 General Villa, although accepting the reports with reserve, gave two interpre- tations to this, one that the fedcrals were trying to equip a force to attack his rear. and the other that in the knowledge of cerain defeat Veasco was saving as much artillery as possible.
 City of Torre0n
 Torreon, although founded less than 30 years ago, has a normal population of 26,000 It has great soap, cotton, flour and iron manufactures and a great smell ter receives ores from the mines. Nine months of the year the landscape is picture of desolation, as it is now, but the annual rains bring with them color and bloom. The important adjacent cities of Gomez Palacia and Lerdo rise or fall in military and political sense with Tor reon. Normally there is a large foreign colony. but most of these residents have fled, leaving only few as caretakers of important property.
 General Carranza and Provisional Pres establishment of a neutral zone where foreigners would be safe from bullets, but foreigners said they would stay in the city to guard as far as possible the in- terests left in their care.
 George c. Carothers. special representa- tive of the state department arrived to- day and throughout the campaign will be the guest of General Villa, whom he has known for many years. Carothers was smiling, but he let it out that he took s25.000 insurance on his life before leaving Fl Paso. His particular duty will be safeguarding the rights of foreigners.
