GABzA'S FLIG 1T.
An Old Wound Interfering With the
Revolutionist's Flight.

ReVolutionists Flight.
New ORLEANS, La, Dec. ga special
TO the PicaViine from Laredo, Tex, says:
"City Marshal Yglesas. who. as a deputy
United States marshal. accompanied Capt.
Hsrdee's company on its scout down the
river. returned last night. He reports that
Can't Hardee was pressing close on the trail
OF 100 Of Garza's men, who We're driven back
to this side by Mexican troops last Wednes-
day. The marauders had scattered into sew
eral bunches and took to the brush. Marshal
Igleslas states as the reason why Cara did
not tshow up in person during his last move
ment, was that he was SO hard pressed in
making his escape from Mexico on the oc-
casion Of his firss raid that an old wound ia
his bowels became sore again, compelling
him to take as little horseback exercise as
possible"
FOUR OF GARzA's MEN CAUGHT
A special to the Times-D Democrat
from Laredo. Tex, says: 1t Is re-
ported that four of Garzas men who
co by the government troops were
brought TO New Laredo today. It Is un-
derstood that the federal authorities will
endeavor to secure some kind Of confession
from these men in order TO implicata the
leaders of the revolutionary move
ment. As they are traitors, if
they do not confess they will
probably be shot The State Rangers under
command Of Capt. Brooks, who left Laredo
Yesterday, joined Capt. Hardee's command
OF United States troops To-day. A United
States government wagon came tnto the
city to-day from Capt. Hardee's troops af-
ter more supplies, but nothing could be
learned from the officers as TO whether
they brought news or not. The supposition
is that Capt. Hardee has not vet been near
enough to the reYolutionists to see the color
of their hair.n
BATTLE AT LONG RANGE.
special to the TInles-Democrat from
San Antonio, Tex, says; "Dr. Plutario
Ornelas, the Mexican consul here, to-day
received a dispatch from Laredo which
states that an engagement at long range
took place last night between Mexican
troops and the revolutionlsts at San
Ign8cios ranch, on this side of the border,
between Carriso and Laredo According to
the dispatch the revolutionists were assem-
bled in large force on the Texas bank Of
the river, having been driven across the
river by the Mexican troops. Upon reach
ing the Texas side the insurgents opened a
steady fire at the troops across the river,
which was returned. The battle continued
for some time and resulted in one of the
hcAlCdH bOluleTS Deluk killed auQ q NUMBER
on each side wounded. The fact that
force Of Garza's men is in that locality is
evidence that the trouble is spreading
rapidly.
NO NEWS FROM BOURKE.
at is the belief of Gen. Stanley that the
telegraph wires are down between Fort
Ringgold and Brownsville, or else Capt.
Bourke is absent in pursuit Of the revolu-
tionlsts, as no news has been recei Ved from
him.
"a telegram from the Secretary OF War
ordering that every effort be made 60 bring
the border wars to an end as quickly as
possible, and that the federal troops make
as many captures of revolutionists as
possible. was received by Gen. Stanley.
Acting upon this order the general imme-
diately telezraphed to the different com-
manders along the border to secure the
names of as many revolutionists as possible
and have warrants issued for their arrest.
Indirect word of the movements of
Capt. Hardie of the Third cavalry was re-
ceived this morning, and relieved the
anxiety as to his safety. He is pushing
hard after a detachment of 100 of Garza's
men. and will either have them chased
across the river into Mexico or brought to
a more critical situation In the next forty
eight hours"
The government denies the truth OF the
report that battle was fought with CARA
on the frontier. The district attorney to-
day siezed the originals of kilograms pub
