RECEIVING ACCESSIONS.

e G arcia's Band of Revolutionists Said to
Be Receiving Reinforcements From
This Side of the River.
BROWNSVILLE. Tex, Sept Oft is re-
ported from up-river points that Garcia's
force of revolutlonists in Mexico is receiv-
ing daily reinforcements from this side Of
the river. Small parties from Texas frontier
counties are crossing at different points be-
tween here and Laredo. There is large
element Of disconnected Mexicans in these
counties. Hard times and lack OF employ
ment and the inherent love of anything
savoring of revolution make them ready re-
cruits. Garcia is still reported as making
toward the Rio Grande, closely pursued by
Mexican troops.
The United States soldiers stationed on
the Texas frontier are all in the field watch
ing the river crossings. Fort Brown is oc-,
cupied now by the post surgeon and a
teamster. All others available are out,
and they number hardly more than cor
porals guard.
Gen. Juan N. Gorilla, the famous bandit
CHIEF and revolutionist is still in Jail in
Matamoras. The report that he had been
sent to Mexico is untrue Garcia's band
was reported last night within ten miles of
there. Stores were ordered closed and citi-
Gems pressed into service as guards of the
town.
The revolutioniSts were reported oppo-
site Santa Maria to-day waiting an oppor-
tYnity TO cross into Texas. Capt. johnson,
from Fort Brown, with his troops left Ed
inburgh this afternoon for Santa Maria to
intercept them. Their attempt to upset
the government of Mexico is evidently a
fiat failure.
ORDERED TO KEEP WATCH.
SAN ANTONIO Tex, Sept. 22-Dr. Plu-
ia cho Ornelos. the Mexican consul in this
city, has received instructions from Presi-
dent Diaz to keep himself FULLY informed
In regard to the progress Of the revolution
in Northern Mexico. But very little can
be learned of the movements of the revo-
lutionists, however. They are known to
be marching between Mier and Matamoras
and it is reported they have committed
many depredations.
The ncendiary circular spread broadcast
by the revolutiocists is having effect and
secret rebel organizations are said to be
forming in many place. These will Join
the UPRISING against Diaz when opportuni-
ty offers.
The Mexican officials claim that the pres
ent invasion was the result of the efforts of
Gen. Sandoval and Catrlno Garcia. The
latter was particular friend OF Gen. Mar
tlnez who was assassinated a few months
ago at Laredo, Tex, it is claimed, by hired
agents of the Diaz administration. There
was no engagement near Montery yester-
day, as was reported.
PURSUED BY MEXICAN TROOPS.

.... GARCIA ON THE RUN.
WASHINGTON, Sept. PA dispatch re-
ceived to-day at the state department. from
Mexico, says that Garcia and his party of
revolutionists are being closely pursued by
Mexican troops, and final engagement is
expected to-day, 1t is believed that Garcia

dispatch have been forwarded through the

that they may intercept the party.
WILL BE sHoRT-LIvED.
CHICAGO, Sept. 22-Richard Guenther, con-
sui general TO Mexico, reached here to-day
on his way from his Wisconsin bone, where
he has been enjoying a we'll earned vaca-
tion, to the Mexican capital.
In my opinion" said he, 'the present
disturbance in Mexico is indicative OF moth
ing more serious than the doings of small
faction that is always dissatisfied, and this
so-called revolution will be snort-Iiyed II
used to be, when the railroads and tele-
graph were not established, that revolu-
tions could gain some momentum before
the government was aware of it. Now.
