Mexico City. Nay 23.-Notwith-
standing the official signing of the
peace agreement, the capital is more
nearly isolated tonight than since the
Inauguration of hostilities. Ignorant,
apparently that the Var is ended Of
ficially. one small band Of rebels un-
der Candido Navarro last night cut the
National railroad near San Felipe,
south of san Luis Potosi and another
band stopped all traffic over the
AIexican railroad by ripping out the
rails and burning bridges near Hua-
manila. This revival Of rebel activ-
lily was not regarded as meaning that
the insurrectos viii refuse 10 abide
by the terms Of the peace treaty.
Yesterday the armistlce agreed up
on came L. a close and it is believed
that il is impossible that there are
hundreds and possibly thousands Of
rebels scattered in the hills Of the
country who have not learned that
their country is officially at peace
Al the foreign office and in other
government circles almost everyone
expressed optimism believing the
peaceful solution Of all difficulties is
near Unofficially this optimism is
not 50 apparent
Within the last seven days the fed
e~al garrison has been greatly
strengthened and the capture Of the
capital would now be difficult. From
Cuernavaca come disquieting rumor
today that the Figueroa men will not
agree to stop fighting unless the cab
met chosen is acceptable to them. II
is reported also that Figueroa and his
chief lieutenant. AsunSOio, are not IN
thorough accord and that Asunsolo
has incurred the enmity Of Zapata.
the captor of Cuatla, whom he has
branded as a bandit. 1t is not i'm
possible that the forces of these tTc
may yet come in conflict Such dis
sension has the effect of minimizing
the danger to the capital but In
creases the danger of anarchy in The
south.
Unless there is hitch in the plans
General Diaz will present his resig-
nation to the chamber Of deputies to-
morrow afternoon. He is expected to
go To the chamber personally. Ac-
commanding him will be the famous
presidential guards and his visit VIII
be attended by all the ceremonies or
dinarily observed.
Vice President Corrars resignation
is said to have been received. Just
prior TO the resignation of the pres
ident. it is expected, all the members
Of the present cabinet with the eX-
ception of Minister of Foreign Rela-
tions de In Barra viii resign. Their
letters of resignation viii be delivered
to Minister de la Barra for trans
mission to the president. When Diaz
will leave Mexico is not generally |
known. but it is certain that not |
many davs will elapse after his resig- |
nation. With him viii go his entire |
family including his son, POrfirio DiaZ |
Jr II has been thought that the !
Journey to France would be made on |
an ordinary steamer. but today the |
French legation. acting upon the re-
oIast Of the French colony asked its !
government to place a cruiser At the |
gneeraTs disposal
Almost coincident with the resigna-
tion of President Diaz, it is expected. |
win be offered the resignation of /
many army officers and federal au-
thorities. who prefer to retire instead
of awaiting for possible elimination
by the MaderO government. Among
those known to have presented their
resignation is Gen. Garcia Cuellar, the
officer who commanded the federals |
at the battle of Casas Grandes- An
other probable resignation is that Of
Guolermo lie Lansa Y. Escando' gov
ernor of the federal district.
Francisco /. Madero's entry into the /
capital will be a brilliant event. At |
the station there win be men whose
claim to fame has been established
i'm the last six months, as Wen as
men who have long enjoyed the good
will of the old government
