Felix Diaz Leads Mexican Rebellion

A new complication has been thrown into the rebellion in Mexico by Felix Diaz, nephew of the deposed president Porfirio Diaz, suddenly coming to the front as a leader. He has seized several important posts, the city of Vera Cruz being among them. A messenger is on the way to France to confer with his distinguished uncle, who is to be his adviser. Five thousand federal troops that were drawn up to help overthrow the new Diaz all mutinied. It would seem at present that the name of Diaz, even tho it be worn by the nephew of the deposed but very successful old president, is one of the most formidable things that the Madero government has to encounter.
