 Capital Isolated
 Notwithstanding the official singing or the peace pact the capital Is more nearly isolated tonight than it has been since the inauguration of hostilties. Ignorant, annarently. that their commander-in-c chief has brought the war to a close, one small band of rebels, under the leadership or Candidi Navarro, last night cut the Ma tional railroad at point near San Felipe, south of San Luis Potosi, and another band stopped all traffic over the Mex ican railroad by ripping out the rails and burning bridge near Huamantla.
 Word was sent by Navarro's men to the management of the railways not to run trains over that division if the lives of the passengers were to be respected, and those responsible for the interrup- tion on the Mexican railroad notified the officials of that road not to attempt re- pairs. In both cases the orders were obeyed. Believing that the rebels in Morolos would interfere with traffic in Cuernavaca branch of the National rail- roads the arrangements sent no train south today. The train which should have arrived from Cuernavaca was abandoned at the order of Governor Alarcon. the rebel executive of Morelos.
 The only line being operated of the city tonight is the Inter-Oceanic a nar- row guage extending to Vera Cruz. The land wires which connect the capital with Vera Cruz have also been cut again.
 No Cause for Alarm
 This revival of rebel activities was not regarded as meaning necessarily that the insurrectos will refuse to abide by the ferns of the peace treaty. Yesterday the aru,istice agreed upon came to close, and if is believed not impossible that there are hundreds and possibly thousands of rebels scattered in the hills of the coun- try who have not learned yet that their country is officially at peace.
 Navarro Is reported. however, to have said that he would not consent to peace at this time, while the motive for the cutting of the Mexican railway may be found in the fact that troop train carrying soldiers was being brought y toward the capital. Unconfrmed re- ports tonight are that these delayed eoldiers have detrained at Huamantlo and engaged body of rebels in battle The Mexican railroad Is an English property which until now has been molested but little by the insnrrectos. At the foreign office and in gov ernment circles almost everyone e3- presses optimism, believing that the | peaceful solution of all difficulties Is at hand Unofficially this optimism is | not so apparent.
