lished the letter, as be was sick and
tired reading these false reports thai
have been published about a revolu'
ton being going on in Mexico.
Mr.. w. ii. Mealy, train dispatcher,
who was present, expressed himself
the same way.
Prof. William G. Levin, after read
ing Edmond's letter in the LIGHT, en-
dorsed all of it, and said that he
would translate it and have 1t pub

Mexico.
Dr. .C. c. Hill, one of the Mler
prisoners, and who drew the black
bean, but whose lie was saved by
Santa Anna ON account OF his youth,
after reading the Monterey letter in
the LIGHT, stated that he endorsed
every word of it. There was not q
word in IL but what was as true as
the gospel. Why, there is no such a
thing as revolution against Presi-
dent Diaz. Every body in Mexico
loves HIM. 1 am 80 glad that the
LIGHT has published that letter.
There is no falsehood bout 1t.
Mr.. ]. w. Starrett, a manufacturer
of Athol, Mass, and J. w. Malloy, OF
Chicago, were in the city last week.
While on their way to Texas they
read about the bloody revolution that
was going on on the border ana IN
Mexico. But when they reached La
redo they found that the only revolu-
ton that was going on was that con-

was a lot of them laying around La
redo drunk, sending off 10 their papers
infamous lies. Such reports as they
sent are digrace to the American
press.
Major Jules A. Randle, of this city,
alter reading E1mund's letter turned
around to his desk and wrote the fol-
owing, which he handed us to put in
our letter:
The outrageous falsehoods tibet have
heen published throughout the Uni
ted States concerning the bandit and
outlaw, Cara, has done more injury
to Mexico and to the American indus
tries than anything known in twenty
five years. Millions of dollars has
been kept away from Mexico by these
false reports, and thousand OF visitors,
many that L know personally; came
as far as San Antonio and while there
heard of the blood and thunder on the
border and they turned back.
Instead of some OF our American
papers hunting for honest news they
took the reports of the most reckless
character and published what they
knew to be- lies when they telegraphed
1t to them.
This country should have damages
in some way for such intamy. If
there was any cause for all this We,
who live here and have invested mil
lions of dollars in Mexico, would know
the situation and be ready to state
the facts.
The border on both sides of the

more to civilize and correct the pres

course, with universal extradition
treaty. Surrender the criminals and
let the United States and Mexico noti-
fy them that they cannot find homes
or protection in either country.
Both governments have spent
enough money in trying to capture
Cara as il would 10 build the above
roads. With such roads on the bor-
der it would be impossible for CARA
or any other bandit to get twenty
five or fifty men together without be-
ing discovered and captured in day
or two with very little expense to
both governments.
While interviewing the Americans,
many OF them did not hesitate to say
that the San Antonio Express has
done more harm to American enter
prise in Mexico than all the papers
that are published in Texas. 1t pub
Iished more falsehGods about Mexico,
than all OF them com bined.
1t told them that DiaZ was casting
the priests into prison and closing
tine churches because they were sup
porting CARA and that in the spring
there would be general uprising
against Diaz.
Many of the Americans think that
the same party that started Sandoval
and Cara out are paying the Express
for publishing those false reports-in
Eng lish and Spanish, so as to excite
the ignorant Mexicans, and that 1t is
In full accord with GAIA and his band
Of outlaws.
They thinkssthat the Mexican gov
eminent should take steps to prevent
the circulation of the Express In Mex
leo, and that the United States should
cooperate with them, and not allow 1t
to be carried through the mail until
they quit publishing such falsehoods.
If Presidents Diaz and Harrison
would do so, they would soon put
