must arise-i the event of
his death.
I have heard .it reliably stated
that his pians for the future of
Mexico have gone so fur as to lead
to his selection of two successors
ipep who haye UeCB'. trnstec nud
thoroughly tried in the .adminis
tration of the affairs of the" M ex
ican Republic.
These two men are Senor. Gen
eral Bernardo Reyes and JSenor Don
Jose Jves Limantour respectively
Secretary of War and ' Secretary of
W nance.
Naturally the first choice of Pres
ident Diaz is Gen. Reyes who
unites in. himself as does Diaz
tin twin capacities of soldier and
statesman a practicHy' ueeessar-
combinatioh for iu ahu-.f I'Xecutive
of such a Republic -as Mexico
-While the stronger claims winI
Gen. Reyes pM-se.-st-s fur assuming"
the preilet-y f Mexie aire pre-
eminently tho-c of a soldier he is
not by any means lacking in those
qualities wt-essary -iu the executive
head of a civil government. His
character is more clearly defined
and. better understood by the Mex-
ican people that is that of any
other member of the Cabinet. Be-
yond this he is unquestionably
very popular with the army.
A plebiscite would undoubtedly
make linn the favorite for presi
dent iul honors. At the same time
Limantour has very strong claims
uponthe people of Mexico. The
financiaj piosperity of the country
is due Ifirgely to his efforts and he.
is regarded here much as Goschen
is in England.
Prom the few remarks' that Pres-
ident Diaz has dropped it seems
probable that in case of his resig-
ie would prefer Limantmir
to be his immediate successor in.
order that the ambitions of the
less popular of the two ostensible
candidates might be gratified re
lying upon" the friendly rivalry of
both ultimately to conduct the
affairs of the Republic'to a suc
cessful issue.
It is therefore regarded as likely
and I gefe it upon reliable authori
ty that on the plea of failing
health Diaz may shortly resign in
order to put these difficult issues"
of politics to a test while he is yet
able lo keep a guiding hand pver
the fate of the couutry he loves so
well and has served so successful
