GOMEZ I'ALACIO, Murch 28. At
4 o'clock this morning Torreon's
garrison was still fighting. The
rebels arc now in the town and an
all night battle raged in the streets.
From house tops the federals poured
a murderous rifle and machine gun
fire on the rebels below. General
Villa stopped the bombardment of
the city early last night,-as the artil
lery fire would have punished his
own men as much as it damaged the
enemy. The crackle of small arms
was Incessant, and there was much
haud to hand fighting. A large por
tion of the town is on fire, and the
flumes furnished light for the bloody
struggle. General Villa estimated
the rebel dead at 3S0, and the fed
erals at more than SOU. !
Many. Were Killed.
MEXICO CITY, March 28. A bat
tle between the federals and rebels

An Associated Press telegram from

states that the general will rest to
morrow. Generul Carranza was mot
.bv General Manuel Cruo. who carried
-Hith him from Juarez General Villa's

A message timed 5 p. m. at Gomez
Palacio. signed by General Villa, said
that he had concentrated his forces
to force his way Into Torreon, there
to join llerrera and take supreme
command. Officials hero declared
that the federals already had tried
to escape from the city but were
driven back and are In no condition
to withstand such an attack as that
of which Villa gave notice In ins tele
eram.
General Monclocio llerrera, with
' hlB own brigade and part of the Zaru-
eoza brigade, all veterans, are re
ported to have entered Torreon from
the East, 4000 strong, and to have
fought their way from house to house
and from street to street until the
bull ring on the northern fringe of
the town had been taken, together
with the section of the city through
which the railroad passes. This In
cludes the business section, or most
of it.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon the

established his headquarters on that
side of the towu looking toward
Torreon, and within three miles of
that great goal of the campaign.
The final and deciding assault was
delivered yesterday. It was preceded
by a bombardment, after which the
infantry and cavalry dashed into the'
streets. Rifles, machetes, pistols aud
hand grenades were used in a hund
red different encounters in the nar
row thoroughfares. General Villa
does not yet know his own loss, ex
cept that it is heavy. The wounded
suffered terribly from thirst, aud
manv died for the luck of water and
surgical attention.
I' ho dead of both sides were
mingled in the streets, or found
huddled under the piles of eurth
which had once been adobe houses
or corrals, wrecked by rebel shells.
Veterans say that no more furious
battle ever was fought In Mexico. It
was a delirium.
Die day was hot and the air fairly
smelt of stale blood. Those with
flesh wounds disdained to desert, aud
ninny a soldier, limping from a

On the way into the city from El

Some of these were liinpiug, not to

the Wilson Policy
(Special to the Evening Review).
WASHINGTON', March 28 An all
day debate on the resolution to re
peal the exemption of the Panama
Canal tolls is in progress in the
House. The proponents are confi
dent of victory, but the opposition is
fighting bitterly. The split in the
ranks of the Democrats threatened to
widen as the bitterness increased.
Speaker Clark has planned to make
the final speech ngaiust the repeal
provision. The debate is expected to
end Tuesday afternoon. The sup
porters of repeal predicted a ma
jority of 50 to 60 on the final vote.
Only 16 hours for debate remained
when the House met at noon. The
debate consisted largely of set
speeches. Representative Harrison
praised the stand taken against re
peat by Speaker Clark and Leader
Underwood. "If the repeal is adopt
ed," he said, "I believe it will mark
the beginning of disruption of the
party organization." Representative
Stevens warned the House that re
sentment by the powers might pluuge
the country into war, if the repeal
resolution was defeated.

lilt; Humes Cirrus Hum Multitude of
Interesting Features DUlclvut
From Others
Depending entirely on trained ani
mals to give the entertainment, the
Al G. Harues big 3-rlng wild animal
circus stands forth as the circus dis
tinctively -different from all others.
It's a big, three-ring circus, how
ever, with acres of tents, parade
glories, bands, clowns, sawdust rings
and general circus festivities, yet it
hus none but new features oil its
program.
inside of a big steel-barred arena
in the center of the show's mam
moth tent are presented some of the
most amazing, thrilling wild animal
spectacles ever witnessed. Men and
women trainers vie with one another
for the plaudits of the people, by pre
senting death-defying acts with wild
animals. Mile. Florine offers a group
of Persian leopards and jaguars; Miss
Mable Stary presents Royal Bengal
and Siberian tigers, and Major Thorn
ton has a large number of Grizzly
'and other ferocious bears.
The greatest wild animal act ever
successfully shown Is given in the
arena by Herr Louie Roth. Twenty
four, full grown, jungle-bred African
I lions are assembled at one time in
I this act by Herr Roth. His lack of
' fear among the great cats seems
j fairly "devilish." 'ie act is a thril
ler of the first water.
In the rings at either side of the
arena are shown tile domestic and
less ferocious animals. A large herd
of elephants, trained to do many
amazing things nre presented In
these rings. Camels, zebras, kan
garoos, dogs, goats and monkeys are
continually busy In the sawdust cir
cles. Other features of especial Interest
are Tom, Dick and Harry, juggling.
I horse-riding sea lions; Sampson, the
aviation lion, and the Barnes troupe
of beautiful horses and ponies. There
are SOU of them, and they are abso
lutely unrivalled as to beauty, breed
ing and education among the world's
horses.
Tho comedy part of the show's
program Is in the hands of twelve
competent, clever clowns, who are
assisted by fifty comedy elephants,
mules, ponies, dogs, monkeys, and
bears.
A big new pnrado feature is pre
