There is more Catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incur
able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con
s~tantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
4. J. Cheney & Co, Toledo, O., is the
only Constitutional sure on the mar
ket. 1t acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials.

"Oficial' Reports of
Fighting at Torreon

Laredo, Tex, March 4.-Conflicting re-
ports of the battle between Mexican Con-
stitutionalists and Federals came to La
redo today from the isolated scene of
Yesterdays engagement near Guerrero.
60 miles south of this city, on the Rio
Grande. Heavy losses on both sides were
indicated.
An official Federal dispatch given out
In Nuervo Laredo claimed Gen. Guardio-
la repulsed the rebels after nine hours
fighting and that they took with them
many wounded besides leaving many
dead on the field. 1t was said that many
Constitutionalists deserted and fled to
the United States during the fighting.
1t was admitted Guardiola withdrew to
San Ignacio after the reported retreat of
the rebels. His loss in killed, captured
and wounded was given as 60 men.

FIERCE FIGHTING
ISC0NTINUED AT
T0RRE0N'S
Federals Make Stand at Gomez PalaciO
Against Advance of the Constitu=
tionalist Army

mors and official" reports of the on
ward sweep of Gen. Francisco Villa
and his victorious rebels kept this city
in a state of gratified excitement to-
day, but the optimism was dashed
somewhat by the receipt of The As
ISOLATED Press dispatch from Chihua-
hua quoting an official dispatch to the
effect that fighting continues at Co.
mez Palacio. 1t was announced Off
cially in the course of the morning
that the city three miles from Torreon
was taken last night at o'clock and
that Gen. Villa had ordered supplies
sent direct to that city.
Next came word that Gen. Eugenio
Aguirrez Benavides has captured two
Federars cuertals in Torreon itself.
This information was conveyed in a
private telegram from Col. Trevino,
one of Benavide's staff officers to his
brother in Juarez. At this there was
further joy, but it was nothing to the
excitement occasioned when Gen.
Manuel Chao, military governor of the
state of Chihuahua, and now in this
city to greet Gen. Carranza, received
a private report that Gen. Velasco,
the Eederal cOulnlduuer dt IoTTeuH,
had surrendered.
Gen. Chao accepted the report with
reserve, however, and telegraphed to
Gen. Villa asking for confirmation or
denial.
The dispatch from The Associated
Press staff correspondent at Chihua-
hua had something of a dampening eff
feet on the spirits of the rebels and it
gave rise to all manner of conjec-
lures 1t was the first direct news
telegram of the day, but it was ar
gued that the official report quoted in
it did not necessarily disprove pre-
vious reports of fighting in Torreon,
or even that Villa did not actually
have Gomez Palacio in his possession
last night.
The report might mean, 1t was con-
iectured, that the Federals as a part
of the general battle might have re-
turned to Gomez Palacio and renewed
the fight, while the other forces We're
engaged in Torreon, three miles away

London, March 24.-Westminster
continues to be a eseething caldron
over what the Liberals now denounce
as the mutiny of the army aristocrats
against democratic government. The
fact has been established from all OBJ

obtained written assurances, which
had been drafted by a lawyer, that
they would not be ordered to fight
