ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.1
SAN ANTONIO, Sept 1.-THE revolution
along the northern border of Mexico is be-
coming more serious than was expected.
General Stanley. commander of the Depart
ment of Texas, to-day received the follow
ing telegram from Captain Randall, of Ft
Ringgold:
'"The scout sent yesterday has returned.
Lieutenant Langborne reports that he went
to Genetta ranch, 18 miles from here and
that party of about 60 men had crossed on
the night of the 18th. They came from
Paleto Blanco, 80 miles north of the cross
ing. Many of them were Mex
leans from Camargo and COM
manded by G. A. Cara A
large body of Mexican troops are in puI-
suit, having engaged them yesterday near
San Miguel The Mexican troops were en-
gagged yesterday with the Revolutionists at
Migre, II miles from here. have report
that there was trouble yesterday at Guer-
zero, but am not acquainted with the par
ticulars''
A dispatch from Brownsville SAYS: Not
much can be learned that is reliable about
the revolutionary movement on the Mexican
frontier. 1t appears that there was a larger
force across the river than was at first re-
ported. Two parties, both mustered in
Texas, crossed the river at different points
near Mier and Camargo -. r..
TROOPS IN PURSUIT. &
Their movements were known or sus-
pected in Matamoras, and early yesterday
General Lounero sent a company of infantry
to Camargo and also sent out cavalry scouts
to protect telegraph lines, which were cut
yesterday all day, but repaired to-day, re-
storing communication with the City of
Mexico and interior points. Yesterday the
Western Union lines were used by Mexican
Government officials, and full account of
the situation sent to the capital.
The revolutionists have had fight with
squad of armed customs guards near San
Miguel and lost some of their horses. No
one was hurt, so far as known. The party
seem to be avoiding garrisoned towns and
are making their way toward the mountains
In. the interior When last heard from the
Garzos party had increased to 100 men. The
movement cannot amount to much, for with
the railroad and telegraph facilities now en-
joyed in Mexico nothing short of general
uprising of the people could accomplish
anything.
YANKEE SOLDIERS ALERT.
These parties of marauders will probably
raid ranches and small towns; rob the peo-
pie and then turn their backs to the United
States, where they will be anxiously looked
for by our troops, and will be arrested for
violation Of the neutrality laws. In Mata-
moras, although tho authorities are alert
and prepared for any emergency, they at
tach no noimportance Co the raid. - e
General Cortina, the erstwhile terror of
this border, who is now an old man and Is
visiting Matamoras, was arrested there to-
day and imprisoned. Whether there is any
ground to suspect him Of being implicated
in this revolutionary movement, or whether
his arrest is merely precautionary, is not
stated. -'-
At Laredo while the plazas there and in
New Laredo were crowded with people
some parties unknown distributed among
the crowd q dodger, printed in Spanish,
called "a Plan of Revolution" 1t set forth
that Mexico was in the tolls Of a second
Santa Anna, referring to President Diaz, and
all liberty-loving people should Join IN a
revolution to secure his overthrow. The
plan went on TO name Catarfna Garcia as
chief leader or executive of the revolution,
and Ruse Sandoval, Of border fame, as COM
mander in chief of the army. II. g 81.
