All the northern outposts of Torreon, with the exception of Gomez Palacio and lerdo, were captured by General Villa in a daring attack that brought the Constitutionalist army within nine miles of the beleaguered city.

PARIS, Marca 20.—A mob of 10,000 ‘persons, with cies of grief upon their lips, this afternoon interrupted the burial of Baston Calmette, the famous journalist who was assassi nated by Mme. Henrietta Caillaux, wife of the former Minister of li nance, Joseph Caillaux. Breaking through the police lines at the cemetery, the excited men and women flung back all opposition as they fought to get near the grave to see the interment of the dead man. After a sharp conflict the repub’ican guards and gendarmes were able to push back the mass of humanity and the burial proceeded. This exciting incident ended the fu neral ceremonies, after the three-mile cortege had made its way to the graveyard, beneath the gaze of hun dreds of thousands of persons who thronged the streets, Rioting Foliows Outbreak. The rioting at Calmette’'s burial was followed by many outbreaks in the streets of Paris. Royalists and anti-Caillaux mobs paraded back and forth, shrieking defiance to the pres ent government, or calling for the ex ecution of both Caillaux and his wife. Mounted police were kept busy charging the mobs. In one clash more than fifty shots were fired and many persons were injured. As the day wore on the situation became more serious hourly and plans were made to call out the troops with ma chine guns to prevent a riot of terror during the night. ; " Senate Probe Begins. Just at the moment the funeral services were being said, and whxle‘ crowds moved restlessly"along the boulevards awaiting any signal for violence, a Senate commission, head ed by M. Jean Jaures, the famous So cialist, was beginning its session to investigate the political intrigues ex posed in part by the murder of the journalist. kL "‘ix’xfigtr.wl,azax_'e jail, Mme, Cajllaux, the. beantifu -central : fizupe in this tragedy of love, jealousy and politics, was comforted by two nuns as che gazed out into the rain . At St. Denis, a surburb, there was a grave outbreak. in which a number of persons were killed, but this vio lence was attributed to local politi cal bitterness, as an election was be ing held there to-day, more than (o the Caiilaux-Calmette case. France is now turning its attention to the political results which will fol low the tragedy and to the approach ing trial of Mme. Caillaux, It is now believed that the pro-Government forces will be successful in prevent ing any revelation of political skele tons when the prisoner is brought to trial. . In their meeting to-day M. Labori, attorney for Mme. Caillaux, urged his client again to throw herself on the mercy of the court, at the sume time pleading extenuating circumstances. Either this course or an insanity plea will in all likelihood prove the meth od of defense finally adopted. Premier Doumergue to-day an nounced the appointment of Deputy Cauthier as Minister of Marine to succeed M. Monis, who resigned yes terday. Minister of Colonies Lebrun, who succeceded Monis temporarily, returned to his former post. . “MOTHER” JONES ARRESTED.
