R0CKAWAY CAR AFlRE
Short Circuit Starts Blaze in
Wooden L. I. r. R. Coach.

Fire started in a wooden car OF a
Long Island Railroad Rockaway Beach
train yesterday afternoon as the train
was passing over the long trestle be-
tween the Raunt and Goose Creek.
Three Far Rockaway flremen who were
on the train extinguished IT, flames,
with the assistance Of the train crew.
The fire followed the breaking Of the
control pipe. which caused a short cir
cult. The crackle and fash of the cleo
trio current alarmed the passengers
and terrified some of the women and
children. A panic was prevented by the
prompt work Of the firemen and the
train crew.
The fire occurred in the second car
of a four-car train. The other three
were Of steel construction. The flames
caused delay of seventeen minutes.
Some of the passengers were restrained
with difficulty from leaving the cars
and walking across the trestle.

that the San Francisco bridge had
been DESTROYED. General Funston's dis

The bridge is one of the largest in
Mexico and it makes use of the Inter-

Torreon. Mexico. May 17.-From east,
west and south to-day came news of
sweeping rebel victories and the con-
quest of Northern Mexico by fighting
rebel forces appears rapidly nearing
completion. Many have been killed or
wounded in the conflicts.
On the west coast a succession Of vic-
tories gives TO the rebels practically all
the towns which the Federals held.
Tepic and San Bias have been added
10 the rebel list Of cities taken, and Sal
tillo is believed to be almost ready TO
be added to the same list.
Fighting was general to-day all
through the territory surrounding Sal
tillo. Following the news of the capt
ure Of Ramos Arispe, couriers to-day
brought news OF battle at Fraustro,
between Saltillo and Monclova, in
which twenty-five Federals and twenty
rebels were killed and more than fifty
wounded on each side. The Federals,
numbering thirteen hundred and COM
manded by General Guardiola, were re-
treating from Monclova TO Saltillo
when attacked by about four hundred
rebels, who had been sent out by villa
to patrol the railway Rebel cannon.

They fear that stubborn Federal re-

Torreon battle, in which the rebels suf

evident disinclination TO return to Tor
reon or the section in which Villa is
operating. Friends OF Carranza are
said TO have advised him to keep as
much as possible out Of Villas way.

OF a constantly widening breach are
being revived here.
So uncertain are the movements Of
Carrsnza that it now is difficult 70 say

part Of the Constitutionalist cabinet
still is in the city Of Chihuahua, several
members are in Torreon, and General
Carranza being In the State Of Zacat-

scattered one. Just where the capital
now is and where it may be later are
proving puzzling to the rebels.
