Special to THE MoRNINs CALL

LAREDO Tex Feb. "A correspondent,
who has been travelling through Northern
Mexico, said he found small detachments of
men who, at a given signal, will unite at
some designated spot on the Mexican side
of the Rio Grande and join Garza's standard.
In the meantime they are at work among
the ranchmen and their friends. The cor
respondent adds: Speaking Of one Of
their leaders, man higher than Cara, he
told me the grievance of the Tevolutionists
is not so much against President DiaZ as
against men he placed in power, and
they hold that Diaz is responsible for his
subordinates' acts. They have plenty Of
money and know where they can get more
when they need it. They are not backed by
any one party in Mexico, but have good
friends among all who will fight to the bitter
end to secure reforms in the administra-
tiOn-the same reforms for which Diaz and
his party fought, and which. after obtaining,
they abandoned. They count on the gen.
eral bad state of business and the failure of
the crops to aid their cause, and say that if
they pursue no operations now it will only
break out anew in the spring, when their
agents will have convinced the United
States of the necessity OF remaining neutral,
as they want to be on good terms with that
country.
The rebels also claim that at the proper
time prominent leaders will come to the
front Money for the rebels is evidently
coming from ring" undoubtedly the
cattle barOnS and mining kings of Northern
Mexico, whose headquarters are in New
\ ork and Washington, and some Of whose
members are prominent in politics and
finances in the United States. The bands
the correspondent saw were well armed.
They say their next attack will be on the
large cities Of Mexico.
When asked what they thought OF the
American troops trying to stop them they
said they are deluded by Diaz' agents,
who have deceived the American Govern
ment, the press and the people. The mill
taTy have no heart in this work in favor OF
Diaz. They said: Does il not seem
strange that all the United States soldiers
now here have so far been unable to catch
Cara, knowing him 10 be within ten or
twelve miles from them?"
Many prominent Tanchmen expressed
wishes for the success of the revolution,
which, they said, must come. The business
of the whole country they say, is at stand
still Prices OF prime articles Of food have
risen 50 high as to entail great suffering on
the poorer classes, who, while not starving.
still are suffering greatly. The people Of
Durango Will be the next to move.
