Mexlcans a Surprise

Washington, Marca 30.-Army ofti- cers here are much surprised at the endurance shown by the raw and un- dlsciplaned Mexican troops on both sides in the fighting around Torreon. It is estimated that for five days past these soldiers have been engaged in almost continual battle. without op- portunity for sleep or rest, and prac- tically without a commissaria, on the rebel side, at least.
 It is believed here that the expla- natio for the almost uparraled obsti- macy of the attack by the rebels is the knowledge that the only way to food and safety lies directly behind the federal defense in the city of Tor reon and that retreat across the arid desert in their rear is out of the dues- ton, with a victorious army in pur- suit
 Tn the absence of news from the scene of the great battle in central Mexico the little information d1a- came to Washington today was from the naval officers stationed on the two coasts. This related to the case of an American doctor arrested be- cause one of his patients who died under his ministrations was con. stitutionalist officer, to really threatening situation at Tampico.
 Because of the oil wells in it's rear and it's rich custom house. Tampico has long been an object of rebel de- sire, and today Admiral Mayo report ed that he heard that a large force of rebels had crossed the river above the city and was approaching with intent to attack the place. To off

Representative Walsh of New Jersey to his feet with a ringing defense. The democrats cheered his tribute to President Wilson vigorously.
 Throughout the day men and wom- en sat for hours in the crowded gal leries without intermission, even for luncheon. Crowds that could not jam | their way into the galleries waited fmpatiently in the corridors for an opportunity to hear the debate on tle most important legislative proposition before the congress in a decade.
 The importance of the occasion was impressed on the spectators when shortly after the house met, Repre- sentative LEnele of Florida. a suffer. er from rheumatism. was wheeled into the house in an invalits chair and from the chair made a speech oppos- dng the repeal.
 During the day Miss Eleanor Will son. the presidents daughter, and several white house gut Is, took places in the executive gallery of the house and listened to the debate for a time.
 In the senate Senator Owen read into the record a plank of the Balti- more platform denouncing ship sub sidy. This. ne said. was a flat con. tradicton of the plank fayoring ex- emption in the Panama canal act and was the expression of democratic doc. Urine for many years. He insistr < that agents of the coastwise steam ship companies had busied them selves arousing public sentiment and bringing to bear pressure on the con gress 10 get the exemption plank in the platform though not a state con vention of any party had favored it. | Now they would like to delay the matter ne added, until they can get up this artificial sentiment"
 Senator Owen declared he favored repeal of the navigation laws giving American owned and manned ships a coastwise trade monopoly. Under these laws, he declared, the compa- nies had so divided the traffic among themselves that they extorted improp- CT rates from the shippers. Senator Bristow and Senator Fall declared that railroad domination of coastwise shipping through arrange ment with the Pearson syndicate con. trolling the Tehuantepec railroad had created a condition of monopoly in coastwise traffic. The exemption pro vision of the canal act was aimed at this monopoly Senator Bristow insist ed.

REFUSES TO PERMIT REPORTS OF BATTLE UNTIL ToRREoN
 IS CAPTURED, HE SAYS.
BATTLE IS STILL RAGlNG
Believed That Rebels Were Makinq a Concerted AtHRck on the Inner De- lenses of the Last Stronghold of the Huerta Soldiers.

JUarez, Mex March 30-The rebel and federal forces at 1orreon still are engaged in battle it was learned tonight. This information came from Roberto V. ,Pesquiera, confidential agent of the colst butonalists in the United States, who recently arrived here from Washington.
 Senor Pesquea spent the after 'moon and rart of the evening in this city Investigating various rumors and so-called official reports dealing with the situation at the front. At the conclusion of his investigation he tel egraphed long report to associates in Washington and later talked with newspaper men. The constitutional ist secretary of the interior, Senor Zubaran, was present at the inter- view.
 They had no facts to di,uige save lighting continued and that the con @est thus far has been bloody and stabbornly fought on both sides. They stated that no telegram from Gen. Villa had been received, saying that Gen. Velascb had suggested condi- ticrsal surrender. They asserted pos itively, on the other hand, that fed eral reports of victory we're absurd.
 q believe that the rebels tonight are making a concerted attack on the federal positions" said Zubaian. With what success 1 don't know, but in the end believe Gen. Villa is rer- t.in or victory. Mexscans are fight ing against MeNiGans and the contest is stubborn, but the moral force, which in the end will spell victory, is on our side Many of the tele- grams credited to Gen. Villa have not really been sent by him. Whence they came do not know. {
 Villa is using guns and hand gre nades, not typewriters. He told the newspaper correspondents frankly that they could send do dispatches until he took Torreon.
 We have no details we know only that our men are fighting the big fight of the revolution and that the advantage thus far is with us"

A Number of Big Cases Will Probably Be Settled Within the NeNt Week or Ten Gays.

COUNTY DEMOCRATIC CONVEN- TON SCENE OF STORM BEFORE
 STATE DELEGATION IS NAMED
MARTIN IS THE AGGRESSOR
United States District Attorneys At tack on Floor Leader Leo Nc Lau9hlin on the Floor Followed His Criticism Of the Delegation.

Following the selection of the dele gation of thirteen members to the State Democratic Convention by the Garland County Convention yesterday afternoon, there was probably as stormy a scene as ever enacted in such a political gathering when W. II. Martin, United States district attor- ney, and recognized as the Clarke leader in this county, attacked the se- lection in an address, and said that they were not entitled to go there with thirteen men who would knife Clarke the moment they got a chance"
 The delegates had been named by a committee of five, composed of Eb Echols, D. F. Crosby. w. F. Sorrells, Leo Mclaughlin and W. w. Little. This committee, after a resolution authorizing such action, had been named by Chairman Dr. Linda Barry.
 The committee reported as dele gates to the state convention the fol- lowing:
 Delegates-A H. Moore, W. A.. Echols, Claude Marsh, Gilbert Hoga- boom w w. Little, Leo P. McLaugh. lin, s. II. Grandstaff, Dave Crosby, J. E. Rigsby, Gus Borland c. T Cot ham, l.. Fl Barry Altornates T. l.. Moore, Dave Fowler D. N Burlington, Hamp Williams, Milton P. Moore, c H. North, Ed WAisenant, D. L. Weaver, J. NJ McElrath Dave Hud. dleston, l.. F Wyatt, E. F. Childs.
 The personnel of the delegates was largely for Kirby though under the state rules the delegation casts its ballot in the state convention for the man for senator for whom the county gave a majority, therefore the selec- .tion of a Kirby delegation has noth- ing to do vita the result of the cleo tion in so far as the ballots are con corned.
 VIII. Martin. when the roster of delegates had been read by Secretary Gilbert Hogaboom asked for permis- sion to address the convention. He said that he was Senator Clarke's friend, and that Senator Clarke had carried this county, therefore he be- lieved that Clarke men should be named as delegates to the state con vention. He said delegation should not be sent there favorable to Judge Kirby. He said that no man with honesty in his heart would favor the sending of Kirby delegates from a county that had given it's vote to Senator Clarke. He said some other things that aroused the thought of some of the committeeman who had been selected.
 Walter w. Little answered Mir. Martin in stating that if Senator Clarke had the most votes in the race for senator he would get the office. and that if Judge Kirby had the most votes he should get 1t. He said the ! personnel of the delegation to the state convention had been made rather with a view of preventing any i fraud to any parties. than of looking i for Kirby men to be named He re- ferred to the rule which requires the vote in the convention Co be an
 nounced by aay delegation sent just as the election returns they had certi-
