Special CnJie Despotch 10 Tue Sun.
MEXICO CITY, April 6.--The Government
still persists in its denial that Torreon has
fallen and the officials OF the National
Railways say their adyicos from FL Paso
do not confirm the reported capture OF
that place by Pancho villa They say
also that railway and Geographic com
muncation Is perfect as far AS San Pedro

The Secretary OF the Treasury says
Generals MASS and Javier de Moure with
their requirements have entered Tor
reon.
Secretary Of the Interior Alcocer says
he received a telegram from III Paso to-
night stating that Gems. de Moure and
MASS were just entering Torreon. &C
cording to news received at III paso from
the Mexican city,
President lluerta has received teIe-
grams from San Pedro saying the Fed

protect their lines of communication and

Continued from First Page.

Torreon was not as great as the public
has believed, inasmuch as most OF the
Federal army escaped and will be able
to fight again. villa took only few
Federal prisoners. The killed and
wounded in the army OF defenders is
about all the loss that Huerta sustained
except in ammunition.
Gen. Refugio Nelasco when he re-
treated succeeded In getting away with
most or his command and Villas forces
nave not overtaken them. That Villa
has given up the chase in person is made
certain by the telegram received by Car
rama from him from Torreon to-day.
Gen. Rosalia Hernandez. on the other
hand. has been checked in his pursuit at
San Pedro. During the battle OF Tor
reon Federal command. presumably
that OF Gen. de Moure. reached San
Pedro, but rebels sent out by villa pre-
vented the command getting into Torreon
TO Join Veiasco.
As Velasco retreated he left some Of his
infantry at San Pedro with the command
already there and pushed on toward Sal
tillo with his main body.
News came through to-day that Her
nandez had been checked at San Pedro
and had also been forced to abandon tenn
porarly his attack upon the place. villa
Is reinforcing Hernandez and battle
will be fought there. If Hernandez wins
he can continue mis- pursuit after Velasco.
but will hardly be able to overtake him
before he can reach Saltillo. The result
will be that villa will find Saltillo heavily
Garrisoned and may have another fight
as hard as at Torreon before he can take
the town and continue his advance to
Monterey.
For the time being. 1t appears. Velasco

Carranza to-day received the following
message from villa dated Torreon:
II have the honor to acknowledge your
message OF fellcitatioh on the victory at
Torreon. This victory signifies the early

nent and the triumph OF the rights OF
the people. which both you and | highly

Ell PAso. April 6.-Gen Carranza has
given an answer to the request OF Sena-
tor Morris Sheppard for a statement rela-
tive TO the position of the Constitution
alists regarding foreigners
The statement comprises about 1000
words and promises that all foreigners
will be given every guarantee in the

reiterates quite plainly Carranzas recent
assertion at Nogales that foreign countries
must take up with his Government their
own grievances, or at least recognize his
Government to the extent OF notifying him
that they have authorized the United
States to act for them.
The statement further asserts that the
rebel armies will observe the convention

prisoners will he humanely treated and
the wounded will be properly cared for.

ASKS INHERITANCE TAX CHANGE

Tonight urging that the direct inherit
ance tax law signed last week, be
amended In several particulars He ad-
mitted that he had signed the bill know
ing Il TO be defective. but feared to re.
tUIn II lest II should be defeated
Under the wording Of the act as passed.
the Governor said. II appeared that It
failed to exempt direct inheritances not
exceeding $1,000. 1T IL hardly necessary
to say" he added, that 1t was not the
intention Of any one that such tax
should he imposed. and now that the
question has been raised. while the Legts-
lature Is In session. the doubt had better
be removed"
The Governor admitted he had been
impressed by the arguments Of representa-
tives OF banks and trust companies that
any attempt TO tax other than personal
property would simply result in driving
that property out Of the Jurisdiction Of
the State. to the consequent loss OF finan.
cial institutions.
