SIMPLY A REVOLUTION.

The Leader of the Lower California
FiIibusters Tells His Story,
SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.-Walter G..
Smith, governor general of the organ
lied filibusters. whose attempted raid
upon Lower California was recently ex-
posed, has returned to his southern
home after weeks sojourn in this city.
While here be told the full story of the
filibustering movement to reporter of
The Chronicle. He says the English
colonization company was at the bottom
of the scheme which was in fact simply
q revolution.
Maj. Scott, the general manager Of
the colonization company, first broached
the subject to him, Smith, at San
Diego. Scott is a member of the En-
glish Royal Engineers and came to
Lower California on two years leave
of absence which has expired and he is
on his way to India to join his regi-
ment. Smith says:
Scott wanted number of Ameri-
cans to locate at Ensenada, to take up
residence there, and become citizens Of
Mexico. AT the proper time an upris-
ing of the people would take place,
arms and ammunition being previously
sInuggled into the territory from the
United States. An Independent govern
ment was to be set up in Lower Califor-
MIA, with Ensenada as the capital.
Il accepted Scott's proposition, and at
his invitation made trip to Lower Cali
fornia. If the scheme had been carried
out | would have made a clean $50,000
by the operation. My printing Office at
San Diego intended to remove to En-
senda. where was to start "a daily pa
per that would become the official organ
of the new independent government.
Il was to be made governor general at
large salary. At Scott's request, be-
fore visited Ensenada saw Gen. Ed
ward Hill in San Diego. Gen. Hill was
with the Michigan volunteers in the war
Of the rebellion. As he was expert in
military affairs we looked upon him as
a valuable man for SCOTS scheme. He
accompanied me to Ensenada and after
looking over the ground we both con-
cluded that the scheme was feasible. 1t
is my opinion that it would have been a
success had not Scott taken SO many
men into his confidence. He talked en-
tirely too much"

A REVOLUTION
Said to BE Organizing in Mexico
Against President Diaz.
The Movement is Undoubtedly
Widespread

AS Far as the Border States Are Com
cerned-The Strong Centralizing Tend
encies of the Diaz Government the
Cause.-The President May shortly De-
clare Himself Dictator.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, June 25.-Re-
ports which are absolutely reliable have
reached San Antonio of seditious and
revolutionary movements going on in
the states of Mexico bordering on the
Rio Grande, and it seems the utmost
folly for the papers, however friendly
to Mexico and the Diaz administration,
to longer suppress the news. The
movement is not confined to any one
locality, but it is undoubtedly wide
spread as far as the border states are
concerned.
A Threatening Condition.
Constable Martinez, of the state of
Nuevo Leon, with an escaped Mexican
convict, arrested here few days ago,
has returned and describes a threaten
ing condition of governmental affairs
observed all along his route from the
Rio Grande to Saltillo. He says that at
nearly every station and sidetrack along
the Mexican National railroad he saw
crowds Of men congrcgated and excited
ly discussing the advisability of Joining
the rebellion against the Federal gov
ernment.
When he left Laredo Monday morn
ing a courier had just arrived bearing
information of a band of fifty men, well
organized and armed, who had crossed
the Rio Grande from the Texas side, en-
route to some point in the interior of
Nuevo Leon, where the revolutionary
forces are massing in large numbers to
first march on Saltillo, the capital of
that state, and route the contingent of
President Diazs army stationed there to
suppress mutinies. All the telegraph
lines in Mexico are under rigid control
of the Federal government, and it is
practically impossible to get any direct
information pertaining to the uprising
in that state.
Cause of the Trouble.
The cause of the trouble is the strong
centralizing tendencies of the Diaz gov
ernment, which are, it is claimed, an
evidence of Diaz's intentions very short
ly of declaring himself dictator of Mex
leo.
Gen. Reyse, governor of Nuevo Leou,
heretofore not n very strong supporter
of Diaz, has been offered the portfolio of
the ministry of war which has had the
effect of quieting his discomfort, and.
Governor Gerza Galan, of Coahuila,
who has always been an avowed enemy
of President Diaz, has been in the City
of Mexico for the past several months,
where it is claimed that he is being re-
strained by force, almost amounting to
imprisonment.

Oppressive Taxation Causes the People to
Revolt.
LONDON. June 25.-News has been re-
ceived Of very serious rebellion in
Northern Siam, provoked by the op-
pressive taxation levied on the people.
The province in which the rebellion has
broken out adjoins Burmah. the most
recent addition to the British empire in
Asia, and is said to have suffered about
equally from Burmese raids and native
oppression. The King of Siam is one of
the wealthiest in the world, with money
wrung from his subjects, and his yearly
income is enormous. The leader Of the
present rebellion commanded a similar
outbreak last autumn, when he was de-
feated and compelled to retire to the
forests. This time the movement is
much more formidable and ia regarded
with anxiety at the Siamese capital.
