'Porflrio Diaz, to whom during thirty years all Mexico has paid deference, secretly left the capital at 2 o'clock this morning.

Only a few friends whom he trusted followed him to the station. He was bound for Vera Cruz to take ship for Spain. In the distance he could hear the voices of enthusiastic celebrants who were acclaiming the new President, Francisco Leon de la Barra, and shouting "Viva Madero." So carefully were the arrangements made for his departure that details could not be confirmed until this afternoon. Secrecy was due less to apprehension of a popular outburst here than to a desire that he reach Vei-a Cruz without the fact being known to marauding bands along the route. OB8CURE ROUTE CHOSEN.

Travel between here and the seaport usually is over the Mexican Railway, a standard-gauge line, with modern equipment. i Rails along this route, however, frequently have been removed of late by bandits, who were determined that Diaz, for reasons best known to should not leave the capital They are reported to have harbored the idea that Diaz would follow the precedent of Other Latin-American Presidents and carry the national funds with him. There is auother railroad to the coast, a narrow-gauge affair, owned by the Going Up WORLD-FAMED CONEY ISLAND DEVASTATED BY MORNING FIRE. government Taking It for granted that Diaz would take the more luxurious Tne News inlltfilms Mornings route, the bandits have not molested it. For this reason, the narrow-gauge was Chosen by the former President tor his trip, Vera cruz line censored.

The general should have reached Vera Cruz during the afternoon, but whether he has done so is not generally known. Newspaper correspondents at Vera Cruz long since gave up attempts to transmit Information over the Fed-' eral lines, particularly wEen their information had to do with news which the government wished to remain unpublished. Presumably De la Barra and the higher governmental officials' have been informed, but their lips are sealed.

OAKLAND, May 20. Exclusive Dispatch. The memory of Gen. John Charles Fremont, the "Pathfinder of the who figured in story and history for half a century while the Pacific' empire was yet unbuilt, was; greatly honored by the State of California today. The oc casion was the unveiling and dedication' of a magnificent bronze bust of the old pioneer.

The ceremonies were conducted by Johnson, Mayor Mott of Oakland, President Wheeler of the University of California, members of the university faculty, of the State Supreme bench and other State and city officials. Tne buest was a gift from the senior graduating class of the John C. Fremont High School. JOAQUIN MILLER. ORATOR.

Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sierras, one of the closest friends of the Pathfinder, was orator the day. He was followed by the speakers already mentioned. Their remarks dealt with the big results that have followed throughout the West generally since Fremont pioneered the way. 1 The idea-of presentlrtg the Fremont bust came from Joaquin Miller, whose world-known aerie, "The Heights," is on the hills Immediately north of the High School. The poet of the Sierras about a year ago sent a scathing letter in his typical English, criticising the faculty because there' was not even a picture or bust or memento or any kind of Gen.

John C. Fremont in the magnificent school which bears his name, Joaquin Miller inveighed against the absence of such memento, "to the man who made so much of the early history of the Golden State." The graduating class at once decided to follow the poet's lead. Sculp? tors were invited to submit plana ana specifications and Mrs. Gertrude Boyle Kanno, one of the best-known woman sculptors In the United States, offered the most acceptable model. BUST COSTS NEARLY $1000.

The graduating class found In would require nearly a thousand dollars to properly Install the bust of Fremont so they at once proceeded to rehearse for a college play as a means of raising the money. This was followed by several entertainments, theater parties and a moonlight boat ride on San Francisco Bay. The bust of Gen. Fremont 1 one-third larger than life size and Is mounted on a granite pedestal eight feet high. Its location is on a hlch crest overlooking the school ground.

Mrs. Gertrude Boyle Kanno, the sculptor used as her model a number of oil paintings of Gen. Fremont in Ban Francisco In the wooly days of 1849-61. She was also guided by the personal recollections of Joaquin Miller, who has pronounced it a perfect representation In every detail of Gen. Fremont.

Edward H. Harrl-roan, America's richest woman, is to be the founder of a great university In the. West as a glorious monument to the memory of her husband. It became known today that Mrs. Harriman, casting about for some means of disbursing her great fortune in a way that would be of benefit to the people of the country, had decided upon the establishment of an institution of learning.

Harriman University. Speculations as to the exact location of the Harriman University favor Southern California. Mrs.

Harriman has not divulged her plans In this respect except to say that the Institution will, be on Pacific Coast. It has been assumed that either Nevada or California would stand the best chance of securing the great foundation, but this is only conjecture.

A more dreary leave-taking could scarcely be Imagined.

Rain had fallen earlier in the night and by the time the former President emerged from his house the air was chilly. He was closely muffled, and to aid in the disguise, a borrowed automobile was used. The route to San Lazaro station had been mapped out over unfrequented streets. By a prearranged plan at he last moment, polIceN were scattered along the line. At certain points the close friends of the former Chief including those who are to accompany him across the Atlantic, fell in behind his limousine.

PILOT TRAIN RUN8 AHEAD. Three trains were used, the first acting as a pilot. The Diaz special followed, and some time later a third train followed by a detachment of the Twenty-fifth Infantry set out. The cars of the special were occupied aa follows: First car Gep. and Mrs.

Diaz, Mrs. Romero Rublon de Terresa, Col. Porflrio Diaz, a son; Lieut, Lorenzo Ellzaga, and their families. Second car Gen. Fernando Gonzales, Manuel Gonzales, Col.

Santa Cruz, MaJ. Espinosa Rondero. Third car Francisco S. Garcia, Ignaclo de la Garlta, and a kitchen crew. The trains ran without orders, to prevent the rebels along the line picking up news from the wires.

SAILING DATE A CONJECTURE. Just when, or on what ship, Gen; Diaz will sail is a matter of conjecture. The French ship Espagne was due to leave Vera Cruz yesterday, but may have been held at the disposal of the party from Mexico City. A Spanish liner, the Manuel Calvo, is schedule to weigh anchor tomorrow, sailing via Havana to Barcelona. A German ship, on which the Diaz party recUy reserved staterooms, sails next Wednesday.

The reservations have not been eanceled. Gen. Diaz undoubtedly will make bis home in Spain, probably at Madrid. During the recent centennial King Alfonso conferred a title upon him and made him an honorary general in the army, Senora Diaz was made a lady-In-waltlng to the Spanish Queen. Gen.

Diaz speaks only Spanish, and outside of Mexico he would find the most congenial surroundings in Spain. DE LA BARRA'S The inauguration of Senor de la Barra as provisional President was a very brief affair, occupying but ten minutes. To spectators it seemed he had scarcely moved down Avenlda Cinco de Mayo, with his escort, before he was on his way back to the national palace, his carriage smothered with flowers. The oath was administered by the President of the Chamber of Deputies. The provisional President stood with his band extended and repeated the oath.

It is not the custom in Mexico to use the Bible In taking the oath, nor Is the name of the Deity used. A portion of the oath reads: THE OATH Of OFFICE. "I promise, without any reservation whatsoever, to keep and see to the ir.anino- nf the nolitlcat constitution of the United States, of Mexico, with its Awry 1 additions and amendments, the reform laws, those laws depending thereon, and to discharge loyally and patriotically the office of provisional President of the republic which by law devolves upon me, having as my sole aim and object the weir are ana prosperity oi tne union. To this the president of the chamber replied: "If you do so, the nation will reward you; if you do not, it will call you strictly to account." CHEERS GREET DE LA BARRA. Those present remained slandlng while the oath was administered.
