While Rebels Attempt to Cut Off the
Ammunition Supply.

Ell Paso, Tex, May 1G.-General
Villa IS forces were converging on Sal
tillo today, according to messages from
the front. 1t was said the general was
planning not only to take the city but
to capture all its defenders. Prelimi-
nary skirmishing was reported.
Reports from Mazatlan were to the
effect that there was a lull in fighting
there, but it was understood this was
due to the drawing off part of the
rebel forces in an effort to sever the
railroad connecting the port with Mex
leo City, as means of cutting off its
supply of ammunition.
Much sickness was said to exist in
the city as a result of the lack of wa
ter supply.
