Rebels Delay Naco Fight.

New York Times 100 years ago today, April 8, 1913:
Waiting for Artillery — De la O Captures Tenancingo.
    NACO, Ariz., April 7.— Gen. Ojeda's 300 Federals late to-day again went out from Naco, Sonora, and bombarded the State troops lines. The latter, numbering 2,000 fell back, and Ojeda returned to town.
    Gov. Pesciniera has telegraphed Gen. Obregon to hasten the campaign against Naco so that a movement may be made against Guaymas, but Obregon is said to be waiting for artillery from Hermosillo. In the meantime Ojeda is throwing up strong fortifications about the border town.

    MEXICO CITY, April 7.— Tenancingo, one of the most important cities in the State of Mexico, was captured yesterday by rebels under the command of Gen. Genevevo de la O. His force was composed partly or Coahuila carbineers, who revolted recently at San Angel, a suburb of Mexico City.
    A force of Federal troops was sent from here early to-day to attack rebels.
