WILSON WEDDING PRIVATE
In Some Quarters 1t Is Believed Date
of Marriage Ceremony Will Be
Kept Secret.

Washington, March 30.-Miss Flea
nor Wilson, daughter of President and
Mrs. Wilson, and William G. Nc
Adoo, secretary of the treasury, are to
have private wedding. This is the
first authentic information concerning
it received from persons close to the
White House. All the details have
not been worked out, and the date
has not been selected, it is said. De-
spite persistent rumors that the we'd
ding will be in April, June is regarded
as the most probable time. Indeed, in
some quarters it is believed there will
be no announcement of date, but that
the ceremony will be performed and
cards sent out afterward. With the
corps of policemen surrounding the
White House this might be accom-
plished with ease.

FIGHT IN BRITAIN NEAR
LEADERS OF PARLIAMENT HOLD
CONFERENCES IN CRISIS.
Army Officers. Still Say They Will Re-
sign Unless Peace Is Made With
Curragh Men.

London, March 30.-What has been
pronounced the greatest crisis for
craftsmanship in 300 years" is sim
mering. Both houses of parliament
will train their heaviest guns upon
the complicated affair today. Pas
sions are running high and country
houses where the politicians custom
arily spend the week-ends are de-
serted.
The party leaders are comforting in
London and urgent summonses have
been sent to all members to attend.
If the outcome of the crisis is to be
a general election in the near future,
the radical wing of the liberal party
will form a close alliance with the
labor party, the coalition crystalliz-
ing it's platform into the battle cry,
"The aristOcrats against the people.
Such a campaign seems to hold pos
sibilities of vote-getting which the
conservatives shy at.
The Panama debate at Washington,
which ordinarily would have been read
here with equal interest to that which
1t excites in the United States, is pass
ing almost unnoticed in the excite
ment over the crisis, and the suffra-
gettes are being wholly ignored

See1y were closeted with the king re-
Gently, Maj. Gen. Sir William r. Rob-
ertson, director of military training
at the war office, accompanied by a
colleague, visited the palace, accord
ing to reliable information, and asked
to be admitted to the conference on
urgent business. The request was
granted and the officers announced
that they and a majority of the staff
officers would resign Immediately I'M
less the government made it's peace
with the Curragh officers.
Premier AsQuith's conciliatory state
ment to the Times, the first interview
which the premier has granted in Of

that this ultimatum had been deliv-
cred.
The Ulster situation so far has had
no demoralizing effect on the stock

No solution had been found up to a
late hour Of the situation caused by
the designations of Field Marshal Sir
John French and Adjt. Gen. Sir John
Ewart from their positions at the
head of the British army.
The cabinet, however, was still
hopeful that its difficulties would be
overcome before it again meets the
house of commons on Monday.

REBELS FIGHT IN,
STREETS0F TORREON
Surrender of Federal Garrison
Matter of Few Hours.
1000 MEN HAVE FALLEN
Villas Troops Surround Town and
Velasco Army Is Unable to EVac-,
uate-PoIice Stop Riot in
Mexico City.

Gomez Palacio, March 30.-Surren-
der OF the federal garrison of Torreon
is imminent. General Velasco's forces
have found themselves frustrated in
every effort to cut their way through
the ring Villa has forged around the
city.
Villa managed, at tremendous loss
of life, to force his way into the north
ern section of the city at the defenses
of which the constitutionalist artillery,
under direction of General Angeles,
has been hammering for several days.
According to constitutionalist esti-
mates, at least four thousand men
have fallen since the beginning of the
siege, the losses being about evenly
divided between defenders and be-
siegers.
On the constitutionalist side the
losses have been heaviest in the Ear
agoza brigade, which has lost 25 per
cent of it's 1900 men, and the Durango
regiment under Maclovio Herrera,
which by wonderful charge against
the southern defenses achieved the
honor Of being the first of Villas
forces to penetrate the main city.
Seeks to Take Army.
Had it not been for Villas determ-
ination not to permit any part of Vel
asco's army to evacuate the city and
possibly effect a junction with the
strong garrisons at Saltillo and Mon
terey, he might have been in posses
sion of the city 4S hours ago.
Villas plan is to capture Velasco
and his entire force, in order to IA
cilitate the taking of Saltillo and Mon
terey before he resumes his march to
Mexico City.
Cry death to Huerta!"
Mexico City, March 30.-The police
fired upon small crowd of students
who were marching and shouting
"Muertas" for President Huerta and
making remarks derogatory to the
government. Emboldened by the
growing popular belief that the gov
eminent forces are failing to hold
back the rebels at Torreon, the stu
dents organized a manifestation, but
not more than fifty had joined in the
movement when they were faced by a
squad of police near the Alameda.
About forty shots we're fired by the
police, who apparently aimed high, as
no one was hurt.
