ON THE HONOR OF
PRESIDENT DIAZ
How a Former Brownsville Citi
zen Aided Diaz and Was Re
warded For It.
Julius G. Tucker in May .Success
This story by Colonel Tucker is true
in every detail and is told here for the
first time. Colonel Tucker is a personal
friend of General Diaz and for many
years was closer to the great Mexican
than any other American. Editor Sue
CESS.
My first meeting with General
Porfirio Diaz president of Mexico
occurred iu Brownsville Texas
when he was a fugitive friendles
aud penniless. Slc remained tlier
for four mouths and during that
time we became fast friends. One
day General Diaz-told me that he
had left Mexico to raise fuuds for
arms and ammunition in order to
keep up the revolution against the
usurper Sebastian Lerao 'ie le
jada. Diaz could get plenty of men
to carry the arms and all he want
ed was money.
He knew several men iu Browns
ville and Matamoros aud expect
ed pecuniary gid from them; but
us J had expected they disappoint
ed him. General Diaz had up se
enritr to offer save his word. I
knew- from mj short acquaintance
with him that that was as good a
lis bond.
Tlfe more I saw of General'Diaz
th more I felt secure iu helpin
him. His heart and soul seemed to
be centered in the cause of liberty.
It seemed to me that unless he
could attempt to save his eountiy
his life's wish would be shattered.
I had at the time a sum of money
in a New Prleans bauk. I resolved
to assist General Diaz. But when
I began to consider the matter
my fortune not being mastiveand
General Diaz without friends" or
resources to repay me plariiiug to
attempt the conquest of a nation
-the hope seemed like a chance in
lottery.
Some weeks" later after I had
written to New York for the cata-
ognes of ammunition makers I
ound General Diaz walking the
floor in great distress.
'My couiltrymen have forsaken
me lie sam almost in tears; "1
have neither a dollar wpra friend."
'Calm yourself General" I re
plied. " Youmay say that you have
no money but do not sag you have
no friends. I am willing and able
to assist you General."
Then 1 brought forth the nfejii
oranda of arms and ajuumnftion
which I Had ordered. The general
'sat as que fr'ansfixtri. He jumped
to his feet and embraced""!!!.?. His
sudden change from utter despon-
dency to highest Realization is im
possible to describe. We sat until
late thatuight pjanning the many
details iJfT the shipment of the
arms. I'leffc for .'New York and
made the nrcessarv -purchases.
When I telegraphed him; V-Williara
is coming" he knew thatTwasJvn
my way" home and that he should
send agents up the Rio Grande to
enlist troops. The arms were ship-
ped to Brownsville and there were
