MEXICO GIVES WAY.

CLASH AGAIN AVERTED. PRISONERS TO BE FREED. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) WASHINGTON, June 29. An immediate break between the United States and the de facto Government of Mexico has been averted by the -compliance with America's demand for the release of 23 troopers wbo were cap-! tured in tbe fight at Carrizal. Whether war is prevented or merely postponed cannot be said. EL PASO, June 29. General Jacintho Trevino has ordered Americans taken prisoner and interned at Chihuahua City to be removed, with their arms and accoutrements, to Juarez, and there released. Our cables recently stated that the Germans were stirring np Mexico against the United States. The "New York Herald," in its issue of May 11, has evidence of it. It has received the original of a military order, which discloses that the German reservists in the United States were ordered to go to Mexico on the day of publication of the recall of the German Ambassador in Washington. The order, which was in German, was dated at New York on April 26, 1910. A translation of the order reads: — " You are, without any other consideration, to report at once to your superior, who will provide transportation and route for Juarez, Mexico. Within four days after you receive this map of route you will report in Juarez to tbe officer, whose name and addn&se will be given to yon on the day you leave. Your noncompliance with this order wfll place you in the position of being considered a deserter." The person who supplied this German military order to the "Herald" had torn the name of the signer off, leaving only the " By Order of the Grand General Staff of* the Army." Enough was left of the word "Major," which followed the signature to establish the rank of the officer issuing the order. The "Herald" remarks: — "The orders mean that Germans representing themselves as civilians, resident here, are in considerable numbers so much at command of their military superiors that they may be and are counted upon to obvy orders assembling them for the purposes of Germany on the American border or elsewhere the moment that the United States breaks with Germany." , •
