LAREDO, Tex, Special Telegram, Jan. e.
An interview was secured to-day with
Catarino Cara, the leader Of the revolution
on<the Mexican border. He consented to
talk on the condition that the exact place
where the interview was held should not be
made public. It can only be stated that
the meeting between the correspondent and
the revolutionist took place about days
horseback ride from his home. which is
few miles northwest Of Las Cueras. in Starr
county, six or eight miles from the Rio
Grande river.
Cara looks more like an American than
a Mexic&a, but his complexion is very dark
and his hair and mustache are black. He
speaks very good English, having attended
school at Brownsville, Tex.
have been newspaper man nearly all
my life, Capt. Cara said. IT know the
place newspapers hold IN public affairs, and
in seeing you / simply crafty the desire to
have myself placed right before the people
ofthe United States. The impression pre-
walls that and my followers are simply an
organized band OF border rufians, seeking
only to crafty personal ends. AS nothing
can be further from truth, rely on you to

see and talk to you.
Let me speak briefly Of the condition of
affairs in the Mexican states along the Rio
Grande and the SO uthern line of the United
States. In Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, Goa
hula and chihuahua particularly there has
been a growing discomfort at the misrule of
Mexico. President Diaz is Mexico. He is
the governm ent sole and entire. The slight
rs So I r. ofo
minister or other official is followed by in
slant dismissal and disgrace. He does not
seem to care tor the good of the people
or the country SO long as he may
crafty his own interests and vanity. Dur
ing the time he has occupied the chair of
president he has grown immensely wealthy.
He owns thousands of acres of land, mill
ions OF dollars laid by, not only in Mexico
but in the vaults of Europe, and there is
hardly big corporation or monopoly in
Mexico that he does not own stock in. In
fact the price of a monopoly in Mexico lisa
block of stock in the enterprise, made out
either in Diazs name or that OF a trusted
lieutenant.
There is system of religious persecu-
ton in Mexico which has gained him the
cordial hatred Of every good churchman
and priest.
''The revolution which now is in pro-
gress is of greater moment than it is given
credit for Am | the leader o: the move
ment? Well. all I can say is that am in
perfect sympathy with those who do head
the movement whoever they may be. We
are strong in followers and money, and we
will accomplish our ends. No, I cannot
say what is my following, how many men
] have, or where they are stationed This
much I can say. The Mexican govern
ment knows our following is strong, and
3 the braggadocio utteranceS Of the Mexican
generals is only intended to keep up the
tagging courage of the hal!-staryed sol
dlery, and when the crisis comes, as
it will before long Diaz will find
all his forces are short by few companies,
while We, in turn. will be richer by as
many men,
Capt CARA, it is claimed that the cler-
ical party is behind your movement and
that your funds come from the church. Is
thattrue?"
'sFor the present this is a Catarino CARA
movement, or revolution. as you please, J"
SAID the pleasant looking bandit with a
smile. For the present l can say n more,
but when the time does come that can give
you fuller details will be glad to do so.
For the present this is only popular
movement, with no further ends than
have given you, at least not or publica-
ton.
This however, would like you to say:
I have lived too long in the United States,
and have too wholesome fear and regard
Tor the government at Washington, to do
anything which might bear the se1nblance
of treason. The movement which is char
acterized as the Cara revolution is aimed
at the head Of Diaz and unless my knowl-
edge of Mexico and Mexicans is faulty it
will eventually result in the downfall of
the tyrant who is the head Of government
now.
MY plan o. cam paicn? 1t is success.
Just the means propose to accomplish the
desired result cannot describe to you. In
the first place, l don't know myself, and il
did I would be a poor general TO make
then, known entire. We mean to succeed.
That much you may say Tor me. Adios."
And Capt. Cara mounted his mustang
| and disappeared behind the cump OF
| bushes.
