Carranza Warns Europe.

New York Times 100 years ago today, May 24, 1913:
Cables France and England That Huerta Loan May Cause War.
    EAGLE PASS, Texas, May 23.— In a statement to-day during a conference of his military advisers Gov. Carranza, the Mexican Constitutional leader, announced he had cabled to the Premiers of Great Britain and France warning them of complications if European capitalists negotiated the Huerta loan and took pledges of customs receipts. He told them that if the Constitutionalist movement succeeded an attempt by England or France to collect this loan might provoke war with Mexico. He asked the Ministers to make his statement public.
    In a battle near Sacramento, in Northeast Mexico, 100 Federals were ambushed and killed by Constitutionalists, according to reports brought here today by Constitutionalist leaders, who are gathering across the river for a military conference.
    Carvo, a former follower of Orozco, led the Federals at Sacramento. This victory gave the Constitutionalists possession of all towns between Saltillo and Monclova. Huerta's opponents also, say that they have captured the cities of Zacatecas, Parras, and San Pedro de Colonias, near Torreon.
