Huerta Asks Peace; Americans Vigilant.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 4, 1913:
Provisional President's Envoy Arranging Meeting with Rebel Chieftains in El Paso.
BORDER GUARDED CLOSELY
Whole Ninth Regiment on Patrol to Prevent Another Attack Across Line by Mexican Troops.
    EL PASO. Texas. March 3.— Representatives of the party in power in Mexico City and chiefs of various revolutionary factions in Northern Mexico will meet here in conference, in the next few days. Vested with powers to head a peace commission representing Provisional President Huerta, Ricardo Garcia Granados arrived here to-night. He immediately dispatched telegrams asking attendance at a conference here to Gen. Pascual Orozco, Jr., Gen. Jose Inez Salazar, Emilio Campa and other leaders of the revolution against the Madero Government.
    The conference also will be attended by Emilio Vasquez Gomez, northern rebel Presidential pretender, and Col. David De La Fuente, a Gomez supporter. It is thought that prominent politicians from Mexico Citywill be present.
    Developments to-day indicated that Gen. Orozco and Gen. Salazar were in serious disagreement. Despite his announcement of accordance with Salazar on Saturday, Gen. Orozco in his camp near Ahumada, Chihuahua, since has intimated that he had not been in accord with Salazar since the rebel defeats about Ojinaga last September. It developed that the disagreement between the Generals of the northern rebels arose out of the future distribution of the public lands and the estates of the Madero family.
    Gen. Orozco asserted yesterday he would leave the land distribution to the Huerta Government. Salazar recently insisted that the Government lands be distributed at once and that the Madero estates be given to the northern rebel troops.
    Col. Pascual Orozco, Sr., father of the rebel General, arrived here to-day from Nuevo Laredo on his way to Gen. Orozco's camp.
    Official telegrams from Mexico City gave assurances to northern foreign property owners that a substantial loan had been negotiated in Paris by Jose Limantour, formerly Minister of Finance, and that the Mexican Central Railway would be open to Mexico City in two days.
