In Impending Revolution AGAINST The DiaZ
Government

New YORK, Feb. 15.-Wrting from Mon
terey, Mexico. the Herald correspondent
says: Mexico is just now apparently on the
verge Of a revolution or civil war. 1t is true
the CARA affair appears to be but iaScO,
but there is a great power behind Ii, aud
one, too, which has not yet been definitely
sscertained. II is said Sandoval, CARA and
8 third person cOncOcted the scheme for car
Tying out revolution, and they are said TO
be backed financially by the church. Cara
led the forces, which consisted Of 800 men.
These men, under an eX eTienced leader,
would have been sufficient to capture every
city on the border. Thousands, including
half the army, would have fi0cked to his
standard. Instead Of making bold stroke,
Cara diliy-dallled until he was hemmed in
on the Mexican side, and was being pur-
sued by troops on the American side. After
four months Of this kind of warfare he con-
cluded, at least temporarily, to suspend
operations uaul spring BY that time II IS
expected hOstllitleS Will begin in tne interior.
and thus when the troops on the border are
recalled, at the head Of 1000 men he can
cross over and Join forces with tie rey0lu-
tiOnaTy army. Every pressure will be
brought TO bear with General TTeylnO,
General GOHZ1les or Cara to take control,
and 20 announce themselves as candidates
for the Presidency against Dlaz.
TUE COUNTRY UNSETTLED.
