Ell. PASO, March 26.---There is A
general tendency here tonight, in view
of persistent rebel claims of success at
Torreon, and lack OF any very late
federal claims OF victory or denial OF
rebel reports, to believe that the rebels
are getting the best Of the fight.
The fact that Mexico City is not
announcing any news from the front
has largely discounted In the minds of
American on the border the claims of
federal successes given out by the
Huerta consulate here. II is thought
tonight that the federal reports given
out this morning since they have been
followed by no others are likely quite
old
significant fact Is that up to early
tonight neither had lost any officers Of
prominence This leads some to
doubt the hot character of the fighting
claimed by both sides.
Rumors began to fly tonight at I
o'clock that Torreon had fallen to the
rebels The information bureau in
Juarez, when asked regarding the
rurnors gave out this:
"A message has just been received
from Chihuahua. saying that good
news for our cause has been received
there. The details will soon be wired,
We think 1t may mean that Torreon
has fallen"
Half an hour later Juarez declared
that villa had whipped the federals
all back across the Nazas river into
Torreon. and was closing in on the
city OF Torreon with his entire force
from all sides. The Juarez officials
