GARZA'S MEN DRIVEN.
American Troops and the Rangers
Seem to Have the Best0f 1t.
GENERAL GARCIA Is NOT KILLED.
Hardships in Store for Soldiers With or
Without Fighting.
THE REBEL LEADER is ON THIS SIDE


| evening of two additional cavalry COM
panies over the International Railroad to
take the field against Cara. aroused new
interest in the revolutionary incidents.
The same special train which brought these
| troops had several carloads of pack mules,
said to have been sent by the Government
from military post in Wyoming. With the
troops now operating in the field against
Cara on the lower range, the Quarter
, masters Department at Fort Mcintosh has
contracted for large number of Mexican
oxcarts to transport quartermaster's and
commissary stores to the troops which are
being taken down the river.
A rumor, which is discredited, reached
the city this evening that Jose Sanchez, a
brother of ex-Chief Darro Sanchez who ac-
companied Captain Hardie as guide, had
been killed in skirmish with Cara S men
yesterday. There are other rumors that
State troops had fight with Garza's men,
in which several were killed on both sides.
General Garcia Is Still Living.
Inquiry to-day at Mexican military head
quarters failed to elicit anything in the
way of more news. the Mexican author
tiles declare that everything is quiet on
that side of the river
There was absolutely no foundation for
the report that General Garcia, command
ing the Mexican troops at Mier, had been
killed. nor was there any truth. in the dis

Hardships ir Store for the Troops.
The hardships now to be endured by the
United States troops operating in the
iungles of the lower Rio Grande can best be
appreciated when it is remembered that in
this particular section of the country no
rain has fallen of consequence for the last 18
months, and all the rations used BY the
horses have to be carried in carts down the
Carrizo from Laredo and then carried on
