Fierce Battle
 Near Torreon
REBELS FIGHTING FROM STONE
 RoUNpHoUsE.
FEDERAL LOSS HEAVY
Rebels Claim Their Dsad Number 700
 Report of Surrender of Torreon
 Raised False Hopes,

Juarez, Mexico, March 24-Roseate rumors and ''official' reports of the on ward sweep of General Francisco Vh- la and his victorious rebels kept this city in a state of gratihed excitement today, but the optimism was dashed somewhat by the receipt of the As sociated Press despatch from Chihua- hua quoting an official despatch to the effect that lighting continues at Gomez Palac1o. It was announced officially in the course of the morning that the city, three miles from Torreon. was taken last night at g o'clock and that General Villa had ordered supplies sent direct to that city.
 False Report of Torreon's Surrender.
 Next came the word that General Eugenio Aguirrez BenavideS had cap tured two federal cuarteIs in Torreon itself. This information was convey ed in a private telegram from Colonel Trevfno, one of Benavides staff of fcers, to his brother in Juarez, At this there was further joy, but it was nothing to the excitement occasioned when General Manuel Chao, military governor of the state of Chihuahua and now in this city, to greet Gen eral CarranZa, received 8 private re- port that General Velasco, the federal commander at Torreon, had surrend- cred. General Chao accepted the re- port with reserve, however, and tele- graphed to General Villa asking for confirmation or denial.
 After two hours he had received no reply.
 First Direct News.
 The despatch from The Associated Press staff correspondent at Chi huahua had something of a dampen- ing effect on the spirits of the rebels and it gave rise to all manner of con lectures. It was the first direct news telegram of the day, but it was argued that the official report quoted in it did not necessarily disprove previous re- ports of fighting in Torreon, or even that Villa did not actually have Gomez Palacto in his possession last night
 The report might mean, it was con- jectured, that the federals, as a part C the general battle, might have re- turned to Gomez Palacio and renewed the fight, while the other forces were engaged in Torreon, three miles away,

MORE TRUNK LINES
 ARE INADVISABLE.
Money is Needed for Maintenance and
 Renewal of Highways.

Hartford, Conn, March 24.-Highwdy Commissioner Charles J. Bennett, in a letter written to Governor Baldwin to- day, in relation to the trunk line roads in the state, says, in his opinion, the policy of the state must be to go very carefully about further appropriations for trunk lines.
 Tt is hard to realize" says the com missioner that it will be necessary to delay construction of other trunk lines than those already built, but the fact remains that the large amounts needed for maintenance and renewals will make it unwise, in my opinion, to provide for any further immediate trunk line construction. unless some means is devised for securing money other than by the issuance of long term bonds"
 Governor Baldwin in reply says in part:
 q have received your report on the general highway situation in the state and am glad of the information which it contains. It indicates to my mind that no further increase In the con- structed mileage of our trunk line sys- lem (aside from 50 miles referred to by the comn1ission) should be made, either now or in the near future
 Tt also raises two serious questions, namely: First as to whether our pres ent law for state aid in construction and repairing town roads should not be materially modified. and. second whether the state automobile tax is sufficiently high. One or both of these points will, I presume, be discussed in an extended report later.S
