Lower California May Rise.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 21, 1913:
Constitutionalists Are Expected to Seize Mexicali, Near the Border.
    LOS ANGELES, Aug. 20.— Lower California is about to burst into revolt against the Huerta Government, according to Mexican refugees arriving here to-day. They report that the unrest is not confined to territory along the international boundary.
    Conditions became so critical at Ensenada, the capital of Lower California, that the entire City Council, with its Secretary, was ousted this week. The action was taken by the Jefe Politico, recognized as a firm adherent of the Huerta Government. Conditions in some or the interior towns are said to be even more critical than at the capital. The refugees say that the Constitutionalists are planning to open the campaign in the territory by taking Mexicali, opposite Calexlco, Cal.
