Mexico City, Aug. 14.-War Min ister Oregon announced this after noon that plans for a general insur- rection in Mexico had been placed in the hands of provisional presi- dent Carranza and that over 800 ar rests have already been made.

 Minister Obregon stated that the tip on this new movement was received last Wednesday. Within 10 hours the plot had been investigated and twelve of Carranza's most trust ed officers had been quickly dis patched to certain states and arrests were ordered so quickly and the ringleaders were ir prison within such short time that the insurrection had collapsed so suddenly as to cause the greatest of cOnsternatiOn.

Hindenburg stated must be held to the last ditch.
 PETROGRAD, Aug. 14.-The Aus trians are retreating before General Letchitzky and the lines held by them along the stripa river since last September, almost a year, have crumbled and it is officially an- nounced that General Rothmer is now in full retreat, The retreat is not in one place but takes in the entire front of the Austrian army.
 General Letchitzky is pressing al- most at the heels of the retreating Austrian army and giving them no time to form a possible line for con- centration purposes.
 General Scherbatchioff is closing in on General Rothmer's left flank and this afternoon General Letch- itzky had made new movement and was closing in on the right flank.
 It is believed here that both gen. ererals are attempting to cut the re- treating armies in two or else at- tempting to capture the entire com mand.
 During the past three days Gen. eral SakharOff has captured 15,s0l Austrians on their right flank; Gen. Scherbatchcioff has taken 56,421 in the center and Gen. Letchitsby has captured 10,621. With this S0,000 odd prisoners great quantities of munitions of war have been cap tured including a large number of high calibre guns.
 The rout is said to be complete and the Austrians are dwindling in number until a mere remnant of the great force will remain if they are successful in eluding the pursuing Russians.
