Mexico City.-General Jiminez Cas-
tro, recalled military governor of Jo-
Julia, arrived here and reported to
the war minister that more than one
were lined up against wall before
firing squads and executed. An effort
was made by President Huerta to sup
press the facts of the wholesale
slaughter. but General Castro told his
story in the presence of witnesses who
do not doubt its accuracy.
General Castro reported that after
the mutineers, who numbered about a
thousand and were reinforced by Ia
pata adherents, had abandoned Jo-
Julia, they were pursued by the fed
erals. Many of them were killed in
battle, the prisoners being executed.
1t required less than half an hour for
the slaughter of the men who rebelled
at service in the army of General
Huerta. The firing squad worked rap
idly and pumped bullets into the bod
les of their former comrades as fast
as they were lined up, Bodies were
piled high along the wall when the
last squads were brought out. and
those going to their death stumbled
over the forms of those who had faced
the rifles o. the executioners only a
few minutes before. With the last
|mutineer dead the bodies were buris,
in one trench.
Forced by the increasing serious
ness of the ituation in Mexico from a
financial rather than military view
point, President Huerta at last ap-
pears to be ready to resume negotia-
tions with John Lind. President Will

were broken off last August

night and caused known death list
of four persons to be added to the
thirty who perished in the fire
which destroyed the Missouri Ath-
letic Club building on the 9th.
The one remaining wall of the Ath-
letic Club building, seven stories high,
suddenly collapsed in a thirty-mile
wind storm and fell crashing on the
roof of the st. Louis Seed Company s
four-story building next door. burying
at least fifteen persons in the ruins.
Three bodies have been taken from
the debris, the smothered woman lies
corpse in the wreclSage and six per-
sons seriously injured are in the hos
pitals as a result of the disaster
One of the dead was identified as
that of William Davidson, a laborer.
The second body removed was identi-
fled as that OF C. r. Gryder. a car
penter, of East st. Louis, H.. who was
at work repairing the building. At
o'clock the third body. that of an un-
identified laborer, was taken from the
ruins. /,
The rescuers hurried this victim s
body out of the way in order that they
might Search for the woman, whose
piteous groans and cries for help had
been heard. AS they turned to their
task, however, the voice which had
become gradually fainter ceased its
cries-and the rescuers we're lost.
They had no means of knowing where
the woman vas imprisoned.
A few minutes before the. collapse
Building Commissioner McKelvey,
who was directing ITO men in the
work of exploring the ruins of the
club building, feared that the wall
would fall and ordered his men out OF
the debris. This action prevented a
heavy loss of life.
In the seed company building at
the time of the accident were ten or
twelve customers. three women and
five or six men, office employees, and
large number of workmen.
Four Dead, Six Reported Missing.

MEXICAN REBELS KILL ,oe.
Villa Takes Town Twenty-Five Miles
From Federal Stronghold.


Constitutionalist Hospital, Bernie
jillo. Durango, Mexico.-The rebel
net about Torreon and vicinity was
drawn closer Saturday, and General
Huerrera fought the most important
engagement of the advance near Haci-
enda Santa Clara, twenty-five miles
north of Torreon.
In the engagement log Federals
were killed. The rebel loss is report
ed as slight, three killed and seven
wounded.
The fight really was for possession
of spot on the banks of the big
Tlahualilo irrigation ditch. where Her
rera wished to throw bridge. and the
construction of which he began imme-
diately. upon retirement of the enemy,
whose numbers he estimated at 400.
At other points the Federal advance
guards retreated precipitately, burn
ing and wrecking as they went At
Noe the small railroad shops were
burned.
General villa was elated beyond
measure. and the rebel troops began
the final move to surround Torreon,
and Villa men expect momentarIly
that the attack will begin.

FL yeriei, Durango, Mexico. March
24.--At IL o'clock Monday night Gen
eral Velasco led the main wing OF his
army out OF Torreon proper and rein
forced the suburb of Palacio Gomez,
which is being made the main point OF
contention in the battle OF Torreon-
the chief obstacle in the march OF

slaught. are being brought back to El

dead is said to be small, while it is
claimed that great loss OF life, run
ming into hundreds, has been sus-
tanned by the federal forces. In mes
sage received here Villa said he would
take Torreon by noon today.
The real attack on Torreon began
when General villa occupied Lerdo,
practically without resistance. and be-
gan an attack on Gomez Palacio. The
three towns are practically one in a
commercial and social sense and are
connected by street railway. Torret
proper represents the military strong
hold. where the main federal force is
gathered under General Refugio Vel
asco. Gomez Palacio and Lerdo are
without important natural defenses,
and In previous revolutions have new
er been seriously defended.
The real test.of strength is expected
to come when villa. after sweeping
these points, hurIs his forces against
the defenses OF Torreon. On this bat
tie, 1t Is conceded, hinges the fate OF
the revolution.
