Union League of New Haven Votes Not to Sell Chapel Street Property.
 New Haven, Conn.,, April 15.-Af- ter all, the members of the Union league thought that a comfortable home on a main street with windows which gave view of people passing to and fro was much more preferable to a new home on side street, and the vote taken last night to sell the property which adjoins the Hyperion theater in Chapel street. to buy or lease new quarters in College street, was a contrary one.
 A firm of merchants in Hartford had made an offer for the clubhouse which with an adjacent apartment house would have been turned into a department store. The Union league may remodel it's clubhouse although the matter rests with a committee. The contention is still strong that the property is growing too valuable for a clubhouse.

 When General Velasco, the federal general in chief, evacuated Torreon April ?, his army was practically in- tact and the retreat enabled him to join. the endorsements which had failed to reach him at Torreon, and to that extent the evacuation was successful maneuver.
 In any, event Velasco after his re- treat was much stronger and more dangerous than before, for at San Pedro he had with him the columns of Generals De Moure, Argumendo. Campa, Mariana, Ruiz Hidalgo, and Maas, total of twelve or fourteen thousand troops.
 Six Day Engagement.

 General Villa in his official report to his chief, ended with the remark: My only regret is that 500 of my troops were wounded in today's (Monday) assault. I hope that the great sacrifice of human blood will be for the welfare of our country"
 The success of General Villa and his men in driving back the forces which had re-enforced the retreating Torreon garrison under command of the federal General Velasco was re- garded here as the final struggle for the complete possession of Torreon and the hewing of a way through the canon country toward the capital of the nation.
