Se analiza una de las historias que comprueban que Díaz logró ciertos beneficios gracias a su afiliación masónica desde antes que fuera presidente de México. Esta historia narra la manera en que Díaz logró entrar de contrabando a México con la ayuda de un hermano masón en 1876, después de su breve exilio en Nuevo Orleans a bordo del buque de vapor, "City of Havana". En un principio se pensaba que ésta era simplemente una leyenda más del folklore que envuelve a la masonería. Sin embargo, dos testimonios, ambos de masones que iban en el mismo barco ratifican la historia que incluso el mismo historiador de la masonería norteamericana, William Deslow, catalogaba como un incidente, "no verificado."Asimismo, se describe cómo Díaz promovió la unificación de las logias del rito escocés en una institución que se llamó La Gran Dieta Simbólica. La razón principal por la cual Díaz promovió tal unificación, como se afirma en este artículo, fue para llevar a cabo su plan de pacificación nacional. Díaz sabía que tenía que obtener el control de la masonería para evitar que ésta le causara problemas para lograr el orden y progreso que caracterizó a su gobierno. Por tal motivo, el dictador siempre vigiló que ni la masonería, ni cualquier otra institución que hubiera podido tener cierta influencia en la sociedad estuvieran fuera de su control.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[AbstractThis article explores the role that Porfirio Díaz played in Freemasonry and his relationship with such an institution, analyzing one of the stories that proves that Díaz benefited from his Masonic affiliation before he was president of Mexico. This story tells how Díaz managed to smuggle himself into Mexico with the help of a brother Mason in 1876, after his brief exile in New Orleans aboard the steamship, "City of Havana". At first, it was widely believed that such a story was simply a legend, part of the folklore that surrounds Freemasonry. However, two witnesses, both Masons, who were in the same boat with Díaz, confirm the veracity of the tale that even William Deslow, the historian of American Freemasonry,, cataloged as a, "not verified" incident. In addition, it studies how Díaz promoted the unification of the Scottish Rite lodges in an institution called The Symbolic Grand Diet. The primary reason why Díaz promoted such unification, as stated in this article, was to carry out his plan of national reconciliation. Díaz knew he had to gain control of Freemasonry to avoid future confrontations and trouble. He didn't want anybody to interfere with his governmental policy of order and progress. Therefore, the dictator always made sure that neither masonry nor any other institution that had substantial influence in society were out of his control.]]></p></abstract>
