WHOLE PACIFIC
 FLEET SAILING
 DOWN WEST COAST
Biggest Naval Demonstration In Pacific Annals. May Blockade Ports From Cuay- mas To Salina Cruz
(By Review Leased Wire.)

] SAN DIEGO. June 20.-With the de- porture from this port tonight and at daybreak tomorrow. of a squadron of armored cruisers and fiotilla or tor pedo boat destroyers. the greatest naval demonstration in the history of the Pacific Fleet with the west coast of Mexico as is objectice. will be recorded.
 Not since the inception of the Mex ican troubles has there been such a powerful fleet sent to the western Mexican littoral for patrol purposes, nor has an American admiral ever taken the precaution to so place his fighting ships that within a few days after an outbreak of hostilities. he could effectually blockade every west coast Mexican port from Guaymas to Salina Cruz.
 When the armored cruiser South Dakota sails from Bremerton. Wash inst5n, tomorrow morning to join the fleet under Admiral Winslow. and Rear Admiral Fullam. it will mark the first time on record that every warship on the Pacific coast in actual commission or in first reserve has been desDatched for duty in foreign waters. Steaming at speed of sixteen knots an hour the armored cruisers Pittsburgh. flagship of Rear Admiral Fullam. and the Colorado left late today for Manzanillo.
 At : o'clock tomorrow morning the torpedo boat destrOyers Hull. flagship of Lieut.. w. w Bradley. fiotilla com mander: Hopkins and Triyton will sail south. The Hull will stop at La PaZ. and the Hopkins at San Jose de Cabo, before proceeding to join Admiral Winslow at Mazatlan or Guaymas. The Truxton probably will proceed for Topolobampo.
 One Of the foremost incidents of the fleet mobilization occurred at o'clock this morning when the destroyer Hop kins steamed at full speed for En- senada on orders from Admiral Wins low The Hopkins made the IA miles to Ensenada and return in fif- teen hours returning to San Diego at 3 D. m. Lieut. J. X. Murphy. com manding the Hopkins reported quiet as prevailing at the Lower California seaport and that there was no reason to believe that any anti-American outbreaks would occur The Hopkins was placed at the dosposal of Ameri- can residents for passage to San Diego but none accepted the offer

MEXICO CITY. June % - Many Americans left Mexico City this morning in special cars for Vera Cruz. Cars have been sent to Quad alajara. Guanajuato. Puebla and oth- CT cities requesting Americans to come to the capital for the purpose Of taking trains for Vera Cruz or to reach other coast ports directly, if that be possible.
 The Mexican foreign office today again gave assurances that no ob- stacles would be put in the way of Americans desiring to leave the coun try. Americans have been treated with courtesy by the officials having to do with the transportation system but the shortage of rolling stock is making difficult the carrying of those who desire to leave.
 James Rodgers. representative of the United States government before the defacto government in Mexico, met a committee of Americans to- day and outlined arrangements for obtaining sufficient cars to accommo- date them. The Pachuca Mining Co. has offered a special of II box cars and caboose and if the officials will permit this to run, a great majority of the American colony will leave for Vera Cruz tomorrow.
 The city is absolutely quiet and there have been no. hostile demon strations of any kind against Ameri- cans.

FL PASO, June 20.-In quarters which have been in possession of all the facts relating to domestic condi- tions in Mexico. it is asserted that the Mexican campaign will be decid- ed by the food situation. Because of shortage of rations and curtailed transportation facilities. it was said that General Carranza would be un- able to maintain force of ten thou sand men at any point for a period of three weeks. and that there was not enough forage to take care of a body Of eight thousand cavalry for one week.
 In view of this. it is believed the Mexicans would have to operate in comparatively small attachments.
 Enough rolling stock has been gathered in Juarez to transport the entire 'garrison if it becomes advis- able to move southward.
