BIRMINGHAM, ALA, April

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, April
Oscar w. Underwood won
the Senatorial nomination over
Richmond P. Hobson in yester-
days Democratic primary by
approximately $4,000 majority.
Official figures are lacking in
all the races, and the count is
very slow. owing to the lengthy
ballot. However enough re-
turns have come in to indicate
that IIobson carried only about
- of the 81 counties of the
State.
Both Hobson and Underwood will
retire from the House March 4 next,
Underwood entering the United
States Senate and Hobson private
life. No more decisive victory has
been won in Alabama in years.
Frank S, White was nominated over
Ray Rushton Of Montgomery, as the

for this place is accepted more in tie

pie Of the State than otherwise. as

MYSTERY IN
FITCH Of
FEDERALS
Reported Reinforced Army of
Huerta Is to Try to Recap
ture Torreon.

JUAREZ, MEXICO. April Late
dispatches received here from Tor
reon have failed to clear up the mys-
terry surrounding the movements of
Federal and Constituencies troops
on the desert east Of that city, but it
is the general belief here to-day that
General Velasco the Huerta COM
mander, has escaped with his main
army
1t is rumored that the rebel cav
airy of General Hernandez was forced
to abandon its pursuit of the FEEDER
ais at San Pedro after reinforce
ments, headed by General Mas and
General DeMoure, had joined Velas-
cos men, and that the united Fed
eral forces OF 5000 men are moving
to assail General Villa in Torreon.
Some doubt was cast on this rumor,
however by brief announcement
from General Villa that he would soon
return To Chihuahua and then come to
Juarez for a conference with Cen
eral Carranza.
To Have American Cannon.
After that, he said, we shall at
tack Monterey. In my assault upon
that city, expect to have my artiI-
lery division armed with the latest
American cannon and good ammuni-
ton, which will make the capture of
that city less difficult than was the
overthrow Of Torreon.
Advices received here state that
pathetic scenes attended the expulsion
Of Spaniards at Torreon. Men, chill
dren and women wept and begged
Villa not to seize their possessions
and drive them out penniless, but he
spurned all pleas and urged all SOL
di6rs to drive the supplicants into the
railroad cars provided for their use.
The first train of refugees is expected
to arrive o-night or early to-mor-
row Railroad officials were notified
that there We're 300 Spaniards on the
train when it left Torreon.
Why He Expelled Spanisrds.
A dispatch to Torreon asking villa
Why he had expelled the Spaniards
brought this reply:
1T is contrary to the nature of the
Spaniard to attend to his own bust
ness. Americans, English, French
and Germans come to Mexico to make
money and devote all their time to
making money They do not mingle
in politics. The Sranlards are not
content with making money-they
want us at their feet"
Villa has received hundreds of
congratulatory messages from the
United States since nc captured Tor
reon.
THE Americans nave certainly
shown great fairness during our
troubles in Mexico and shall not
forget IT, he said

Although the Governments major
ity on the division on the second

to 80, members Of the Cabinet do not

lection OF the peers will be rejected.
The measure becomes law by regal
assnt
1t now remains for the Govern
ment and representative Of the anti
home rulers Of Ulster province to
reach an agreement. There is every
likelihood that this soon will be an
accomplished fact
The conciliatory attitude adopted
within the past few days by Sir Ed
ward Carson. leader Of the Ulster
Unionists. and some Of the chief fol-
lowers. indicates that the Orangemen
will accept the original proposals Of
the Government which give the
Protestants in the Ulster counties the
right Of a referendum to say whether
or not they shall be excluded from the
workings Of the home rule bill for six
years. The sea of politics still bub-
bles hotly, but the talk Of civil war
has died out.
