ASQUITH PLAYS PART.
Feeling in Parliament For Settlement
on Federal Basis is Gaining Ground
All The Time

London, April "a remarkably
pacific spirit has come over the po'
l:tical situation in strange contrast to
the storm and stress Of a week ago.
It is almost certain that Mr.. Asquith
will be returned to Parliament unop-
posed. The feeling for a settlement
on a Fe eral basis is gaining ground
Arthur J. Balfour spoke today, and
Sir Edward Carson and Andrew Bonar
Law on Monday when the division on
the home rule bill will be taken on
the second reading.
Mr.. Asquith has appointel General
Sir Charles Douglass, now inspector
general of the home forces, to sue
ceed Field Marshal Sir John French
as chief of staff.
The first act of Premier Asqultn
in his new capacity as secretary for
war. was to clear up the mystery sur
rounding the influence given by the
War Office to Sir Arthur Paget, COM
mander-in-chief in lrelaDT.
Sir Arthur was summoned to Lon
don to give his chief personal ac
count of the orders he had received
and issued, and, as result of the con-
ference, Reginald Mckenna, the home
secretary, who is acting as 'lea-er OF
The Horse, was a.. lie to inform the
Commons today that:
"The only question General Paget
put or intended to put, to the CON-
maning officer in Ireland was wheth-
er they were rea;g to put their duty
before any other consideration. 1t was
not his intention that this or any Other
such question: should be put by the
general officers to their subord:nates
There certainly was a home rule
debate in the House of Commons yes
terday, but it almost passed unnotic'
ed. Very few members stayed to u.s.
ten. The great majority preferre1
discussion of the question OF federal
ism, which, as offering a basis fo'
peaceful solution of the Irish problem
is the sole subject of conversation al
the present moment. Tonight EXPIRE
mier Balfour will devote a speech tt
It, while Sir Edwa1r5i Carson is to make
2 announcement on the same subject
next Monday.
Unionist members yesterday stat
ed that they were ready to accept tn'
exclusion of Ulster or the larger por
tion thereof until the federal system
should be applied to the entire Unit
ed Kingdom.

by Secretary Forward with a requlsi-
ton from Governor Henry D Hatfie1.,
of West Virginia, for John Hatfield, in
custody in Buchanan county, to be
turned over to Sheriff Hatfield, Of
Mingo county. 1t turned out, how
ever, that John Hatfield is wanted by
Sheriff Hatfield and Henry D. Hat
field, not for shooting up the gap, but
for obstructing a freight train. The
obstruction, it apears, took the shape
of a pile of wooden ties laid across the
railway track. The requisition was
honored by Governor Stuart, and the
captive Hatfield will start back to
West Virginia to5ay
A requisition for Wade Lybrook, in
custody in Chicago, was issued yester-
dav by Governor Stuart on the Cover
nor of Illinois Lybrook IS wanted III

STILL Held UP
Torreon Defenders Said to
be in Bad Plight From
Siege.
FEDERALS AT BAY.
Bcsiegers Reported to Have Been Sub
jected to Rain Of Bullets From Fed
erals in Adobe Buildings.

Juarez, April 2.-Torreon is alreai;y
virtually in the possession Of Gen.
Francisco Villas constitutionalist
force, but Villa will rot Officially an
nounce" his victory until he is in alb
solute undisturbed control.
This was the statement made here
today by a high official Of the con-
stitutionalist government. He declar-
cs he has proof al leXcept two small
remnants of the federal garrison OF
Gen. Refugio Valesco. once numbering
more than 5000, had been dispersed.
This official refused to divulge Vii
las reasons for failing to claim the
city, but indicated that he was with
holding the news in order to carry out
coup which would result in the cap
ture OF the fe5eral re-inforcements
rushing toward Torreon, and possibly
in the capture Of Monterey and Sal
tillo.
General Venustiano Carranza and
his cabinet had two-hour talk by
wire last night with General Villa.
Later Carranza's chief of staff gave
out the substance Of this conversation.
declaring Villa hai "urofficially" re-
ported that q remnant of the federal
army was offering "an unexpected de-
fcnse
The separate fights were raging, the
report said, one in a fortified adobe
structure on the southwestern edge OF
Torreon. and the other in the Can
yon r,e Huarache
Villa explained to Carranza that
the the Canyon de Huarache is the
opterr,ost line of original defense Of
the city, being located few miles
southwark. Three mountains close
together. one of them Cerro re !
Cruz, form this canyon, which mas
been strongly fortified. The federals
intrenched there are believed to be the
principal remnant of, the defenders.
Fighting has been desperate in the
extreme, Villa reported and losses on
both sides have been heavy. In at
tacking the rebels are constantly en-
posed to a merciless fire from the pro-
tected federals, Villa said.
General Carranza was informed
that Villa hopel to sweep away these
defenses today. Villa reported, SO
far as he could learn, no federal re-
inforcements are close to Torreon. In
order to prevent such a movement
however, his troops have cut the rail-
road line south of Saltillo, and have
also interrupted railroad service by
which federal soldiers could be
brought up from Aguas Calientes.
Carranza's conference with Villa
was most unusual, in that Carranza
and his lieutenants took complete
nossession of the main telegraph ottlc5
here, closed it to all outsi'ers tol
two hours. Even the operators, ex'
cept Carranza's private telegrapher
were barred from the building.
