SHAW IS NOW DIS CHARGING CARGO AT WASHINGTON N. .C The L. B. Shaw, the first steimer on the New Bern to Baltimore line and which operated by the DeaKyne Steam er Company, left Norfolk Tuesday afternoon enroute to this city. She stopped at Washington yesterday to unload and take on cargo and will probably arrive in this city tomorrow, The Virginian Pilot yestcrda'y had the following to say in the regard to the new boat line: "A new steamboat line connecting Norfolk with North Carolina cities will be inaugurated today, when the steam ship L. B. Shaw will leave Upton's dock foot of Madison street, at 3o'clock this afternoon for Washington and New Bern, N. C, The steamer will make weekly sailings between Baltimore, Norfolk, Washington and New Bern, stopping at Norfolk going and coming. "The Steamer L. B. Shaw which belongs to the Atlantic Phosphate and Oil Corporation of New York, has been put on the run at the request of busi ness men, farmers and merchants of Norfolk, Baltimore New Bern and Washington. J. B. Blades of New Bern and C. Flynn, secretary of I,. ru l r uru HIE VllHIIIUCl VI VI Ud&ll- ington, N. 0., were instrumental in having the tine brought to those citie: Captain " E. Henry Deakyne of New Brunswick, N. J., who is familiar with and Well known in the territory to be covered by the new line . also played an important part in starting the line, 'Frank S. Reilly, superintendent of transportation, is in Norfolk. He will have his office in Norfolk and will go out on the steamer today to the Caro lina cities. He has established quarters and has secured wharfage'space on Up ton's dock. , Mr. Reilly said last night that if the venture proved successful, the company intended placing additi onal boats; Jn tke service as the com pany has 2 4 boats suitable for the trade. W hile, the company will only inau gurate a' freight service at first, a pass enger service vwill be put on later if the company, thinks, it will be justified in securing arpassenger. Steamer. The L. B. Shaw is said to be well adapted for the new trade as she draws but nine feet of ' iter and can -carry about 500 tons of c irgo.'" , f - .' ..i 1 " .'' 1 '"' -' --i.S :.:;."?'

RUMOR WAS UNCONFIRMED. Various Telegrams Have Been Rec eived by Offices, But Nothing Authe'ntic. Juarez, Mexico, Ap.il 1. This city was thrown into a state of high excite ment late today when it was reported that Torreon had fallen, but the report failed of verification or denial. Rebel officers telegraphed to Gomez Palacio, asking General Villa if the news were true. The operauv there replied he was under orders to transmit no messages of any kind. General Carran- za saia ne regretted mat ne souid not .confirm the report, and others officii Is had the same replv. The first report was that Marion Letcher, United States (. onsul at Chi fi a ii h;ui, had transmitted to W. J. Bryan Secretary of Stat?, a report from Geor ge Carothers, Vice Consul, who has been at the from with Villa, that Tor reon was captured at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. On the heels of this same rebel official telephoned to the offices of the Mexico and Northwestern Rail road here that the capitulation of the ; Federals was officially announced. The (rumors spread rapidly and in a few moments the streets leading to the tele j graph office we.e jammed. At the international bridge there was a stream ki inierestea persons pouring in ironi I El Paso and orders were issued that, all b? searched for weapons, The saloons which were allowed to reopeif : last night were again closed. I That something was wrong with the news began to be suspected when the rebel officials were observed among the seekers for information. Singly and in groups they returned from Gene ral's office shaking their heads, and went to the telegraph office. Here, too, verification was lacking. The whole icnident left the impress ion that something of importance was taking place in the South and it was hoped that official announcement of victory merely was delayed for some purpose! known only to Villa. J . A telegram from Villa to General Car- ranza sent thi.s morning and given out this afternoon, felicitated ("arranza on his welcome to Juarez and said that Villa hoped to announce the surrender of Torreon in a few hours. Another telegram, purporting to conic from Villa, said he was meeting with g.eat resis tance in attempting to take the general barracks that last position held by the Fedenls and waj about to dynamite buildings in the neighborhood so he could use his artillery.
