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.

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, SAYS CONGRESS WILL QUIT AUG. 20 WASHINGTON, March 31.—Congress will adjourn August 20, according to “Colonel” Jim Edwards, the fafous Capitol prophet, His previous predic tions on adjournments have worked out about 756 per cent right, He hails from Missouri, is a doorkeep er in the Senate and has been a politi= cal prognosticator for twenty years.
