necessary to replace them with Fed
erals. Even should the government
wish to send the troops through
United States territory, however, 1t
would take at least two weeks to ar
range formalities necessary to gain
consent OF the Senate.
Although wire communication was
re-estabiished with chihuahua to-
day, the railroad Is still out OF COM

were reported in the Torreon dis

A 3O0-foot bridge on the Cahuilla
and Pacific railroad, l s miles ease of
Torreon, was burned and ten ranches
in the vicinity we're pillaged. The
pleadings Of women and children
refugees on passenger train, which
