ST. LOUIS, Jan. 5.-A special to the
Republican from Rio Grande City says:
Corporal Rute, Troop A, Third cavalry,
was shot by picket of his own company
at Salieno. few days ago. He was
brought to Ringgold, died yesterday and
was buried today.
Several revolutionary prisoners,
guarded by detachment of soldiers
and three deputy marshals, left here for
Brownsville yesterday for trial by the
federal court, now in session there. A few
hours after their departure dispatch
was received from Sheriff CIosner, of
Edinburg, to the post commander, say
ing it was reported that band of
mounted Mexicans were en- route to
rescue the prisoners. Troop @, Third
cavalry, and Captain McNiel's company
of rangers were in the saddle in a few
minutes, with an understanding with
Sheriff Closner that they were to attack
Havana at daylight. The sheriff left
Edinburg with posse of fifteen. This
morning news was received from Hav-
ana as follows:
ga little after davbr this morning
Capt. Mckay with G troop, went in to aya
pasture, at the lower end. Captain
Mcneil, with his company went through
the middle. Three revolutionists were
chased up by the Rangers, but escaped.

saddles and brides, but the owners had
just left. Captain Mckay and
Captain Mcneil have already
caught over seven horses, including
government horse, lost at the Retinal
fight, and two saddles. Several of the
revolutionists crossed the river during
the night, in such haste that they left
horse stuck in the mud and saddle on

Lieut.. Thomas Cara, arrested BIZ
Deputy Marshal Benada before. It'd
| Retinal fight, ard who escaped during
! the skirmish, came in and surrendered
this morning. The revolutionists are
badly scattered, and everything is COM
| paratively quiet.
| LAREDO, Tex, Jan. 5.-Startling de-
velopments regarding the CARA revolu-
tion are coming in. Papers found in
the saddlebags of Pablo Munose, one of
the captured revolutionists, show that
| Monies de Oca, bishop of Monterey, is
| financial agent of the Clerical party in
| supplying Cara with funds. The state
in which the bishop was first located
| passed law that all parties marrying
must first secure license from the civil
authorities. This was followed by law
prohibiting church professions, except
| by permission OF the government. These
laws were disputed by the bishop and
he was fined by General Reyes, governor
| of the province, who told him if the
bishops did not obey the laws he would
destroy the church. This created
bitter feeling, and Oca was transferred
| to Monterey. In February Cara
published an article in which he
charged that the murder of General
Martinez was committed at the in
stance of President Diaz, through Gen
eral Reyes, who employed the assasslns.
For this statement warrant for
Garza's arrest was issued, and this was
the starting point of the revolution.
Later disclosures show that the clerical
party and the Iturbides, or the follow
ers of Prince Iturbide, who is Diaz's op.
ponent for the presidency, are one and
the same, and that Cara is supported
by them.
CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-An Ell Paso, Texas,
| special dispatch reads: Just learned
that the leaders in the present revolu-
tion on the lower frontier have been
working in this neighborhood for re-
cruits since last June. 1t is also learned
that the headquarters OF the revolution
| lists are situated at New Orleans, but
their removal to Ell Paso is contem-
plated, as this place will afford a
better place of operations. The Mexican
! revolution is backed by large amount
Of money, and as soon as foothold is
obtained in Mexico, the revolution will
begin in earnest. The idea OF those
backing the movement is to cut off that
portion of Mexico north of line ex-
tending from Tuxpan, on the gulf of
Mexico, to Mazatlan, on the Pacific
ocean, and declare republic under the
i constitution as prOmul lgated in 1857
