LAREDO. Tex, Jan. A correspond
ent has succeeded in getting talk
with Garza, the revolutionist In speak
ing of the revolutionist movement,
Cara said:
"The impression prevails that and
my followers are simply an organized
band of border ruffians, seeking only to
CRAFTY personal ends. AS nothing can
be further from the truth rely on you
to do me justice.
Before | 90 further let me speak
briefly of the condition of affairs in
the Mexican states along the Rio
Grande and the southern line OF the
United States. In Nuevo Leon, Tam
aulipas, Coahuita and Chihuahua partic-
ularly, there has been a growing dis.
content at the misrule of Mexico.
President Diaz is Mexico.
"He is the government, sole and en-
tire The slightest opposition to his
will on the part of any minister or
other official is followed by instant
dismissal and disgrace, He does not
seem to care for the good OF the people
or the country so long as he may crafty
his own interests and vanity. During the
time he has occupied the chair Of Presi-
dent he has grown immensely wealthy.
He owns thousands of acres OF land,
and has millions of dollars laid by, not
only in Mexico, but in the vaults
of Europe, and there is hardly a
big corporation or monopoly in
Mexico that he does not own
stock in. In fact, the price Of mo-
nopoly in Mexico is block of stock in
the enterprise made out either in Diazs
name or that of a trusted lieutenant.
There is a system of religious persecu'
ton in Mexico which has gained him
the cordial hatred Of every good church
man and priest. The revolution which
is now in progress is of greater moment
than it is given credit for.
"Am the leader of the movement
"All 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 anC
we will accomplish our ends. No. car
not say what is my following, how
many men l have, or where the.
are stationed. This much l cal
say. The Mexican government know
our following is strong, and the brag
gadocio utterances of the Mexican gen
erals is only intended to keep up th
tagging courage of the half-starve'
soldiery, and when the crises comes, a
it will, before long, Diaz will find hi
forces short by few companies, Will
we, in turn will be richer by as man
men.
"For the present this is Catarin
CARA movement or revolution, as yo
please" said the pleasant-looking bar
dit, with smile.
For the present can say no more
but when the time does come that ca
give you fuller details Will be glad
do so. For the present this is only
popular movement, with no furthe
ends than have given you, at least nc
for publication.
This, however, would like to say
l have lived too long in the Unite
States and have too wholesome a fea
and regard for the government c
Washington to do any thing whic
might bear the semblance of Treason
The movement, which is characterize
as the CARA revolution, is aimed ;
the head of Diaz, and unless m
s knowledge of Mexico and Mexican
: is faulty, it will eventually result
g the downfall of the tyrant who is tn
= head of government now. My plan {
r campaign-it is success. just tn
S means propose to take to accomplis
a the desired result, can not describe
i. you. In the first place don't kno
e myself, and if did, l would be a poo
s general to make them known entir
: We mean to succeed That much yo
e may say for me. Adios."
