Royal Sympathy

The minister of marine and fisher
les, Mr.. Piccott announced tonight
that he would go on the steamer Kyle
to direct her work and that she would
make a thorough search from Cape
Race to the Canadian coast for the
Southern Cross.
King George and Queen Mary sent
a message today expressing their deep
sympathy with the families of the
dead fishermen.
A wireless from the Bellaventure at
midnight said she would probably
reach here early tomorrow morning.
She reported that she had 30 New
foundland survivors on board requir-
ing immediate hospital attention.
Provisions have been made for caring
for these men and the removal of the
bodies of the dead. Lists just receiv-
ed of the victims of the Newfoundland
disaster include the names of two
boys of IA years who went aboard the
vessel at this port as stowaways, lur-
ed by the excitement of the seal hunts.
Most of the dead were residents of
Bonavista Bay. the home of the New
foundlands captain, and nearly all
were heads of families.

Agent Carothers' Report

Washington. April 9f-Following
closely upon the official advices to-
day from George c. Carothers, the
American consular agent at Torreon,
of the fight of the Federal troops
f, ON that city, came prediction
from Rear Admiral Fletcher that the
important gulf port of Tampico prob
ably would be abandoned by the Fed
erals without a fight
Administration officials made no
comment on the result at Torreon and
official sentiment is not likely to crys-
talize until more is known of the bat
tie itself and it's effects in Mexico
City and elsewhere.
Mr.. Carothers' report of the fall of
Torreon was remarkable for its lack
of detail, particularly with reference
to the losses sustained on both sides
ard the movements of the retreating
Federals.
The absence of any news from the
Federal reinforcements under Gener-
ais Mas and Moure led to some spec
ulation among the army staff officers
and to a suggestion that perhaps a
junction with these forces to the east
ward and make the town untenable
for Villa by threatening his line OF
communication with the north. The
general opinion. however, was that

Division of Mexico and
Possibilities of Situation

Juarez. Mex, April 3.--With the taking
of Torreon by the rebels last night. Con-
stitutionalists now control an immense
wedge-shaped portion of Mexico, with
the point resting on Torreon. 800 miles
south of here, and the top extending
along the American border from Noga-
les, Ariz., to a point just west of Eagle
Pass, Tex. At Piedras Negras, known
also as Ciudad Porfiirio Diaz, across the
Rio Grande from Eagle Pass, there is a
Federal garrison, but 1t does not now
constitute menace to the rebels.
The states now subject to the rebel
arms are Chihuahua, Sonora Except the
port of Guaymas). most of Coahuila. Du-
range and Sinaloa.
Yesterdays victory is said to make the
capture of Saltillo and Monclova in Goa
hula and Monterey, the key to the state
of Nuevo Leon. assured. The main Fed
eral force, according to Villa'e report to
General Carranza, was wiped out by
death, wounds, capture or flight at Gomez
Palacio and Torreon. Mazatlan, the Fed
eral port in the state of Sinaloa, by the
victory of the veteran rebel army at Tor
reon also is In a precarious state.
Thus by his successful campaign of the
last month Gen. Francisco Villa has
practically assured rebel control of the
vast territory of the northern states of
Mexico and gained for himself the repu-
tation of being the foremost soldier of
the country.
1t was but little over a year ago that
he started out from a village near here
with two companions, six horses, seven
dollars in money and a meagre supply of
beans, coffee and sugar. The horses at
the time were not paid for, and Villa S
first act upon capturing this city three
months ago was to repay the liveryman
from whom the horses were borrowed. -
General Pablo Gonzales for months has
harrassed the Federal forces at Monclo-
va and Monterey and now that the Tor
reon army is loosed strategists here as
sumo that the Federals will evacuate
these points and attempt to retreat to
Tampico, the seaport OF the state Of Ia
maulipas. The state is sprinkled with
rebel troops all along the line of retreat,
which makes 1t evident that the Federal
garrisons already are threatened with
capture by immensely superior numbers.
A railroad runs from Torreon to the
city of Durango, which is held by the
rebels, and the overland journey from
that point to Mazatlan lays through a
country which is agricuiturally rich and
we'll watered. 1t would be a pleasant
march for an army fresh from the hor-
rors of hunger and thirst in the desert.
The railroad, however, is cut at Picar-
dis, where the big steel bridge over the
of xt1ot

over it, however, by the use of shuttle
trains.
Interest here today was divided in
speculation as to Villas future move
ments and the effect, If any. that the
rebel triumph would have in Washington.

Preparations were made to have
the Kyle start at midnight for a
cruise along the southeastern coast,
off which the Southern Cross was last
seen on Tuesday morning, few
hours before the three days blizzard
set in.
Although the vessels of the social

which the Southern Cross was one,
have bucked ice fields with impunity
and are regarded as very stauneh
ships, sealers say with 1900 seal pelts
aboard she would be in danger during

of her unstable cargo shifting.

Discussion by Politi=
cal and Social Scien=
fists on Doctrine
And Its Stand
Speakers Agreed on Principle
But Not Application

Philadelphia, April 3.-That the
principal of the Monroe Doctrine is
just as alive as it ever was and that
President Monroes declaration is not
an obsolete shibboleth" was the trend
of discussion today at the annual
meeting of the American Academy of
Political and Social Science, which is
considering the present International
relations and obligations of the Unit
ed States. While the speakers with
few exceptions were in agreement up
on the general principle of the doctrine
there were some variations as to its
application.
Rear Admiral Colby NJ. Chester urg
ed a concert of action among the
American Republics in a policy of
America for Americans" which, he
said, was endorsed by Admiral George
Dewey.
John Barrett, director general of the
Pan-American Union, advocated a
"Pan-American policy" in which each
one of the 20 American countries
should have the same independence
as the United States, SO as to eliminate
any sense of fear on the part of Gen.
trail and South American states as to
United States aggression.
Former Governor MacCorkle of West
Virginia argued that the Monroe doc
trine was necessary to the peace and
safety of the United States.
Declaring that the real object of
the present revolution in Mexico 'is
not merely to avenge the death of the
late President Madero, but it based
on social and economic considera-
tions," Robert v. Pesquiera. confiden-
tial agent in the United States of Gen.
Carranza, in his paper discussed what
he declared had led up to the Madero
revolution of which he said the pres
ent Constitutional movement is but
continuation.
THE revolution of 1910 led by Ma
dero,' said Mr.. Pesqueira, was not
inspired by personal ambition or thirst
of power. Madero's critics admit that.
Even Porfirio Diaz after the fall OF
Juarez, reluctantly recognized the
movement as one based on economic
and social considerations. The gov
eminent of the mailed fist or the
iron hand can never impose per-
manent peace in Mexico" eontinued
Mr. Pesqueira, Such p peace can be
secured only through proper aus
iustment of political economic and So
cial conditions TO that adjustment
the reactionary element IN Mexico is
onnosed. but the Constitutional party
is intent on making it effective by
| armed force. ss-.-
The interests of foreigners, as well
as Mexicans, he said, can only be con-
served by means of reforms calculated
to promote the general welfare OF the
masses and by maintaining an equlilp-
rum between capital and labor

Juarez Mad with Elation
Holds Wild Celebration

Juarez. Mex. April S-Never in all its
dramatic history since the Madero revo-
luton of 1910 has Juarez gone so nearly
mad with enthusiasm as it did when a
foot messenger from military headquar-
tiers ran through the streets shrieking
that Torreon had fa''en. Drunk with Ella
ton, men embraced each other wherever
they met. Bells in the 300-year-old mis-
sion of Guadalupe were set ringing loud
er and faster than ever they had rung
for religious purposes. Khaki-clad rebel
soldiers woke from their sleep in the
towns many barracks to cheer. Then,
stirred by a common impulse. their rifles
were turned loose into the air. For a
time, Inhabitants of Ell Paso supposed
Juarez was again suffering one of its
periodical attacks.
Finely dressed officials, high in the Car
rama administration, threw their arms
around unwashed private soldiers in the
streets and yelled their delight. The mu-
nicipal band. hastily routed from their
beds, paraded through the streets play
ing the national hymn and serenading
Carranza until the Consttutionalist first
chief tired of the music.
In the gambling hall conducted by
Villas agents for the benefit OF the rebel
treasury. all play ceased. while gamblers
and employees and spectators alike shout
ed their joy.
Through 1t all only one name was heard
above all others. 1t was "Villa-Viva
Villa.
Common soldiers mingled freely with
the highest officials of the rebel govern
ment in a cabaret resort and were invit-
ed to drink to the glory of the insur-
gent army. Virtually the only place open
in the Mexican border where drinks
might be bought, this cabaret was crowd
ed to the doors with civil and military
men of all ranks. In all stages of dress,
for the hour was late, they crowded in
to embrace friends and toast the con-
quering general In the midst of all the
rejoicing American ragtime music tinkled
from an antiquated plano in the corner.
while American women from Ell Paso
danced the one-step with Mexican part
ners In the middle of the big room.
When the shooting of rifles and pistols
in celebration began, dozens of Federal
sympathizers in FL Paso awoke and made
rush for the international bridge,
thinking that by some unexpected stroke
of fortune Federal forces were attacking
Juarez. But they turned back crestfallen
when informed by American soldiers on
duty at the bridges that the fall of Tor
reon was the cause. Rebel soldiers guard
ing the Mexican end OF the structures
saw the proceeding and howled haunting
insults at the "Huertaistas' who had
come to see the Federals retake
Juarez"
BY O'Clock in the morning the excite
ment had died away. and the streets were
deserted. ss.,-sa

Carranza home when the news of the
fall of Torreon was received.
General Carranza had been in COM
munication with Gomez Palacio off
and on last night for sometime Mr..
Belden said, land was chatting with
members of his family. He seemed
very cheerful, even buoyant. AT II
o'clock the telegraph operator came
into the room with a piece Of paper
in his hand.
We'll, muchacho, is it Torreon? ?"
and the general smiled as one who
knew what the answer would be.
Yes my chief was the reply.
"Carranza kissed his wife and
daughters.
Have the bugler sound the call of
triumph he then ordered, and give
me the telephone. l must tell Mrs.
Villa
His was the first news of her hus-
bands achievement to reach Mrs.
Villa.
"Carranza's next act was to teie-
graph a message of hearty congratula-
ton to Villa. Meanwhile friends of
Mrs Villa were calling her on the
telephone with words of congratula-
ton, while Others despite the hour,
called in person, and wine, reserved
for the occasion, was gratefully drunk
to the victorious general, to his loyal
lieutenants and those who gave their
lives"
The victory gave the rebels undis-
puted control of the central part OF
northern Mexico, six hundred miles
south from the Rio Grande.
The full effect cannot be summar-
lied in a moment, but in prestige and
power, it is said, its value is incalcul-
able. 1t is certain to make recruit
ing a comparatively simple matter.

The movement is said to be signifi-
cant of a local sentiment that If the
revolution is carried to complete
success the counter-revelutions which
1t has generally been predicted would
follow. really would not materialize.
Mr.. Curry said he was convinced
that foreign sentiment held to the be-
lief that recognition of Huerta being
out of the question, the time has come
for foreigners to lend such aid to
the Carranza revolution as will help
it to a speedy conclusion. kilograms
sounding senators and representatives
In Washington on the proposed propo-
ganda were sent tonight.
THE fall of Torreon puts the dollar

said J. s. Curtis of FL Paso, Texts,
who is considered the most expert spe-
cialist in Mexican Constitutionalist
money in the United States.
ITO date the Mexican Constitutional
list government to their joint account
have issued 60O00,000 dollars of paper
fiat currency.
"Carranza has issued 80 million dol
lars to date and Villa has issued from
chihuahua, 80 millions more of his own
currency.
"The Carranza issue has seld as
high as SO cents on the dollar, Unit
ed States gold and as low as Is cents,
during the days of depression as to
the success of the Carranza govern
ment in the North.
"The Villa money on its first ap-
pearance in Juarez in December, 1913,
had no market whatever except in a
nominal one in Juarez.
"Since its issuance it has sold as
high as SO cents on the dollar and re-
Gently as low as 10 cents, but today
the Torreon success has established a
firm and broad market for Villas cur
rency at 90 to % cents on the dollar"

the measure by some Of the Republi-
can senators. Such Republicans as
Senators Root, Lodge. Burton and Nc
Cumber are counted upon as unalter-
ably opposed to toll exemption for
American ships and with these votes
the administration leaders retain their
confidence that nothing can prevent
ultimate victory for the repeal bill.
Bill Provides for Contracts
A bill authorizing the President to
contract with American registered
steamships and steamship lines using
the Panama canal was introduced to-
day by Rep. Edmonds Of Pennsylvania.
Under it, tolls on American ships
would be RENTED for period of 10
years, the amount of such tolls to be
payable out of the treasury every six
months, and the American ships would
be required to carry mails of all kinds
without charge to the government.
