Torreon, Mexico, June 21.-General

Advices reaching here from the frori

the strength of the Federal garrison
at Zacatecas is proving surprise to
the rebels. 1t was not realized Ivy
Villa until to-day how completely Gen.

the assaults upon Zacatecas. Natera
really has only a remnant of his army
left, and it is estimated that he lost

five thousand men.

Zacatecas promises to be the scene
Of a great battle. Already the rebels
are finding Federal opposition every
step of the way. The main portion Of

make general assault. Surprising
activity Of General Barron's forces, tho
strength of the Federal outposts and
the demoralized state OF Natera's force,

Phonosraph Records Burn.

The fire. which consumed thousands
of dollars worth of photographic rec
ords and a quantity Of Photographic
films. started about midway of the cell
lar. Before the men could break their
way in It had burned through the fioor
and spread to the sub-cellar. F1remen
from Truck 1, under command OF Act
ing Captain Humphries. first to arrive
at the fire, entered the cellar from the
Chambers st. side of the building
They were dragging their line OF hose
through the smoke-filled cellar, when
n gas pipe sprang a-leak as result or
the intense heat. One by one they teii
to the floor overcome. Many other
firemen who went to their assistance
met with a similar experience, and IT
was not until reiIforcements came, on
a second alarm sent in by Acting Dep
uty Chief George Kuss, that the men
were rescued.
The danger TO the men who had en-
tered the building at Chambers st. was
increased by a forced draft due to the
opening Of a sidewalk freight elevator
shaft on the Reade st. side or the
building, at which point other hremen
were at work. 1t produced a current
of air which drove the deadly fumes
toward the men, whose only ventilation
came from six foot hole, which had
been cut through the iron and glass
sidewalk in Chambers st.
This state Of affairs continued for
more than an hour. Relief came only
when an employe Of the gas company
arrived and located the shut-off valve
of the lighting system. The uncoI-
scious firemen were carried up the lal-
ders to the street.
They were laid along the sidewalk
and pumotors were used by DR.. John
j. White Of the Fire Department; DR..
Dugsdale, of Hudson Street Hospital.
and several policemen acting as as
sistants. Schwall was taken to Hud-
son Street Hospital more seriously af-
fected than the rest. The other men
returned to their headquarters after
sufficiently recovering their strength.

ing Chief Kelly. learning Of the fire.
arrived in time to see his father car
ried from the cellar. He stood by while
Dr. White worked over him. When
Kelly regained consciousness he saw
his son leaning over him, doing what
he could for his relief. When the boy
was sure his father was safe he shook
his hand and with tears streaming
down his face hurried away.

Left capItaI vuInerabIe.

One hundred years ago the residents
Of Washington were seriously dis
turbed by rumors that the British
were planning an expedition for the
capture of their city. Grave as was
the danger. the authorities were slow
to move. After considerable delay a
fleet Of gunboats and barges were as
sembled and placed under the COM
mand Of the veteran Commodore Bar
ney. who had served with distinction
in the Revolution. But the land de.
fenses were almost totally neglected.
Though the government called for TO-
900 troops, the actual defense force
about the national capital consisted OF
but few hundred militia. In conse-
quence. when the British finally
marched ON the city In midsummer
they encountered little opposition.

GOOD FOR POLAR EXPLORERS
fit to Those Who Track Waste
Places Of the Earth.

Count Bertrand de Lessups, son Of
the famous Frenchman of Suez canal
fame, has constructed an air-propelled
machine which is capable of attaining
q speed of from fifteen to sixty miles
an hour over the snow, according to
the condition of the frozen roads. The
shoe-shaped chassis is attached to
broad, fiat metal runners, and vibra-
tion is reduced to a minimum by the
addition Of strong springs. The pro
peller behind the pilot is well guard
ed by a metal screen as protection
against any one approaching it close
ly. When snow falls wheels are placed
on the projecting pins, which lift the
ski from the ground, and the car win
then attain speed of nearly one hun
dred miles an hour. Some such ma
chine as this is to be taken into the
antarctic regions by Shackleton with
his Forthcoming expedition. Abroad
this form of amusement is called aero
skiing.

the middle a broad road remains free,
and here you may see the royal equi-
page, with its prancing Andalusian
horses, and numerous four-horse car
riages, with powdered grooms. It is
the Rotten Row of Madrid, only with
carriages of more genuine magnifi-
cence and with women whose beauty
is world-famous.
At night the crowd in wagons and
on foot shifts slowly from the Retro
and the Prado up the broad Alcala,
past the high, projecting palace of the
minister Of war and the new Bank Of
Spain, or through the other streets
which lead up into the city. The men
fill the cafes, then they go to the the
aters, and finally to the club or eve
ming party, the latter being a promi-
nent feature of the city's domestic
life.
The Retro or Park of Madrid is one
of the most beautiful pleasure

kept up as the Thiergarten of Berlin,

Of its high position over the valley of

Proud OF MADRID
Citizens Of Spanish Capital Take
Great Pride in City.
Metropolis Has Lost Much Of Its Old
Peculiar Picturesqueness Contains
Handsome Buildings, Fine Parks,
Drives and Public Gardens.

London.--'F From Madrid to heaven,
and in heaven a spyhole to look at
Madrid" sums up in sentence the
pride Of the inhabitants Of the Spanish
capital. True, cosmopolitan Madrid,
as it exists today, has lost much of the
old peculiar picturesqueness, but few,
If any, of the great capitals contain
more really handsome buildings, finer
parks. drives and public gardens.
A whole new city has arisen outside
the old boundaries, plaster has given
place to stone and marble, and the
statues, which so plentifully adorn its
plazas, are almost all works of art,
and worthy of their position. Electric
lights and street cars are everywhere.
The viaduct, markets, hospitals, public
buildings of all kinds, the palace now
one of the finest in Europe-hotel
and private houses furnished with ev-
cry modern luxury, form a veritable
transformation scene, even for those
who remember the capital as recently
as In the time of Isabel IL.
In Madrid all roads lead to the
Puerta del Sol, the Piccadilly Circus
Of the Spanish capital, on which, or
in whose vicinity, are situated the no
tells. Ten streets radiate from the
plaza, within which, from morning to
evening, and through the night itself.

Of the populace wears itself out with

its elements of life. You will see mo-

by oxen, the groaning barrel wagon,
newsboys running and shrieking,
crowds promenading or sitting and
standing before the cafes a life and
animation of irresistible charm to the
visitor
All types Of Madrid's population may
be seen here, from the bull fighter to
the great legislator. American and
English tourists mingle with the
throng; German commercial travellers
talk business to their customers on
the seats outside the cafes. and one
hears all the languages of Europe
spoken hereabouts.
Near by is the wagon corso. In two
closely crowded rows many gorgeous
and still more simple open wagons,
all with two horses, drive up and down
