TRAINS SEARCHED
 BY MEXICAN TROOPS
AMERICAN RAILWAY ENGINEERS ARE FORBIDDEN TO LEAVE
 MEXICO CITY AS REFUGEES.

Vera Cruz, May 9.-Seven Ameri- cans arrived here today from Mexico City. They reported the situation quiet in the capital. They told of a Mexican lieutenant who came aboard the train near Orizaba and boasted that an American spy had entered the Mexican lines with two horses and been shot. It was inferred that he had reference to Orderly Parks, who has been missing since Wednes- day.
 The Mexican oGucers searched the train for Americans but did not inter fere with those from the capital, who included K. M. Vanzandt, banker, formerly of Ft. Worth, Texas When the officers found two or three rail road engineers among the refugees they declared the engineers would be too valuable if the Americans decided to move inland from Vera Cruz and took them off the train
