BANDIT GARZA'S BOAST.
UNITED STATES TROOPERS STILL
ON HIS TRAIL.
He Defes the Military and Threatens to
Capture Fort Ringgold-His Forces Di-
vided Into Several Bands-The Battles
Reported on the Mexican Side.

New ORLEANS, Dec. 23.-The Plea
yune's Brownsville, Tex, special says ::
1t is reported from up the river that
another band of so-called revolutionists
were trailed and pursued by United
States troops, and number of them
crossed the river into Mexico. That
there was considerable number is
evidenced by finding thirty-one fires in
one camp and the remains of six beeves
that had been slaughtered for food.
There are rumors OF other
parties at various points along the
river between Fort Ringgold and Laredo.
1t is now stated as certain that these
parties above Ringgold were to cross
the river into Mexico to draw the Next
can troops from Camargo and vicinity.
The gang so CALAMITY attacked and
routed by Captain Burke and Lieutenant
Hayes, with less than one fourth of their
number, were to cross at Lagryella and
sack the town of Camargo. Now that
the war has commenced on this side of
the river, we feel the need Of the proper
garrisoning of the frontier posts. Moth
ing can be done with handful of men.
Cara openly defes the military and
threatens to capture Fort Ringgold to
obtain supplies.
The Picayune's San Antonio special
says: General Stanley today sent more
cavalry to the scene OF trouble with
Mexican revolutiolists. Captain Burke
reported by telegraph today his en-
gagement yesterday, and says the revo-
lutionists would have taken Camargo
had it not been for his force attacking
them. He has given orders to his men
to kill on sight any of Garza's men found
providing about the country in arms.
General Stanley has received from Pres
ident Diaz of Mexico letter compli-
menting the United States army officers
for their efforts to put down the organ
ization of the revolutionists on this side
of the river.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 23.-The Republics
Rio Grande City special says: Yester-
days battle seems to have scattered the
Mexican agitators, but the troops are
on the alert. From Mier comes the re-
port that on the Mexican side there
have been three battles between Garza's
forces and the Mexican troops-one at
Torillas, one at Bellicoas and one at
point not named in the advices. The
losses are not known.

Baseball Combination.
Gossip About well-Kuown Bali Players
The Sensational Splinter April
Fool Arrives In Los
Angeles.

Horsemen are coming in from all
points, and the coming race meeting is
an assured success. The first day of the
meeting begins at l 80 O'Clock tomorrow
afternoon. There will be four firms OF
bookmakers doing business. Nothing
but horse is talked about in all public
places. The speedy April Fool arrived
here yesterday, and already another
great race for the opening day is pro-
posed. 1t is a three-eighths mile and
repeat between such flyers as April Fool,
Jim Duffy, Hercules, Ida Glenn and
The Jew. 1t would be great bet
ting race, as the horses are SO we'll
matched. None of \ these horses are
engaged the first day. and it is to be
hoped that this extra race is put in, as
it will then make a sensational pro-
gram, and would certainly be the means
of drawing out several thousand spec
tators. The directors meet this after
noon and will then consider the matter
and arrange all other details in con-
nection with the meeting.
Pools will be sold this evening at
Rodman's, and one will then be able to
get line on the horses In the Elec-
trio stakes John Treat will be weighted
at ITO pounds. Acclaim's weight will
be 101 pounds. Kinda Dryer, the
2-year-old of the Rose stable, will
have to pack eighty-four pounds.
The weight of Ben H. is 10 pounds.
In the owners handicap the trainers
are privileged to put up the lightest
jockeys they can secure. The distance
of this race is l mile 40 yards, and there
will be at least four starters.
All the 2.year-olds entered in the St.
Elmo Hotel stakes are pretty sure to
sport silk. With the additional race re-
ferred to in the opening of this article,
this would undoubtedly make one of the
most entertaining days sport given
in Los Angeles for many long day.
If the weather is pleasant on Christ
mas day, it is safe betting that several
track records will be beaten. The best
mile ever run over the Los Angeles
track is l Al e, if my memory is not at
fault. Acclaim has already run mile
in l 40 rs this year, and as she is in
good form it certainly looks as if she
would cut down the Los Angeles track

EntertainmenIs,

COLUMBIA COLLEGE DRAMATIC CLUB
 Presented 'sFennel," "The Comical Coun- tess" and "The Corsican Legacy" to a large and brilliant audience last evening. The performance was very meritorious one, but was somewhat of disappoint- ment to many, who, not withstanding the program, seemed to have expected the hilariousness which accompanied the clubs recent production, of "Pocahontas." There were no singing and skirt dancing last evening only the plain, downright clever high comedy, and, if we must say it, @ rather poor farce. If the last piece had been more of a'burlesque it would have made the program less monotonous and the audience would have gone home better satisfied. "The Corsican Legacy'' had only one redeeming feature clever acting of MT. Morrell, who is certainly the prince of amateur comedians. MI. Jerome's "Fennel, {" the opening play, is gem, a fit compan- ion to "Simset' and Barbara" and a frst-rate prelude to the comedy which succeeded it. Love was it's theme and the musician's art its counter motive. The thoughtless, half hearted "Sandro" won his lady-love, and poor ''Filippo" had to content himself with winning the prize for the best violin ever made at Cremona.
 MT. Morrel in the serious role of the de- formed violin maker showed his versatility and the remaining character were very well taken. "The Comical Countess" gave to Mrs.
 Bloodgood an opportunity to display her talents as a comedienne. She is charm ing little lady and once found favor with her auditors. Special praise is due her from the fact that with all her sprightli- ness she did not commit the usual fault of clever amateurs-she did not over act
 The performance was given to fill up the clubs somewhat depleted treasury and in that object was quite successful Miss Ingersoll surrounded by the Dessaur Opera company were interested spectators and no doubt came as near seeing themselves as others see them as they ever will again.

NO ANSWER YET

By Judge Morris to Goyern0r Bulkeley in the Quo Warranto -Cass-No Extra Session of the Su- ] Preme Court Probable-Bu1keley
 Will Probably be Acting Governor
 Until Next November at Least. Y
 It is stated on excellent authority that the quo warranto case will not reach the supreme court until October. Hon., Lu- zon B. Morris is of the opinion that the court of errors will not be asked to con vens in special session for the purpose of hearing the arguments in this state con- test. >s>s-. -.se-- --.. .-
 The democrats were confident that Judge Norris reply in the quo warranto Prentice in the superior court to-day. They desired most anxiously thus to re- pei the notion now becoming general that the democrats, frightened by the decision on the ssfor" ballot issue, have abandoned the quo warranto altogether.
 But there was no sign of the democratic reply. State Attorney Doolittle, one of the lawyers on the democratic side, stated to-day that the reply would be ready next week for the court. He, ex-Governor In- gersol and ex-Judge Stoddard were to hold 2 final conference yesterday over the paper before handing it to the court. It is con jectured by republicans than the "for'
 ballot decision took the democrats by sur prise and that a change in tactics is being planned to meet the new aspect of the case. Fr1r -sl ':.: s'cG5' |s A leading republican well known all over the state has several private bets out that the gubernatorial situation will re main as it is without change until next November at least.
