The number of men asking release from service on the plea that they have dependent relatives has not been made public, but it was said today that the requests were coming in hundreds. From the state organizations many are yet being dropped because of physical defects and in some cases the disposi- tion of those failing to qualify is prov ing puZzling. Held at the hospital here there are eight negroes. They came here as members of the Eighth Illinois, "a negro regiment. They were not mus tered in at Springfield and the medical examiner here rejected them.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The in- formal negotiations for the settle ment of issues between the United States and General Carranza are un- derstood to have advanced long step today when Acting Secretary Polk and Eliseo Arredondo. Mexican ambassador designate, held their third conference since General Carranza's proposal for a diplomatic adjustment was received and accepted
 Although both MT. Polk and the ambassador declined to say what mat ters were under discussion, there were indications that the conversa- tions had passed into the definite stage where specific questions were being formulated for probable sub mission to a joint international com mission.
 The commission plan of settling differences between the two countries is provided for in the treaty of 1S4S. Unofficial advices from Mexico City have indicated that General Carranza | favored resort to il in the present case and MT. Polk is believed to have acceeded to the suggestion des- ! bite the belief of the state depart ment officials that more could be accomplished through continuance of the informal conferences with MT, Arredondo.
 President Wilson discussed the question with some of his advisers today and the fact that no interrup- tion of the Polk -Arredondo confer ence resulted was taken as an indi- cation that the president was satis- fled with the trend of the negotia- tions
 General Carranza's note proposing d diplomatic settlement narrowed the issue to two specific points. the anxi- ety of the United States for protee- tion of it's frontier, and the feeling 1 of the de facto government that presence of the United States troops in Mexico menaced friendly relations Secretary Lansing's reply did not gc into the points to be negotiated bu it is assumed that General Carranza' definition of the issues is in the mair satisfactory to the United States il it does not predicate MexicRn actior against the proposition of the i'm mediate withdrawal of the American troops.

General Matias Ramos. directing the government forces operating against Villista bandits in southern Chihua- hua. is redisposing his troops prepar atory to a quick, powerful drive which, it is hoped, will break the out laws power in that section, General Jacinto Trevino, military commander of the northeast, announced tonight.
 Reports from General Ramos. who has established his base of operations at Parral, said that he had the main bandit forces practically surrounded south of Sombreretillo and expected to force d fight as soon as he had his local commands disposed to his lik- ing
 Following an inspection trip to Ro- sario, he despatched heavy reinforce ments from Parral for the Rosario garrison. General Ramos reported that l he was moving these troops with a view to future operations and added that a larger garrison at Rosario is l necessary because of the heavy losses suffered by the Carrancist- forces at Corralitos, San Salvador and Cerro Blanco.
 General Ernesto Garcia, commanding | the Parral garrison, also reported to 1 General Trevino today that all danger 1 of a successful new attack upon the town by the bandits had vanished with
 the arrival of General Ramos troops. These he said, have repaired the rail-
 road and telegraph lines from Jiminez i to Parral, which the bandits destroyed l in several places on, their retreat. | General Trevino announced that re-
 ports from all other points in his dis
 trict, including Tampico, indicated l quiet. He discussed also the possibil ity of assigning some of the large forces of the troops at his command
 as garrisons in the mining centers of
 the state that the mining and smeltins
 industries may shortly resume oper-
 ations.
 A declaration that he and all other l members of the Carranza government are mutually united with the firm de- termination of establishing order in Mexico was made today by General
 Jacinto Trevino. military commander
 of the northeast, in a statement given to the Associated Press.
 General Trevino said he made the statement because he had received pri- Ivate information that part of the
