	Porfirio Diaz - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		PORFIRIO DIAZ (1830-), president of the republic of Mexico, was born in the southern state of Oaxaca, on the 15th of September 1830.
		Diaz continued in his native town until 1854, when, refusing to vote for the dictator, Santa Anna, he was stung by a taunt of cowardice, and hastily pushing his way to the voting place, he recorded his vote in favour of Alvarez and the revolutionists.
		Diaz at once set to work to pay up arrears due to his soldiers, proclaimed death as the penalty of plunder and theft, and in the few weeks that followed showed his great administrative powers, the officers as well as the rank and file receiving arrears of pay.

	Porfirio Diaz
		Diaz was defeated at Icamole, and escaped to New Orleans, where he remained until called by his partisans to Oaxaca, the centre of the revolution against Lerdo's government.
		When it was seen that Diaz was not keeping the promises made in his program of Tuxtepee, his partisans in the press, and some of the most prominent men of the revolution, urged him to its fulfillment, saying that the only thing gained by eleven years of bloody struggle was his obtaining the presidency.
		In October 1886, a letter from Diaz was published in Paris, in which he declared that the ex-marshal Bazaine, during the French-Mexican war, proposed to him to surrender the cities occupied by the iraperialists, including the munitions of war, together with the emperor himself and Generals Miramon and Mejia.
