REPORTS OF CLASHES MINIMIzED
Rebels and Federals Not Believed to
Have Mixed Up Much as Yet.

FL Paso, Tex, March l9.-The most
thorough canvass yesterday of those in
position to know military developments
in the Torreon region resulted in min.
imitation of reports of the clashes of the
federals and rebels at Escalon and Ros-
ario.
The official tone in Juarez was opti-
mistic, and the prediction was made that
the real battle of Torreon lies in the
future.
The report that federals had got into
the rebel rear at Jiminez was dispelled
when it was learned that official rebel
reports to Chihuahua were coming by
wire from point far south of that
city.
Further doubt was thrown on federal
reports of decisive victory when Cen
eral Benavides, said to have been killed
at Escalon, telegraphed his father here
assuring him of his safety.
