THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION.
Comprehensive Statement of the Military
and Political Situation in Nueyo Leon.

ST.. LOUIS Dec 5.-A special from Monterey,
Mexico to the Globe Democrat, gives the fol-
lowing interesting account of the political situa-
tion in the State of Nuevo Leon:
Advices from Lampasas, Bustamente and
Villadama confirm the rumor in regard to the
organization of large force in that region to
aid acting Governor Sepulveda. * is now
thought that there are nearly one thousand men
in the immediate vicinity of those cities who
look upon Gen. Juan Zuazua as
their commander, and are await
ing his orders. Governor Sepulveda has
given the revolutionists under Manuel Rod
riguez, the slip, and is now in the mountains
near Bustamente, over $50 miles north of this
city. When his forces make a conjunction with
that of ZuaZua, they will undoubtedly march
south for this city, and trouble will then ensue,
in which it is thought much blood will be she'd
The Ayala, or independent party here, are conf
dent of their ability to defeat the government
force provided the federal authorities do
not reinforce the troops at this
city, at present under General Reyes
The forces of Manuel Rodriguez, which are un-
der arms, are scattered in bands Gin the mount
ains near Santa Rosa, looking for Governor
Sepulveda and party. General Trevino and
General Garcia are now on their way to this
city from the City of Mexico, and will arrive
next Monday. 1t is stated on good authority
and believed by many, that a compromise has
been effected between the Diaz government
there and the aforementioned parties, and
that General Trevno has in his possession
documents ordering the federal troops
to Immediately join acting Governor Sepulveda
and take active measures to suppress all bands
of revolutionists in the State. General Naranjo
who is by far the most influential man in the
northern part of the State is also said to be with
them route, and will go to his home at Lam
pasas, and use his influence there to put down
all revolutionary measures in that community
On their arrival there, General Garcia will take
the Governors chair, and the federal troops will
take the field.
AS the attitude Of the federal government has
heretofore been more favorable than otherwise
to the revolutionists, it is now thought that the
compromise referred to was effected in the fol-
lowing manner: 1t is known that Romero Sec
retary of State and father-in- law of President
Diaz. is a candidate for President at the presi-
Dental election in 1886. The influence of the
Diaz government is being brought to bear on
that Generals Trevino and Maranio,
and Governor Garcia have pledged
themselves to support Romero in the next presi-
Dental election and carry the State for him, if
the general government will not place military
government over the State, and allow them to
assume immediate control over all federal troops
in the State to re- establish the civil government
If this compromise has been effected, as sup
posed, the arrival of Generals Treyino and
Naranjo and Governor Garica will be the
advent of active measures in the field, and the
revolutionists are preparing for this event
