Federals Move On Sonora.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 25, 1913:
Two Columns Start from Guaymas and One Fights Rebels.
    NOGALES, Ariz., Aug. 24.— The Federal advance into the interior of Sonora was begun to-day. It was learned from telegrams that two columns left Guaymas this morning, one of which was reported engaged by the insurgent State troops.
    One Federal column moved east, evidently to destroy a railroad cut-off that was being built by the rebels. This line was intended to permit traffic on the Southern Pacific of Mexico to avoid Empalme and Guaymas, still held by the Federals. The column reported engaged marched north.
    Fighting at Mazatlan, in Sinaloa, was reported here to-night.

    EL PASO, Texas, Aug. 24.— Americans who arrived here in an automobile yesterday from Chihuahua said Chihuahua City was quiet, and that no Americans were being threatened.
