MEXICANS NEAR
 TORREON FACING DANGERS
Americans Arriving In Ell PasO Report That Starvation
 Threatens Towns.

Fl Paso. Tex, April 8-LTwo Amer icans the first to arrive here from the interior for several days, reached Fl Paso yesterday on a train from Chf-t huahua City. They said that there was absolute quiet in the state capital when they left but that everywhere there was apparent a feeling that inn pertant development were imminent. As has been the case for a week the whole Mexican situation seems at a standstil pending the outcome of the negotiations between Washington and General Carranza regarding the use of the Mexican railroads by the Amer ican expeditionary force.
 Repeated intinationS that the sup ply situation had reached an acute stage have received strong support by the statements made by soldiers re- turning from the front and by refer ences in letters received here by rela- tives of the men and officers in Gen. eraI Pershing's advance columns.
 The question of adequate clothing for the American soldiers appears to be coming as important as that of food. But the plight of the American soldiers fades into insignificance when compared with the stories reaching here through Mexican sources of the desperate conditions prevailing among the peons in the bandit-ravaged reg lions of Southern Chihuahua and Du- rango, toward which Villa is heading. It is said that the unfortunate people in the district around Torreon, where FCanuto Cano is upholding the cause of Villa by wholesale footing and murder. are facting actual starvation. A letter which reached here from Tor reon, dated six days ago, said in part:
 Industry is at a Standstiu and the disheartened peonS in the country dis tricts have abandoned all efforts to cultivate their farms. If a man was known to have a little grain or beans he could be certain that band of bandits would pay him visit, take what he had and probably his life as we'll. General Trevino has succeeded in bringing some carloads of food into in an ocean of suffering and distress. attribute their lsufferings, but they are willing to join anyone who will prom ise them a hearty meal. They have been taught that Villa is their cham pion and it will be a hard task to dis buse their minds of that idea.''
 There is considerable interest here in persistent reports that General Gavitra, the Carranza commander at Juarez, is about to- be superseded. One story published in a Mexican paper, declares\that General Pablo Gonzales will take supreme charge of all Car ranza soldiers in the<he1d. These re- ports cannot be verified. In the ab- sence of any definite news from Gen. eraI Pershing the border has again been reduced, to mere speculation as to the whereabouts of Villa and the status of the pursuit..

THE STATE OF TRANCE. Russtan Ministers .Report on Condi

tions.
 \ We have seen report made by M sPozzo Df Borgho, the Russian Min :, ,fster at the Port of France, to nls Master, in which a description IS g1y- en of the present state of that ,coun- try. as cannot fail to awaken the com passion, and excite the pity of every friend of humanity.
 The Minister states, that the French people disliked Bonaparte and his government But previous to his land ing on his return from EIba, they had experienced tyranny of the Bour- bons. Bonaparte they dislikedT-but the Baurbons they hated q
 0nf his arrival at their shores they cheerfuIly flocked to his standard. and greeted his return with joyful ac- cIarnation Such was the state of the public mind, (the Minister adds) when Napoleon landed at Cannes and push ed his triumphant march to Paris.
 It would seem <IIe adds) that the, state of things, and the state of the public mind is not more suspicious at this moment; and that the universal frqtaetudes and fears which the ad- ninistration of the Bourbons had ex-. cited before their departure, have re< vived since their return; and that they even exist in a much greater degree
 The violent manner in which their re-estabHshment has been affected, the disasters that nave aLLGn06d IIA6 caIamities of all kinds which the in habitants of one half of Prince have experienced. in consequence on the in- vaslons of foreign armies, are. far from. being conci1iated to the Bourbons the love of the French people, and the state to which France has been re- duced by the Treaty of Peace, the military occupation of her territory, the loss of her colonies, the ruin of her commercial establishments and manufactures, and, in consequence of 1 all this, the annhilation of her trade '(the writer very truly adds) have not further contributed (and it would be Astonishing if they had) to regain the hearts of the people, H Such then, is the present state of France according to the testimony of one who is on the spot, who cannot be deceived, and who would not dare to send to his Master a false state 1nent of the situation of this unhappy country. The people are more dis 5 satisfied and restless at this moment than they were on the return of Napo- 2 leon from EIba-
 What then is the inference?

FRANK sHERWooD's OPINION. Contends. That 16s Democrats Have
 Been Chosen


 Been Chosen.
 Frank Sherwood, the former editor of the Independent Leader, claims that the electors of this city Monday made choice of 16 Democrats and four Republican Aldermen. He asserts that ~he-is backed up by the charter in making his claim, and is willing to risk his reputation that if the matter is carried to. the courts his view will be upheld. His contention is that the votes cast for the Citizens ticket are greater by a considerable number than the votes deposited for the candidates of either of the other parties
 Here are the, figures; Total vote cast for the candidates on the Citizens ticket, 54,586; total cast for the Dem ocratic candidates, 52, 323t for the Re publican candidates 49, ,546.
 He says the charter provides that the five individual candidates on any political. party receiving tthe highest number Of votes cast, as compared with the other candidates of such party, shall be declared elected. He adds that of the one year Democrats, Hincks, Challenger. RuggIes, Northrop and Reilly boiled the highest tndivid- uaI vote of their party. The three first named were candidates of the Citizens ticket and received the high est, vote. Their places are filled by O'Rourke, Casey and Osborn, who were the next highest candidates on the Democratic ticket These men were voted for on both party tickets dividual vote cast they are elected.
