CARA WRITES re GARRISON
He Publishes copy of His Letter in 8
Spanish Newspaper.

SAN ANTONIO, Feb. "a sensation
was created among the Mexican popula-
ton and in military circles here by the
publication of letter addressed to the
Hon. Benjamin Harrifon. president Of
Che United States, from Catarini Cara,
the revolutionary leader, in Fl Chinaco.
the leading Spanish newspaper Of this
city. The letter is dated La Sierrieta,
state of Tamaulapas. Mexico, Jan. 81.
1892.
In his preliminary remarks to the ed
itor Cara states that he mas forwarded
President Harrison the letter. but that
he fears that the latter viii not make it
public and as he desires to have his posi-
ton and action towards the United
States clearly understood, he decided to
send copy of the letter to FL Chinaco
for publication.
The letter Is for the most part an
attack ON the Mexican government and
particularly President Diaz. He offers
strong objection to being charged with
violating the neutrality of the United
States, and defends his action as fol-
lows:
Being a resident of Texas when l
decided to raise the banne2 of insurrec-
ton IL my beloved country, Mexico, it
was not natural, logical and inevitable
that | should travel. be it alone or ac-
companled, through your territory in
order to reach Mexico.
THAT such action has absolutely moth.
ing to do with the so called neutrality
laws Is generally conceded by public IN
ternational and political right but sup
pose that | had effected march at that
time in the direction or towards Mexi-
can territory with two or more of my
countrymen, does that constitute an of
Tense against the laws? | don't believe
it does because l know the basis of the
wise and liberal legislation of your
country"
CARA continues in this strain
throughout his whole letter. He gives
no news concerning the progress of the
movement of which he is at the head.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. AT the office
of the Delaware and Hudson Coal com
pany it was said by one of the officers OF
the company that nothing was known
by him of the alleged coal combination.
He thought it would be good thing if
it could be carried cut, but it was old
and utopian. Thomas P. Fowler, presi.
dent of the New York, Ontario and
Western railway, said he knew nothing
on the subject, and referred to the gen
eral manager, Mr.. Childs, who said nc
proposition had been made to his com
pany. At the office of F. A. Potts &
Co., large coal dealers, it was said that
something was probably going on, but
the idea of individual operators being
eliminated was ridiculed.
