Washington, Sept. 28.-The striking
| developments in the Mexican situation
were the breaking of all telegraphic
communication between the United
| States and the interior of Mexico and
| orders by Secretary of War Garrison
| to General Funston not to withdraw
| the American troops from Vera Cruz
within the next ten days.
Explaining the new move of the var
| department in the face of recent or
ders for the troops to move out OF
Vera Cruz, Secretary Garrison said the
| order to General Funston is the result
Of the delay that has taken place in
| the adjustment of details incident to
| the transfer of funds at the custom
| house at Vera Cruz.
Washington, Sept. 2S.-Definite in,
| structions were sent by Secretary OF
War Garrison to General Funston, in
command of the American forces at
| Vera Cruz, not to make any prepare
tons to leave the Mexican port for ct
least ten days. The government here
has decided not to take any steps
toward the evacuation Of Vera Cruz
for this period, as it is thought that
| 1t will take at least that long for au-
thentic information concerning the
Villa revolt to reach Washington.
Secretary Garrison explained that
no indications of the extent or gravity
of the new revolution has reached
here and that it is impossible to make
any plans concerning the latest devel'
opment in the Mexican situation until
