Military Preparations Practically
Suspended as Next Move of
Government Is Awaited.
By HERBERT TEMPLE.
LLONDON, March 24—The virtual
suspension of military preparations
on the borders of Ulster Province by
both the Crown and the anti-home
rule forces to-day acted as a reflex to
concentrate national attention upon
the next move of the Government in
the Irish crisis,
According to opinion prevalent in
many quarters, King George has as
sumed a role of activity and authori
ty in the present situation unknown
in the limited monarchy for many
decades. From this same source it
was reported that the King has
placed the following program before
the Cabinet for the conciliation of all
factions in Ireland:
That Ulster counties be given an
additional six years, making twelve
in all, during which they might be
excluded from the operations of the
Fome rule bill; and that all army of
ficers who resigned when civil war
in Ulster seemed inevitable be taken
back without loss of merit,
“If the Orangemen continue their
protests with threats of war, home
rule is dead,” declarved some of the
radical newspapers.
On the other hand, Liberal organs
claim that the Irish policy of the
Liberal Government has been vindi
cated.
There was a conference of Cabinet
Ministers in Downing street at noon,
when the situation was canvassed at
length., It was subsequently reported
thai the troops which were rushed to
the borders of Ulster will soon be
ordered back to their original sta
tions.

Mrs. Douglas Robinson Praises
y K '
Recorder’s Administration and
Progressive Atlanta Spirit.
Theodore Roosevelt's sister, Mrs.
Douglas Robinson, prominent New
York ®ociety woman, sat beside Re
corder Nash Broyles Monday in Po
lice Court and watched with sympa
thetic interest or appreciative smiles
the disposition of several dozen typi
cal Monday cases. She commented on
many of the cases and Judge Broyles
listened attentively to her sugges
tions.
“Better than the best n}lnslr(-l show
[ ever saw,” said her husband at toe
conclusion, and Mrs, Robinson agreed
with him. However, Mrs. Robingon
was much affected by the misery
bared in the morning’s drab recital,
“It was very impressive,” she sald
later, “and at times, of course, very
amusing, It was a pleasure to see a
court handled so well, and Recorder
Broyles certainly seemed to be a
splendid judge. I had always wanted
to see a Southern Police Court to get
a more intimate glimpse of the South
ern darky, and I won't soon forget my
experience to-day.”

on between rebels and Federals in the

cio and Torreon on the west. The
northern outposts are being bom
.b;mled.
Throughout the greater part of.the

According to dispatches from the
front, the Constitutionalists occupied
the suburbs of Gomez Palacio at 9
o'clock last night, after 20 hours of
long-range fighting with artillery.
The artillery, under General Felipe
Angeles, chief artillerist of the rebel
army, succeeded in silencing the
heayvy guns of the outer works of the
Federals, and the order was given to
advance. With shells screaming over
their heads, the Constitutionalists
started forward in the darkness. Be
hind and before them the blackness
of night was pierced by the contina
ous Mghtning of the artillery. Amid
the rebel yell the Constitutionalists
poured over the fresh earthworks on
the outside of Gomez Palacio.
Once in the town proper, the en
gagement gained in violence with
hand-to-hand fighting in the streets,
From the nearby hills troops poured
a hot fire into the town, apparently
careless whether they killed friend or
foe.

ed far they met reinforcements from
Torreon, and returned to the attack.
General Villa ordered a general ad
vance at daybreak. The rebels nad
the advantage in position, having
stormed the Federal works upon tha
hills west, south and northwest of

Palacio because of its strategic im
portance,

bloody battle which raged around Go
mez Palacio all day yesterday were
received by courier during the morn
ing.
