TORRE0N SURROUNDED
 BY GEN. VILLAS ARMY
City Sat ktlrs by Rebel Shells;
 Surrender k0ar..

Surrounded by General Villas rebel army, which vastly outnumbers the defending garrison, the city. of Tor reon. set ablaze by rebel shells, is In ii desperate plight. With the rebel artil- lery raking the trenches, the federals, under General Velasco, cannot hold out. Capitulation is inevitable.
 In the fighting at Palacio Gomez the rebels captured much of the federal artillery on Cerro de la Pillar. They also captured the field furniture and bedding of the federal commander In chief, General Velasco, who was in personal charge of the defense of Pala- cio Gomez.
 After forty-eight hours of fighting to reach the inner defenses Villa had 5000 fresh men under the command of General Benavides, who were expected to come up and lead the assault upon the city. <t
 General Benavides is said to be ad- vancing from the east after cutting the railroad at Saltlllo. Strategists think that he will be the first to enter the federal stronghold. ...
 While Villa Is hammering at Torreon administration officials in Washington are disturbed by fear of international complications that may result from the $1.o00 reward offered by Governor Col quitt of Texas for the delivery on Texas soil of five Mexicans charged with the murder of Clemente vergara.
 State department officials concede that Governor CoIqultt has right to offer the reward. but fear 1t will lead to an attempt to kidnap the Mexicans from Mexico and afford the Mexican government ground for demand for the punishment of the kidnapers. ''
