of the south regarding the success or failure of troops under General Natera, the Carranza appointee, in attacking Zacatecas. From Natera officials reports had said the attack was progressing sue cessfully. while from other sources de- tails were given of Natera's route.
 General Villa in the meantime, has remained at Torreon, although ordered by Carranza to proceed to the assistance of Natera. Carranza officials today said Angeles. the constitutionalist secretary of war, left Torreon today with 5000 of Vil- las troops, including a full division of artillery. Natera had complained of lack of cannon. Villa remained today at Torreon, but was said to have begun general movement of his army toward Zacatecas.
 Was Carranza Bureau
 The international bureau at Juarez was instituted and sustained by Rafatel zu- baran, Carranza s cabinet minister who at present is representing the constitu- tionalist partF at Washington. The ques- ton of the supervlsorship of telegraph, heretofore service of national owner ship, long has been disputed between the Villa and Carranza clements. accord ing to authentic reports from Cullacan and Torreon. Colonel Ornelas, the Juarez commander, was a Villa appointee.
 Since press reports received from Mex leo City stating the constitutionalists were routed at Zacatecas were confirmed by private advices received here from the south, the constitutionalist officials have been silent. The announcement tonight by the information bureau that an im- portant bulletin was to be issued caused a general anticipation. which only was dampened by the unexpected display of martial power at Juarez
 Matter received over the telegraph at Huarez from correspondents with Villa has been subject to a dual censorship. that by the Villa officials at the front and by Carranza appointees, who took it on themselves to inspect all messages here before they were delivered.

 Tfe doors were closed and signs Thea tre Fur were posted half an hour be- fore the colonel arrived The police had plenty to do in keeping back disappoint- ed men and women, who waved their cards and shouted their names and claims for consideration.
 The street was blocked with automo- piles and an hour after the lecture began silk halted groups continued frequent rushes, like a football line, upon the barred doors.
 The colonel waved his hand when he alghted from his motor, but the crowd was too decorous for cheering hearty applause, however greeted his appear ance on the stage.
 Douglass William Freshfield. president of the society: Prince Louis of Batten- berg; Sir Edward Grey, secretary of state for foreign affairs: Earl Grey. ex-gov- ernor general of Canada; Lord Bryce, Eari Curzon and the American ambas- sador; Walter fl. Page were seated on the platform.
 The lecture was mainly a rendition of that delivered at Washington in May. Colonel Roosevelt suggested that the Royal Geographical society send man 10 survey the river and promised all as sistance from himself and the Brazilian government.
