So carefully were the arrangements made for the deposed president's se- cret escape that the fact did not b come public until late today. Secrecy { was due less to apprehension of a popular outburst than to a desire to reach Vera Cruz before marauders along the routs could learn of the irip. Mexican Railroad Tracks Torn Up. Travel between Mexico City and Vera Cruz is usually over, the Mexican railroads a standard gauge line with modern equipment. But rails along this route have frequantly been re- moved of late by bandits. These ban- dits were determined that Diaz, for reasons best known to themselves, should not leave the capital. They are reported to have harbored the idea tha: Diaz would follow the precedents of | other Latin American preside: and carry the national funds with him. Traveled on Narrow Gauge. There is also a narrow gauge rail- road to the coast. Taking it for grant- ed that Di would take the more lux- urious route, the bandits did not mo- lest the marrow gauge road.
