Iron a Special Correspondent Of The Tribune
Mexico City, May 21.-Reports re-
ceived to-day that all are safe In the
most isolated sections indicate that the
modification Of the country is proceeding
even more rapidly than was expected
Measures were taken TO obtain un-
usually rapid dissemination of the news
Of the acceptance of peace terms by
Madero. the resignation of Diaz and
Corral and Diazs departure from the
country by the focal authorities. Rep
resentatives Of Madero caused posters
bearing the tdings TO be distributed
and read to iliterates by couriers.
There seems TO be a full appreciation
lv the new clements in control Of the
government Of the high necessity of re-
storing tranquility without delay, as
much for the effect outside of Mexico
as for internal we'll being. All disorder
in the capital has ceased. The first
vital result Of peace will be the resump.
ton OF railway communication, espe-
ciallv on the National lines. which. on
account Of preponderance of mileage,
suffered more proportionately than the
independent; roads. The situation af-
focting the National railways has un-
duly alarmed bond and share holders in
the United states and abroad, owing
20 exaggerated reports of damage. In
an official statement this morning to
the Tribune correspondent c. r. Hud-
son. the vice-president. shows that only
IL per cent Of the total mileage is now
out of operation. Repairs are proceed
ing. and if not interfered with, all lines
will be in operation within Week
Some sections are not damaged. but
merely are in the hands Of rebels, who
refused to permit trains TO run. The
damage sustained by the National lines,
aside from the loss of earnings. is not in
excess Of $4,000 in gold according TO
an unofficial estimate. The change in
administration should not affect the
management OF the merger lines, as,
according 10 the agreement between the
financing the merger, operation of the
lines must be left in expert and COM
petent hands.
