Blood and Betrayal: Mexico’s Rebels Unleash Chaos

In the midst of a fragile peace, Mexico’s revolution has erupted into chaos once more. In the mining district of Chihuahua, a group of 600 ex-insurrecto volunteer soldiers, armed to the teeth, have revolted against the Huerta government. Leaving only 200 troops to guard the city, they marched out with their arms, leaving destruction in their wake. Their target: the Mexican Central railway, which was subsequently destroyed near Jimenez.

The deserters, who have been traveling under the banner of rebellion, are now heading to the American Mormon settlement in Sonora, where they will be joined by groups from Oaxaca, Bavispe, and Moctezuma, totaling over 700 armed men. The Huerta government’s hold on power is slipping, and the rebels are capitalizing on the instability.

One of the key figures behind the rebellion is Colonel Obregon, a former federal commander at Agua Prieta, who has denounced Huerta and is now leading the revolt. His forces are closing in on Hermosillo, where an outbreak is expected at any time. The city is on high alert, with armed guards patrolling the streets.

The rebels’ actions have sent shockwaves throughout Mexico, with the government struggling to contain the situation. While there may be a glimmer of hope for immediate peace, the situation remains precarious. The rebels’ demands for change are clear, but the path forward is uncertain.

The revolt has also raised concerns about the stability of the region. The Mexican Central railway, a vital transportation link, has been destroyed, disrupting trade and commerce. The impact on the local economy will be significant, and the consequences of the rebellion will be far-reaching.

As the situation in Mexico continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the country is on the brink of chaos. The rebels’ actions have set off a chain reaction of events that will have far-reaching consequences. Only time will tell if the Huerta government can regain control or if the rebels will succeed in their bid for power.

The Ordway New Era has learned that the rebels are also gathering at Vera Cruz, where there is some hope for immediate peace in the Mexican Republic. However, the situation remains tense, and the future of the country hangs in the balance.
