DALLAS, TEX, Nov. l0-It seems that
the hlibustering expedit on which is to
invade Mexico and establish new re-
public, to be composed OF the present
states of Chihuahua, Sonora and Du-
range, is no myth. Two emiseries of the
movement are now in Dallas, and under
promise not TO give any Information
that might be used against him, one of
them has given to THE GAZETTE cores
pondent some points as to the true in
wardness of the daring scheme. He says
the movement was on foot before the Cut
ting case was heard of, but that In matters
OF such delicacy 1t is necessary to move
slowly, and with great caution. He did not
deny, however, that Cutting is one of the
leaders Of the affair. The executive
committee consists of twelve persons.
Three of them are located In Ell Paso;
two are travelling and working up the
scheme by secret agents; the remainder,
some OF them very wealthy men, are in
New York, Chicago, Salt Lake City and
the City OF Mexico. Three of the exec
tive committee are Roman Catholic
priests. One OF the latter is now on his
way to Rome to confer with the pope.
His holiness has long desired some con-
yulsion in Mexico, which might give OPP
portunity for the re-establishment Of
the Romish church, and the conspirators
look with great confidence to him for aid
The secret agent now in Dali
las says that II there had
been q war with the United States
over the Cutting episode 1t would have
been due mainly to the efforts and en-
couragement Of Rome, The Mormon
church, the emlsary says, has given
pledges OF financial aid on condition OF
receiving home free from persecution.
The Romish church expects to have its
ancient privileges restored, not so much
In the new Republie as In the rest OF
Mexico. In tact the object OF the con-
spiracy, as far as the church is con
cerned, Is simply to carry arms, organi-
cation and military discipline into the
ranks of the Mexican poems, who are
under the absolute domination of the
priests. That done the church believes
it will have no fiiculty in overthrowing
the Diaz regime and re-establish
the power of Rome. The New
York and Chicago capitalists
who are in the scheme are in It for what
they can make. They have faith In its
success and propose to get in on the
ground floor of the new government, max
ing handsome profit on its bonds and
grants OF land and minerals. The con-
spirAcy has progressed so far that the plan
Of the new government has been formu-
lated. 1t Is to be a sociRlistic republic,
held in check by strong military govern
ment. Great inducements are to be
offered to unemployed workingmen. The
secret agents say that the invasion will
not necessarily or probably take place
| from El Paso, but may occur at any point
| ON the frontier between Fort Yuma and
Brownsville. Cutting, the only man
whose personality is publicly known In
connection with the affair, is receiving a
bushel Of letters every day from
all parts OF the country. Nearly all
these letters tender personal service =,
and the writer's Of many OF them say they
can raise from one to five companies OF
men, armed and equipped. 81 do not
saw said the emisaTyi THAT Mr.. Cut
ting has anything TO do with the matter.

could all be made known the public
would open Its eyes with wonder; ioi
capitalists OF national reputation have
