The rebel net about Torre?n virtual

Herrera wishes to throw a bridge and
the construction of wbicb be began
immediately on retirement of the en

400.
At other points the Federal advance
guards retreated perceptably, burn

Noe the small railroad simps were
burned.
Yilla Elated.
General Villa was elated beyond |
measure, and when he took posses
sion of a telephone wire which work
ed into the city of Torre?n, he lost
no time in calling up the office ot Ula
Federal commander. General .Refugio
Velasco. An officer of tho latter's staff
answered tho call.
"I am coming to have supper with!
you." General Villa began.
?"Who are you?" inquired the Fed
"I am aa 5H ailed Francisco
Villa," replied the chieftain.
"Well, come whenever you are rea
dy," came the answer. ,.
Villa talked from thia city which he
took at a gallop; and .without resis
tance. Hie scouts brought word that
the. Federals had made a poor Job of
wrecki.;? ihr. railroad ?.?aoks..
Thia camp -where Villa has a tre
mendous store cf ammunition, ls Just

TORRKO* WILL UK THE
> TUBNtlttt POINT OP WAR I
Washington. March 21.-The bat
tle of Torreon will be the turning I
point in tbe Mexican revolution, in tho
opinion of, high, administration offi
cials. Little official information to
day as to the prslimlnary skirmishes
waa at hand, but li Is believed that
within a few day* a battle will have
been fought whle* will Indicate clearly
the relative strength of the constitu
tionalist cause.
Tho presence at Vera Cruz at this
tima ot Charge O'Shaugbnessy and of
Charge Hohler, ot the United Sta'tea
embassay and British legation, re
spectively, ht official circles here is
taken to mean that the British gov
ernment ia" cobperatlng with the Uni
ted States in effort* to find a peace
ful settlement.
Discussions among Constitutional
ists here ot the possibility that Gen
oral Huerta, would retire in favor of
-Senor Portillo developed probability
that he would be acceptable to the
constitutionalists becauace of his af
filiation with the cl?rical - party.
Mr. O'Shaughnessy expects to re
turn to Mfcxlro City; In a few days, ac
cording to his dispatches to the state
department. HU telegrams make
mention of his iii health, but there
ls no suggestion, according to Mr.
Bryan of any contemplated resigna
tion. Retirement of Mr. O.Shaugh
enssoy at this tim? would be <3tp!ossat
ieally embarrassing, because tc ean?
another ?T*^;*^??T to Mexico In
his place might involve a recognition
of the Huerta govern? ?nt.
The trip of Hear Admiral Fletcher
to Mexico City was ?ot explained by
tho officials ;aare but generally lt ia
supposed th?t.'b? went to look after
tho recent shipment of arms for the

That Major Fierro will be charged
with the crime and punished is tho
expectation of many Mexicans here.
They explain General Villa's story of
a courtmartlal as an effort to shield
Fierro who is said to be his distant
relative. The Carranza. commission
however, is reported to bave declared
.its purpose of punishing Fierro de
spite Villa's effort to protect him. The
arrest of Fierro was reported from
Chihuahua but confirmation is now,

Secertsry Bryan today said that
whilo he had heard many reports of
the Benton killing, comment would

"The pressure was so gerat that
Prof. Hand became convinced that he

important to all tho colleges of tho

Anderson college would greatly suffer
along with other colleges if he should
abandon his present work.
In addition to this, Prof. Hand, urged
that tba lack of experience in col
