ROBERTS. Chihuahua, July 14. General Villa gave orders to all commanders whose men are recuperating at Chihuahua, iParraJj, Jiminez and elsewhere throughout the state of Chihuahua to join the mak body of his army at Torreon within .ten days ready for an advance upon San Luis Potosi that federal stronghold (has not fallen in the meantime or against Queretaro if the federals attempt to make a stand , at that point Villa's scouita report that Huerta ds marshalling forces at Queretaro and massing cannon on surrounding hills preparatory to making a stand there which will result in his over threw in case of defeat or the deliv ery of a smashing iblow to tlhe consti tutionalists from which they canno recover, ihjeing in , unCamiliar terri tory and hundreds of miles from the?. base of supplies, which must come from , the United States or Europe Villa does not anticipate defeat, al though he does expect a desperate "battle. "Those who say the war is over anu ithat there will be no more fighting are mistaKen, sara voma nonay. f . They don't know Huerta. His back ia against, the wall and ho must fight. Talk of h!s quitting Mexico as idle, I believe. Talk of Carbajal as his sue cessor and tha,a he will invite con stitutionalist leaders to come into the City of Mexico without tihedr armie3 - and loin him in the formation of a civil government is silly. That would be "a compromise which would cause our men to desert and rallly around leaders with more backbone. ' "The wan must be fought to a finish and the national capital entered by men who have born the brunt of bat tle, as udh. men should enter a city they have fought to gain. "You have told me how at the close of the great rebellion in the United States all the victorious soldiers were jt taken through Washington as an ob- ject lesson and that they were re- vlevred (by tine victorious generals. We must have something like that in Mexico Cfcy "when we capture it. Thousands of soldiers will then go home satisfied who, if not permitted to enter the capital, will feel thoy have een cheated out of the fruits of victory. Carbajal's plan, if that is tils plan, won't do." Mexico City, July 14 President Huerta today attended the French fete in celebration of the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the fall of the Bastile.

Consul Canada cabled from. Vera Cruz today that the rebels were re ported to have cut railrcad communl cation between Mexico City and Porto Mexico near the Tuxtepec. This would bar Huerta's escape by this route. Indications that Huerta is about to escape may be false.

The home rule battle reached a critical stage tonight when the house of lords sent the amending bill down to the commons in an utterly transformed state, which the government cannot accept This is made clear in an uncompromising speech by Lord Morley. Speaking for the cabinet he said: "If this transformed bill is to bo taken as your , lordships last word then clearly the bill has only been an elaborate way of rejecting the home rule bill. It would have been far better had It been rejected openly." Sir Edward Carson left Belfast hur riedly for London tonight on receipt of an urgent summons. It is stated that he is returning for a consulta tion regarding the amending bill. HIS MOTHER DEAD Mother of Mr. J. c. Troy Died In Waynesville.

Three and our, hundredths of an Inch of rain fell - within fifty-five (minutes. The street gutters were raging torrents and no one ventured from shelter until the storm had spent its force. The Peoples' laundry and the Wright hotel building, both located on Martin street, were flooded with six feet of water. In the laundry building conditions were especially bad for the water stood in the base ment completely submerging the laun dry machinery and the water was more than one foot deep in the store rooms on the street floor. Uzzell and company, state printers, got the full benefit of one foot of wat er in their press room, which are one step above the sidewalk. The basement of the News and Ob server building was flooded with five feet of water and much inconvenience as well as damage to property was caused. But perhaps the Union station Buf fered more inconvenience than anv other building that was flooded during the storm. The station was flooded as the Seaboard and Southern west, and south bound trains arrived. Tan Senators Think That Jones inches or water swept through the white and colored waiting rooms Will Not Land the Job DEBATE WAS BITTER Washington, July 14 After a three hours' executive session this after noon during which the nomination of Thomas D. Jones, of Chicago, to be a member of the- federal reserve board was considered the sober judgment of unprejudiced senators was that the president's nominee would be rejected forcing hundreds of men and women to seek a dry perch on the tops of the benches. Due to the severity of the storm the city was without electric lights or street car service for three hours or more. It was dangerous to venture outside while the storm raged and the water poured down in torrents. No fatalities have been reported. ACCIDENT ON SOUTHERN Negro Man Struck by East Bound Southern Train William Carson, colored, was struck The debates at times was bitter and knocked from the railroad by east and none talked more vehemently against appointing men of tie busi ness affiliation admitted by the nomi nee than some of the democratic mem bers of the body. When the senate convened today republican senators were of the opinion Jones would be conflnmed. So severe was the con demnation of the harvester tr-ist and the fear of the effect of the selection for a high office of one of its man- bound Southern train number 131 a mile east of Greensboro Sunday morning. He was given medical at tention and then carried to Greens boro for other treatment. Carson's shoulder was struck by the "cow catcher" and badly bruised and his face was badly lacerated when he was thrown to the ground. Passengers on the train said that the negro was sitting on the end of a aging directors that a number of I cross tie and that the engineer blew democratic senators not suspected ot I repeatedly for him to get out of the disaffection expressed their strong dissatisfaction with the action of the president The democrats who are expected to vote against Jones are O'Gorman, Hitchcock. Reed, Martine, Variaman, Ijane, Ashurst and Clarke, of Arkcn sas. Sherman, of Illinois, is the only republican who will support him If the present line up continues the fate of Mr. Jones is definitely known and he will be rejected. Today's discussion was on Mr. Hitchcock's motion to make the tes timony given by Mr. Jones and the CQ'ttmittee's report public. The mer its of the case were discussed inci- way. Apparently the man was asleep or in a stupor for he made no effort to seek safety and that the engineer then slowed down. That the train was not running at a high rat of speed when the accident occurred. The Herald would have printed thii article a day earlier but It im possible to learn anything from the railroad officials,- A reporter got wind of the affair but was informed indirectly by the dispatcher that tbe . report was false.
