sPAN|ARDS DRIVEN
OUT BY gen. VILLA
six HUNDRED RESIDENTS OF TOR
REoN ORDERED TO LEAVE
COUNTRY AT ONCE.
Their Property TO be confisca.%d by
Rebel Leader, Who Believes That
spaniards are Working Against
the Rebel Cause.

Torreon. Gen. Francisco Villa has
ordered that the 600 Spaniards Of this
city be deported. He issued instruc-
tons that trains be provided at once
and that the exodus to Ell Paso, Tex,
should begin at once Their property
will be confiscated temporarily at
least.
1t is the tragedy of Chihuahua over
again, and is said to express the deep
rooted suspicion and even hatred with
which the native Mexican, and partic
ularly the peon, looks upon the Span
lard
Villa expelled the Dons from Chi
huahua four months ago and since
then has repeatedly stated that other
Spaniards would better get out of
Mexico before he caught them. His
abiding conviction that they were
working as one man against the revo-
luton found frequent expression
while he was in Juarez, at which
time he asserted he would execute
every one that he found in Torreon.
The Spanish government was
aroused and washington, with it's
watchful waiting policy, based partly
on the expectation of humane prose
cution of the insurrection, descended
on the constitutionalist chiefs with
words of warning admonition.
Reluctantly Villa promised that
Spaniards. innocent of political activity
should not be harmed. This was Of
fetal, but in talking with reporters
and friends his temper frequently be-
trayed him into the most tragic
threats. 1t was plain to those con-
stantly associated with the rebel
leader that he did not expect to find
many Spaniards who would deserve
his clemency.
Their expulsion is taken to indicate
that all are to be held guilty until
innocence is proved. Villa promised
that he would investigate closely the
conducted of each Spaniard and that
in due course those found to have
lent no aid to the enemy would be
allowed to return.

CITY SCATTERED WITH BLOOD
Dead Men and Horses Piled High in
Streets of Torreon.

Chihuahua dispatch from an
Italian army officer with the rebel ar.
tillery was received Sunday afternoon
from Torreon. 1t says:
Dead horses and dead men are
piled high in the streets and plaza
and the ruins of the city are spat-
tered with blood 1t is impossible
to estimate the number of federal
dead, but superficial inspection of pub.
lie places would indicate that no less
than 1000 bodies are scattered about
1t will be task to get rid of the
dead, but a gigantic funeral pyre
probably will be built and the bodies
OF men and animals incinerated.
Among the dead are some of the
picked rurales who fought against
Zapata in the south and were sent

Fourth of July Holiday.

For many years 1t has been GUS
to close their stores on July 4th, eX-
cept when the 4th fell on Saturday or
Sunday. and then Monday has usually
been observed as the holiday. This
year the ith occurs on Saturday and
the presumption Is that the stores will
close on Monday, the 9Th, in order
to give the clerks their usual midsum-
mer holiday. 1t Is of course out of
the question to close on Saturday. but
none Of the merchants will object to
closing OH Monday.
