Texas Troops Attack Garza's Followers.
Forcing Them to Flee.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 4-There is
much excitement in military depart
ment headquarters and among the peo-
pie of this city over the serious
situation on the border II. ]. Mac
Neil. of this city, Saturday evening
received telegram from his father,
Capt. j. S. MacNeil, of the
Texas rangers, which states that he
had just had desperate encounter
with the Cara men. His command
numbered only a few men. They were
scouting through a chaparral in Starr
county when they met a detachment
OF about thirty Cara revolutionists.
The rangers at once opened fire on
the revo utionists and number of the
latter were severely wounded Nearly
1000 shots were exchanged, but none OF
the rangers were wounded. The tele-
gram states that the revolu-
tionists were all we'll armed
and we'll mounted. They were closely
pursed by the rangers for a consider
able distance, but finally scattered and
all escaped capture except few of
those severely wounded
1t is reported from Laredo that five
Texas rangers were killed Friday in a
fight with the revolutionists
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. "A dis
patch to government headquarters re-
ports that on Saturday Second Lieut..
Langhorne of the Third cavalry, with
thirty regulars and posse of deputy
marshals, struck one of the Cara bands
and an engagement followed. The ban
dts were found 5 miles above Rio
Grande City and many shots were in
terchanged and some Mexicans wound
ed and some of the United States
soldiers were hurt Col. Pablo
Munoz was captured. Two gross
of cartridges and many revolu-
tionary badges were taken.
The Mexican government has offered
reward of $500, 600 for Garza's head,
but they will hardly get him. So far
the Mexicans have killed over a hum
dred men on suspicion of being revolu-
tonists, and this has tended to drive
other poor ranchers to join the revolt.
At Puebl the populace revolted and
every priest hes been placed in Jail.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Word has been

of the state department as the Italian
minister. The return of Fava to his old
post confirms the news that the United
States has agreed to pay small in
demnity in money to the families of the
two Italian citizens lynched at New Or
leans. This restores the entente cor

the diplomatic incident is closed. 1t

this case has been made on the part of
the United States by performance of
the same acts of Justice and reparation
which this country is now demanding
OF Chilli, and thu prospects now are
that within two or three weeks the

feared in the winter and spring months

cent of the $3.50 miles laid in 1890, but

The question as to whether anything
can be depended upon in this uncertain
and fluctuant world is becoming one of
importance. Here is Boston professor
who swears that the parallels of lati-
tude are not immutably parallel. but
wriggle like fshworn. If people can
not pin their faith in the parallclism of
parallel lines, if the parallel is not only
deadly but out of plumb, what can they
stick to, and On what can they stand
aud be not moved? Are the poles polar,
and will the equator continue to equate?

and these unsettling discoveries make

Kitchen Utensils.

There are great many kitchens that
are not possessed of the luxury of a
brush for cleaning potatoes 1t is next
to impossible to wash potatoes per-
fectly clean by hand. The use of a lit
tie scrubbing brush, such as may be
purchased at from five to ten cents, will
soon make their jackets fresh and clean,
so that they will be fit to be brought
on the table roasted Roast potatoes
should always have a little bit of skin
Clipped off at either end to allow the
steam to escape and to prevent thei,
becoming sodden before they are thor
oughly done. Such brush is also very
useful in washing beets and various
other root vegetables, all of which are
probably just as we'll cooked in their
skins and peeled when they are done

this rule as it acquires a bitter flavo,
