WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-After n CON-
su4tatlon the CALIFORNIA; have decided
thaI they VIII make some show of an at
tempt to capture the National Democratic
convention. Mr.. Tarpey of the Ma
tlonaI Committee thinks it would be
pity TO let the wine spoil, so there will be
another wine-drinking, smoking. fruit
eating campaign The Californians
could not get rooms at the Arlington
hotel, so they rented quarters in an
empty building across the street. and
aIIhough the rooms are ornamented with
1iags and gaily festooned, the place pre-
sents cherries aspect. The building
being empty, the halls ring and echo
with the footsteps Of the few that have
so far ventured into the cherries place.
a few Californians were found hugginp
very small fire and warming their
shlns' but talking grandly of their pros
poets. Representative McKenna was
down IN the early part of the evening,
and later Representative Loud sauntered
in.
When the busting, voluble, hopeful
Mr.. Iarpey came into the Headquarters a
ray of life and hope was infused into the
group. Mr.. Tarpey asserted stoutly.
I'VE are in it, boys; we are in it. What's
the matter with you? We will have as
many votes at first as any other CITY.
Maybe we might have as many as

But the Republicans only had eight

"Oh, the Republicans; who cares for
them? They were not in it, but we are. [
tell you. Cheer up! cheer upI" and the
wine went around.
But Notwithstanding the stimulants
dispensed at headquarters, it must be
reluctantly confessed that San Francisco
stands little or no chance to win the COR
vention. 1t is predicted that it will 90 to
Milwaukee.
The most confident cities in thesrace
tonight are undoubtedly Cincinnati and
Milwaukee. The delegation from Gin
clnnati is already speaking confidently of
the ultimate support of New York, while
the Milwaukee people are counting
finally on the votes Detroit may get on
the first ballot. New York and Detroit,
however, are not at all disposed to con-
cede the somewhat presumptive claims
OF their rivals as yet. There is talk
about the Cleveland and Hill advocates
taYoring certain cities. but those with au-
thority earnestly deny the statements,
and appear Indifferent as to the place OF
holding the convention. Notwithstand-
ing this, there is evident anxiety to know
where Hill, German and Brice want the
convention held.

LAREDO (Tex.), Jan. 20.-A correspond
ent took three days ride with a conf
dental friend of CARA, to the vicinity of
Garzas headquarters. He did not see
Cara, but had an interview with one of
his chief Lieutenants, who vehemently
denounced the charge that they were
bandits. They paid for everything they
nsed and were well supplied with the
sinews of war. Cara had, he said, over
1000 followers and adherents on this side
OF the river, and all the, people, as well as
half the army on the other side, were
with him.

enral Maybry returned tonight from the
Rio Grande region. He believes Cara is
in trouble because of the decentralization
and even the desertion Of some of his
men; that he will either surrender or be
captured within ten days.
Maybry visited GarZa'S wife and father
in-law and tried to assure them that it
was best for him to surrender, but they
appeared impressed with the idea that he
would fight. The fact that a great ma
jority of people near the Rio Grande,seem
sympathy with him is what makes it so
hard to catch him.
