New_Haven, Conn., March 5.—Pres- ident Mellen of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Raflroad com- pany was authorized by the directors at their last meeting to make the ar- rangements of the lease to the Bos- ton anel Albany of the lines of the system north of Westfield, Mass., and the terms of the lease are now being prepared. The lease will probably be based, it is stated, upon an actual val- uation of the 66 miles of tracks and the other properties north of West- field, owned by the lesser corporation and not less than five per cent. to be paid by theé lessee company. The motive of the lease on the part ot the New Haven is understood to be a part of its general policy of di- vesting itself of a number of outlying properties, as in the case of the east- ern Connecticut trolleys, especially when the transfer is to friendly in- terests like the Boston and Albany, now jointly leased to the New Haven and the New York Central. Holyoke, Mass,, the main point affected by the lease, is already reached by the Bos- ton and Maine and the New Haven system. In general the lines of the lat- ter north of Westfield are regarded by New Haven officers as in a_situation for larger development under Boston and Albany than under New Haven control.

The measure includes all persons now under arms against the adminis- tration, or in other manner fomenting a revolution, providing they put thems- selves In accord with the government within fifteen days from the promul- gation of the decree. This is the same measure of clem- ency so often offered by the Madero | administration but without result. It is generally believed that it will find more acceptance now, backed as it is by the firm hand and warlike meth- ods of President Huerta. Already #fty men of the forces under the notorious “Tuerto” Morales, one of the flercest of the Zapitasta lead- ers, have accepted amnesty as pre- viouSly offered, surrendering the arms upon payment being made to them of fifty pesos each. These men marched through the streets of the capital today and at- tracted much attention by their ban- dit-like appearance, the variety of their costumes and the quantity of ®rma- ment each carried. They were a meek looking lot when disbanded, stripped of their belts, cartridges and pistols, wandering mystified by the sights of the city. Sonora Trooos Burn Bridges.
