SAN ANTONIO, TEX. FEB. IA. ]. Evans,
United States district attorney for the
Western district of Texas. returned to-day
from the recent session of Federal
court at Brownsville, where IN his
official capacity he examined hundreds
of witnesses preparatory to the prosecu-
ton of the prisoners held by the govern
ment on the charge of violat-
ing the neutrality law. He states
on the Texas side of the river is practically
over, and that Garza's men viii not be able
to congregate again. The Federal authori-
ties have list of those indicted and war
rants have been issued for the arrest of
about fifty of the officers and leaders of the
revolutionary movement.
Judge Evans does not agree with Gen.
Stanley that it is necessary for
the troops to continue scouting
fo- the revolutionists. He states
that United States Marshal Fricke can
send ten or twelve deputies out in that
country and pick up all the offenders one
by one. The deputy marshals- would not
have the trouble finding them that a detach-
meut of troops would. Continuing, he said:
The frontier is filed with Cara sympa-
thizers; some Of them are United States
officers. The collector of customs at Rio
Grande City. Tex, has been removed for
the part he is alleged to have taken
in the revolution, and the Republi-
can postmaster at the same place
will probably be relieved from his govern
mental position on account of his recent
action in shouting for Cara while drunk in
the streets Of Brownsville. If Cara is in
that country, it will be extremely
difficult to capture him, no matter how
great q force of troops IS after him.

sensation was created to-day in Matamoras,
Mexico. by the searching by the military
authorities of the residence of Don Enrique
Vizzaya, prominent merchant doing bust
ness in Mier, Mexico. His family re-
sides in Matamoras. The military
had received information from some source
that Mr.. Vizzaya had arms and ammunition
for the revolutionists concealed in the
house. The square in which his house is
situated was surrounded by troops and
the premises searched from cellar
to roof OF course nothing was
found. Mr. Vizzaya is an American citizen
and is United States consular agent at
Mier.
Nothing heard from Cara or his follow
ers.
Blakely and Coyn, two soldiers under
sentence of garrison court-martial and
confined at Fort Brown guard
house, broke through the roof of
the guardhouse to-day and started for
Mexico. City Marshal Brito arrested them
as they were about to cross the river and

In the House.

The rules are still the subject of harrow
ing discussions in the house and of the
Democratic caucus, and frequent demands
for the previous question seem
alike important in forcing the de-
bate to a close and securing the adoption
of the code reported by the Democratic
majority Of the committee on rules. In
deed there is 4 general disposition IN the
rank and file of both sides of the house not
to regard the rules as a party question.
Some of the most radical features of code
reported by the Democratic majority
of the committee on rules find quite inter-
ested supporters on the Republican side.
Bourke Cochran, the well known Tam
many congressman, this evening surprised
congress by eloquently approving princi-
pie of recognizing ocular evidence of QUO
rum and his speech was enthusiastically re-
ceived by the Republicans.
Numerous bills and resolutions were re-
ferred this morning, the most i'm
portant being a resolution by Doar-
call of Patrick Egan, minister to
Chill. Then the consideration OF
the report of the committee on rules was
resumed and pending amendment one
offered by Oates of Alabama provid-
ing for the committee on or
der of business to consist of
fifteen members, of which the speaker is
0A-OIlClO 1HG previous question:
was ordered. Yeas, Is; nays, SO. The vote
then required on Oates amendment and
was rejected.
Hooker's motion to strike out the clause
giving the committee on rules power to call
up its reports any time and preventing diIa-
tory motions being made when they were
under consideration was lost.
On motion of McCreary of Kentucky, an
amendment was agreed to, requiring that
the general appropriation bills be reported
within eighty days of appointment of the
committee in long session and within forty
days Of short session.
Enloe of Tennessee offered an amend
ment providing the committees reporting
private bills, shall file them W ih the clerk,
and they shall by him be placed upon ap-
propriate calendar. Agreed to.
Burrows of Michigan offered an amend
ment re-establishing the rule of the last
congress empowering the speaker to count
quorum when such quorum was present
and not voting. It was on this
motion Cochran took the floor and made
the speech alluded to above. Others took
part and the debate was long and rather
wearisome. Finally the yeas and nays
were ordered and the house adjourned.

PENA, TEX, Feb. Captain McNeil's
rangers reached here this evening with two
prisoners from the country south of Alice.
In this vicinity there is considerable excite
ment over the killing of Rufus Glover,
guide for Captain Chase, United States
army. Glover was formerly clerk of Duyal
county and leading man.
He and two other scouts were following a
trail seventeen miles northlof Benavide,
when they were ambusheo. Glover was
shot from his horse and the other twomade
their escape on one horse. Over hundred
shots were fired and the victims were led
to follow the trail closer than they other
wise would by the fact that just ahead of
them was a large gray horse saddled
and bridled, led by boy, Leno Guerra. One
of the scouts brought the report to the
United States camp at Sweden. Capt Chase
was out with his command, but a courier
was at once sent after him. 1t is believed
the horse the scouts followed was Garza's,
and Glover knew it.
Capt. Brooks has moved his rangers from
here.
A junction of all the forces in the field
viii soon be effected and climax of some
kind will be forced very soon. Gen. Mabry
viii return from Austin tomorrow.

Brutal Treatment.

GALVESTON, TEX, Feb. IA singular
and cruel method of disposing of a witness
was developed here to-day. On the 9th of
November. Alex Rhodes, a desperate
negro, was arrested for an aggra-
vated assault upon his wife. Upon
a preliminary examination, he was
held for the criminal district court, then in
session, and was released on bond. The
grand jury found an Indictment against
him and he was again released upon bail,
when he found that his wife had testified
against him and that it was largely
upon her evidence that the Indictment was
based, he resolved to get rid of her as a
witness, and as she suddenly dis
appeared it was thought he
had murdered her. To-day this
theory was exploded by her appearance at
the sheriff's Office where she related the
following story of Imprisonment: On No
vember 90, rs she was walking along
Thirtieth street, after dark, she was
seized by her husband 1and his
father James Rhodes forced into a wagon
and driven to the the house of Frank San
ders on avenue S. There she was confined
in closely barred room for a week. She
was then removed to the house
OF James Rhodes, where during the day
she occupied a small room from which
escape was impossible. Each night
she was forced TO occupy a small cup
board from which the shelves had been
removed in order to make it
large enough for her to enter in this man
ner She was held a close prisoner for
over two months, her captors feeding her
on bread and bacon. Yesterday she
begged hard to be permitted to go
into the yard. Her self-appointed
jailers consented, and from the yard she
escaped, She came to the sheriff's Office
to-day to prefer additional charges against
her husband and against James Rhodes.

Caudace Rhodes, all of whom are now in

Special to the Gazette.
OZARK, Mo, Feb lin some parts of
the Ozark regions there are more rocks and
snakes than any other country on top OF
the earth. A species of black snake, rather
large, but not at all vicious, simply over
runs everything. A few days ago gentle
man had occasion to visit part of
this unfrequented region that is
hardly ever visited. He says that he
had never dreamed of the number of snakes
that he saw there. 1t was bright, warm
day, notwithstanding the fact that it was
midwinter. a few yards in front of him,
in little valley, there were thousands
upon thousands of snakes gathered They
We're divided into two bodies, and seemed
to be having some kind of q con-
test 1t looked like an election
more than anything else. At one end a
dozen or more extra large snakes were
gathered, cooled up with heads sticking up
and necks darting this way and that. In
front of them lay two enormous black
snakes stretched out to their utmost and
wriggling their tails as if to make
themselves larger. Finally one OF them
moved away as if defeated, and the other
Immediately coiled up, kissing as if in vic
tory. A moment later there came out of
the crowd of snakes another great big fell
low. He glided rapidly forward, and with
out any to do. lay down beside the other
snake, who had resumed his position
stretched out at length. Again and again
this took place, and after each snake had
come and gone the big fellow would coil up
and stick out his red tongue.
After an hour of this, the snakes of one
side all coiled up and Missed and Kissed
away, making a noise that might have been
heard block, and then the old snake that
had seemed to out-measure all the others
placed himself at the head of the column,
and away they went.
If snakes ever choose leader, the black
snakes of the Ozarks do by measurement,
and the traveller had witnessed one OF these
strange elections.
