New York Times 100 years ago today, April 2, 1913:
Pascual Orozco, Sr., Guarded Closely Instead of Being Killed.
MEXICO CITY, April 1.— The breaking off of peace negotiations with Emiliano Zapata has forced the Federal Government to mobilize a strong force for a campaign against the rebels south of the capital. Government troops will move into the districts infested by Zapata's followers at once. It is announced that Gen. Pascual Orozco, Jr., probably will participate in the southern campaign.
Dispatches from Cuautla say Col. Pascual Orozco, Sr., was not killed, but is kept closely guarded at Huautla, in the same vicinity.
Followers of Zapata have circulated many manifestos repudiating the Huerta Government and also that of Gen. Felix Diaz, if he should be elected President. Many Zapatistas have resumed looting and burning.
MONTEREY, Mex., April 1.— The Fed-oral troops commanded by Gen. Trucy Aubert have been divided into two columns, one of which has left here in the direction of Nuevo Laredo to make an effort to recover the towns of Lampazos, Doctor Arroyo, and Sabinas Hidalgo. The other column has departed for Saltillo, capital of Coahuila, to serve as a guard for the workmen engaged in the reconstruction of the National Railroad.
NACO, Ariz., April 1.— Gen. Obregon, with 650 State troops., left Cananea today to attack Gen. Ojeda, who, with 400 Federals, holds Naco, Sonora.
NEW ORLEANS, April 1.— An official denial of the existence of political differences between President Huerta and Gen. Felix Diaz was received to-day by Dr. Ornelas, Consul General of Mexico here.
