DALLAS, TEX, November lit ap-
pears that the filibustering expedition pro-
posed to invade Mexico and establish q
new Republic, to be COMPOSED of the pres
ent States of Chihuahua, Sonora and Du-
range, is not a myth. Two emissaries OF
the movement arrived in Dallas yesterday,
and under promise not to give any infor-
nation that might be used against him,
one Of them has given to your correspon-
dent some points as to the true inward
ness of the daring scheme. He says that
this fiibustering movement was on foot
before the Cutting case was heard OF, but
that in matter of such delicacy it is neces-
sary to move slowly and with great eau
ton, He did not, however, deny that
Cutting is now one of the leaders of the
affair. The Executive Committee consists
OF twelve persons, three of whom are 10
Gated in FL PaSco, two are travelling and
and working up the scheme by secret
agents, and of the remainder, some OF
them very wealthy men, are in New York,
Chicago, Salt Lake City and the City of
Mexico.
THE POPE INTERESTED.
Three of the Executive Committee are
Roman Catholic priests. One OF the latter
Is now on his way to Rome to confer with
the Pope. His Holiness, it is said, has
long desired some cOnvulsiOn in Mexico
which might give opportunity for the re-
establishment there of the State church,
and the conspiratOr look with great conf
dence TO him for aid. The New York and
Chicago capitalists are in the scheme for
what they can make. They have faith in
Its success, and propose to get in on the
ground floor OF the projected new govern
ment, making handsome profit on its
bonds and grants of land and mining
privileges. The conspiracy has progressed
80 far that the
PLAN or THE NEW GOVERNMENT
has been furnished. 1t is TO be a Social
istic Republic, held in check by a strong
military power. Great inducements are
TO be offered TO the unemployed working
men of the United States to emigrate
thithcr. The secret agents say that the
proposed invasion will not nece SSarily or
probably take place from FL PaSo, but
may soon occur at any point on the from
tier between Fort Yuma and Brownsville
Cutting. the only man whose personality
is publically known or suspected in con-
nectiOn with the affair, is receiving a
bushel of letters day from all parts of
the country. Nearly all these letters
tender personal service, and the writers
of many of them say they can each raise
from one TO FIVE. companies, armed and
equipped.
Ten THOUSAND MEN PLEDGED.
The Yaqui Indians, who have for five
years past held at bay the military power OF
Mexico, have been approached TO become
active allies of the movement, and their
chiefs are anxious TO take part. Confdcn-
tial agents are TO be appointed in the prin-
cipal cities of Texas and throughout the
country. Ten thousand men have already
been pledged, and the leaders OF the move
ment say that this number is sufficient for
the Inauguration of their purpose, though
they could, Unnecessary, throw an army OF
100, 900 men across the Rio Grande.
