FEDERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
Consul Hamm Sends News of Their
 Arrival at Torreon.

Washington, March 31.-Three off cial telegrarns were received at the state department tonight from Consul Hamn, the American diplomatic rep resentative at Durango, Mexico, con corning the reported capture of Tor reon by General Villas forces. When they had been deciphered officials ex- pressed the opinion that Torreon had not yet been taken by the constitu- tionaliSts.
 The first two messages were dated yesterday and reported that the feder- als were then evacuating Torreon The third telegram, however, was dated to- day and explained that the previous messages were premature and unre- liable" It added large federal rein foFcements were arriving at Torreon
 from the east" It was explained that strong federal endorsements for Tor reon left Saltillo Saturday morning and were scheduled to arrive at Tor reen tonight.
 The long expected battle in the neighborhoed of TaInpico is still in abeyance, according to reports today from the naval officers in that vicin- ity.

The rebel officials telegraphed to Co., meg Palacio asking General Villa if the news was true. The operator there replied that he was under orders to transmit no message of any kind.
 Purport of Reports.
 General Carranza said he regretted that he could not confirm the report, and other officials had the same reply.
 The first report was that Marion Letcher, United States consul at Chi huahua, had transmitted to w. J. Bry- an, secretary of state, 8 report fl pm George Carothers vice consul, who has been at the front with Villa as @ rep resentative of the United States, that Torreon was captured at 1.30 o'clock this afternoon. On the heels of this some rebel official telephoned to the offices of the Mexico and Northwestern railroad here that the equalization of the federals was officially announced.
 Messages of Inquiry Declined.
 The rumors spread rapidly, and in a few moments the streets leading to the telegraph office were damned with people. At the international bridge there was a stream of interested per sons pouring in from Fl Paso. and or ders were issued that all be searched for weapons. The saloons, which were
 
 again closed.
 That something was wrong with the news began to be suspected when rebel officials were observed among the seekers for information. Singly and in groups they returned from General CarranZa'S office, shaking their heads, and went to the telegraph office. Here, too, verification was lacking, and final ly Frederico Gonzales GarZa telegraph ed direct to General Villa, only to be informed by the operator that his mes sage could not be handled.
 Telegrams from Carranza.
 The whole incident left the impress sion that something of importance was taking place in the south, and it was hoped that official announcement of victory was merely being delayed for some purpose known only to Villa
 A telegram from him to General Car ranza, sent this morning and given out this afternoon, felicitated Carranza on his welcome to Juarez and said that Villa hoped to announce the surrender of Torreon in a few hours. Another telegram purporting to come from Nil- Ia said that he was meeting with des- perate resistance in attempting to take the general barracks, the last position held by the federals, and was about to dynamite buildings in the neighbor- hood so that he could bring his artil- lery into play.
