WASHINGTON, August lit is posi-
lively denied at the War and Navy
Departments that any orders of warlike
nature have been issued. The movements
of the Galena, Vandalia, and Juniata, it
is asserted, have no reference to our
relations with Mexico. and no massing of
troops on the Rio Grande has been ordered.
There is no doubt, however, that these
departments are on the alert for contin-
gencies, and are clearing the decks for
action in case any action should become
necessary. Although troops have not
been moved yet in large masses the forces
In the Southwest are being put in readi-
ness for service, and all the available
ordnance in that part of the country is

hopeful of peaceful result. At the State
Department it is said that there is nothing
new which it would be proper to make

sought to be accomplished by this gov.

and, secondly. the renunciation of the
claim by Mexico of extra-territorial juris-
diction.

ter says that no serious trouble is at all
likely to arise between this country and
Mexico. " Neither country" he says,

case it is generally difficulL to get up
