MORE ABOUT GARZA'S REFOLU.
TION.
IT SEEMS TO BE NEARLY OVER.
SAN DIEGO, Tex, Jan. 25, 1885,

AuJ OF IoXaS, seen Dy the
writer at the Martinez Hotel here, a
few days ago, having been sent here by
the Governor of Texas, has this to say
of the Garza's Revolutions: That it is
nearing an end. His forces are badly
scattered and worse demoralized. Gen.
Mabry visited Garza's home at Palito
Blanco, Is miles southeast of here in
Nueces county, and was treated nicely,
he says, by Garza's father-in-law. Alex
ander Gonzales, and Garza's pretty
wife, who, he says, is ladylike wo-
man, and very proud of her husband.
The General saw nothing of Cara, but
thinks the rangers are close on his
trail. That Cara was in Corpus
Christi the past week, his mission be-
ing to consult a certain law firm. The
name of the law firm, the General said,
he was not at liberty to make public,
and he is certain Cara is getting tired
of his war, since his
MEN COMMENCED DESERVING
him. He, Cara, is losing heart, and
has only few faithful followers with
him. That Cara and his men, if cor
ned by our rangers, which they will
soon be, the General said, would fight
to the death. The General further

of the Chicago Tribune, who has beer
interest of his paper, and will make q
complete and accurate write-up of the
section in which Cara claims is hi

Plangue of Corpus Christi with his

one of the French soldiers of Mexican
warfare-coming to Mexico in 1862 anc

Texas in 1866, and is not only a fine

the proper pitch, he will have arrang

camp, &C., some 20 or % in all, which
Mr.. Clark will send to the Chicago Iri-
bune, and which will come out in that
paper in special edition. Don Louis
met Garza's family while at Palitc
Blanco, and spent the night under the
roof of his father-in-law's hOspitable
house, and says he was treated with
the greatest kindness and courtesy.
Don Louis don't think Cara is in that
country or in Texas, but believes he is
on the other side of the Rio Grande,
and that this is only a lull in the storm
that, as soon as Spring opens and grass
grows, Garza's army, which he is
NOW FORMING
on the Mexican side, will waken up
things more than ever. A gentleman
from Goliad county, who, having just
returned from Pelito Blanco, gives the
following as to the Cara revolution.
Mr.. Gonzales, the father-in-law OF
Cara, is an honorable gentleman, and
while he may sympathize with his
son-in-law's cause, did not approve OF
Garza's actions. He did all in his pow,
er to dissuade Cara from it, but Cara
was bent on carrying out the one ambi-
ton of his lifo-''The release of Mexico
from the tyranny of Diaz''-as he calls
it; and the pleadings of Gonzales aad
his family were in vain. The gentle
man, Mr.. Cole, thinks, like Don Louis
de Plangue, that Cara is now in Mexi
co laying his plans, and believes the
time is near at hand when Mexico will
be in the throes of revolution that
will give her trouble
FROM CENTRE TO CIRCUMFERENCE,
that Gurza has no anlmOsity towards
the United States, but on the Other
hands has the greatest friendship fol
this country, and Mr.. Cole says he
knows that Cara has issued an order
to his men in Texas not to fire ON the
trosps of the United States under any
circumstances whatever, and that any
violation of this order will be punished
with death
THE FIGHT
he had with the United States al Rem
Gln6I, anu QUIET SklTu1lSIl0S were, llht
the fight, mistake on Garza's part, OF
men who mistook the U. s. troops in
the dark for the troops of the brutal
Garcia, whom they had supposed haG
crossed the Rio Grande River to this
side, and had the U. S. soldiers answer
ed their "Quien oiue ?" they would
have broken for the bushes instead OF
firing on the soldiers. AS soon as they
discovered their error, they broke fol
the brush simply because they had nc
desire to either fight or kill any of the
Americans. Mexico is
RIPE FOR REVOLUTION,
and Cara has many able lieutenants
who are working for him. Where he
gets his mouey is hard to tell, but one
thing is certain, he has money an6
plenty of it too. Captain Chase, with
his company of the U. S. soldiers, il
still at Palito Blanco, and visits Senol
Gonzales residence almost daily, anC
is cordially received by the Senor, anC
his excellent wife and Sonora Cara.
Everything here so far is in Stdtu quo
and will remain so, we think, until the
hard spell of weather. which is upoI
us, is over. The writer saw the firs1
