Spaniards From Torreon
500 SUBJECTS ARE AFFECTED
Ordered Out of City by Rebel
Head and Their Property
will Be Confiscated

Washington, April G.-Spanish AM
bassador Riano is prepared to make a
protest 70 Secretary Bryan because of
Villas expulsion Of 600 Spaniards from
TorreOn. Spain objects not only TO
their expulsion but to the confiscation
Of property, said To be worth millions.
Torreon, Mex, April g. via I'll Paso,
Tex, April General Francisco villa
today ordered that the six hundred
Spaniards of this city he deported. He
issued instructions that trains be pro-
vided at once, and that the exodus to
El Paso, Texas. should begin tomor-
row. Their property will be confis-
Gated, temporarily at least.
IL is the tragedy of Chihuahua over
again, and is said to express the deep
rooted suspicion and even hatred with
which the native Mexican, and partic-
ularly the peon, look upon the Span
lard. a
Believed to Side With Huerta.
Villa expelled the dons from Chihua-
hua four months ago and since then
iards had better get out of Mexico be-
fore he caught them. His conviction
that they were working as one man
against the revolution found frequent
expression while he was in Juarez at
which time he asserted he would exc
cute every one that he found in Tor
reon.
The attitude Uf the Washington gov
ernment led villa to promise that
Spaniards innocent Of political activity
should not be harmed. This was OFF,
cial, but in talking with reporters and
friends he frequently made threats.
The expulsion of the Spaniards is
taken to indicate that all are to be
held guilty until innocence is proved
The order brought passionate out
bursts of pleading and lament All as
serted that they had remained neutral,
so far as they could, but with the mil
itary government in the hands of the
federals they were compelled at times
to give such aid as was demanded-the
use of houses and corrals, for instance.
ana lne lOlCtu contribution OF money
and food. To have refused, they said,
would have meant death or at least inn
prisonment. but Villa believes there
was little reluctance in the aid and
comforts they extended To his enemies.
Hatred Of Spaniards Centuries Old.
Mexican hatred of the Spaniards is
tradition handed down from the days
of the conquest. 1t is still expressed in
the crude but innumerabe ballads
chanted 10y the poems and in the native
song of the Indian. II has been a part
of their lives for three centuries. Mod
ern instances have intensified II. In
Mexico, the ranch ovCrseer, often abus-
i've, and frequently corrupt, the
small sEop-kcepcr. the money-lender--
in short tho butcher, the baker and
cnndle-sti maker of Mexican life
has been Spaniard, and is claimed to
have used his superior intelligence to
the disadvantage Of the natives. other
foreigners are less subject TO resent
ment.
