 Are Leaving for Safety.

The City of Mexico, Aug. 31.-
 With the negotiations between the
 United States and New Mexico look
 ing to a continuation of peace at a
 standstill. Mexico has issued orders
 for a new disposition of the troops
 and for the military training of all
 able-bodied men in that part of the republic under control of the cen tral government.
 There also will be general shift ing of hadquarters to cities along both coasts and the northern from tier.
 General Robles, who has been in command of operations in the south against the Zapatat forces, has been transferred to Acapulco on the west coast. Gen. Joaquin Maas will move from Puebla to Vera Cruz. Gen. Jose Mier will go from Guadala- iara to Mazanillo. Gen. Eugenio Rascon will be sent to PrOgresO, on cado will be transferred from Chi huahua to Juarez.
 Orders to Generals Secret.
 It is announced that to each gen. eral has been sent instructions of importance, but their character is not revealed.
 The War Department, in eXpla- nation of the changes, says that the revolutionary conditions no longer demand the presence of the men in the interior and that their new po- sitions will enable them better to| guard against Smugglers.
 Recently orders were issued to' every governor and jefe politico to. organize and drill all able-bodied men under their respective iuris- diclion for the ostensible purpose of taking part in parades Septem- bcr l6th the national independence day.
 The minister of the interior, Doctor Urrutia has notified every planter in the republic to arm and equip for service ten mon. This is for the purpose of defending indi- vidual properties against the ban dis, it being pointed out that the revolutionary conditions had so far abated that the only menace to properly was by bandits.
 Street Gamins in Arms.
 The streets of the capital are daily traversed by marching stu dents armed with rifles under off cers of the regular army. Not in frequently whole armies of boys from l2 to l5 years old are seen, and occasionally there passes a of poorly dressed young sters typical of the bootblack, news boy element They have been caught by the wave of enthusiasm, but the parading students, while protesting willingness have been left little choice since the govern mental order that students in all government schools shall have mili- tary training. The minister of foreign affairs, l Senor Gamboa, still is awaiting a re- ply from the American envoy, MT. ! Lind. to his last note, but if there have been any further exchanges, the fact has not been admitted by either the foreign office or the em- Dassy. Many telegrams and letters General Huerta on the patriotic and Virila stand he has taken before the colossus of the north continue to be published.
 Americans Hurrying Out.
 Refugees from interior points are to arrive here. The trains tonight went to Vera Cruz with heavier American passenger list than any night since the warn ing from Washington for Ameri- cans to leave Mexico. Consul Gen eral Shanllin's office was visited by an unbrOken stream of Americans seeking information regarding the warning and some asking for trans portation. To all Consul Shanklin has shown his instructions and inn pressed upon them that Washing tons warning is to to leave att once
 Hundreds of Amercans of the bet ter class are availing themselves of free transportation. Many others, by no means paupers, but caught short of funds, with no market for anything they may have for sale, are forced to consider the proposi- tiOn.
