Consul To See Garrison.

New York Times 100 years ago today, July 19, 1913:
Ellsworth Starts for San Antonio — Rebels Attack Torreon.
    EAGLE PASS, Texas, July 18.— Luther Ellsworth, United States Consul, stationed at Piedras Negras, Mexico, left here to-day for San Antonio to consult War Secretary Garrison on his arrival there.
    Refugees from Torreon report that place was attacked by a large force of Constitutionalists on Monday, and that the town was not expected to hold out more than two days, as the Federals were outnumbered and provisions very scarce.
    Six hundred Constitutionalists under Cols. Garza and Gonza were reported to have defeated Col. Lavarette near Lampazos on Wednesday. They are expected to join Gov. Carranza on Saturday.
    A discharged employe of the Constitutionalists started the story that the American Consulate in Piedras Negras was to be dynamited, it was asserted today.

    SAN DIEGO, Cal., July 18.— Refusal by Mexican authorities in Ensenada, capital of the northern district of Lower California, to honor extradition papers for the return to California of Joseph Le Roy, charged here with highway robbery, will be reported to the Department of State by H.S. Utley, District Attorney.
    Proper requisition papers, it is asserted, were signed by Gov. Johnson, but the Governor of Lower California determined yesterday on a hearing to determine the possibility of Le Roy's guilt, which action is held by Mr. Utley to be a violation of treaties.
