Many Leave Vera Cruz.

New York Times 100 years ago today, June 28, 1913:
Prominent Mexicans on Government Missions or Joining Rebels.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    VERA CRUZ, June 27. — Great activity is being displayed by the Government these days, which apparently foresees a crisis in its fortunes. Each outgoing steamer carries many prominent persons, going either on Government missions or seeking affiliations with the rebels.
    Gen. Mondragon, who left here on an American steamer, was subject to strict surveillance during his stay at this port. On the same boat departed Pedro Castillo, a cousin of the revolutionary Governor of Campeche. He went to Campeche to try to persuade his cousin to give up the fight.
    Gen. Luis Torres, ex-Governor of the State of Sonora, sailed on a Spanish steamer this afternoon. He goes to Arizona, by way of Havana and Texas, to take charge of the Government forces near the American border.
