Vera Cruz, April 27.-With the ex-
ception of the Pan-American Rail-
way, extending from Guatemala up

Tehuantepec road, General Huerta
now is operating with his own men
every railroad in Mexico without re.
gard to the rights OF foreigners. He
has driven away every foreigner. The
last road to be taken over was the
Tehuantepec Nacionai, connecting
the Pacific and Atlantic ports o.
Salina Cruz and Coatzacoalcos. This
property is owned Jointly by tbs gov
eminent and Lord Cowdray and has
been operated by Cowdray.
j. b. Boyd returned Sunday from
Coatzacoalcos, where he effected the
release OF all foreigners who had
been arrested under Huerta's order
and held at Rincon Antoni. the head
quarters OF the road. More than so
foreigners had been detained. inciud-

Chairman Stone of the senate com

bers of Congress generally would ap-
prove of the mediation efforts.
The adding of European influence
to the generally sympathetic attitude
which practically allied American
diplomats have assumed toward the
mediation idea, gave many admins
tration officials a confident feeling
that after all Huerta might be dis
posed to end the present crisis in n
manner satisfactory.
Advices received from many Off

Latin-American countries are almost

PRISONERS TO BE
MOVED FROM BORDER
Battle of Ojinaga Will be Trans
ferred to New Mexico.

Washington, April 27.-Orders
were issued by the war department
today transferring the Mexican pris-
oners held at Fort Bliss near Eel Paso.
to Fort Wingate, New Mexico. The
war department believed 1t necessary
to move the prisoners further from
the Mexican border in view of DOS
sible developments.
The third squadron of the 18th
cavalry now at Fort Meade, S. D.,
will be sent to Fort Wingate to guard
the prisoners
The Mexicans, soldiers and other
refugees have been neld at Fort Bliss
since they fled across the border
seeking refuge on American soil after
the battle OF Ojinaga. The defeated
federals, pursued by victorious Con
stitutionalists, crossed the Rio
Grande and were rounded up by
United States troops. The war de-
partment feared that so large a
colony Of Mexicans near the border
might excite the Mexicans across the
river and perhaps lead to an effort to
liberate the prisoners.
