GEN. VILLA NOW.
LEADS REBELS ON
mexican Capital
Successful at Zacetecas, He
Hopes to Take Mexico
City Within Month
believe BACKBONE OF
Defense is BROKEN
BY The United Press.

WASHINGTON, June 26.--Direct
word received here today from Mexican
Constitutionalist sources is that gen
eral forward movement against Mexico
City is already in progress. General
Villa has decided to take the capital ii
possible in less than a month. He has
already started his men south from Zae-
atecas he will lead the movement in
person according to reports received
here and has already ordered south his
reserve supply of arms and ammunition
from Torreon. Saltillo and Tampico. In
addition it is stated here that Villa
captured a score of Krupp rapid-frers
with an enormous quantity Of ammuni.
tion at Zaeatecas and that this will be
used by him against Huerta's troops.
Although the Mexico City reports as
sert that Hucrta is planning series Of
desperate struggles to drive Villa back,
officials here who are familiar with the
situation say they think the backbone
Of the Federal defense has been broken.
In the last two months of fighting all
OF Huerta's veteran troops, with the
| exception of the single division retained
for his and Blanquet's personal body
guard, have been crushed by Villa. The
dictator has left only raw levies Of nm
trained troops. most of them young boys
who are in utter terror Of Villas train
ed battalions, Because Of this. il IS be-
lieved that there will be only one real
fight by Huerta and that this viii take
place in the neighborhood OF Mexico
City.
Officials very frankly assert that it
the Huertista and Carranzistas en-
voys do not get together very soon on
the question Of selecting a provisional
governor. they will not need to
do so, as villa will be in the capital
and will have set up Constitutionalist
| government by right of might.
A definite statement was looked
for today from General Carranza. who
is now at Monterey dealing with the
unofficial peace parleys," which il
| is proposed 70 hold. The Constitu-
tionalist iunta here claimed to have
no knowledge of it's contents, but il
was expected TO authorize Jose Vas
concelos. Fernando Calderon and Ra-
fael Zubaran TO act in the matter as
they think best.
