FLETCHER REPORTS
CHECK TO REBELS
American Commander Says That
VelascO Has Force of Fresh
Troops Near TorreOn.

Washington, April s. - The Federal
army has not been eliminated at Tor
reon, according to official advices received
at the Navy Department to-day from
Rear Admiral Fletcher, commanding the
American navy in Mexican waters. Rear
Admiral Bletchers reports indicate that
the Federals have large forces on the
outskirts Of the city which General We
lasco was compelled TO evacuate.
Rear Admiral Fletcher states that Gen.
eral Mas arrived at San Pedro Colonias,
thirty miles east and north Of Torreon,
last Saturday morning with LOO men,
and with seven trainloads more on the
way. on the same day General Moure
left San Pedro Colonias and arrived In
the city OF Torreon with 1900 men and
thirty days supplies.
This news from Rear Admiral Fletcher
may account for the optimism which the
Mexican Embassy here has displayed in
the face of reports direct from Torreon.
The embassy holds that the Federal
cause at Torreon is by no means lost and
that the public here Is being misled by
exaggerated and untruthful reports from
rebel sources.

.FAlRBANKS'S PAROLE
BILL MAY AID BRIBERY
Whitman Writes the Governor
Scoring Measure at
Hearing.

James 4. Delehanty. Assistant District
Attorney. will appear before Governor
Glynn I'm Albany on Thursday afternoon
at a hearing on the Fairbanks bill. in the
effort to prevent It from becoming law.
II this measure is signed by the Gov
ernor more than eight hundred prisoners
IN Sing Sing will be released on parole.
1t is said that Warden Clancy Is pre-
pairing for trouble from the many prison
ers, who will have their hopes for re-
lease defeated in case the bill is vetoed.
The bill provides that. with some eH-
ceptions, every prisoner never before
convicted shall be subject to parole by
the board OF parole after serving one
year The exceptions are: Second degree
murder, to be paroed after fifteen years,
and first degree arson, first degree bur
glary, first degree manslaughter and kid
mapping, to be paroled after two yeSrs.
Opposed to the bill are the District At
tsrneys' Association, the New York So
ciety for the Prevention OF Cruelty TO
Children, the Mohawk and Hudson River
Humane Association and the Broome
County Humane Association. All have
written to the Governor expressing their
Views. Mr.. whitman. In his letter to
Mr.. Glynn, explains:
"One Of the objects this legislation
seeks 10 accomplish is TO make one year
the minimum term In practically all SEN
fences, not only those to be hereafter i'm
posed. but those which have already been
imposed. The public official who prost-
tites and betrays the public trust Inn
posed in him and accepts a bride to in
fiuence his official action stands exactly
on the same footing as the imperfectly
educated day laborer who In moment
Of passion strikes another. The bank
looter who steals the savings Of thou
sands Is placed on the same footing as
the clerk who pliers the petty cash box
.'The sleek bride taker and the SNUG
bank looter will be the first to claim the
benefits OF this law.
Mr. whitman is also opposed TO another
section OF the law which calls fof inior-
nation I'm the possession OF the District
Attorney and the courts TO be filed with
the secretary Of the board of parole. lie
holds that much of the information winch
comes TO the judge and the District At
torney is confidential and should not be
apread broadcast by being made a pubic
record. as the law would require.
Mr.. Delohanty will also speak TO the
Governor I'm opposition 10 the Senate bill

land County, affecting the defence of IN

ment Of criminals who claim 20 be insane

lBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

Juarez, Mexico. April 6.-From every
portion OF rebel controlled territory in
Mexico Spanish residents are being driven
from their homes and holdings. The gem
eral order has gone forth to rebel military
commanders that no Spanlards who are

and many OF the Spanlards have taken
refuge I'm the city. From the state gem
orally six hundred Spaniards have been
driven, and the rebels expect 20 find a
greater number in the city when they
take It.
From the state Of Zacatecas all Span
iards found by rebel soldiers are being
sent out of the country on short notice.
The exodus became general to-day, fol-
lowing the action OF General Villa at

General Eulalo Gutierrez, who COM
mands the rebel troops in the state OF
San Luis Potosi, Is In Juarez He says
the spanlards ordered to leave are al
lowed ample time to gather UP their per-
sonal effects but as railroads generally
are DESTROYED and the distance TO the
border is great, few can carry more than
a few extra pieces Of clothing
General Gutierrez followed up his story
of the Spanish exodus by threat against
the Jesuits i'm Mexico. And the Jesuits
come next" he exclaimed
Already several Catholic priests have
been forced to leave the country in which
the Gutierrez forces are operating. Many
Of the deported priests were said TO be
