New York Times 100 years ago today, July 1, 1913:
Constitutionalists at Douglas Hear That 500 Federals Were Captured.
DOUGLAS, Arizona, June 30.— "Guaymas has fallen. Everything in our hands."
This was the brief message received from Hermosillo to-day by the Constitutionalist Junta.
A later massage, which came from Guaymas, said that the State troops had received the surrender of 500 Federals on the water front, to which the garrison had been driven, despite the fire of the Mexican gunboats. The aim of the Mexican gunners was bad.
The name of Ojeda was not mentioned among those captured. It is believed that the Federal commander is hiding among the mountains of Bacatet.
