ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE
FELIX DIAZ FAILS
1 Im'AfV'
Felix Diaz.
' Havana, Nov. 7. Though- rumors
are afloat to the effect that the knife
used by the assassin who cut Gen.
Felix Diaz, Mexican refugee, twice in
the neck, was poisoned, there is noth
ing in Diaz' condition to indicate this,
and it is believed the cuts will soon
heal.
The attempt to assassinate Diaz
was very spectacular. He was sit
ting, with Luis Malba, manager of the
Mexico City street railways, and Ce
celio Ocon, who fled with him from
Vera Cruz, on a bench in the Mala
con, listening to a band concert,
when five Mexicans attacked him
without warning.
The man with the knife shot at
Diaz, but his bullet wounded a com
panion. Though Diaz was armed, he
did not attempt to use his gun, but
defended himself with his umbrella.
Diaz and his companions, the
wounded Mexican and Harry Berlin
er, a New-York salesman who came
to Diaz' rescue, were arrested.
