not later than Saturday On the other
hand, Miguel Diebold OF Huertas con-
sular service exhibited kilograms say
ing the rebels had been repulsed at
all points
Diebold asserted that when at first
the rebels thought they had Gomez
Palacio they were the victims of
trap. as result Of which they lost
heavily in dead and wounded. not to
mention the loss of six hundred prison
ers. The federal retreat, he said. was
a feint to draw the rebels over 127
dynamite mines, which, he said, were
exploded under the invaders with the
result mentioned.
Gen. Villas telegram as given out by
Gen. Chao. asserted that the rebels
were still maintaining base at Ell Yer

while the railroad line between the two
places was being repaired He added
that the federais had attempted 70
evacuate Torreon through the hills to
the south. but were driven back into
the city.

ed that for the swezty-four hours pre-
ceding his taking Of Gomez Palacio the
battle was confined mostly to artillery
practice. Villa is quoted as saying
that his men were moving into posi-
tions for the attack of Torreon proper.

rebels have in store for them.

Report of Peace Commission on
Balkan War Declared False
and Misleading.

Washington, May 3l.-The feeling that
has been engendered in the Greek colony
in Washington by the report OF the Car
nogie Peace Commission on the Balkan
war was shown in statement to-day by
Or. John Constas, Of Washington, who
has lust returned from the Balkans. DR..
Constas charges that the commission
made false statements in the report and
drew false differences from the facts TO
shield Bulgaria and to discredit Greece.
81 do not content myself with saying
merely that some of the members OF the
commission were pro-Bulgarian," says Or.
Constas. II mean that some Of the mem
bers Of the commission in making their
report on the atrocities OF the Balkan
war made statements that were untrue
and misleading.
ut IS no eXaggeration for me to state
that If there is another war in the Balk-
ans this commission, sent out BY an or
eanization that makes it a business 10

for the outbreak Of such struggle. It's
report has served only TO emphasize the
bitterness Of feeling among the Balkan
movers This is true because II made
misstatements, and international mis-
statements must in the end lead TO trouble

Dayton Investigations on the advanced

Opinion is general that If these roads

however, that these two Investigations

mission so far as all Of the railroads are
concerned. If the increase is 20 he al

Although members OF the commission
decline to discuss the rate question. it is
reported from good source that ma

Of granting the increase. II Is said that
there IS only one dissenter and that his
colleagues are doing their best TO bring

Another phase OF the question that
makes for early decision IS the anxiety
of the administration that something be
done TO improve the general business con-
ditons of the country. Although the
White House disclaims taking any part III
the question, II is understood that the
President would not be greatly dlsap-
pointed if the increased rates were al

As things are the Democrats have
