Guaymas Fell In Short Time Say Constitutionalists
Don Enrique Breceda reports from Eagle Pass that Guaymas remains the lone federal holdout in Sonora with its fall imminent. Constitutionalists surround the city by water and have driven back fed retreats, while executions and deportations increase behind the lines. The garrison, about 1800 with 700 veterans, includes many Tres Maria prisoners and recruits from Mazarín, Guanajuato, and other ports. Yaqui Indians serve as reliable troops, and broader western Mexico campaigns favor the Constitutionalists, who control Sinaloa and Tepic areas except for a few federals.
