Rebels Lose Heavily; Villa Thinks Federal Loss Almost Total— Villa Feeds Hungry. Juarez, Mex.—Torreon fell complete ly into the hands of the rebels at 10:20 o’clock Thunday night, accord ing to announcement made here by General Venustiano Carranza. The news was fint announced to the world when the bugler in front of Carranza's residence blew the stac cato notes of victory. The paean, Car ranza said, was sounded even before it was beard in Torreon, Villa delay ing out of compliment to his chief. The meager bulletins, excitedly an nouncing victory after the bloodiest series of battles known to modern Mexico, said that Villa captured a large number of prisoners and that the fleeing remnant was being pur sued. With Torreon at last completely in his hands, General Francisco Villa was already preparing next day for attacks on Monterey and Saltillo. In the meantime his men were doing their utmost to get in food supplies and make the city habitable. A thor ough cleaning up was urged. If a pes tilence was to be avoided. The in habitants were on the verge of star vation. Considering the number of men en gaged in the past 11 days' fighting the losses were enormous. Of the rebels 200 were killed in Sunday night's fight ing alone, and it was estimated 500 federate were slain and 1000 wounded the same day. Villa put the number of rebels killed after his men got in side the city at 500 and the wounded at 1500. Asked how many rebels fell from first to last. Villa replied: "You’ll not go far wrong if you say the federal loss was total.” Villa promptly put his prisoners to work burying the dead, caring for the wounded and clearing up the wreck age. The damage done by shells, bombs and fire was enormous, and the removal of the debris will be a heavy task. The food problem, too, was a serious one. Supplies were ordered rushed from Chihuahua city and Juarez, and details were sent out to drive in herds of cattle from neighboring ranches. Soup kitchens were opened under mil itary management, and all applicants, men, women and children, federate and rebels, combatants and non-com batants, shared alike while the food lasted. To facilitate the assault upon Mon terey and Saltillo, Villa had forces of federal prisoners at work repairing the railroad eastward and rebuilding the bridge over the Nazas river, which was destroyed during the fighting. Villa was inclined to think both Monterey and Saltillo would fall easi ly. In view of the Torreon garrison's destruction and the city’s capture, with a greater store of artillery and military supplies than the Huertistas possessed anywhere outside Mexico City, he could not believe it would be deemed worth while to reenforce the defenders of either of his next points of attack. And unless they were strongly reenforced, he felt confident of making short work of them. The fighting at Torreon over, the rebels and their federal prisoners fra ternized readily. By their desperate resistance—a resistance which was a great surprise to Villa—the federate had won the rebels’ respect On the other hand, the federate were surpris ed at being fed and well treated. Many of them would have surrendered soon er, they said, but their officers con vinced them they would be tortured to death if captured. It was opened dramatically. Riding along the line of his troops. General Villa pointed to the city and shouted: “Comrades, there's Torreon. We must take it. Will you follow me?” The response was a thunderous chorus of cheers. “Esta bueno!" cried Villa. "Let us go.” The roar of the rebel artillery and the rattle of rifle fire followed imme diately. From that time forward the constitutionalists closed steadily in on the town. The federal artillery and riflemen fought coolly and courageous ly, but their enemies’ advance was at no time even checked. What surprised the rebels most was the federate’ continued resistance af ter the former were actually in the streets of Torreon. They had expect ed a fight to get into the town, but once inside they had believed it would be over. Instead, the thoroughfares were found strongly barricaded and held by federal troops, who contested every step of their foes' advance, fighting from behind the barricades and pour ing a murderous fire into the rebel ranks from the tops of flat roofed adobe houses. Air Passenger Refuses Fare. San Francisco.—Silas Christoffer- son and his wife applied for a warrant Saturday for Jim Griffin, referee and sporting man. Christofferson charged that Griffin failed to pay $10 for a ride over Seal Rocks, made Sunday in Christofferson’s plane. The airman did not get the warrant, because the only available charge was defrauding a motor vehicle driver. Miss de Grarer, assistant bond and warrant clerk, cited Griffin to appear at her office and show cause why a warrant should not be issued. Bogs Out-Biscuit Girls. Newport, R.
