THE CoNsUL's ADVICEs.
DR.. Plutarco Ornelas, the Mexican consul
here, is in receipt of a number of telegrams
from the Mexican authorities on the from
tier which show the whereabouts of the rev.
olutionists, and which DR.. Ornelas has re-
ferred to Gen. Stanley. Other kilograms
indicate that a ranch on the Rio Grande
called Casa Blanca has been used as a rem
devious for recruits Of Garza's army, which
ia believed to be rapidly increasing
in strength, though at present scattered on
account of the recent hostilities and lack of
communication. If modified Garza's
forces will be not inconsiderable, and there
is much more sympathy with him in Mex
leo than dare be admitted by his adherents.
