London, March 25.-The govern

the forces of the crown in Ireland and
elsewhere to maintain law and order,
but there is no intention to take adj
vantage of this right to crush the po-
litical opposition to home rule in Ire
land"
This statement, made to Briga-ler
General Cough and other officers who
resigned their commands rather than
serve in forcing home rule upon Ul,-
stcr represents the extent Of the gov
ernment's surrender to the army IN
the conflict which has now developed
into one of bitter class strife.
War Secretary Scely today made
public the documents relating to the
arn7y's revolt against the coercion OF
Ulster. He revealed negotiations
which has aroused labor and radical
leaders to Eemand settlement, once
and for all, as to whether the King and
the army or parliament is to make the
laws. Indications are that even the
libsral ranks are divided into the fight
which is laid down on strictly arlsto-
cratic and democratic lines.
General Paget declared he preferred
dismissal if ordcrei, north, es he
feared the men would refuse to move.
This was the real beginning on the
struggle Between the army ard TIE
government, which has thrown the
country into political turmoil. Colo

ENDORSEMENT MISPLACED.
Reason For Delay in Nominating
Burch in Western District.

Washington. March 25.-It has be-
come known that the apparent delay
in nominating Thomas Burch, of Mar
tinsyille, to be United States marshal
for the Western district, was caused
through the loss of a large bundle Of
Endorsements, which were forwarded
to the Department OF Justice, along
with the recommendation FOR his ap-
;pointment, signed by Senators Martin
am, Swanson. The papers which
were apparently mislaid in the de-
partment somewhere have not been
found, and another paper bearing the
Endorsement of most Of the members
of the Virginia delegation were filed
with the department today.
It is now expected that the nomina-
tion of Burch, together with that of
Richard H. Mann, of Petersburg, to be
district attorney for the Eastern dis
trict. will be sent to the Senate today.
It is known that all of those nomi-
mated. with the exception of John
Hart will be confirmed at the same
time towards the end Of this week.
Hart:s nomination will probably be
rejected, Judging from the present in
dications. What move will follow that
is problematical.

'TORREON STILL
~ HOLDING OUT
Villa Fails to Reach City to
Fill Engagement With
Staff.
SAID TO BE TRAPPED.
Last Nights Dispatches to the Effect
That Constituencies Army Was in
TOrreon Premature.

Ell Paso, Tex, March 25.-Torreon
has not yet fallen, according to the be-
lief expressed here by careful observ-
ers of the situation around that
stronghold of the Huertistas in north
:ern Mexico.
General Francisco Villa did not take
lunch yesterday with Gen Eugenio
Benavides of his staff in a Torreon
cafe, as he had promised; nor did he
dine there. 1t is doubtful whether he
will get into the city tOiay.
The fact that Villa, after taking
Gomez Palacio, was not able to pro-
ceed to Torreon, has caused Huerta
svnpathizers to suggest that perhaps
the retreat of the Federals, reported
in staff dispatches yesterday, was
merely a feint by Gen Refugio Velas-
co, federal commander, to draw Villa
into trap.
This, Of course, is inierely specula-
ton based on the fact that the rebels
had to fight desperately in Gomez
Palacio, after apparently taking that
place.
Although the telegraph wires and
the south were busy all night, it was
asserted by rebel officials that not a
iline cf news regarjing the battle was
cdlSag accepting that fighting. was
still in progress.
A report was circulated here and In
Juarez last night that Torreon hal
surrendered to Villa, but this has not
been confirmed. Gen. Manuel Choa
military governor of Chihuahua state,
teleeraphed to Villa and other officers
on the battlefield for information, but
he received no reply.
"Hammering away at Torreon," was
the only information that could be ob-
tanned in constitutionalist circles III
