MEXICAN REBELS
ARE NEAR TORREON

By The United Press.
Ell PASO Tex, March Ella brief
dispatch received early today from an
American correspondent with General
Francisco Villas Constitutionalist army
ut Torreon, stated that the advance
guard OF the rebel guards were at Yer
mo, 65 miles north OF Torreon. Another
dispatch was received by the Constitu.
tionalist information bureau at Juarez
at midnight. which is supposed to give
detailed Information regarding the move
ments of Villas men. The Juarez oili-
cials, however, would make no details
public, merely saying: "Advices received
from Yermo are to the effect that the
COnstitutionalists are in possession OF
IAN the points abandoned by the Fed
erals
These two dispatches apparently con-
firm each other and disprove the story
put afoat in III Paso last night and
widely teegraphed about the country by
special correspondents that the Consti-
tutionalists had captured Berminillo and
Mapimi. Both of these places are prac-
tically suburbs of Ioreon and much
closer than lermo.
Il is believed If they had not been
captured General Villa would have issued
statement or would have permitted
the American newspaper men with his
army TO report in detail.

PREPARE THE NAVY
TO MEET SITUATION
SITUATION IN ULSTER


Irish Parliamentary party IN
House OF Commons, after
struggling for years, induced
the British government to in
troduce Irish Home Rule bill
With the slogan Ulster will
fight" Orangemen of Ulster,
realizing Home Rule almost a
certainty, have organized a vol
unteer army estimated at from
25,0O0 to 100000 men under the
leadership of Sir Edward Car
son, Bonar Law and others, 10
resist by force of arms q Dublin
parliament.
Fearing uprisings If Home
Rule we're enacted, Premier
Asquith offered to cOmprom-
Use by permitting the nine
Ulster counties TO vote on the
question Of refusing to recog-
nize an Irish parliament for a
number of years.
Ulsterites refused any COM
promise and the British gov
ernment, since Thursday, has
been mobilizing troops and
ships-of-war at strategic points.
One hundred army officers
are reported to have resigned
their commissions rather than
engage in threatened civil war.
The Home Rule has passed
twice the House Of Commons
and has been rejected twice by
the House Of Lords. If passed
a third time by the Commons
1t becomes a law regardless of
any vote in the House of Lords.
