PROTECTION OF sPANiARDs. United States Ccnsuls Under instruc-
 tions to Extend 1t to Thsri.

Washington. Feb. H-There were few external signs today of the enect or the presidential proclamation of yes terday revokng the order against the shipment of arms and munitions of war into. Mexico. In answer to a sug- gestion that the workfSof the American border patrol would be greatly reduced in consequence of the cessation or the task Of chasing gun runners" Secre- tary Cfarriso said that he would be guided entirely by the recommends tions of General Bliss at Fl Paso in making any change in the disposition of the troops So far, he said, he had not considered the feastbility of mak- ing any reductions.
 The status of theJrefugee Mexican soldiers, federals apss ssconstHutionalists alike, now held byWfe United States, was not affected hy the proclamation, and it was statedFFhat when order was restored in the Southern republic the frontea with 8sS6ill for the maintenance of the refugeeE-
 Treasury of1icials have charge of the large quantitsA of arms that have been seized from tine to time by the border patrol, and ts expected that4> some instructions wsH be sent soon to the local collectors customs in Texas and the other border States relative to their release for aipndSpt into Mex ico.
 The state departne nertt had not off, c1alIy heard today of the reported in tention of General Villa to execute Spariards captured Aby him in Tor reon, nor had it redeived the appeal from the Spanish gevernmeg1t in behalf of these Spaniaxds Which it is report ed from Madrid has been sent through MT. Willard. the American ambassador there. Some time ago. at the request of the Spanish ambassador here. the depa rtne1t directed the American con- sular officers in Mexico to extend to Spaniards in their districts the same measure of protection that they are giving to Americans. This is believed to be quite sufficient to warrant the consuls in taking the most energetic rules of civilized warfare.

sKIRMIsH NEAR ToRREoN.
Detachment of Rebels Driven Away
 by Feaerals.

Chihuahua, Mexico. Feb. 1.-The first skirnish between the federal troops protecting Torreon and the rebel army advancing on that city resulted in a withdrawal of the rebel forces The skiTInish details of which reached here today occurred in the mountain pass of Puerta de Lacadena, about thirty miles from Mapiu1i and northwest of Torreon.
 Rebel troops under General Urbfna were guarding the pass when they were attacked by a federal force which advanced from Mapimi. A brief fight resulted in the abandonment of the pass by the rebels and their retire nent to the main rebel advance guard north of Napimi- The rebels now be- lieye they will have to fight for Map 1mi before they march on Torreon.
 With the arrival of General Fran cisco Villa from Juerez today, rebel leaders looked forward to the Tor reon campaign, although trainloads of ammunition and rations for men and horses have to be shipped forward for week or ten days before anything like a general engagement takes place. Meantime the rebels are enjoying the fruits of recent victories and are em- barking on what is referred to already by Huerta sympathiZers as a reign of terror
 One of the duties assigned to an employe of q rebel newspaper is to dig out of the files the names of per sons who participated in social or bus mess events before the rebels occu- pied the city. Lists of these names are published. They invariably bring forth disclaimers from the persons re- ferred to. Nevertheless reports of some having been taken out and shot are numerous.
 Tn line with the statement of Gen ersl Villa that he would banist all Spaniards known to have opposed the rebels and that he would exterrainats, all Huerta influences, the fol1owirg has been given publicity here as~rep-. resenting the motives behind the rev olution:
 The trouble with the ,Madero rev olution was that 1t was not fought to a finish. After Diaz fell, the great CT part of his. regime survived and crippled Madero. The Madero ad- niinistration formed too generous compromise with beaten enemy. The danger of revolution will continue un- til the reform elements triumph com pletely. until the country is purged of the Cientifco influence and until we are rid of landIordism.
 'Tn brief, the remedy for reyolu- ton is thorough revolution It Is this fact that causes Csrranza. to reject all offers of compromise since such compromises contain the seed of endless disturbances" R

 RESENTATIVE BURNETT.
COWARDICE CHARGED
Author of Immigration Bill Attacked by Masshan of Minnesota-BiII Passed by Vote of 241 to 126.

Washington. Feb. 4-The Burnett immigration bill, prescribing literacy test for applicants to admission to the United States, was passed by the house All proposed amendments relating to the exclusion of Asiatic migrants previously had been eliminated

 Opponents of the literacy test fought strenuously. but on the last effort to eliminate it from the bill they were defeated. 40 to 239. The final vote came as the end or a Qdy or vigorous debate, which at times threw the house into confusion and on several occasions threatened to cause serious trouble
 The Lie Passed.
 Representative Burnett of Alabama, in charge Of the bill, tried to hurry the debate along, and frequently moved to proceed and shut off the discus sion. On one occasion Representative Aanahan of Minnesota commented upon what he called The unfairness with which this bill has been driven through" and the unfair statements of the chairman, Mir. Burnett, in view of his fear and cowardice which he has shown in not daring to answer objections
