 Torreon, April 2. Gen. Venustiano Carranza, Supreme
 Chief Of the Coratltutionalists In this moment the remnants of the federals are leaving Torreon in flight. After eleven days of terrible fighting, in which we lost 1.500 wound ed and 800 killed, and the federals, from the enormous number of bodies burned, must have had over 1000 killed and their number of wounded 1 am unable to estimate. Our forces have full possession or Torreon. regret to announce that among the wounded were Gen. Robles and Gen.

SEALING FLEETS
 SUFFER IN STORM
MANY VESSELS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN LOST IN NORTH
 ATLANTIC STORM.
Death Travelled in the Gale Tha1 Wrecked Many staunch Little Yes sells of the SeaIers.

St. Johns, Newfoundland, April D. Death travelled in a gale that over took the sealing fleets last Tuesday, The steamer Newfoundland lost prob ably fifty of her crew, while as many more, it is feared will be maimed as result of exposure.
 Alarm is felt for the steamer South ern Cross, with crew of ITO men, which has not been reported since she passed Cape Pine inbound Tues day morning. The men lost were far from their ships killing seals when the storm with blinding snow swoop- ed down. They were exposed for IS hours before assistance arrived and in that time many succumbed
 The Newfoundland was one of fleet of fifteen ships carrying more than 2000 men scattered among the ice floes near Belle Isle strait. The crews were on the floes hunting seals and the hunt had taken them from four ot six miles from their ships. When the blizzard came the crews of other steamers managed to regain their vessels, but the floes on which the Newfoundland men were hunt ing drifted away from the main body of ice and when darkness fell that night not one had returned. The ships crew numbered 150 men, of whom 120 were on the ice. Capt. N esley Kean, his officers, engineers, | stokers and cooks had remained on board.
 The weather cleared today and Capt. Kean signaled the steamers Belleventura and Stephane of the loss of his men. These two vessels being fast and powerful, smashed i their way into the floes in search of the missing men. Late today the ] captain of the Belleyentura sent wire less wessages here saying he bad picked up thirty survivors snd num- Der of bodies. He estimated that forty men had perished.
 He said thirty were unaccounted | for.
 4 message from the Steopano to- day said that thirty-fve survivors hal been found and three bodies, but there is doubt as to whether she re ferred only to those picked up by her. The wireless of the Believer
 tura was working poorly and her messages were confused. The mum
 Der of fatalities wi llbe in doubt at least until she reaches here, probably tomorrow. At duck another blizzard had sprung up and there was little
 hope for any of the hunters who al

CHANCELLOR HENDERSON WILL HAND DOWN DECISION IN
 BASEBALL CASE TODAY.
CONTRACTS ARE NOT PUT IN
President Dreyfuss and Manager Fred Clarke of the Pittsburg Pirate, Are Here Awaiting the Decision of the Controversy in Chancery Court

Arguments ended late yesterday afternoon in the injunction proceed ings whereby Howard Camnitz, agent of the Federal league, had been re- strained from enticing or interfering with Pittsburg ball players in this city. There was evidence taken as to the main issue in the case, and the arguments were ended yesterday afternoon late, when court adjourn ed until 9 o'clock this morning.
 The majority of the Pittsburg play. CTS left yesterday for Tulsa. Okla, where some games are scheduled. but President Dreyfuss and Manager Fred Clarke remained over to await the decision in the injunction pro ceedings.
 Just how near the contracts of the Pittsburg club with it's players came to being a matter of open informa- ton in the progress of the case yes terday morning will probably never be known. President Dreyfuss was on the stand, and he took from his pocket the large official envelope in which the originals of all the players contracts were enclosed. Just before they were to be presented to the court, Attorney Ellis G. Kinkead of Cincinnati, special counsel for the Pittsburg club, asked the court for definite ruling as to whether the contracts could be submitted to the court without opening them for the inspection of the opposing counsel
 Judge Henderson, who is hearing the case, was in doubt about the mat ter. He did not like the idea of hay ing any instruments submitted to the court without having them open to the inspection of counsel. He did not rule that he would refuse to ac- cept the contracts, neither did he say he would protect them from in spection.
 Taking the more certain route then the attorneys for the pittsburg club relied their case on the fact that contracts had been proven in the evi- dence of Mr. Dreyfuss, and they rest ed their case in that respect.
 At the outset of the case there was new counsel added. Ellis c. Kin kead of Cincinnati, and James A. Gray and w. H. Rector of Little Rock joined Attorneys Rector and Sawyer for the Pittsburg Club. Judge Rob ert Mooney joined George Whiting ton and Richard Ryan for Camnitz.
 Baseball history was recited in in teresting form in the examination of the Witness. President Dreyfuss was the first called. The witness told of being the president of the Pittshurg club, and that in preparing players for the work of their contracts it was necessary they should have spring training. The 32 men here with the club were under contract. The club

Gen. Carranza Gives News to the World from Juarez, Having Receiv- ed Definite information of the Fall of Torreon from Villa.

Juarez, April 2-Torreon fell com pletely into the hands of the rebels at 1O;2O o'clock tonight, according to announcement made here tonight by Gen. Carranza.
 The news first was announced to the world when the bugler in front of Carranza's residence blew the stacatto notes of victory. The paen Carranza said was sounded here even before it was heard in Torreon, Villa delaying out of compliment to his chief.
 The meager bulletins excitedly an- nouncing victory after the bIoodiest series Of battles known to modern Mexico said that Villa captured large number of prisoners and that the fleeing federal remnant was be- ing pursued :. Whether Velasco, the federal com | mander, was captured was not stat I cd. There was heavy fighting today. it is understood, and the end came when, after capturing the three re- maining barracks held i'll the city

 barracks, while the troops in the can l yon, which forms an efress from the hill-girt city. were able to escape. The campaign against the federals' stronghold of Torreon, the main ob- | ject of the rebel campaign, began sud denly two weeks ago after Gen. Villa had spent months in making the most careful preparations.
 The rebel loss in this campaign is said to be more than 1000 in killed and wounded. Trains loaded with wounded have been arriving daily at Chihuahua for the last week. The rehel commander moved with a rapidity hitherto unknown in Mex ican warfare. He worked his men  in shifts, and as one shift became exhausted, he sent fresh hosts against the enemy.
 A number of small towns of lesser importance in 8 military sense fell
 first, Mapimi, Noe and Sacramento. where a bloody battle was fought. This opened a path for the main at | tack.
 | Next came Lerdo and Gomez Pa lacio, populous suburbs of Torreon, and all three connected by belt line of street cars. Lerdo was not defend ed, but it took three main assaults in which the rebelas lost heavily to | take Gomez Palacio.
 In the final attack on the city troops were withdrawn from Lereo, where upon the federals occupied it and ana other sanguinary conflict was neces- sary to retake it.

FLORIDA RESORT
 VISITED BY FIRE
FIVE RESORT HOTELS, COURT HOUSE AND MANY RESlDEN-
 GEES ARE DESTROYED.
Two Visitors Injured in Making Their Escapes from the Burning Hotels at St. Augustine.

St. Ausustne, Fla, April 2-Higto. ric St Augustine. the oldest city in the United States. early today was swept by fire which left in it's wake the serious injury of two winter wis itors, the destruction of records and curios dating back to the days of Spanish rule in the sixteenth cen tury and a property loss estimated tonight at $i00,000.
 Winter visitors from the north in five tourist hotels which were de- stroye dfled into the streets before daybreak, many of them leaving valu- able personal belongings to be burn ed. Several of the guests escaped clad only in their sleeping apparel. The personal loss of visitors in the fire has not yet been determined.
 Rescue work performed by the em- ployes of the Florida House where the fire originated, is believed to have saved many lives. Going through the smoke filled halls. they quickly arous- cd sleeping guests and aided them in finding their way out of the burn ing building.
 Notwithstanding efforts by the House employees, about 25 guests who were slow in being aroused were res cued by fremen by the use of lad ders. Although all persons remain ing in the building were warned not to jump hremen were unsuccessful in preventing two persons from Jump ing from the second floor of the Flor ida Hause to the ground
 They were Miss Alice M. Smith. Amherst, Nova Scotia, and W. F, Gid dings of Granby. Quebec. Miss Smith sustained an injured spine and brok- en leg. Her condition tonight was reported by physicians at a local hos rital to be critical. One of MT Gid dings' ankles was broken and he was otherwise hurt, but physicians tonight said he would recover. Several other persons received minor injuries.
 As soon as the extent of the fire became apparent. Company of the Florida national guard was called out. They formed fire lines to keep interference away from the firemen in their efforts to stop the flames and later guarded the ruins of the burned buildings to prevent possible attempts at footing.
 Besides the Florida House the oth' CT hotels destroyed by the fire, which started shortly after [ o'clock this morning, were the Munsen House the Clairmont Hotel, the Central Ho tel and the Atlantic Hotel.
 The St. Johns county court house which contained many historic ole records, also was destroyed. The records, however. are believed to have been saved, as they were in safes These are as yet in the ruins. The Vedder House, one of the most fa nous landmarks of the city and II which was kept the collection of tn' St. Augustine Historical Society, als' Twas destroyed.
