Demands Town's Surrender.

New York Times 100 years ago today, September 12, 1912:
Rebel Chief Threatens to Attack Agua Prieta if It Refuses.
    DOUGLAS, Arizona, Sept. 11.— The rebel leader, Col. Antonio Rojas, formally demanded the surrender to-day of Agua Prieta within twenty-four hours. Otherwise Rojas declared that he would attack it with 1,000 men.
    A force of 200 Federals and 400 Yaqui Indians defend the town.
    Col. Begne, commanding the Federals, has telegraphed to Consul Llorente at El Paso asking for reinforcements. Word was received that 400 Yaquis would be dispatched to Agua Prieta at once from Juarez by way of Douglas.
    The rebels are advancing on Agua Prieta in three columns, Rojas with the principal force, from the east, Salazar and his men from the south and Rafael Campa from the west.
    Word of the demand for the surrender of Agua Prieta was brought into the city by John Scott, an American, who was first taken prisoner by Rojas and liberated on condition that he bring the rebel commander's challenge to the Federal chief.
