San Pedro, 40 miles east of Torreon,
from the federal garrison there This
information came from villa to Gen
eral Carranza
Villa reported that the fighting was
desperate and of hand-to-hand char
acter in the streets of the town. The
news that he had taken the town was
telegraphed later. He said he took
number of prisoners. He also said
in his message that the garrison at
San Pedro was the late federal garri-
son at Torreon, but correspondents
who have been at the front declare
that ii was known generally in Tor.
reon that General Velasco had al.
ready reached Saltillo and that the
garrison at San Pedro was only
comparatively small one left behind

Carranza and his officers are much
elated over visit paid to them by
H. G. Myles, recently appointed Brit.
ish consul to Juarez, and his opening
negotiations with them relative to
certain British citizens and interests
in the rebel territory. Heretofore all
British matters have been presented
Informally to the rebel government
by the United States diplomatic
agents.
The rebels attach much Importance
to the British consul's visit. Mr..
Myles takes a different view, how.
ever. He said: II was ordered by
the British ambassador in Washing.
ton to go to Juarez unofficially and
ask Carranza to see that the British
oil property and other interests in
the Tampico district be respected.
That was all there was to. the confer.

States ano the South American Re

ana-Creat Britain Said to Have
Approved the Convention.
Washington, April 11.-Free use OF
the Panama canal by Colombian men.
of-war, troop ships and army and
navy vessels, is proposed in the new
treaty between the United States and
Colombia signed at Bogota to heal
the breach between the two coun.
tries over the separation of Panama.
This was announced by Secretary
Bryan, with the explanation that the
clause in the convention is identical
with the one in the Colombian treaty
negotiated by Secretary Root in 1903,
with the approval of Great Britain
and ratified by the United States
senate, though never accepted by Co
lombia.
Mr.. Bryan's statement followed q
~SAo NONiCAChNO at Sn0 BSdt6
ment with Senator O'Gorman, chair
man of the senate canals committee,
which has under consideration the
administration bill repeating the
clause of the Panama act exempting
American coastwise shipping from
canal tolls.
Senator O'Gorman, who is leading
the Democratic opposition to Presi-
dent Wilson's repeal policy. went
back to the Capitol carrying new am
munition for his fight He would not
discuss the matter himself, but other
opponents of exemption repeal point
ed to the fact that Great Britain in
1909 had agreed to preferential treat
ment for Colombian vessels because
OF Colombia's peculiar relation to
the canal rs evidence that Great
Britain and President Wilson now
are putting a new construction on the
words "all nations" in the clause of
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty guaran-
teeing equal treatment to the vessels
Of the nations of the world using the
canal. Their claim is that these
words were not intended to apply to
the United States, the owner of the
canal, and they will urge the admis-
sion of Great Britain in the Colom-
bian matter as proof.
Mr.. Bryan said the treaty signed at
Bogota employs the language of the
Root-Cortez ship canal treaty grant
ing the use of the waterway to "the
troops, materials for war and ships
Of war to the republic Of Colombia,
without paying any duty to the Unit
ed States; even in case of an inter
national war between Colombia and
another country"
When the new treaty has been rat
flied, Mr.. Bryan explained, it will be
necessary to conclude a treaty be-
tween Colombia and Panama. He did
not say whether the acceptance by
all concerned of the tripartite
treaties would solve all the problems
pending among Panama, Colombia
and the United States. nor would he
give any further hint Of the pro.
visions of the latest Colombian
treaty, which win be made public
next Wednesday.
