Daniels's Order IL Regarded az
"Undeserved Punishmrut,,

Naval officers in and about New York
did not take kindly last night to the news
OF the latest order OF the Secretary Of
the Navy, but for obvious reasons d.d not
wish to have their names quoted in in
terviews.
The general attitude Of the officers TO.
ward Secretary Daniels's new order was
expressed thus by an officer on the active
list:
"Of coarse We can say nothing. and ~
this order Is issued II will be enforced and
obeyed the same as any other order. But
the officers consider II In the light of an
undiscovered punishment
THE officers Of the navy are a tenn
perate lot OF men and 80 far as I have
heard there have been no charges of
drunkenness or abuse of the present priv,-
leges, 1 have heard OF no demand for
such an order from comman ding officers
OF the navy or from others who are
familiar with naval AFFAIRS.
THE discipline and efficiency of the
navy have Increased greatly In tho past
few years and there has never been any
intimation, NO far az have heard. that
either was hndcred by the privilege en-
joyed by the officers OF having wines at
their mess--furnishod and paid for by
themselves. There hasn't been any strong
uQuor IN the mess IN muy wears
THE British and German naval authori-
ties have not found II nee, sssrv TO abolish
this privilege and both OF those bodies are
kept at the top notch Of efficiency"

SPANlARDS EXPELLED
FROM CITY OF TORREON
villa Orders 600 Of Them De-
pOrted-May Lose All
Property.

ToRkEoS. April 5.--All the Spaniards OF
this city. 500 In number. are to be ex-
PEELED by Pancho Villa. Their departure
was ordered to-day and their exodus
toward the border has already begun.
villa announced his decision this morn
ing after visiting the Spaniaris. who had
taken refuge in a bank building because
Of the strong feeling against them held
by Constitutionnlist sympnthizers, who
accuse them OF having given aid to the
Federal cause.
Upon taking possession OF Torreon Gen.
villa suggested TO the Spaniards that
none of them show themselves in the
streets, as he could not vouch for the be-
havior Of his men.
For the present all their property 10
confscated, though come of them. II they
can prove they extended no aid and COM
fort to the enemy" may recover part of
their wealth.
To establish their innocence. while not
represented before the investigators. and
with their cases in the hands OF "A hostile
court and themselves in a foreign land.
will be an almost hopeless task.
No attempt has been made BY villa to
interfere with any OF the other foreign
ers and they are free to come and go as
they please. AL the Americans in the
town are safe
Notices were posted yesterday ny J.
VI. Timer acting American Consular
Agent. on American property. warning all
persons that the property was TO b. held
invlolatc. and fixing penalty for any
transgrsssions of the orders.
The Spanish colony In Torreon num-
bered more than 1900 before villa began
his attack. but many feared the fall Of
the city and left TO- the border. About
600 decided to remain and take their
chances When tho battle started the
Spaniards put themselves under the pro-
lection OF Mr.. Ulmer. who placed them IN
the building of the La guna Bank. a large
structure. where the entire colony lived
for days, fearing even to show themselves
on tho streets.
When villa finally took the city an
appeal was made to him in behalf Of the
Spanards but he sent word that II would
be better for them to remain under cover.
as he feared his men might become
angered at them and kill them.
Spanish holdings In Torreon mount In
the millions. Some OF the largest whole
sale houses in the city and number Of
the larger retail stores are owned by
Spaniards In addition Spaniards here are
large property owners. and they fear that
all their holdings will DO Immediately con-
hscatcd by Villa and sold TO raise money
