Juarez, Mex, April 8. = With the
capture of Torreon by the rebels last
night, constitutionalists now control
an immense wedge-shaped portion Of
Mexico with the point resting on Tor

border from Nogales, Arizona, to a
point just west of Eagle Pass, Texas
At Piedras Negras, across from Eu-
gle Pass, there is federal garrison,
but it is not menacing. The states
subject to rebel arms are Chihuahua,
Sonora Except the port of Guay-

Interest here today was divided in
speculation as to Villas future move

MURDER TRIAL OF INTEREST
BEGINS in SAVANNAH
Shelby MyriCk One Of Lead.
ing Lawyers in Case

Savannah, Ga, April 3.-The trial
OF Walter B. Brooks, the patrolmar
who is charged with the murder Of
Charles Barbour, Greek, in the lat
ter's room several weeks ago bega /
this morning in the superior court
The court room was packed almost
to suffocation when the case was
called Brooks is to answer a charge
of murder. He is defended by Gen.
P. w. Meldrim, one of the best
known criminal and civil lawyers IL
the state, and by Col. Shelby Myrick.
The solicitor general is aided in the
prosecution by Judge John E. Schwar1
the city recorder. 1t is evident that
the case is to be hard fought on both
sides. There is long array of wit
nesses, some of them being neighbors
of Brooks. 1t is claimed that Brool :
believed his wife faithless and blamed
Barbour for her indscretions. If she
was faithless before the shooting Mrs.
Brooks has certainly been the opposite
since She has been as faithful as it Is
possible for a wife to be in her devo-
ton to her husband since his incar-
ceration.

tleship Bulwark was blown up and

her commander, and all her officers.
But IL of Grew Saved.
Only twelve OF ner crew were saved.
1t is announced officially that the eX
plosion was internal and originated in
the ships magazine
The disaster is the most appalling
the British navy has suffered in the
war. 1t is even more of shock than
the loss of the Aboukir, Cressy and
HOgue at the hands of a single sub
marine on the North Sea, for the Bull
wark was destroyed from within, de-
stroyed utterly and instantly. The men

Band Playing at Time.
The band was playing aboard the
Bulwark. Near her were anchored
several other ships. The morning was
calm and but for the presence OF the
battleship swinging at her anchor
chains there was nothing to suggest
anything but peace. Alongside the
Bulwark was a lighter. From it were
being loaded over the side of the d.,
000-ton battleship fresh ammunition
stores for her l2-inch and 6-inch guns
The Bulwark sank in three minutes
from the time of the explosion.
A vice admiral and a rear admiral
of the Royal navy, who were at Sheer
ness, investigated Immediately and re-
ported that it was their conviction that
it was an internal magazine explosion
that rent the ship asunder.
The explosion was so violent that
debris from the battleship was scat
tered over the coal fields in Essex
county littering the towns and coun-
tryside. At Southend-on Sea, on the
Essex coast, the concussion of the ex-
plosion was plainly felt and likened
by the inhabitants to severe earth.
quake. Buildings in the vicinity of
Sheerness were shaken to their founda-
tions.
Although twelve years old and no
longer in the first fighting line of the
navy, the Bulwark still was a useful
unit.
Considering the size of her navy,
Great Britain has been singularly free
from disasters of this character New

Germans Throw Weight in West.
Our enemies elected at the begin
ming of the war to throw the weight
of their forces against our armies in
the west and to detach only a com
paratively weak force composed Of
very few of the first line troops and
several corps of second and third line
troops to stem the Russian advance
until the western forces could be COM
pletely defeated and overwhelmed.
Their strength enabled them from the
outset to throw greatly superior forces
against us in the west. This precludes
the possibility of our taking vigorous
offensive action except when miscalcu-
lations and mistakes are made by their
commanders, opening up special Op-
portunities for successful attacks and
pursuits.
Holding Ground Gained.
The battle Of the Marne was an eX-
ample Of this, as also was our advance
from St Omer and Hazebrouck to the
line OIL the River Lys at the commence
ment of this battle The role which
our armies in the west consequently
have been called upon to fulfill has
been to occupy strong defensive posi-
tions, holding ground gained, and in
viting the enemy's attack and to throw
back these attacks, causing the enemy
heavy losses in his retreat and follow
ing him up with powerful and success
full cOunter-attacks to complete his dis
comfiture.
THE value and significance of oper-
ationS of this nature since the begin
ming of hostilities by the Allies forces
in the west lies in the fact that at the
moment when the Eastern provinces
of Germany are in imminent danger Of
being overrun by the numerous and
powerful armies of Russia, nearly the
whole active army of Germany is tied
down to line of trenches extending
from Verdun on the Alsatian frontier
to the sea at Nieuport, east of Dun
kirk Ca distance of 260 miles), where
they are held. with much reduced num-
bers and impaired morale, by the sue
cessful action Of our troops in the
west.
Il cannot speak too highly of the
services rendered by the Royal Artil-
lery throughout the battle. In spite of
the fact that the enemy brought up in
support Of his attacks guns of great
range and shell power, our men have
succeeded throughout in preventing
the enemy from establishing anything
in the nature Of superiority in artil-
lery. The skill, courage and energy
displayed by the commanders of the
Royal Artillery have been very
marked"
