Torreon, Mex. April Gen. Fran

5000 spaniards OF Torreon be deport-

trains be provided at once and that
the exodus to FL Paso. Tex. should
begin today. Their property viii be
confscated. temporarily at least.
II is the tragedy Of chihuahua over
again. and is said TO express the
deeprooted suspicion and even hatred
with which the native Mexican, and
particularly the peon. looks upon the
Spandiard. villa expelled the dons
from Chihuahun four months ago.
and since then has repeatedly stated
that other Spandiards would better
get out OF Mexico before he caught
them. This abiding conviction that
they were working as one man
against the revolution found frequent
expression while he was in Juarez,
:. which time he asserted that he
would execute every one that he
found in Torreon.
The Spanish government was arous
ed and Washington descended on the
constitutionalist chiefs with words OF
warning and admonition. villa prom
ised that Spaniards innocent of poll
teal activity should not be harmed.
This was official. but In talking with
reporters and friends, II was said his
temper frequently betrayed him into
the most tragic threats. Some OF
those constantly associated with the
rebel leader said he did not expect to
find many Spandiards who would de-
serve his celemency.

Villa promised he would investigate
closely the conduct Of each Spand-

enemy would be allowed to return.
To establish their innocence while
not represented before the investiga-
tors with their cases In the hands of
a hostile court and themselves in
foreign land, il is said, will be an al
most hopeless task.
The order was received In tragic
ST 'ence, followed by passionate out
bursts OF pleading and lament, say
persons who were present All as
serted that they had remained neu-

the military government in the hands
OF the federals they we're compelled
at times to render such aid as was
demanded-the use OF houses and
corral, for instance, and the forced
contribution OF money and food.
To have refused, they said. would
have meant death, or at least i'm
prisonment, but Villa said he was in
clined to believe there was little re-
luctance in the aid and comfort they
extended to his enemies. He is said
to resent the fact that they did not
leave the city when he announced
It would be well for them to do so.
