Many Huerta Men Mutiny.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 10, 1913:
Federals in Agua Prieta and Guaymas Join General Revolts.
    DOUGLAS, Ariz., March 9.— Encamped in striking distance of several important border towns, the Constitutionalistas rested on their arms to-day, while insurrections among Federal garrisons strengthened the rebel forces materially. No word has come from Nacozari, south of here, where a fierce battle raged all yesterday. It is not known what the result of the encounter has been. The last word received from the besieged city was from the telegraph operator, who flashed "Too hot for me here," and left his key just before all wires between Douglas and Nacozari were cut.
    Open revolt and scenes of disorder have occurred among the 250 Federal defenders of Agua Prieta. The military officers there gave warning to all Americans to leave the town to-day. The best citizens of Agua Prieta fled to Douglas while the drunken and rebellious soldiers paraded the streets, crying "Viva Madero!" "Viva Maytorena!" and "Viva Diaz!"
    Brawls between politically estranged companions in arms added to the confusion and terror thai gripped the town throughout the day.
    Desertions among the Federal soldiers at Guaymas, the California Gulf port held by the Huerta forces, were reported here.
    Though orders were received by the commander of that garrison to move against Hermosillo, Sonora, with his full force instantly, no move has been made by him. It is reported that Federal officers there are in bitter disagreement, and that rioting is expected. A message received in Nogales from Mexico City states that another division of troopers numbering 2,000 has started its march against Hermosillo to attack the Constitutionalistas.
    Mobilization of rebel troops was begun last night and continued through to-day. At Magdalena 1,000 recruits organized and are ready to take the field. The State troops commandeered trains for use in transportation of insurgent forces. The State troop paymaster is paying the railroad men for their services. The soldiers of the rebellion last night burned bridges on the Southern Pacific to within thirty-five miles of Nogales on the Arizona line and three bridges on the branch running to the American mining centre at Cananca. With both wire and railway communication blocked, the insurgents are in complete control of Sonora. They assert that they will be able to check any advance made against them by the forces said to have been dispatched by President Huerta. Col. Emilio Kosterlitzky, commander of the Federal rural police in that State, made the public statement to-day, "Things look pretty bad." He received a report from Federal agents that 600 rebel troops were moving against Nogales, Sonora.
    All movable valuables, including safes, were brought to the American side today from the Mexican Custom House. Nogales (Mexico) banks are preparing to transfer funds to this side of the border.
    Gen. Ojeda, commander of Agua Prieta, received yesterday an order to evacuate the town and march to Nogales, but that command was rescinded when Mexico City learned of the battle at Nacozari.
