Gov. Fuentes D Submits.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 1, 1913:
Gen. Hidalgo Takes Aguas Calientes —Porfirio Diaz Praises Huerta.
    MEXICO CITY, Feb. 28.— Conditions in the State of Sonora, where the authorities have refused to adhere to the new administration, were admitted in the National Palace to-night to be serious. It was thought, however, there, would be no necessity for a resort to arms.
    Gen. Garcia Hidalgo solved to-day in Aguas Calientes, capital of the State of the same name, a problem which no one believed could be settled except with the use of soldiery. Alberto Fuentes D. the rebellious Governor of the State, who had fortified himself in the palace and defied Gen. Hidalgo to remove him, surrendered at the last moment, and Gen. Hidalgo took charge of the State Government. This gives the Huerta Government one more State and materially strengthens its position.
    Ex-Gov. Maytorena of Sonora is admitted to be in possession of Agua Prieta, Nacosari, and Fronteras, along the international border, and Gov. Ignacia Pesquiera, his successor and personal friend, has fortified himself in the Government palace in Hermosillo and surrounded the building with artillery. To suppress the rebellion the Government's only available forces are a few regulars in Torin, but reinforcements will be sent from Guadalajara to Manzanillo and dispatched from there by boat to the disturbed region.
    The investigation which is being conducted by the court officials to determine the responsibility for the killing of President Madero and Vice President Suarez resulted to-day in the arrest of Mariano Luque, a commonplace politician, who is charged with having been the leader of the attacking party.
    "The friendly powers have shown confidence in us," said President Huerta today, "and so expressed that confidence through their representatives in this capital. These representatives have explained that the countries believe the new Government will bring about an early pacification of the country, which will enable all business enterprises to be conducted along the road of prosperity. This the Government also believes.
    "I repeat that to bring about pacification of the country, which at this time is a supreme necessity, I shall use all the measures provided by law. It will be absolutely necessary to use that power granted under the suspension of the guarantees in certain places."
    This measure gives to the Government the right summarily to execute persons found bearing arms or in any way aiding the rebels or bandits.
    News that pleased the Government was brought from the North by agents professing to represent Venustiano Carranza, the rebellious Governor of the State of Coahuila. Those agents said Carranza was disposed to recognize Huerta as President, but, notwithstanding their assurances, the orders of Gen. Trucy Aubert have not been altered, and he will push the Government campaign in the direction of Saltillo.
    A feature of the situation which is causing concern is the attitude of Col. Francisco Naranja, who is at the head of a thousand men on the railway between Monterey and Laredo, and who has not indicated his attitude. It was rumored a few days ago that Naranja might be in the rebellion, but that was discredited, as he had been one of the most active men in the army in fighting the Zapatistas and also because he was a protege of Gen. Trevino.
    Emiliano Zapata and his brother Eufemio have established themselves with their forces in the district about Villa Ayala, Morelos their home. Pending arrangements with the Government, they are reported to be maintaining excellent order in that district and it is not improbable President Huerta will obtain their co-operation.
