Rejects Zapata's Demands.

New York Times 100 years ago today, March 3, 1913:
Huerta Won't Make Rebel Leader Governor as Price of Allegiance.
    MEXICO CITY, March 2.—President Huerta has refused Zapata's demand that he be made Governor of the State of Morelos as the price of his co-operation with the new regime. Government agents also brought back to Huerta last night the rebel leader's requests that all Federal office holders in that State be retired and that all the officers in his army receive similar ranks in the regular army.
    President Huerta sent the agents back to urge Zapata to yield, suggesting that he work for the Governorship in an open campaign.
    The Government has entered into satisfactory arrangements with some of the Zapatista leaders. That many of the Zapatistas expect to be paid for giving in their allegiance is shown by the sacking of Cuautla Amilpas in the Federal District. These men belong to five different leaders, the chief of whom, Antonio Limon, was one of those executed Friday. The men had been led to believe that they would receive considerable money on being mustered out, and when agents failed to appear with the cash they resumed their old tactics of outlawry.
    Limon's men have chosen his widow as their leader, giving her the title of Colonel. She has sworn to avenge her husband's death.
    Gen. Juvencio Robeles will be in charge of the campaign in the State of Morelos. He conferred with President Huerta yesterday, and they went over the plans of the campaign. It is understood they will use the same tactics of extermination that was successfully employed by Robeles several months ago, when he was recalled by Madero. Robeles will go to Morelos with 1,000 men.
    Although Francisco de la Barra has agreed to run for Vice President on the Diaz ticket, it is known that he wished to devote his time to foreign affairs during the existence of the Provisional Government and then retire to private life.
    De la Barra expressed confidence last night that the Washington Government had been favorably impressed by the developments in the past week, and would be patient with Mexico in her troubles.
    The Minister of Finance sent a message to Congress yesterday, asking authority to float two loans, one for 100,000,000 pesos, to be placed abroad, and the other for 20,000,000 pesos, to be floated at home. The larger loan would be used for general purposes, including the expense of the army. The other would be employed to pay indemnities arising from the revolution of 1910, including the Chinese claim of 3,000,000 pesos.

Rumored Trouble With Calia.
    The Cuban Government confronts the possibility of an interesting diplomatic squabble with the Mexican Government as a result of reports which have reached officials here of plans of the members of the Madero family who were taken to Havana on the gunboat Cuba.
    It is stated here that the actions of the Cuban Minister, Manuel Marquez Sterling, in helping Ernesto Madero to leave the country, are regarded as unfriendly by President Huerta and some members of the new Cabinet. Señor de la Barra, however, denies that Minister Sterling is persona non grata.
    Word comes from secret agents in Havana that the Maderos and some of their friends are already planning a new revolution, and it is stated that if this is true the extradition of Ernesto Madero, and probably a few others, will be asked for. As the laws of Cuba regarding the extradition of, political offenders are practically the same as those of the United States, the Mexican Government will probably charge the suspected men with crimes against the common order, and it is even said that charges of murder, resulting from the recent bombardment, might be filed.
    According to Government reports, the junta in Havana includes Frederico Gonzales Garza, former Governor of the Federal District; Señor Rendon, a member of the Chamber of Deputies, and Rafael Hernandez, ex-Minister of the interior.
    Raoul and Emilio Madero, brothers of the late President, who have several times been reported to have been killed, are now said to be in Texas and in communication with Rendon at Havana.
    Another feature of the revolutionary activities of the Madero family, in which Cuba is alleged to be involved, was the escape from Vera Cruz on the Spanish Steamer Marcus Calvo of a Cuban named Carriecarte, a former secret agent of the Madero Government in Havana.
    The Federal Government ordered the arrest of Carriecarte, who, it is said, came to Vera Cruz to help transfer money and documents for the Maderos out of the country. He escaped arrest by hiding in the hold of the steamer, and it is asserted here that he received aid from Cuban officials in evading the Government authorities.

    TUCSON, Ariz., March 2.—Assertions that he has the promise of political preferment from the Huerta Government, if he will use his influence to bring Sonora into line, are made by Gov. Maytorena, who is resting here after a hard trip by train, horse and automobile to elude Huerta's soldiers after his escape from Hermosillo last week.
