The Charge Made by the Mexican Consul
mt Laredo.
Mexican Consul Lameda, at Laredo, says
the report that General Ruiz Sandoval is
ready to join Gen. CARA is false He also
makes the assertion that he is rather in
rlined To think that Garza's forces are, and
have been, intended more to fight the gov
eminent of the United States than that OF
Mexico, and points 10 the fact that the
evolutionary recruits have been among
citizens of this country, CARA himself be-
ing one of them, in spite of his Spanish
name, and those of most of his followers.
Points Worth Considering.
Cara, he claims, organizes his forces o.
AmtricaN territory, living on it and TAX
ing torcibly ,orseS, cattle and forage from
Anne rican ranches; obtains ammunition
and everything else from this country, and
finally fights American troops, killing
and 'Nounding several of them. The con
SUI rther states that CARA does not in
tend to invade Mexico, and only crosses
the Rio Grande when hard pressed. as was
the case after the fight with Captain
Bourke's men.
