The Old Story of More Vigorous Efforti
to Capture Him.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.-The Cara move.
ment along the Mexican border is givins
the officials OF the war department consider
able trouble just at present. No secret Il
made OF their disappointment that CARA 10
still at large in American territory, and
that his operations cannot be confined ex,
clusively to Mexican territory. Cara and
his followers are known to have received
aid and sympathy from Mexican residents
in the vicinity of Rio Grande, aud the facl
tnat the United States troops are unable
TO capture the revolutionists is il
large measure attributed to the deceptioni
practiced upon them by these people Gen
Grant, Acting Secretary of War, and Gen.
Scho1eld had conference with the Presi
dent on this subject to-day, and It is under
stood that it was decided to take vigorous
action to capture Cara and his immediate
followers, or to drive them out Of this coum
try. Senior R. nero, the Mexican minister
| also had talk with Secretary Blaine on th.
Same subject to-day and WIS assured tina
this government would do its utmost t.
preserve the neutrality laws.
TROOPS NOT TO CROSS THE BORDER
The President Of Mexico has withdraw
the suggestion recently made by him, tha
Mexican troops In close pursuit Of tn,
revolutionists be allowed to cross the Rlo
Grande at points where the exact line oi
division OF the two countries is as yet unde.
fined, like privilege to be con
ceded to United States troops unde,
similar conditions. 1t is understood thai
this action was taken at the suggestion Of
this government on the ground that tb,
presence of armed troops on foreign terri
tory might result In dangerous complies
tions. The two governments will continu
to cooperate, however, in the strict eE
forcement Of the neutrality laws.

since the Glover killing and have
worked faithfully to avenge the death Of
the late scout, They finally concluded
that detective work would ect far better 10
case of this kind than a body Of troops,
hence the return to their quarters. Capt
Chase has his entire command near Bena
vides. He has left Patio Blanco, the home OF
Cara, and changed his quarters t.
Benavides. Capt. McNeill's rang,
ers are scattered throughout Enciua
county, and they expect to trace

ent unanimous delegation of New York in favor

ment and asking what action can be taken to

winter freeze out convention,
2. Pass resolutions at the meetings so held
condemnlng the action taken by the state COM
Inlttee as unjust, ill-considered and gravely
prejudical to the interests Of the Democratic

ment you should fight at the primaries to elect
delegates who regard the SNAP convention as
detrimental TO the true interests of the party,

the convention dissolve without taking any ac-
tlon at all. The fact that you have attended
she primaries is no reason for your abstaining
