eral Huerta's announcement at Mexico
City that the feueraI army had been
ordered to assume the offensive
against the rebels, has been put in ef-
feet at Torreon, according to reports
which came from that city yesterday.

Villas rebel forces, scattered at points
between here and Torreon, have de-
layed indefinitely their threatened ad-
vance, the federal soldiers, equipped
with new field pieces and an abund-
ance of ammunition, are reported to
have moved toward the rebel outposts

General Villas delay in moving
south, according to the reports from
Torreon, has greatly encouraged the
FEDERAL garrison and has done much
to remove the terror of Villas name,
which it was first thought might cause
the federals to evacuate their north
ern strongholds without fight.
Huerta Adds to Strength.
While General villa has remained
here. 800 miles north OF the federal
garrison. attending chiefly to civil af-
fairs, the federals at Torreon under
General Refugio Velasco are reported
to have extended their outposts to
Mapimi. Dremijillo, and other points
so miles outside the city.
Small but unimportant skirmishes
already have taken place.
A late message from Torreon said:
For the last four weeks Huerta has
been pouring federal soldiers into Tor
