Ammunition ID Scarce.

Washington, January lo.-Scarcity
of ammunition is believed by military
experts here to be the reason Consti-
tutionalists under the lead of General
Carranza are moving to renew the
Siege of Guaymas, on the west coast
OF Mexico.
Heretofore, rebels have relied for
supplies upon ammunition captured
from Federals, but this source recent
ly has been cut off. and. so far as is
know tho only resources now pos
sessed are tho rapidly diminishing
stocks captured at Torreon many
weeks ago.
The appearance near Guaymas of
General CarranZa. therefore. is believed
TO be part OF n plan to obtain ammuni-
ton by capturing seaport where
consignmerts OF arms and ammuni-
ton can ae received from countries
other than the United States.
No developments In the political sit
uation In Mexico were reported to-day.
From the Navy Department announce
ment was made of the assignment OF
Major Smedley d. Butler TO command
the marines OF the third division OF
tho Atlantic fleet, now lying off Vera
Cruz. Major Butler has been on duty
in tho Canal Zone. and with ten other
officers was detached from Camp Ell
lott. Panama. for duty in Mexican
| waters.
