The Carraiiza government is taking steps to nip a new revolution In the bud. Generals Salazar, Arroyo and Caraveo are among the 150 suspects arrested In Chihuahua City, according to today's s-dvices. They are held for investigation of a reported pi t by a new party, "the Ix'saiihlas," who are said to be backed by Mexican exiles and American in-tere.-"is dealing intervention. An offic.ai in close touch with Mexi can affairs statel that United K:ates secret s-.-rvice men are watching rtvo lulioi ary igents here. Americans who crossed the river at Juarez today were carefully scruti nized and questioned by Carranza of ficials, who declared Americans are uctive in the alleged revolutionary plot. Precautions Are Taken. Precautions were taken at Juarez ar.d Chihuahua City to guard against a mutiny in the Carranzista garrisons. According to official authority, the re cent defection of Colonel Mariano Tames in Juarez was an outcropping of the projected revolt. Tne "l,eKalistas" are a party of ; wealthy Mexican exiles, many residing in ios Angeles, San Antonio and other ; American cities, whose legal claims to I great areas and mineral riches in I Mexico are endangered by Carranzista reforms.

Washington, Aug. 12. (I. N. 8.) Thirty thousand national guardsmen, all that remain in the mobiliza'ion camps of the country, have been or dered to the Mexican border as fast as they can be equipped and transpor ta'lon for them can be obtained, the war department announced today. The order, it was learned, was is sued three days ago, but news of it was suppressed until today. Acting under it. the South Carolina guards men and probably militia from other states also ar now tn rout to the concentration camps on the frontier. Officials of the war department ex plained the mobilization was to carry out fully the objects of the national mobiliration as ordered by President Wilson and further to give the guards men the experience under semi-war condition. Reports to the state department, however, show that the border states of Mexico are in a pitiful economic condition, and that the situation for that reason and because of the in creased numbers Of lawless bands op erating, threatens to result in a new revolution which would halt the nego tiations between the L'nited States and Carranza. .
