NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 2S.-A T'icoyaeS,e's
San Antonio special says: The revolu-
tlonary outbreak of Cara on the border
has reached a stage inspiring both the
Governments OF the United States and
Mexico to exert every means for its
suppression. General Stanley, COM
handing the Department OF Texas, re-
celved orders from Washington to do his
utmost to run down Garza's men, and
prevent q further violation of the neu-
trality laws, as well as bring the revo-
lutionists to account for their political
crimes, and shedding the blood of Ameri-
can soldiers. This vigilance is supple
mented by activity on the part of the
State Rangers, who are also in the field.
The following telegram was received

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Acting Secre-
tary Grant said to-day that he regarded
the situation on the Mexican frontier as
serious, and that the War Department is
exerting itself to prevent further viola
tions of the neutrality laws by GarZa's
band of reyolutiOniSts. If necessary to
prevent these men from crossing back
wards and forwards between Mexico and
the United States, the entire military
force under General Stanley's command
will be distributed along the north bank
of the Rio Grande. 1t is said at the War
Department that Garza's movement is
gaining strength Notwithstanding the
efforts of the United States and Mexican
troops TO restrain it. Inasmuch as the
Rio Grande is fordable seven months in
the year, and the revolutionists have
many friends on each side of the river.

every movement of the Government
forces, the task before General SANKEY'S
troops OF preventing them from crossing

THE HASTINGS WRECK.
Brakeman Herrick Makes a Statement
of His Actions.

PoUGHKEEPsIE On. ", Dec. 2S.-
Timothy Herrick, father of Albert Her.
rick, the fugitive New York Central
brakeman, saw his son in New York
Saturday and had long talk with him.
He says he urged his son to go to the rail-
road officials and tell his story, but he
would not do SO because of the excited
state of public feeling. Then the father
got him to make a written statement,
which was sent to Superintendent Nc
Coy to-day. In it young Herrick SAYS
that when his train slowed up, but while
yet moving, he dropped off and placed
two torpedoes on the rail, then ran back
to the train, which was still moving. but
as it Slowed up more, took his lights and
started down the track to stop the Croton
local, then nearly due.
When halfway down, he placed one
torpedo on the rail and then walked on to
the station. When he got there he placed
his lights on the platform, the red light
showing south, and went in to ask how
the local was. The agent did not know,
and Herrick sat down and remained
there three to five minutes, when he
heard a train coming and started for the
door, believing it to be the local AS
soon as he saw the train he knew it was
the express. He grabbed up his light
and tried TO attract the engineers atten-
ton, but it was too late. He followed on
up the track, and soon met q man who
told him about the wreck. He did not
deem it prudent to go TO the wreck, SO he
turned about and came to New York.
He adds that he fully realizes the awful
position in which he is placed, and can
only say he felt sure the train to come
first was the local.

Christians face, one destroying one eye
One pellet entered at the top of The
Princes eyelid, and descended at the
back OF the eyeball, causing acute pain
until the eye was removed. The shooting
was purely accidental, and it is uncertain
from whose gun the pellets came, al
though the Duke of Connaught is be-
lieved to have fired them. The wounds
in the Princes face from the other pellets
show that the shot were almost spent, and
had glanced from the Dough of tree.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 2S.-The police
have made large number of arrests in
Russian Poland as the result of the dis
covery of a secret league, the object of
which was to assassinate the Gar. 1t is
thought many persons connected with
the conspiracy have taken fright at the

and will seek safety by fleeing from the
country, so the authorities have ordered
the frontier to be closely watched, and it
is believed further arrests will shortly be
made.
