MKXiCO CITY. July - A <1 ary
written by Aldo llaroni, an Italian
journalist, jjives a vivid picture of the
jlijjht of President Cananza and his
expedition of 10.000 persons from
Mexico City in the vain effort to
Teach Vera Cruz in safety. It leads up
to the moment when the word was
passed in the expedition to “save

(abandoned, Carranza bade Senor Pur
oni goodbye and began the march into
the hills which ended in his death.
The diary diseioscs the iact that
('ananza evulently forsaw his end foi
^eiior ilaiom quotes him as saying
w lien he left the train to take refugi
in the hills: “You saw me start m>
first journey in Ibid and you see my
last in lbJo.“ Parts of the diary as
published by El, Universal read:
“1 followed Don Venustiano when
lie U ft Saitiilo in Ibid with d(K) men
n hi.- heroic move against Heurta.
Tmlav l am leaving the capital with
i *
him to be, probably, a witness of bis
end. I am writing, seated on a bag of
rice in the Presidential supply car.
The disorganization which prevails in
f the station yards is terrible. Nobody
hn- the power to organize anything.
1 The expedition appears like one to Af
rica (referring to the enormous
amount of baggage.) I just saw in a
cage the lions of Panagan that used
to a*ouse the wonder of the bourgeo
isie in the Paseo de la Keforma.”
At Apizaco he recorded: “Word has
passed that the last three trains hav<
been lost. Ic appears that good-luck is
with l>on \'enustiano. T(jo word ‘trea
son’ is on every lip. Tho citizens are
jammed in the cars like sardines. Our
ma eit is like that of a hoard of sav

ren. domestic animals, dogs, chickens
r.nd parrots. Their women cause the
greatest disorder. In the trains arc
more than 10.000 per.-ons and of these
more than a.OOl) are women and child
ren who wail. cry. cook, rob and im
pede progress.
“In front of the Presidential train
is a luxurious pullman buffet car,
symbol of disorganization and im
morality. A number of girls elegantly
dressed and a few elegant youths,
comment and wave from the windows.
They appear liko picknickers.
