Mexican Fighting Expected.

New York Times 100 years ago today, January 29, 1913:
Armistice Ends, and the Rebels Are Massing Near Border.
    EL PASO, Texas, Jan. 28.— The informal armistice existing for the last five days ended to-day after a conference between E. C. Llorente, Mexican Consul, and Salazar's representative, Francisco Terrazas. News of the breaking off of negotiations was sent through the rebel camps by a motor cycle messenger in the afternoon, and hostilities probably will be resumed at once.
    Col. David De La Fuente, Orozco's former artillery chief, who recently disappeared from San Antonio, Texas, where he was under bond for trial on charges of alleged neutrality violations, arrived in Guadalupe to-day with 200 men. He re-entered Mexico by way of Columbus, N.M. With Salazar, he will direct the operation of the 1,500 rebels in Northern Mexico, between Guadalupe and Juarez. The whereabouts of Gen. Orozco is unknown here.
