ATTACK ON TORREON
RENEWED BY VILLA
More Than Twenty Thousand
Men Grapple in Battle to
Death at One of Federal
StrOngh0lds.

Ell. VERJEL, Mexico, March 25.-
More than twenty thousand soldiers
grappled in a battle to the death at
Torreon today. After a cessation in
his attack from 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon until dawn today. General
Villa. commander-in-chief of the con-
stitutional forces, renewed bis attack
upon the federal army of General
Nelasco
Villa sent about II 900 men into the
combat, holding in reserve more than
] 900, mostly cavalry. Opposing him
were 5000 federals. The federal army
originally consisted of more than
5000 men, but prisoners taken by
Villa and sent on here declared that
1900 government soldiers had been
killed and wounded in the fighting of
Monday and Tuesday, The rebel
loss. according to constitutionalist Of
ficers, is estimated at 700. The total
losses on both sides as based upon
these estimates is 1900. the heaviest
that has marked any battle in the
present war.
The renewal of the battle was an
nounced in message from General
Villa at his temporary headquarters
near Gomez Palacio. In this he said
''The army of Mexican liberty is
marching to victory. We are renew.
ing the attack on Torreon. Every
thing IS well. The artillery is doing
great service and our triumph is as
sured"
A report had been circulated here
during the night that the federals had
made sortie from Torreon and had
captured Gomez Palacio, but as Villas
message said nothing of fighting a,
the latter point, the report is now dis
credited.
Villa was compelled to halt his mair
attack on Torreon over night to give
his soldiers an opportunity for rest

COL, SEELY RESIGNS
WAR SECRETARYSH|P
IN BRITISH CABINET
Interference i'm Mobilization
of Troops to Crush Ulster
Volunteers Assigned AS
Reason.

LONDON, March 25.-Premier AS
quith's cabinet was shaken today by
the resignation of Colonel John Ed
ward Bernard Seely, secretary of war
The resignation was officially announc-
ed this evening. The head of the war
gave up his post because
of interference with his plan for mobil-
iZing the army to crush the Ulster
volunteers, organized to fight home
rule.
Premier Asquith refused to accept
the resignation.
News of Seelys resignation came
while the house of commons was hold
ing the stormiest session that has
marked the progress of legislation
since the home rule bill was intro
duced.
Winston Churchill, first lord of the
admiralty and one of the chief advo-
Gates of an aggressive poplicy against
the people of Ulster, was made the
target for an attack by the UniOnists
shortly after the house of commons
convened. He was bombarded with
questions as to his attitude of the
government toward Ulster. and re-
piled calmly until asked whether he
had hopes that the precautions taken
to guard the government stores in VI
ster would cause fighting.
Repudiates Allegation.
Leaping to his feet, the head of the
British navy shouted:
Perhaps ! may be allowed to re-
pudiate that hellish insinuation.'
A prolonged uproar followed, the
Unionists demanding that Churchill
withdraw the expression ''hellish in
sinuation," and the Liberals shouting
mo. no, he's right
Speaker Lowther finally rules that
Churchill would have to withdraw the
expression, and he complied amid a
deafening din of shrieks and Kisses.
When the confusion was over the
Churchill incident had been quieted
Colonel Seely was questioned by
members of the opposition as to the
proceedings in Ulster.

Colonel Seely made a flat denial
that King George had taken any in

refusal of Ulster officers to march
against their countrymen. He elabo-

ing to the Ulster matter which the
government had made public earlier

of men who had gone to the polls with
the intention OF voting dry became
indignant when challenged by the

A grand jury to investigate the al
legged violations of election laws, was
asked for by Prosecuting Attorney
Keller in circuit court today, and
Judge Fox announced that he will call
the jury during the April term OF
court, which starts April l and con-
tinues until October l.
The judge and the prosecuting at
torney both agreed that it would be
unfair to call the jury at once be-
cause of the excitement which will
still be prevalent over the election
for several weeks. The jury probably
will be called late in April or in May.
