Juarez, Mexico, March 3O.-An Off
cial message from the front Sunday
night stated that fighting was still 60
ing on for the possession of Torreon.
The telegram said that the rebels now
hold all positions except the main bar
racks and the smaller barracks.
In the last twenty-four hours it is
reported that General Villa took Cerro
de la Cruz and the Torreon foundry.
1t was reported by private in a mes
eral Villa had been wounded, and
forced to retire from the front.
Another telegram received here ad-
mits a rebel loss in the last six days
Of 900 killed and wounded, and places
the federal loss at 1000. AS there are
already at Chihuahua 500 wounded,
the report of rebel losses is thought
10 have been minimized. Among the
rebel wounded is General Tomas Ur-
bina.
1t is said that private soldiers taken
prisoners are being taken into the
rebel ranks, but their officers are exc
cuted unless they take the oath of al
legiance to the constitutionalist cause.
All irregular troops in the federal
garrison are executed upon capture.
General Venustiano Carranza ar
rived last evening. Absence OF ad-
vices from General villa were taken
to indicate to a certainty that If he has
not been repulsed, at least he has not
yet taken Torreon.
In Juarez it was confidently ex-
pressed that news of the capture OF
the city would form the chief feature
Of the welcome to General Carranza,
and the fact that no message of sue
cess of any kind was awaiting him
was accepted as indicating that the
fate of the city was still in the bal
ance.

Assessors Ask six-Year Term.

Denver.-A proposed constitutional
amendment by which the term or
office of county assessors Will be
changed from two years to six years
will be submitted tc the people by In
itiation in November, according to a
decision reached by the Colorado
assessors at the final session of their
conference with the state tax commits
sion. The assessors hold that two
years is not sufficient time for an
officer to become sufficiently acquaint-
ed with the complicated duties of his
position to give the public the best
service. They will therefore initiate
an amendment and submit it to the
people on the ground that the change
would work for higher efficiency in
the administration of the public busi-
ness.
