Revolutionary Movement.
LAREDO. TEX, Feb. 2.-Advices from
the city Of Puebla, the capital of the state
Of Puebla, seventy-six miles south-
east of the City Of Mexico,
say that a financial and commercial
crisis prevails there aud many business
houses have closed their doors. Much dis
satisfaction is expressed with the local and
federal authorities.
The clerical party, which is In a large ma
jority in Puebla, are still sore over the late
attempt to drive the monks from their clois-
ters, and it is said that il the bishop bad not
advocated prudence the people would have
risen en- masse and overpowered the troops
and authorities. 1t is an undoubted fact
that If ever a revolution starts In Puebla
the people will join it.
ENTERPRISE DORMANT.
1t is a known fact that many foreign en-
terprises are at standstill. and not few
foreigners are trying to sell out and leave
the country, fearing for their safety az we'll
as their property The attempts that are
made to deny that Mexico is in bad straits
are made by people who are not trying so
much co defend the country as to protect
the value Of their investments. There is
lieved in Puebla that CARA is
the man TO head one. but no frontier news
Ia published in Puebla newspapers, their
owners not daring 10 antagonize the
government A correspondent who has
been travelling through Northern Mexico
says that he found small detnchments OF
men, who, at given signal, will unite at
some designated spot on the Mexican side
Of the Rio Bravo, and join the Cara
standard. In the meantime they are at
work among the rauchmen, who are their
friends
GRIEVANCE OF THE REvoLUTIoNIsTs.
The correspondent adds: "Speaking to
one OF their leaders, a man higher than
Cara, he told me that the grievance of the
revolutionists is not so much against Presi-
dent Diaz as against the men he has placed
in power like Cara Calau, governor of
Coahuila, and others Of his stamp The
revolutionists hold President Diaz RESPONSE
BILE for the acts of his subordinates.
They will await their time. They have plenty
Of money and know where they can get
moro when they need it, They are not
backed by any one party IN Mexico, but
have good friends among all parties and
will fight to the bitter end to secure
retorms-the same reforms for which Presi-
dent Diaz and his party fought, and which
after obtaining they abandoned. They
count on the general bad state of business
and the failure OF the crops to aid their
cause, and they say if they pursue
no operations now it will only
break out anew in the spring, when their
agents will have convinced the United
States government of the necessity OF re-
naming neutral, as they want TO be on good
terms with that country. Asked IL they
counted on money and aid from Americans
they would not speak.
AGENTS IN EVERY CITY.
HE said, the revolutionists have agents
in every city OF Importance in Mexico
working for the cause, and in every Mexican
military body creating dissatisfaction; and,
he added. President Diaz did not succeed In
his first revolutionary attempt. either The
revolutionists, he said, are determined to
try again. Many of the frontier people
who are considered loyal to the government
and even some who are holding office are
waiting to ses IL there is the least turn in
the tide against President Dnz TO
abandon him. Many would have done
so ere this had not the United States
interfered in favor of President Diaz. The
feeling on the frontier is antiDiaz, though
in the opinion of the correspondent, be is
too strong in power TO be upset. The rebels
also claim that at the proper time promi-
Dent leaders will come to the
front. When asked whether these
leaders would be Gonzales or
Trevino, they laughed, and said that the
former is making too much money as satrap
of GuanaiuaJo and under the influence OF
President Diaz, and the second that his
blood turned to milk when he married La
Gringa,' Gen. Ord's daughter. They added
that they had ADLER, better aud Drawer men.
WHERE THEIR MONEY COMES FROM.
1.-THE money of the rebels is evidently COM
ing from ring undoubtedly composed Of
cattle barons and mining kings Of Northern
Mexico, whose headquarters are in New
York and Washington, and some Of those
members are prominent In politics and
finance in the United States" All the bands
the correspondent saw were we'll armed,
with an abundance Of ammunition, but
poorly mounted. Whom asked about horses,
they said "HorseS would bother us lust
now, but he have herds to supply us and
when the time comes we will be we'll mounted
AMI our next attack will be on the large
cities of Mexico" When asked what they
thought Of American troops trying to stop
them they said: They are deluded by
President Diaz's agents, who have deceived
the American government, the press and
people. The military have no heart in this
work in favor of President Dlsz" They
added: docs 1t not seem strange 10 you
that all the United States soldiers
hero have so far been un~
able TO catch Cara, knowing
him to be within ten or twelve miles from
theml" Many prominent ranchmen ex-
pressed wishes for the success Of the revolu-
ton, which, they say. must come, aud when
shown the strength Of tho present president
the answer was generally a shrug Of the
shoulders and "Who knowsa 1t Ia better to
die fighting than starving"
DIAZ LOVES BLOOD.
1t may safely be said that the greatest
dissatisfaction exists against President
Diaz, who only rules through the fear of
personal violence the people entertain to-
ward him, for President Diaz is known 10
love blood.
The business of the whole country is at
standstill. The prices Of prime articles of
food have risen SO high as TO entail great
suffering on the poorer classes who, while
not starving, for these people live on little
or nothing) still are suffering greatly. The
people Of Durango will be the next to move,
and President Diaz and his companions are
guarding the dams on the river Nazas, to
prevent the people from destroying them
These dams hold the water at the disposal
OF the Clahualiols company, of which Pres
ident DiRz is president, and have made
thousands of acres Of land useless, and as
these lands belong to the poor, they are in-
dignAnt, and sooner or later will RISE rhe
government is moving troops to the dissat-
isfied districts, aud Migrants from all the
larger cities are being sent TO the barracks
