MEXICAN REvoLUTIoN1sTs.

Band.

Captain Hardie Closing In on Garza's
Band.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 30.-A Times DEM
ocrGt Laredo (Tex.) special says: A tele-
gram has been received by Colonel Coree
in Nuevo Laredo from General Garcia at
Mier, that says that Captain Hardie of the
United States Cavalry had notified him
that his (Hardie's) scouts reported that
Garza's men were massing near Ell Tigre
Crossing, on the Rio Grande, on the line of
Starr and Zopata Counties, Texas, below
Rio Grande City. Captain Hardie stated
that be was marching for that point, and
asked Garcia to be on hand with Mexican
troops to receive the marauderS when
they cross to Mexican soil.
a report was brought to this city from
Zapata County tonight to the effect that
Garza's troops had captured detach-
ment OF Mexican troops with arms and
equipments. The report states that the
revolutionists executed the officers and
gave the men a chance to go without arms
or join the revolutionary forces, and they
chose the latter as their choice. The re-
port, however, is not credited here. Cap
tain Pollock, Commander at Fort McIn-
tosh, is Of the opinion that both sides of
the Rio Grande will be patrolled with
American and Mexican troops, and
Cara and his followers will have little
chance to act and must necessarily dis
band soon.
When massed the United States troops
will attack Cara. The locality is far
from a telegraph-station, and an engage
ment may have taken place to- day. The
only news received by General Stanley
was to the foregoing effect, and came
from an officer commanding Fort Ring
gold during Bourke's absence.
The murder of General Lorenzo Garcia
i;y his troops, and their flight into Texas
to join Cara, has been confirmed. The
killing occurred at Mier. The number of
deserters is not known.
LATER.-General Stanley feels certain
an action took place to-day between
Garza's men and the regulars.
CARA HAS A LARGE FORCE.
LAREDO (TeXas), Dec. 30.-An inter-
view with a United States Marshal lust in
from the field of GarZa's operations shows
that there is certainly a large force with
Cara, and in one of Garzo's detach-
ments, which Captain Hardie followed,
there are not less than three hundred
men.

THE PREVAILING DISEASE.

LONDON, Dec. 30.-The influenza is
epidemic in the eastern part of the county
of Kent. In Dover, one of the principal
towns of the codnty, the authorities are
attempting to stamp out the disease by
the rigorous application of laws pertain
ing to the public health, which make it
an offense for person suffering with the
contagious disease to visit public places.
1t is generally conceded by medical au-
thorities that the influenza is a contagi-
Gus disease. Consequently a number of
persons suffering from that malady and
who frequented public places were
charged with violating the health laws
Three of them were convicted and each
fined 80. This is believed to be the first
instance, in England at least, of persons
suffering from influenza being fined for
endangering the public health by coming

bury so many people are i'll with the in

HEAVY WINDS UP NORTH.
MOST SEVERE STORM OF THE
SEASON ON THE SOUND.
Several Vessels Badly Damaged by
Being Blown Against the
Wharves-High Water.
Special TO the REcoRD-UNIox.

special 10 the hECORD-UNION.
SEATTLE (Wash.), Dec 30.-The storm
on the Sound yesterday was the most
severe Of the season. A number ofsteam-
ers were blown against the wharves and
damaged to an extent Of several hundred
dollars. Trains were badly delayed and
telegraph wires Frustrated. In the
mountains large amount of timber was
blown down, many trees falling on the
wires and railroad track. No serious
casualties have been reported, but it is
feared vessels along the coast have suf-
fered.
AS the Bailey Gatzert was leaving the
Commercial wharf for Tacoma she was
caught by the wind broadside and driven
against the wharf. The steamer Fleet
wood tried to swing her round but
caught the line in her wheel and was dis
abled. The tug Mystic then pulled her
around, but no sooner let go than the
Gatzert was driven back. She drifted
along the waterfront and struck the
Merchants wharf, damaging it consider
ably and knocking off fifty feet Of her
guard, and shifting her machinery. The
Mystic again caught her, towed her into
the bay and left her to start for Tacoma,
but it was found that her rudder was
broken. She began drifting again, and
was towed over to West Seattle.
The three maSted schooner Viking,
loading lumber at Smiths Cove wharf,
was anchored 200 yards north of the
wharf when the wind struck her. She
dragged her anchors, and was driven
broadside against the wharf Six bents
of trestle were knocked out and timbers
scattered around. A huge crossbeam
was driven through her bulwark and
stuck fast. The port side was torn open
for sixty feet near the bow. The damage
is estimated at $1,000.
The four-masted schooner Bangor, on
her first trip, was loading lumber at the
same place, and also dragged her anchors.
She was driven broadside against the
wharf by the wind, smashed her bull
warkS and beat holes in her sides. The
damage is about $4,000. a number of
piles were knocked out and the trestle
damaged SO that the Lake Shore trains
could not safely use the track.
The boats on Lake Washington are all
tied up. Lakes Washington and SOM
mamish are higher than known in the
memory of the oldest settlers, and the
waves washed out the Lake Shore Rail
road on Lake Sommamish. but not
enough to stop the trains.
Numerous trees fell across the Lake
Shore track between Vaudeville and
Snohomish, tearing down the telegraph
wires. The wires were all down on the
Montana Southern. Nothing was learned
of the condition of the road till to-day.
All telegraph wires were down till this
evening. The worst breaks were north
of Vaudeville and on the North Pacific
between here and Black River Junction.
The telephone wires were down in this
city great part of the day. The electric
line of the Union Trunk lines to Lake
Washington were blockaded by fallen
trees.

FUTURE OF CANADA.

Her Only Course to Become Part of
the United States.
LONDON, Dec. 30.-T1qtth, Labouchere's
paper, publishes an article on Canada's
future, drawn out by the troubles in the
Province of Quebec. Truth says it is the
manifest destiny of the Dominion to be-
come new United States or to become
attached to the great republic. The
change is inevitable, and the sooner it oc-
ours the better. The emancipation Of the
grotesque Dominion and its absorption
in the United States would be benefit to
the Canadians and also to Great Britain
Such course would relieve Great Brit
ain of the necessity of engaging in trans
Atlantic squabbles in which She has no
concern. 1t would, moreover, give the
Canadians that energy and enterprise
which no mere colonists can possess.
The only sufferers would be the Indians,
who would be transferred to the tender
mercies of what probably is the most cor
rupt and rascally institution on earth,
the Washington Indian Bureau. The
paper further says Canada once free, Aus
tralia would soon follow. The talk of
Australian loyalty to the British crown,
Truth says, is all buncombe.

Indians Again Excited Over the Mes
siah Craze.
FORT RENO (Ariz.), Dec. 30.-The Mes
siah craze has broken out afresh among
the Cheyennes and Arapahoes, and no
little anxiety is felt. While it is quiet
enough near the reservation buildings,
dancing has been going on among the
nils for several days and the craze is ap-
parently spreading. The leaders are
Whirlwind and Old Crow of the Chey-
ennes and Left Hand, head chief of the
Arapahoes. At first the gathering was
small, but Indians have been streaming
into camp until now there are from 1000
20 200 present.
They declare the Messiah, who is to ex-

and restore the hunting grounds, is soon
coming, and the ghost dance'' viii he
Kept up day and night until he arrives
Runners have come in from Walker
Lake, New, inciting the Indians to ac-

of the Messiah.
The ghost dance" goes on day and
night. The Indians are being divided
INTO relays, one party relieving another
as fatigue overcomeS them. All are pro-
vided with ghost shirts, and seem terribly
IN earnest. Scouts report that wild
whoops and yells can be heard at all
hours of the day and night from the hills
where the tribes are gathered.
AS yet the excitement has not reached
the Comanches. but it is feared they, too,
may become involved. This is regarded
serious danger, as the Comanches have
an ample supply of ponies, in which the
Cheyennes and Arapahoes are deficient.
All are well armed with Winchesters
and revolvers. Officers experienced in
Indian warfare are not inclined to believe
that any serious outbreak will occur at
present, as the Indians have horror of
winter campaigns, but the excitement
