BROWNSVILLE. Tex, Sept. 17.-Catarino
G. Garcia, the Mexican renegade who has
been running newspaper in Duval coun-
ty, Tex, in which he viciously attacked
the government of Mexico, crossed the
Rio Grande with 400 well-armed and
mounted men Tuesday night. his avowed
object being to start revolution. He eX-
poets strong reinforcement from the
other side. The movement creates con-
siderable excitement in Matamoras, and
the officials are using the wires freely.
Diaz Is His Pet Aversion.
Garcia is a noted character upon both
sides of the Rio Grande He has money,
education, daring, and violent dsposi-
tion. He has been leader of the turbu-
lent class of McXicans, and has a special
hatred for President Diaz. In fifty under
sized revolutions, municipal riots, and
clerical fights he has been the central fig

from justice. He has been in Texas
about six months, and officers have ex-
pected him To break out in some wild at
tempt to overthrow the existing authority.
General A ; Stanley, commanding the
department of Texas, yesterday received a
telegram from Captain Randall, Of the
United States infantry, who commands
Ringgoid at Rio Grande City, Tex, tell
ing of the invasion.
Desperate Band of Cutthroats.
The men are bound for one of the larger
pect it to arise in rebellion at their COM
ing. If successful they will seize the Gulf,
Monterey and Tampico railway and es-
tablish base of supplies somewhere on
the line. They are armed with Winches-
ter rifles and army revolvers, and ride
good horses. Some of them are men of
high family. and all are devoted 10 the
Clerical party, which is in opposition to
President DiaZ. Il is as desperate band
of cutthroats as ever crossed the river.
Likely To BE Rounded Up and shot.
General Stanley has telegraphed Captain
Randall TO patrol the American bank of
the Rio Grande with all the troops at his
command aud the Mexican military au-
thorities at Nuevo Laredo, which is head
quarters for the state of Nuevo Leon,
have been notified aud a detachment of
80 Mexican cavalrymen have been sent
down the rivr and will attempt to inter
cept the band. General Stanley thinks
the gang will be rounded up and shot in

What IA Gendarme saw During the Storm
y City of the Dead.
MADRID, Sept. IA gendarme who IS
capped gives a thrilling account Of the
food at Consuegra. He says that the dis
aster was preceded by a terrific storm Of
thunder and lightning. By order of the
mayor be and several comrades hurried TO
the lower town. They found the water
already neck high, and with difficulty
saved thirty persons. But the peo-
pie were vainly urged to aban-
don their dwellings and went to
their beds as usual Soon the storm began
again with Iedoubled violence, and the
river rose rapidly, carrying away every
thing with resistIess fury. The terrified
people climbed TO the roofs, shrieking for
the help it was now impossible to give.
One by one the houses collapsed, swal-
lowed in the seething torrent. At day
break hundreds of men and beasts were
seen struggling in the water, carried along
SO rapidly as soon to be out of sight.
TumbIed into Long Trenches.
A dispatch from Cousuegra says that
the place presents the veritable aspect Of
city OF the dead. The awful and oppres-
sive silence Is broken by nothing except
the noise from the jolting wheels of the
dead carts as they rumble from house to
house in search Of corpses. which when
found are hurriedly trundied off for
burial in the great trenches which yawn
for their reception. There is no time now
for the weeping Of relatives or mourn
ing Of friends over the remains of depart
ed loved cnes. The dead menace the Iiv-
ing-therefore the dead must be hustled
under earth with the utmost dispatch in
order that the living may not soon be-

not less than g. 500, 900.
