TERRIFIC BATTLE
HALTED BY TRUGE
General Velasco Reported to
Have Demanded Amnesty for
All His Troops.
JUAREZ, MEXICO, March 31.—An
armistice has halted the bloody battle
of Torreon, according to reports cur
rent at Constitutionalist headquarters
early to-day. General Refugio Ve
lasco, Federal commarfder in the be
leaguered city, is said to be negotiat
ing with General Villa for a surren
der of th® town.
Both reports were partially con
firmed by officers close to Provisional
President Carranza, who said that
Carranza had received a dispatch
from Villa last night in which the
rebel commander-in-chief had put the
‘entire matter up to his superior, to
decide whether the terms gsked by
Velasco should be granted.
~ General Carranza sent a long reply
to Villa this morning, but the in
structions that the messdge contains
were not diyulged. The rumors cir
culated here and not denied by any
one in authority were to the effect
that General Velasco had demanded
full amnesty for his Federal troops.
Surprised by Resistance.
The official reports current here
that Villa had even considered mak
ing terms with Velasco indicated that
the rebel leader had found .the re
sistance of the I'ederal troops greater
than he had anticipated when he
planned his campaign.
The troops with which Velasco has
kept up the conflict for four days in
the heart of Torreon include 3,000 of
the veterans of the Mexican army.
They are experienced campaigners,
and this fact militated to their ad
vantage over the dashing but inex-
perienced troops of Villa,
Advices received just before the re
port of an armistice indicated that
the Constitutionalists, while holding
the greater part of Torreon, had been
unable to penetrate into the main
plaza, where General Velasco had
gathered his best troops and conceny
trated his artillery to sweep every
avenue of approach,
Mowed Down Rebels.
Another strong point held by the
Federals were two cuartels in the
western part of the city. These lio
in a basin which is of great etrategic
advantage, the only entrance being
easily defended by machine guns.
General Velasco suffered terrific
losses in attempting to secure this
vantage point on Monday. The I'ed
erals allowed the rebels to penetraio
the basin's entrance in large numbers
before the artillery fire opened. Then
hundreds of the Constitutionalists
were mowed down and their com
rades were forced to flee,
