Secretary Bryan recently addressed
the senate committee on foreign rela-
tions in support of this treaty. While
some objections developed among COM
mittee members on the ground that the
interests OF the United States In the
West Indies wero not properly guarded,
it was believed that these could be
overcome by slight amendment, and
that the senate could be induced to
accept tho principle of unlimited arbl-
tration, which it had formerly rejected.
The action OF the Danish senate was
a genuine surprise for the reason that,
as stated OH the authority OF Secretary
Bryan himself, this treaty was made
at the request of the government OF
Denmark, which had made O similar

allied that while it might not be timely

JUAREZ, Mexico. March os.-Gen-
eral Villas attack On Torreon last
night is said to havo proved abortiye
because Of hand grenades becoming ex-
hausted. 1t is the most useful ammuni-
tion for street fighting among one
story adobe houses. The attack was
renewed this afternoon and Villa was
quoted as saying that he intended to
take the whole town tonight.
The positions already taken in the
business section, it is said, were made
more secure last night and the smelter,
like the bullring and the principal hotel
of the city, are said to have become
rebel property.
The forenoon today was devoted to
disposing Of the dead and making more
comfortable the quarters Of the
wounded at Gomez Palacio and in the
field hospitals,
Attack Renewed.
One telegram was received from Gen
eral Villa. 1t stated that at noon,
having received fresh supply of 5000
hand grenades, he renewed the attack
on the last of the federal defenses. He
urged that hospital supplies, including
quickGme, bandages, absorbent cotton
and antiseptics, be rushed to the front
in tho most urgent haste.
The cost OF his victories is now
known to have been heavy, and the
fact that moro hospital supplies must
be sent from here, despite the large
store which Villa took with him on the
campaign, adds confirmation.
Losses Are Heavy.
The Zaragoza brigade, which left
Juarez 1900 strong, is said on excellent
authority to have lost % per cent in
killed and wounded, Some of the loss
was at Sacramento, when General Ben
avides was hewing path into Gomez
Palacio, and some when the brigade
was Joined with tho column of General
Monclovio Herrera and the dash into
Torreon from the east was made. Gen
eral Maximo Garcia was shot IN tho
kidneys and is expected to die. Gen
eral Trinidad Rodriguez has bullet
wound in one arm. Major Macedonia
Andana was shot in the chest and Juan
n, Gutierrez, chief of police Of the city
of Chihuahua, was killed,
A private telegram from a subaltern
at Gomez Palacio to his father this
afternoon said that it was rumored in
the barracks there that General Re-
fugio Velasco, federal commander at
Torreon, had committed suicide rather
than fall into the rebels hands.
Little faith attaches to the story.
There were rumors also that three
other federal generals reported killed
in action-Pena, Rcyna ana Anaya--
really took their own lives, firm in the
belief that they would be executed II

Street Fighting.
In street fighting Mexicans say RI
files are Of comparatively little use
against an enemy using adobe walls as
defenses. These must be shattered by
shells or attacked with hand grenades.
The ordinary adobe house, is ono
story high, the four right-angled walls
of which rise two or three feet above

troops to station themselves on these
roofs, behind the projecting walls. and

COPENHAGEN, March 2S.-The

Important to Know Why.

The Danish proposal was accepted,
therefore. and the plan OF general ar
bitration engrafted upon one OF the
peace commission treaties, nine Of
which had previously been negotiated;
in the Danish treaty it was proposed
that if the international commission
provided Tor to examine into the
merits Of disputes between the princi-
pals. should fail TO reach direct ad-
iustment within one year, or II within
that period the commissioners should
concur in the opinion that such an ad-
iournment was impossible. the dispute
should be referred to the permanent
court of arbitration at The Hague. The
treaty was signed in Washington Feb
ruary 5, 1914, and has formed the base
of several other projected treaties.
Hence it becomes important for the
state department to know precisely the
reason for the Danish senate, as IT
.aay be necessary to amend soma, OF
the pending conventions to insure their
acceptibility.
