To A Point Overlooking
His Eyes on the Feast
(Spoeial Correspondence of the Asso

Yorrae, Durango, Mex., Mar. 20.
General Villa and his army of twelve
thousand rebels Friday invested the
Federal stronghold of Torre?n. They
occupied the environs of the city with
out, opposition and tho day was spent
in wheeling und dragging flald pieces,
into place to shell tho Fcdcr.il tronch

tho city his position ls regarded as

Bridges to be Built
Villa's .progress liss been slow be
cause it was necessary to. prepare tho
tracks and bridges.' Early Friday,
however, the road wa* upon Front Ycr
iiio, where ins troops have been mo
bilizing, to Ma pim i and Boremjillo,
which ara only a -few miles north of
Torre?n, and virtually are suburbs of j
that city.
At these two cities the troops de
trained and formed in columns.
There was little loss or life in plung
ing into the desert Great tank wa
gons laden with the water supply,
which haa been Villa's greatest prob
lem' .rumbled in the trait. The lina
of the few foreigners in the arm|*
wore cracked and swollen from tho
heat and alkali dust, but the Mexicans,
trained to such conditions, fared bet
ter. In this way the outskirts of Tor
re?n were roached.
There was no opposition and General
Villa dsclared there had been none
since he began to repair the railroad
south of Jlmlnez. The Federals con
tented themselves with strewing all
possible obstructions except bullets
In hts way. There was an occasional
exchange of shots between outposts,
but nothing even assumed the dignity
of a skirmish.
