EI paso. Tex, April 2.-Torreon has
fallen. The official news came in
teIearam from General Paneho Villa,
received in Juarez exactly at'1i o'clock
to- night.
No details were given, but Juarez
beoan 10 celebrate Immediately.
The translation of the message re-
ceived by General Carranza from Gen
eral Villa is as follows;
II have the honor 70 announce that
after eleven days of severe fighting the
Constitutionalist army, which l have
the honor to command, is in undis-
puted possession Of Torreon, the last
remnant of the Federal army having
taken flight this afternoon. | regret
10 say that General Velasco has es-
caped with an escort of a few men and
is being pursued by my cavalry. Ny
losses will number 100 killed and
wounded. The Federal losses in killed,
wounded and prisoners will be fully
1000"
Following the official announcement
that Villa had finally captured Torreon'
the city falling at 1920 p. m. into his
hands. Juarez went wild tonight.
Church bells are ringing, and the
streets are filled with people shouting,
viva Villa"
The news was first announced to the
world when the bugler in front of Gen
eral Carranza's residence blew the
staccato notes of victory. The pean,
Carranza said, was sounded here even
before it was heard in Torreon, Villa
delaying out of compliment to his chief.
The meagre bulletins excitedly an
nouncing victory after the bloodiest
series Of battles known to modern Mex
leo said that Villa captured a large
number of prisoners. and that the flee
ing Federal remnant was being pur-
sued.
There was heavy fighting to-day. it is
understood, and the end came when,
after capturing the three remaining
barracks held in the city by the Fed
erals, the rebels stormed the trenches
and barbed wire entanglements Of Can
yon de Guarache.
The prisoners captured are believed
to have been the defenders Of the bar
racks, while the troops in the canyon
were able to ny.
Juarez, Mexico, April 2.-Something
which had not been anticipated by
the rebel leader was believed 10
have occurred to-day at Torreon.
Fear that disaster had overtaken
the rebel was very general in Juarez
and the meagre and infrequent mes
sages from the front gave no intima
ton.

Men of the Steamer New
foundland Marooned on
Floating Ice "Pan."
SURVIVORS PICKED UP;
ALSO SEVERAL DEAD
Blizzard Swoops Down Upon
Hunters and 48 Hours Elapse
Before Aid Arrives.

ST. Johns y. f., April AT least
siXty-four members Of the crew of the
sealing steamer Newfoundland per-
ished in a storm which caught them on
the ice foes near the Strait of Belle
Isle on Tuesday. That number of
bodies was recovered by other steam
ers in the fleet which also picked up
thirty-seven survivors, all suffering
severely from frost bite. Thirty mem-
bers of the crew had remained on the
Newfoundland when their companions
went out to hunt seals. leaving about
twenty men unaccountei for out of the
total crew Of about 1J9 There is
possibility that some of these were
drowned by the overturning Of ice
cakes.
The steamer Bellaventure, with
fifty-eight bodies and thirty-five of the
survivors aboard, is due here to-mor-
row. News of the disaster was flashed
here by the Bellaventure' wireless op-
orator.
The sealing steamer Southern Cross,
with 10 men on board, was reported
tonight to have arrived safely at
Channel. n. F. Fears had been felt
days blizzard.
The men lost we're far from their
ships, killing seals when the storm,
with binding snow. swooped down
upon them. They were exposed for
forty eight hours before assistance ar
rived, and in that time many sue
cumbed
The Newfoundland was one of a
fleet OF fifteen ships carrying more
than two thousand men, scattered
among the ice foes near Belle Isle
Strait. The crews were on the foes
hunting the seals which make their
homes on these crystal plains, and the
hunt had taken them from four TO six
miles from their ships.
FIoes Drift in Darkness.
When the blizzard came the crews Of
the other steamers managed TO regain
their vessels, but the foes on which
the Newfoundland's men were hunt
ing drifted away from the main body
of ice and when darkness fell that
night a man had returned. The ships
crew numbered 80. Of whom 120 were
on the ice. Captain Wesley Kean and
his officers, together with the engineers
stokers and cooks. remained aboard.
This morning the weather cleared
and Captain Kean signalled the steam
ers Bellaventure and Stephano, which
were nearest him, Of the loss Of his
men. These two vessels being fast md
powerful, smashed their way into the
foes in search of the missing men.
The wireless of the Belaventure was
working poorly and the messages re-
ceived from her were somewhat con-
fused. She has a trip Of $50 miles ahead
of her. At dusk another blizzard had
sprung up, and there was little hope for
any of the seal hunters who had not
already been saved.
Wild Blowing OFF, Shore.
One report says that the men who
left the Newfoundland were scattered
by the moving ice fields in different
directions, radiating from the wreck
like spokes from a wheel. The wind
was blowing gale off shore and there
was a binding snowstorm, in which
the crew would be unable to find their
way in any direction. They had little
food when they left the ship and no
extra clothing. Without tents or other

Guarnieri led the way to front room

Haerle, one step behind. stepped over
his subordinate's body and saw the
man who had killed him crouching be-
hind a chair. The man fired, but his
aim was bad. and Haerles answering
shot caught Horgan behind the ear.
AS the man on the floor was struck
and threw up his hands his revolver
was discharged. Haerle, taking no
chances in the dim light, fired again.
His second bullet took effect in. Hor-
