WASHINGTON. March Jfi.-Thla mes esge sent from Merlro City last night was received at tho embaeay here today; "Rebels once more routed and repulsed at Uomex Palaclo with heavy loaacs, while trying to approach Torreon." The State department had only a report from El Paso saying that up to yesterday afternoon results were "still unde termined." Other dispatches reported there was ab solutely no foundation for Rtorles that danger threatened five Americans in tho Tlahuahllllo district of Coahulla. Consular representatives report all foreigners within torrltory under constitutionalist control being protected. Consul O arret t at Neuvo Laredo, Just ovor the Rio Grande, reported today that an American boy In Laredo, Tex., was wounded In the cheek by a shot fired from the Mexican side. Hrcnt Anxiety In Jnnrex. JUARKZ, March 24. An atmosphere of pessimistic nnxfety enveloped constitu tionalist sympathizers here early today over the poaelbla fate of General Fran- claco Villa and hla 12,000 rubel soldlera, who, at last report, were engaged in desperate fighting ut Gomez Palaclo, a suburb of Torreon. Not for two days has an authoritative word como from the front and press dispatches, which so far have been more rcllablo than the so-called official dispatches, have been as lacking. Not even a courier has penetrated the desert between Torreon and Chihuahua, and no communication by wire of any nature has been received for forty-eight hours. News dispatches from Mexico City re ceived hore laat night declaring that the Huerta government war department had Issued a bulletin to the effect that Villa was In full rotreat are not believed gen erally, but there Is no doubt that their contents have added to the worry of the rebel officers here. Manual Chao, military governor of Chi huahua, haunts the military telegraph operator day and night In hopo of sven a fragmentary message from General Villa telling of tho fortunes of war. The tact that all communication ceased so soon after the attack on Qomoz Palaclo, and that It had been coming freely during Villa's triumphant southward march, gave rise to misgivings In the hearts of con stitutionalist sympathizers as much, It not more, than any other agency. Claim Federal Victory. MEXICO CITY, March 25. The war de partment makes tha claim that the rebels under General Villa were routed at Tor reon with groat slaughter early today. Eight hundred men under General Joa quin Mass and General Javier de Moure, it Is announoed, arrived opportunely from Haltlllo In time to add greatly to the fed eral victory. The rebels aro said to be retreating northward, with tho federals pounding at their rear. It Is admitted that General Villas men entered Lerdo, a suburb ot Torreon, but tl Is explained that this was a ruse on tha part ot General Velasco to ambush them. As soon as they were well Into that territory, thn federal artillery shoTled them, the cavalry charging as the rebels started to retreat. Generals Mass and De Mouro are re ported to have made the distance be tween, Hlpollto and Torreon In fifty au tomobiles which they were carrying, the railroad having been cut at Hlpollto. The rebel loasea in dead and wounded are reported to bo 2,000. Federals Will Take Utfenslre. KI, PABO, Tex., March SC. That the rebels have been repulsed every time they have taken the. offensive at Gomes Pala clo .was the assertion made here today by Miguel Dlebold, Inspector of Mexican consulates, Senor Dlebold exhibited messages from Mexico City as his- authority fpr the statement. One message declared that the rebels have not oven approached Tor reon proper, but have had their hands full at Gomez Palaclo, three mites dis tant. He asserted that the federals are about to take the offensive, to which end a flanking movement Is being started.

STROOKEY, MARY E. STROOKEY, of our policies. We want CRUCIAL TEST OF POWER President's Stand on Tolls Question Rouses Public Interest NEBRASKANS' VIEW ON SUBJECT At I.enat One of Nebraska Demo crat i:xpeced to Vote AKliit Head or the Party In Vital Topic Norr Up. (From n Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, March 2S.-(Speclal Telegram.) What Is regarded nu the most crucial test of the power he president of the United States to reverse a position which his party and himself took before election In 1312 came up today in the houso of representatives. There havo been only three or four occasions since Woodrow Wilson becamo president that the attend iuico upon tho house was larger than today, because of the very great Interest aroused over a bill Introduced by Congressman Sims of Tennessee repealing the freo tolls sec tion of the Panama canal act extended to tho coastwise, shipping of the United States through the big ditch. Hundreds ot people were unable to gain admission to the public galleries In antici pation of the debate, not only on a report of a rule making special tho Sims repeal bill coming from the committee on rules, but In anticipation of heart-to-heart talks over the president's changed attltudq re garding the exemption of ocaatwlso ship ping from tolls through the caaal. Itepnbllcnns Will Oppose. Naturally, interest so far as Nebraska Is concerned centers In the position to bo taken by Its representatives In tho lower house It Is believed, though not on authority, that tho Nebraska republicans will vote against the president's plea for a re versal of form and It Is expected that at least ono of the three democrats will also vote against the titular head ot the party In power, because he has not been In formed as to any crisis In the diplomatic affairs of the country that will warrant a change, in hla vote when the Panama canal act was on final passage in 1)12. In a talk today with one of the leaders ot the house who Is committed to the prealdcn's policy of reversing his party because of foreign complications which have arisen, demanding the most careful consideration, ho said: "The free tolls provisions In the Pan ama canal act will be repealed in my Judgment but with a very much less ma jority than the nethuslastlo friends of the president expect My guess would be that the majority for the Sims repeal bill will be around fifty, and there Is Just a poastbllty that the whole thing may be abandond before a final vote Is taken, "It Is a two-edged sward, and la going to cut both ways. Frankly speaking, its another case ot you'll be damned it you do and damned If you don't "But what are we to do In the mean time? So far as I am concerned I am going to follow the prestdent" Wilson Talka with Lobeck. Congressman Lobeck called on the president this morning, and In the course of conversation the president expressed a wish that ha might havo a longer talk with the representative from the Second district In particular reference to the Scandinavians, the prestdent stating in tho conversation that he had with Mr, Lobeck that ho would like to know more about the Scandinavians as a race than he knows at present. Mr. Lobeck stated that he would be only too glad to Inform the president about a- race which, was Intensely loyal, to the country of their adoption and one which he would find worthy of a wider study, Crawford Called Mottled. The defeat of Senator Cos Crawford, who is finishing his first terra In the upper body of congress, at the South Da kota primaries is tho subject of much comment hereabouts. The Washington Times says that Mr. Crawford "has been a progressive republican of the some what mottled type. He might be called a half-and-half Insurgent and regular. It admits In tha majority of cares Senator Crawford has affiliated with the progres siva taction of republicans. As tor Con gressman Burke, this same organ ot the progreaslvo party, edited by Mr. Munsey, classifies Congressman Burke as a "stand patter of the purest ray." Whatever des ignation may be given Mr. Burke ono thing is certain, his friends here and they are many are gratly elated ovor his nomination, an dthey are hopeful that he wilt be elected to the senate In No vember next.
