GARzA'S REVOLUTION
His Cause Rapidly Gaining New
Adherents.
JOINED BY MEXICAN SOLDIERS.

Several Hundred Government Troops
Reported to Have Killed Their
Commander and Gone to Join the
Revolutionists-The Rebel Leader
in Fighting Mood
SAN ANTONIO. Tex, Dec. 3D. General
Stanley, in command of this department,
has received instructions to suppress the
adherents of CARA, who are collecting
in Starr and Duval counties, on the
border Two troops Of cavalry have al
ready left here, and two more will 20
Saturday, being delayed until then by
lack of transportation facilities.
Garza's proposed invasion and restora-
tion of the convention of 1857 now ex-
cites less ridicule than it did in Septem-
ber, when first promulgated. He has
shown himself capable leader, and
while avoiding pursuers on both sides
of the river. he has increased the num-
Der OF his forces to such an extent as to
excite alarm on Both sides OF the river.
Captain j. g. Bourke is authority for
the statement that every Mexican on the
American side is supporter Of Garza's
cause, and the masses of northern Mex
leans are similarly inclined.
1t was learned from Rio Grande City
that Garza himself is still on Texas s~l.
Authentic information has been re-
ceived that CARA and his men are being
protected and sheltered by Mexican
ranches seven miles north of Roma,
Texas. Ignace Ramorez is his recruit
ing officer and is christening men for
Cara daily at ranchnear Casa Blanco.
A great many names have been secured,
and warrants will be issued Immediately
for their arrest.
Mexican Troops Revolt.
MONTEREY, Mex, Dec. 31.-Governor
Reise, of the state of Neuya Leon, and
the military authorities here are much
disturbed over the situation on the
frontier. The movements of the troops
through here from the lower part of the
republic during the past five days has
been very great, and the transportation
facilities of the Mexican National road
have been insufficient to accommodate
the heavy demand made upon it by the
government. The garrison here has
rushed all of its available troops to
Neuva Laredo, from which place they
are distributed along the right bank Of
the Rio Grande.
News has reached here that General
Lorenzo Garcia, in command of tho
troops of the field in the northern zone
of Mexico, with headquarters at Mier,
has been murdered by his command,
and that his entire force, numbering
several hundred men, has gone over to
the side of the revolutionists, crossing
over into Texas in body, at n point be-
tween Romo and Carrisa. The private
soldiers in the Mexican army are nearly
all convicted criminals, who, instead Of
being given term in prison, are sem
tenoed to serve with the militia. They
are desperate characters, and are nearly
all secret sympathizers OF the revolution
airy movement. General Garcia was
one of the most prominent and efficient
officers from the Mexican army, and his
death at the present time is serious
blow to the government.
BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Dec. 31.-Garza's
men are still hiding in the brush. The
military authorities at Fort Ringgold
have learned the names of several ranch
eTs who have harbored and assisted
Garza's men. Warrants will be issued,
and these parties will be arrested for
violation of the neutrality laws. Ad-
vices from Captain Hardie, at Car
rezo, say Cara has united $50 OF his
men north of Toperia. He is reported
desperate and will fight anyone who
opposes him. There are United States
troops and rangers enough in that vi
einity to give him good fight.
