On the morning of.October 23rd the as sault began, and as the govern ment forces greately outnumbered 1 the rebels, the city was taken with I little difficuulty. The attack last- ed only a few hours, and the loss of life on both sides was small. Owing to the High Standard ERA , BY A FORMER General Diaz 'and his leading offi- cers were tried and sentenced to death. Other officers were given terms of imprisonment: The. dead: sentence wee not carried out, how- ever, because the supreme court granted a stay on an appeal of Diaz' attorney. The ease with which Vera Cruz was retaken add- ed to the prestige of the govern- ment, and President Madero, in his message to the Chamber of Deputies, referred to the Diaz up- rising as an unimportant incident. It was thought best. however, to remove him from Vera Cruz and place him in the penitentiary of the City of Mexico, where it was supposed that he would be more securely guarded. Diaz was accordingly taken up to t the capital, under heavy guard in . a special train. He had only been • there a few • weeks when he made his second and boldest - stroke. Early on the morning of Sunday, Maintained in the Popular the 9th lilt, a handful of cadets I from the military school, acconi- ELLIOTT n panied by a few soldiers, and led • /ij by General Mondragon, attacked 'the • Santiago Prison, where old • General Reyes was confined, and liberated him: The troops on guard in the prison joined the movement, and the building was set on fire. The whole body then' hurried to the penitentiary, and mounting a cannon so thee it com- manded the gates, demanded the immediate release of General Diaz. This was acceded to at once, Diaz then assumed command, and led the way to the Plaza, or central square with the intention of seiz- ing the National Palace. The guard, however, opened fire on the revolutionists, and killed a number of them, including General Reyes. Diaz then hurried to the famous old Citadel, a fortress of great strength lying in the heart of 'the City of Mexico, and which is the storehouse of the artillery and ammunition for the Mexican army. After a short engagement the garrison surenderecl, and Diaz and Itis men took possession of the. Citadel. They immediately began to mount heavy artillery so -that every street leading to the it posi- tion was commanded by cannon, and they also placed a targe number of machine guns on the housetops. In fact, the roofs (which in Mexico are flats of eh the high surrounding the SO; a: -la'. were occupied by revolutionists. TORONTO, ONT. I the demand for the graduates is far in excess of the supply.
