by Associated Press.
Mexico city May 26.-Generll
Portfirio Dia2 left the capital at 2
o'clock this morning with only n few
friends whom he trusted, following
him, for Vera Cruz, to take ship
for Spain As he was leaving his
home for the station the sounds of
the joyful demonstrations over the in
auguration Of Francisco Leon De Ia
Rarra, reached his ears,
So carefully were the arrangements
made for his departure that details
could not be confirmed until this af-
ternoon. The desire to reach Vera
Cruz without the fact being known
was due to the fact that bands of
bandits along the line of the Mexican
railroad standard guage line with
modern equipment, are said to have
threatened to prevent the departure
Of Diaz from the capital because of
the fear that he would attempt, as
formerly has been the case, to carry
the national funds with him.
Three trains We're used to take the
former president and his party to
Vera Cruz. The first was pilot
train the second contained the Diaz
party and the third a guard Of in
fantry. Newspaper men at Vera Cruz
have long since given up attempting
10 transmit information over the fed
eral line, particularly when the in
formation had to do with news which
the government wished to remain un-
published. Presumably De la Barra
and the higher officers have been in
formed but their lips are sealed
Even Americans high in authority
with the road have been impressed
with the necessity for maintaining
silence,
General Diaz was still suffering
from his illness, and was far from
being a well man when he LETT his
home. The night was chilly and a
drizzling rain had set in. A more
dreary leave taking could scarcely be

and a borrowed automobile was used
to further the disguise. The road to
San Lazara station had been mapped
out along unfrequented streets, and
police were scattered along the line
Inauguration a short AFFAIR.
Mexico city, May 26.-The inaug-
uration of Francisco Leon De Ia
Barra was very brief affair, occu-
pying but ten minutes. lie seemed
scarcely to have reached Avenidc
Cinco de Mayo with his escort before
he was on his way back to the ma
tlonal palace his carriage smothered
with flowers. The oath was admin
lstered by the president of the cham
Der of deputies, The provlsiona
DTtSlttlll SlOJu WIN MS manu- tNN'Ih-

the custom in Mexico to use the Bible
nor Is the name Of the Diety used.

Juarez, Mexico, May 26,-FranciscC
T. Madero, Jr., in a manifesto to the
people Of Mexico resigned the posi-
tion of provisional president confer
red upon him by convention Of rev.
olutionists at San Luis Potosl last
October, and called upon the people
of Mexico to support De la Barra as
