THE MEXICAN FILlBUSTERS.
An Interview with An Alleged Leader
Who Outlines Their Plans.

with leader In the alleged filibustering scheme
| to invade Mexico and erect a new republic. The
correspondent asserts that twenty or thirty
| trusted men have been enrolled In Dallas, and
says the number will be swelled to one hun
bred. The writer continues: Five times that
| number could be obtained, but the greatest
caution is observed in selecting men, and none
but the most trusted are accepted. All the
enls,ments will be made by the selected men
icing approached, instead Of those desiring 10
enlist being allowed to know wh om to approach
| In this way the promoters and leaders expect
| The filibuster leader, in an interview which
| he granted the Sun correspondent, despite the
extreme caution which Is being exercised to
keep the movement secret, said:
"Ihe United states will have very little 10 do
| with the movement. 1t can do nothing what
ever With the hlibusters after they are once in
| Mexico, aud We shall take mighty good care not
| to let the United States authorities know of
| movements or where we will make them. We
| don't propose, when We are ready, TO label our
selves .FlIibusters' 10 advertise the event. When
! We get ready to cross the border we will find
| plenty OF natives with good leaders ready to
meet us. We are not going into an annexa-
ton to the United States scheme. The object
| Is TO establiih a new republic, the Rio Grande
| Socialistic Confederation, to be composed OF
| the northwest Mexican states OF Chihuahua,
present intended, at Chihuahua City, as it has
| railroad communication with the outside world,
and Is the largest, richest and most important
| town In that section. We propose co1nning
our work to the most desirable field, and
not nave an unwfeldy area of terrltory
work over. We could not have the least
reVoiutlOnlZe all OF north Mexico al once.
We Will, ii successful, have very fair railroad
facilities in the systems already established, and
IA port susceptible OF development at Guaym;is,
on the GUT OF California. When the time tor
action comes, if the United States takes any
hand in the affair, we count upon that action
being favorable to The new republic, Instead ol
| against 1t, Tor the reason that when the Next
can federal government finds tselt confronted
with the extensive revolution that is certainly
| impending, and which 1t will not pe aule TO
suppress, ner heaviest creditor, England, who
is interested financially TO the extent OF nearly
S1OO,OOC,OO i'll Mexican bonds, will step to
protect that interest," and in order TO protect it
WILL no doubt, assume TO restore order by force
| oil arms anu the establishment OF some kind OF
| a foreign protectorate or provisional govern
lnent over Mexico Then The United states
will be forced to put in active practice the loug
asserted and maintained pOlcy Oi resisting
foreign (Which means European) Interference
Win the affairs Oh any OF the republics on the
American continent. When the time Ior out
sue interference comes, the Rio Grande social
lstic confederation viii have attained SUCH
powerful aud Respectable proportions tuat the
United States Will recognize its belilgereut
rights, and the new republic will not be long i'll
sowing It's own destiny. The lower class OF
MeAlcanS, known as peo..s, will lie with us from
the gu set, us We propose ele.atinS their cOuul-
ton from one oi ishofalce anu virtual servi-
tude 10 one OF llberty, property owners anu add
Vanctment IN education. One vi strongest
| IDEAS Is 10 have thorough system Oh pubic
SCHOOLS and make education IN the EugiIsu
