Fu.IBUsT RING SCHEME.
Alleged Plan for invadin Mexico
and Founding New Republic.

been here for four days organizing an agency
in the interest of the filiDustering expedition
into Mexico. Yesterday morning they
started for st. Louis, leaving man here of
extensive border experience to continue
their work. There are now enrolled in
Dallas twenty or thirty trusted men ready
for raid the moment the summons is re-
ceiyed. and the number will be swelled to at
least a hundred. Five times that number
could be obtained, but the greatest caution is
observed in selecting men, and none but the
most trusted are accepted. In this way the
promoters and leaders expect to prevent
betrayal Your correspondent Saturday
night had an interview with the emisSary
regarding the belittlement by the press of
the daring scheme on foot and the part the
United States government is likely to play,
and the apparent oversight on this point by
the tilibusterS. The enissary said:
That's the least of our fears. The United
States will have little to do with the move
ment The government has no authority to
do more than 10 check it on its own territory.
1t can do nothing whatever with the fllibusters
when they are once in Mexico. and we shall
take mighty good care not to let the United
States authorities know of our movements,
or whe n or where we will make them. 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-
tion to the United States scheme The
object is to establish new republic, the Rio
Grande Socialistic Confederation, to be COM
posed of the northwest Mexican states of Chi
huahua Durango and Sonora. with the capi-
tai, as at pre- ent intended, It Chihuahua City,
as it has railroad communication with the
outside world and is the largest, richest and
most important town in that section. We

Lower Calf iornia. We propose combining our
work to the most desirable field. and not
have an unwieldy area OF territory to work
over. We could not have the least pros
pect of success should We attempt to revOlu-
tionize all of North Mexico at once. When
the time for action co mes.if the United States
takes hand in the affair. we count upon that
action being favorable to the new republic
instead of against ii, for the reason that when
the Mexican federal government finds itself
confronted with the extensive revolution
that is certainly impending. and which 1t will
not be able to suppress, her heaviest creditor,
England, who is interested financially to the
extent of nearly Sl00.O00,U00 in Mexican
bonds, will step in to protect that interest,
and in order to protect it will no doubt assume
to restore order by force OF arms. and the
establishment of some kind of foreign pro-
;e e,torate provisional government over
Mexico. Then the United States will be forced
TO put INTO active practice the long asserted
and maintained policy of resisting foreign
(Which means European) influence with the
affairs of anr of the Republics on the Ameri-
can continent. When the time for outside in
reference comes the Rio Grsnde Socialistic
Confederation Will have attained Suchpowerfu
and espectabe proportions that the United
States will recognize its belligerent rights and
the new republic will not be long in solving its
dl..n
known as poems, will be with US from the out
set, as we propose elevating their condition
from one of ignorance and virtual servitude
to one of libert. and property owners and ad-
vancement in education. One of our strong
est ideas is to have q thorough system of
public schools and make education in the
English language compulsory. The idea of
establishing new republic beyond the Rio
Grande is not new one. 1t is only revival
of the fnndest hopes and ambitious of Aaron
Burr, with the lines extended further south.
1t was Sam Houstons original intention when
he came to Texas to create q great republic
that should eEtend far beyond the
present limits of the' states. He never
dreamed of stopping at the Rio
Grande, and died strong in the
belief that annexation to the United States
alone prevented him from realizing in his
lifetime the establishment of his fondest
hopes, ambitions and dreams. The new
movement is in strict harmony with the
views held oy James Monroe, which gave the
world the policy known as the Monroe doc
trine. which was pure and simple Repub-
licanism in fact as well as theory, and to
Anglicize. so far as language is concerned,
ali the people to the south of us, and as far
as the interference idea referred to by me is
concerned, he planted himself squarely on it
in his first message to congress IN stating that
foreign Intervention in the affairs of
American republics should never be toll
