Delay Attack

Washington, March 30.-While Villa forces are delaying their attack on Mata- rnoros pending the arrival of artillery, the stage is being set for another battle at Lampazos, about 70 miles southwest of Nuevo Laredo
 Border advices to the state and war departments said the Villa forces bound for attack on the Carranza garrison at Nuevo Laredo were expected to reach lampaZos today where battle prob ably will be fought Earlier messages said Carranza troops were being assem- bled at Nuevo Laredo. The garrison will number 1200 in all and presumably part of the force will be sent out along the National railway to meet the Villa troops at Lampazos if the battle is not already in progress.
 Should more troops be necessary on the American side al Laredo, Tex, in the event of an attack on NueVo Laredo, regiment of infantry is in readiness at Texas City.
 The situation at Matamoros and at Brownsville across the border, was un- changed today. The Villa troops, repulsed Saturday in their first attack, were en- .camped five miles from the city, the state department was advised, expected to renew the assault on arrival of their artillery. Latest estimates of the losses Saturday said 300 Villa troops were killed and an equal number wounded,  and 3S wounded.
 American Guns Ready
 On the American side a dozen guns from the Third Field artillery are ready for any emergency Secretary Garrison said the instructions sent to General Fun ston were similar to those given when bullets and shells fell on the American side during fighting at Naco. The sec retary refused to say, however, whether orders had been given to return the fire if the same thing happened at Browns vile.
 The state department had but meagre advices from Mexico City today, Secre- tary Bryan characterizing the situation Uncertain but with no disorders No report tending to confirm statements that the Zapata forces were preparing to abandon the capital again had reached the department. The food situation is again somewhat critical, Mir. Bryan said, hut General GarZa had given assurances that something will be done to meet the emergency.
 Reports from the border that Villa had demanded of Zapata that General Felipe Angeles be installed as provisional Pres 1dent in place of General Garza lacked confirmation at the state department or at the Villa agency here. General Villa was at Torreon today ana expected to start southward in day or two.
 Some officials were inclined to credit the reported action of Villa, saying that he probably considered that General. Gar "a was coming too much under the con- tro of Zapata and his advisers and that Generan Angeles could dominate the situation in the capital
 No foreigners have yet left Mexico City, Secretary Bryan said although both the Carranza and Zapata officials have prom ised to afford them facilities to reach | Vera Cruz. A report from the latter place today said Fl Potrera sugar plan tation, 60 miles from Vera Cruz, had been lootoe by a rebel band and the manager had asked for military guard.

"LIFE's BRIEF CANDLE. ''

After Appomaox and the settlements of the succeeding few weeks the Union soldiers of Grants and Sherman armies held grand review in Washington
 hundred and fifty thousand of them Tn close ranks passed before the then president and the great soldiers who led them to victory.
 An English military expert watched the review and some weeks later expressed the belief that it the most superb army on earth He said the armies of Europe were better dressed and in motion made perfect machine but there was litheness careless sefconfdence apparent in difference whatever might which he had never seen represented by soldiers before and which he did not believe any other soldiers could initiate.
 A few weeks ago there a review at the same place m most of all remnants of all the Union soldiers who have sur yvcd the friction of fifty years of peace All told they repre- sent but B of those who made that other army and the step and joyous faces of the former column have changed to the limp the old and the dued and snowy hair that with the years.

 Only fifty years but all those lusrrous names are already but dim memories to a majority of their countrymen
