never loomed larger than tonight. Early in the evening Carranza announced that the status at Torreon remained un- changed.
 Then came the bugle call of victory. Mexfcans recognized 1t in a flash and the street became thronged instantly. Out of
 the saloons and gambling halls the crowd rushed until all places where crowds con gregate were empty and the throngs stormed up the street to Carranzas s resi- dence.
 Repeatedly the bugler sounded the call and great wave of cheering arose The electric lights strung about the Carranza residence last Sunday to welcome him were turned on, lighting up the draped and festooned red, white and green of the Mexican national colors Viva Carranza, Viva Villa. Viva Ma dero! Viva Mexico!' came the shouts of the crowd.
 Toast Villa Inside General Carranza and his con- fidential advisers were toasting Fran cisco Villa, the hero of the campaign Mayor Padres, realizing that someone must be calm, took occasion to order the saloons to close. A hundred processions formed in the streets and marched about shouting and cheering.
 The translation of the message received by General Carranza from General Villa Is as follows:
 Gen. Venustiano Carranza supreme chief of the constituencies: Tn this moment the remnants of the federals are leaving Torreon in flight After Il days of terrible fighting, in which we lost 1900 wounded and 500 killed while the federals, from the enormous number of bodies burned, must have had over 1000 killed and their number of wounded, l am unable to estimate Our
 forces have full possession of Torreon I regret to announce that among the
 wounded were Gen. Yzabel Robles and
 Gen. Calixto Contreas. I congratulate and
 salute you with respect and esteem that
 l have always had for you. Your sub-
 ordinate,
 GEN. FRANCISCO VILLA.
 Commander in Chief of Constitutionalist

To the Voters of Jefferson County:
 Y you fail to do your duty on Apri G. by voting for the best qualified mar for solicitor. but should aid in electing 2 man you know to be less capable fit ol who neglects his duties, can you con. sistently complain, if our laws are SC weakly enforced or easily evaded thai criminals cease to fear the penalty ot his offenses and gets to consider only the cost of getting out of it?
 If for some personal favor, association or consideration to self or friend, you neglect your public duty, can you con sistently complain if your solicitor ex. ecutes his public trust weakly or not at all?
 IT the last few years many murderers have gone free and murders have in. creased and it is openly charged tha- our city has become the point of opera tion of a gang of the shrewdest ant boldest train robbers and pickpockets, and all of our good citizens are ashamed o1 this disgraceful notoriety, but if it is true, we have already submitted too long, and should now realize our disgrace and change 1t, for only the guilty and those responsible for it, could excuse, palliate or hide it.
 The officer most responsible for the suppression of crime in our county is its solicitor and you will have your only , opportunity next Monday in four years to name him and if you vote for z. T Rudulph, you will have done your duty and will not regret it.
 There are three candidates who repre- sent distinctivey the opposition to the continuation of the present criminal con- ditions and administration of our soliei- tors office. There is a certain vote which will unwaveringly support the present administration, but this vote is greatly in the minority and the only danger is I might be greater than the opposition di- Nided by three. From a canvass and consideration of the candidates MT. z T.

 As soon as the extent of the fire became apparent, Company of the Florida Ma tional Guard was called out They formed fire lines to keep interference away from the firemen in their efforts to stop the flames, and later guarded the ruins of the burned buildings to prevent possible at tempts at footing.
 Other Hotels Destroyed
 Besides the Florida House, the other hotels destroyed by the fire which started shortly after 1 o'clock this morning, were the Munson House, the Clairmont hotel the Central hotel and the Atlantic hotel
 The St. Johns county courthouse. which contained many historic old records, also was burned. The records, however, are believed to have been saved, having been in safes. These are, as yet, in the ruins. The Vedder House. one of the most famous landmarks of the city and in which was kept the collection of the St. Augustine Historical society, also was de- stroyed.
 Much other property of smaller value was destroyed. including several private residences. The presence of mind of Charles Hopkins saved the speed boats here for the southern championship speed boat races, and valued at $50, 900, from de- struction. When the flames attacked the boathouses overlooking Matanzas sound he cut the boats loose and pushed them into the bay All fioated to safety
 The fire caused the postponement of the races today. They probably will be re- sumed tomorrow.

were indications from what Secretary Bryan told callers that, while the en- Xoyss request for a vacation had been granted. no definite plan had been made Tor his return and that the administra- ton was disposed to leave the ques- ton open for the present. It is be- lieved that both the President and Secretary Bryan just now see no req son why MT. Lind should not go back to continue his observations of condi- tions in Mexico, but are not binding themselves as to the future. MT. Linds movements hitherto being dependent entirely upon day by day developments
 The President told inquirers that there was no especial reason why MT Lind should come to Washington. as lis reports had been comprehensive and adequate.
 Except for tho five-day trip to Pass Christian, Miss, last January aboard the scout cruiser Chester, when he did not go ashore MT. Lind has been con stantly observing Mexican affairs dur ing periods alternately critical and tedious
 Health Affected
 When he visited the President at Pass Christian Mir. Lind spoke of the i'll effect which the tropical climate had had on his health, but declined the Presidents invitation then to return to the United States. preferring to con tinue further his work of observation His request for a vacation at this time was regarded as significant in official circles. It was taken to mean that he saw no prospect Of General Huerta's yielding the reins of government in Mexico City through diplomatic per suaston and that affairs would remain in statu quo pending the outcome of the constitutionalist forces marcn southward.
