New York Times 100 years ago today, March 8, 1913:
DOUGLAS, Ariz., March 7.— With Huerta troops evidently in control of Guaymas on the California Gulf, the Constitutionalist rebels continued mobilizing to-day in Hermosillo, Sonora. The Southern Pacific wires below the border were censored by the Federals at the gulf port and by the rebels at the State capital. It developed that the telegraph lines were not cut, but were grounded temporarily for the convenience of the censors.
A wireless message to-day from the United States cruiser Colorado at Guaymas said the railway remained open to the south and that tri-weekly trains were being run by the Government. The Colorado, it was assured, would remain in the port. There is a large American colony in Guaymas. The American Consul at Hermosillo to-day got through a code message to the State Department in Washington. All was reported quiet in Empalma, the American settlement near Guaymas.
At Hermosillo barricading and the assembling of ammunition and recruiting of men were continued. Food supplies were being rushed in from the Yaqui Valley.
