CoNSTITUTIoNALIST HEAD
QUARTERS, GOMEZ PALAcIo,
MEXICO. March 2S.-Torreon prob
ably will fall before night. A des-
perate battle is being fought in the
streets OF the city. The Federals are
fighting bravely to thrust back villas
rebels. but the Constitutionalists are
slowly forcing their way into the
heart OF the town.
The bombardment which General
Villa maintained all day Friday
ceased last night and the rebel com
mander gave the order for the at
tack. Crossing the Nazas River at
the head of his troops, Villa smashed
the Federal defenses to the north and
penetrated the town.
Battle RACES Al Might.
The battle ragged all night. Neither
side was able to use its artillery III
the darkness, for fear of killing its
own men, but the soldiers fought
hand hand in the light cast by
fires burning in buildings set afire
early in the battle by the first bonn
bardment of the rebel artillery.
When the first light showed to-day
Villa sent into the battle all the
forces that he had held in reserve
during the night Most OF these SOL
diers were the men who had been
given an opportunity to rest after the
battle that resulted in the capture Of
Gomez Palacio
Fighting from the house tops and
from barricades in the streets. the
Federals had succeeded during the
night in hurting back every attempt
of Villa to enter the principal plaza
of the city All night the Constitu-
tionalists had been cutting their way
through adobe houses for many blocks
in order to get behind the Federal
barricades, but the work was slow.
Federal Commanders Slain.
General Villa sent a message to his
headquarters here early this morning
confirming earlier reports that Gem
eral Ricardo Pena and Colonel Fred
erico Reyna, of the Federal army, had
been killed. and that General o. Car
rama and General Almanzan had
been fatally wounded. General Car
rama was the best cavalry leader
that the Federals had.
villa stated that none of his off,
GERS had been killed, but Colonel Trim
ldad Rodriguez was seriously wound
ed. The rebel officers to-day admit
ted that 800 of their men had been
killed in the fighting that resulted in
the capture of Gomez Palacio. Five
hundred and fifty dead Federals have
been counted on the battlefield.

Repeal Forces in High Spirits
After First Victory, but Foes
Are Not Done,

WASHINGTON. March 2s.-with
forces .realigned and refreshed with a
nights rest, both sides in the great
tolls repeal battle in the House took
up the debate to-day
Early conferences preceded the
opening Of the House. Representa-
tive Underwood and Speaker Clark
were in close touch with the free
tolls faction on the Democratic side,
while Chairman Adamson, Of Geor-
gia, and Representative Sims. Of the
Interstate Commerce Committee,
consulted again with Chairman Hem
|ry. Of the Rules Committee. and Rep
resentatives Foster. HardYiek Pal
mer and -Sherleys =
While the latter group was in high
feather because Of its triumph on the
first two roll calls and predicted an
even more decisive victory on the re-
peal bill itself, the opposition prom
Used some surprises before the strug-
gle is ended That the leadership of
the Democracy in the House is at
stake and the ability of the party to
pass further legislation by the aid of
caucus imperiled was stated freely
in both camps.
Adamson's Old Foe TO Speak.
One Of the features of to-days de-
bate was expected to be the speech
of Representative Doremus, of Mich
igan, chairman of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee,
in support of free tolls Doremus
led the fight for this issue against
Representative Adamson two years
ago, and has been uncompromising in
the face OF all pressure brought upon
him to come into harmony with Pres
ident Wilson. Republican Leader
Mann also was prepared to enter the
debate late in the day.
This tight will have no effect on
party leadership" asserted Represen-
taive Dies. of Texas. Everyone is
fond of Speaker Clark and Leader
Underwood, and a few more such
personal attacks as were made
against them might have cost the
President the decision yesterday.
What constitutes true American
doctrlne?" was the subject of the dis
cussion to-day in the Senate Sena-
tor Lewis was to speak in support of
a resolution against free Panama
tolls, asserting the true American
doctrine" to be equal and exact JUS
tice to all; special privilege to none"
Safety Of American interests.
Senator Gallinger was ready to
urge a substitute resolution declar-
ing true American doctrine" to be
that American interests are safer in
American hands than in the hands
Of European or other foreign ma
tions," and that any denial OF the
right Of the United States to exempt
coastwise shipping from tolls Is IAN
unwarranted demand" which can not
be conceded without a surrender OF
rights that lie in the foundation Of
our government

declaration that the war vessels of
