The latter place is the site of the famous tlalentlne hot springs, a health resort which rivaled the most celebrated Spas of the continent In the days of Porflrlo Diaz.

The message from Torreon has again revived the drooping: hopes of ft successful termination to General Pershing's expedition. American troops are known to have reached Satevo and are believed to have pushed south of that town.

Mex., government permission to use Mexican railroads for any purpose whatever, said Gen. Candido Agullar, Mexican minister of foreign relations, after a meeting of the Carranza cabinet today. At the cabinet meeting General Carranza and his advisers discussed the modifications suggested by the United States in the recent proposals for an agreement for crossing the frontier between the United Slates and Mexico by the armed forces of the respective governments. The latest proposals of the Washington state department were received here yesterday, having been sent by Rliseo Arredondo, Mexican minister-designat- e to the United States. General Agullar denied vigorously stories published In the American press to the effect that the Carranza government had given permission to the United States army forces to use Mexican railways for transportation of foodstuffs and supplies. "Please rectify these false statements. said General Agullar to the Associated Pres. "The Mexican government has not given the American government permission to us Mexican railways for any purpose General Carranza agreed about, two weeks Washington, April ago to "commercial" use of the Mexican Northwestern railroad for shipment of supplies destined to United States troops In Mexico and such shipments already are being sent over the road by private parties.
