Of Torreon. the only real obstacle in
the way of the rebel troops in their
march to the City of Mexico, has
fallen, according to unofficial mes
sages received here.
The battle was opened by the Villa
and hundreds were shot down by both
armies.
The Villa troops opened a surprise
attack on the enemy at Gomez Palacio,
suburb three miles out of the city
proper, and thus gained an entrance to
the city. Several hundred wounded
have already been taken into the city
by the federal forces and Villas
wounded are being carried along as
his army advances.
General Choa was at the telegraph
office here trying to get a confirma-
ton OF the report that the Huerta
forces have surrendered. Early yes
terday morning he received a message
from General Villa, who expressed
confidence that the city would be
taken by noon.
Because Of the battle the telegraph
lines have been interrupted and prac-
tically no news has come through.
Choa says, however, that he is conf
dent that Villa, who is leading his
army, is now in possession of the city
Of Torreon, or that he will be within
the next few hoursl
That the rebels were fighting in the
very streets of Torreon was indicated
in telegram received here. The mes
sage came from Colonel Trevino, staff
officer of General Eugenio Aguairre
Bcnavides. to his brother in this city,
and stated that Benavides had taken
two cuartels or barracks in> the city
of Torreon. The telegram added:
General Villa and General Bena-
vides have decided to take breakfast
in the plaza of Torreon."

SUBCOMMITTEE VIEWS
PLEASANTS PROPERTY
Claim Lnid to Land Used for Many
Years by City nm Public


Accompanied by Assistant City I'm
Etneer NJ. o. HanlSins. a subcommittee
from the Council Committee on Claims
yesterday afternoon met Mt the Pleas
ants property, on Lewis Street, Fulton.
to pass upon the claim for $500 pre-
ferred against the city by Edwin Pleas
ants for property. which he alleges be-
longs to him, and which has been APP
propriated by the city as public
street.
According to Councilman Jefferson
{. Powers cha irman of the subcomnit-
tee. the land IN question Is virtually
an unoccupied field. and while a street
was probably at one time surveyed
through tho property II hns never ac-
tually been constructed. Mr.. Peasants
asks payment for l47 feet OF land
which he claims belongs to him througl
ownership established more than nfty
years ago by his father, and which
has for some time been occupied by the
city MS Il public street.
The subcommittee, which consists
of Councilmcn Powers and Welsh ana
Alderman Paul. decided that it could
make no recommendations since the con
troversy appeared to be n matter for
adjustment by the City Attorney anu
the Committee on Streets. 1t will
therefore consult City Attorney POL
lard about the best course to pursue,
and will probably return the claim 10
the Council with the recommendation
that II be referred to the Street Com
mittcc.
