El Paso, Texas. Aug. 5.--The 230
Mexican federal soldiers who have
been held in camp at Fort Bliss since
their capture at Naco, Ariz., several
months ago, when the rebels drove
them over the international line We're
removed today and taken west Au-
thortes at TT. Bliss declined to say
where they were going and maintain
ed much secrecy about the movement
but recently when General Leonard
Wood was in California, he made the
statement that arrangements were be-
ing made to remove all Mexican prls-
oners to San Diego where artillery
men could guard them. This would
relieve the cavalrymen from guard
duty and permit them to do patrol
work. There are some more of these
federal prisoners at Nogales, Ariz.,
and they will also be moved.
Mexican Consul Diebold confirmed
the report that the prisoners were
being taken to Fort Rosecrans San
Diego. California, and that the pris-
oners at Nogales, Ariz., We're also be-
ing removed there.
The secrecy that attended the move
ment of the troops was partly due to
the knowledge of rebel spies, but the
main reason is said to have been fear
of an injunction from the federal
court, as Attorney Fl. R. Gamble, OF
Ell Paso is now in Austin represent
ing the families of some of the men,
attempting to secure their release by
order of federal district Judge i. s.
Maxey.
The prisoners were slipped out of
Judge Maxeys jurisdiction, however,
before officers of the federal court at
Ell Paso learned of it today.

Parral and other mining
towns of northern Mexico was sent

ieve the money stringency in the |
