Message from Villa Apparently Min- | imizes Rebel Losses. | Juarez, Mexico, March 29.—An offi- cial message from the front tonight states that fighting Is still going on for the possession of Torreon. The telegram says that the rebels now hold all positions except the main barracks and two smaller barracks. In the last 24 hours it is reported General Villa took Cerre de la Cruz and the Torreon foundry. Another telegram admits a rebel loss in the last six days of 300 killed and wounded and places the federal loss at 2,000.

The plan of separating the north from the south of Mexico has long been contemplated by _some of the rebel leaders. They contend that the north and #outh in the last half century have de- veioped along different lines, both po- litically and industriaily. I'nless decisive resuits are achieved #con the financial affairs of the rebel territory will reach a crisis, according to men in authority. Six million pesos #n flat money are in circulation in the | states of Chihuahua, Durango and parts of Zacatecas and this money is sieadily decreasing in purchasing pow- er. Among the rebel wounded is General | Tomas Urbina. t is said that soldiers taken prisoner are being taken into the rebel ranks, but thelr officers are executed unless they take the oath of allesience to the | constitutionalist cause. | All irregular troops in the federal | garrison are executed on capture.
