TO BE PEACE NOW.


Mexico City, May 27.-With Porfirio
Diaz in flight. the leaders of the pro.
visional government believe that the
last obstacle to peace in Mexico has
been removed and that the plans for
the reorganization Of the country on
a progressive basis can be carried out
without danger of counter revolu-
ton.
Porfirio Diaz, for whom during SO
years all Mexico has stood to one side
hat in hand, stole from the capital
with great secrecy at o'clock Fri.
day morning. Only a few devoted
friends whom he dared trust followed
him to the station. He was bound
for Vera Cruz, to take ship for Spain.
In the distance he could hear the
voices of a few OF the more enthusi-
astic celebrants who we're still claim
ing the new President, Francisco Leon
de la Barra, and shouting viva Ma
dero."
So carefully were the arrangements
made for the former Presidents escape
that details could not be confirmed
until this afternoon. Secrecy was due
less to apprehension Of popular out
burst here than to desire to reach
Vera Cruz without the fact being
known to marauding bands along the
route.
