Carranza Says Fighting Mast Go On; He Will Not Recognize Gen. Huerta.

New York Times 100 years ago today, August 9, 1913:
Mexican Government, Revolutionary Leader Asserts, Is Not Legal — Obligations to Fellow Rebels Make Him Continue Campaign.    The following dispatch from Gov. Venustiano Carranza, the Mexican Constitutionalist leader, was received by The New York Times yesterday in reply to a message asking him whether, if John Lind, President Wilson's personal emissary, should request the Huerta Government to cease hostilities until the October election were held, he, on behalf of the Constitutionalists, would agree to stop fighting until after the election:

    EAGLE PASS, Texas, Aug. 8.— Contesando su mensaje de hoy, digo a usted que no reconozio en la Administracion Huerta un Gobierno legalmente constitudo, por lo que los compromisos contraido con mis companeros de armas en justa defensa de nuestros derechos constitucionales hacen que continuemos la campana empezada hasta llevarla a su termino. V. CARRANZA.

[Translation.]

    EAGLE PASS, Texas, Aug. 8.— Answering your message of today, I say to you that I do not recognize the Huerta Administration as a legally constituted Government, for which reason the obligations incurred with my comrades in arms in the just defense of our constitutional rights cause us to continue the campaign that has been begun until it is finished. V. CARRANZA,
    Governor of the State of Coahuila and Commander in Chief of the Mexican Constitutionalists.
