Brownsville, Tex. April 6-Gen. Pab . To Gonzales, Mexican constitutionalist commander in Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon, and his staff expect to leave Matamoras tomorrow morning to begin campaign against Monterey. 1t was stated on good authority in Matamoras tonight. He will go to Ramones sta ton 49 miles east of Monterey, and it was declared that the final advance on the city will be made from there. Ramones is sarrisoned by a force of about 15OO men.

Just As Effective

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger Col. Preston of Grand Beach, Me-, tells this story about new chauffeur he added to his household this year: Pats knowledge of auto mechanics is surprising, but like many another man he despises his vocation and yearns to be a sportsman. The colonel possesses a collection of firearms of which he is proud and this has been a continual attraction for Pat who spends much of his spare time in gazing in admiration at, the guns in their glass cases and gently lingering them with loving care when permitted to polish them
 One day he came to the colonel very bashfully and inquired, Colonel, dear. would yez be lettin' me hoy tn loan av this wan for this afternoon?'
 The piece was an old muzzle-loader of Civil war days and his master, thinking that Pat wanted to play joke on some one, and knowing that the gun could not possibly be fired. readily consented.
 Toward evening he observed Pat, array ed in full automobile toggery. trudging off towards the woods with the gun on his shoulder
 Where are you going, Pat?'' asked
 "Shure. sir. an Oi'm goin' ter hunt rabbits in tn woods beyant."
 But that gun is no good; 1t has been out of order for 20 years!'
 Faith thot may be, sir; but shure tn rabbits won't know thot.'

Tells of Battle

Juarez, April 6.-George c. Carothers. special representative of the state de- partment, who has been through the Torreon engagement with General Vil Ia, returned here tonight to assist in negotiations looking to the welfare of the 500 Spaniards ordered out of Tor reon by the rebels. He brought with him the first nonpartisan eyewitness account of the battle.
 MT. Carothers kept a brief diary of events which he witnessed but he was too greatly fatigued after his trip. which began at Torreon yesterday. to give more than a brief outline to re- porters.
 ''The rebel loss" said MT. Carothers. was 600 killed and HOO wounded We don't know the federal loss accurately except that Villa found in the hospitals sos of their wounded"
 Asked why Velasco, the federal con- mander, evacuated the city, MT Caroth1 CTS said the federal leaders one excuse was that he had run out of small arm ammunition.
 However" the state department agent smiled, q think he was mistaken about that. for when he started burn- ing his ammunition we could hear the rifle cartridges popping and it seemed to me as if there must have been D. 900. 900 of them, more or less.
 q am convinced that the real req : son was that Villas tireless hammering wore down his men until they could no longer fight.
 "They had been on the scantiest of rations of both food and water and were all in. as the phrase has it.''
