daily sent out from the Rl0 Grande oy the
so-called wal correspondents, in reference
to their Cara revolution against Presi-
lent DiaZ are outrageous. and they should
be suppressed. II the United States gov
eminent, or the state of Texas, cannot
succeed in driving out said wal CORE
spondents who are carrying on his news
paper revolution, then the government Of
Mexico should take the matter into their
own hands, and treat them in the same
manner as the United States government
did with the Louisiana lottery swindle,
arrest and prosecute every one OF them,
stop the circulation and sale of
the papers in Mexico; refuse to carry
them through the mail until they elimi-
nate all those internal lies from the col
umns of their papers. This Is a duty that
President Diaz owes to himself, his gov.
eminent and his people. lie should take
steps at once to stamp out this damnable
per revolution which is being car-
ried on on the Texas side of the Rio
Grande. 20 the detriment OF the best in
terests of this country.
There is no revolution, mol is there a
revolutionary party in Mexico against
President Profrio DiaZ or his adminiStra-
ton. President Diaz was never more
solid with the people than he is at present.
He has been tried aud trusted by them,
and he has been found faithful to every
trust imposed on him. He gave Mexico
the best government she ever had. There
have been more miles of railroad built,
more mines opened, more factories,
smelters and electric lights established
and public improvements i~naugurated
since he was elected in 1875 than had been
inaugurated since Columbus discovered
America.
AS the socalled wal correspondents
could not find or name one prominent
man in Mexico who is hostile to President
Diaz, Their they pitched upon the bishops
and priests of the Catholic church as
being the men that were furnishing
Cara with the money to carry on the
revolution against Diaz. No sooner was
hal lie denied than the festive CORES
pondents tried TO cover up their false re-
ports by saying, "as bishops and priests,
they would not do it, but as private citi-
Zens they were furnishing Cara money.
There was not anything 10 prevent them
from doing So" That is a gross SANDER
against the Catholic bishops and priests
of Mexico. They are gentlemen, and not
capable OF STOPPING to such ~disreputable
pratice. Gentlemen would not make such
grave charges against an honorable body
of men-men whose Shoe-strings they are
not worthy to unite.
If the United States does not put a stop
to the newspaper revolution that is being
carried on against this government in
Texas, the governor OF the state should
take the matter in hand n arrest every
one of the socalled war correspondents.
They are doing Texas more harm then
they are Mexico. They will keep immi-
grafton out OF Southwest Texas and will
put her back twenty years.
This newspaper revolution is detrimen-
tai to American enterprise in Mexico.
They feel it more than any other class of
people here. A few days ago we called at
the general office of the Monte
rey and Mexican Gulf railway, where
we met Col. j.. A.. Robertson, the
general manager of the road. before
leaving he told us to say as coming
from him, that there was not a d-n
word of truth in the reports have been
sent out from Mexico and the Rio Grande
that a revolution has been going on in this
country against President Diaz. Such re-
ports are doing us great injury and they
should be stopped. Do you suppose for
one minute that our people would keep
building railroads in Mexico If there was
any sign Of a revolution going to break
out? No. Inside of sixty days we expect
to commence work on the extension OF
the Gulf road from Trevino station on
the Mexican international to the Sierra
Mojada. We are now loading 4 steamers
at Tampico. the India, Architect Explorer
the Beach Dene, with silver lead ores.
Ixtle, copper and Mexican products, some
of which are destined for Antwerp, Ham
burg and Liverpool. Those ships crossed
the bar drawing 161@ feet water. We are
moving into our new Office this week.
We are building smelters; factories; ma.
chine shops; opening mines and develop
ing the country. That is the kind of a
revolution that is going on here. PreSi-
lent Diaz is friendly towards us, and we
are going TO stand by him. Good bye,
call again. The readers of the LIGHT
will see from the above interview with
Colonel Robertson what he thinks about
the newspaper revolution. In this con-
nection, Edmond was the first and only
newspaper correspondent that denied the
existence of a revolution in Mexico
against President DiaZ.
Last week the Gugginhein Sons start
ed the fires in their furnaces, but as they
are short OF flux!Dg ores they will not he
prepared to start the six furnaces before
the first of February.
There were a number of miners in the
city the past week and considerable ores
changed hands. Tit smelters are buying
all the ores that are offered. There was
a large mining company organized here a
few nights ago. We will have something
to say about them in our next letter from
here.
A NEW SMELLING COMPANY.
The Mexican Smelling and Refining
company has been incorporated at Tope-
ka, Kansas, with a capital of ~Sl0,OO0,OOO,
for the purpose of establishing smelters
and Iefineries at Monterey, Mexico. and
also at Topeka and Pueblo, Colorado.
HE MAY BE SHOT
OColonel N. Hernandez who was in
charge of the Mexican troops stationed
at Mier when CARA crossed into Mexico
last fall, and who was put under arrest
on account OF allowing Cara to escape,
and subsequently sent to this city as a
prisoner, was tried yesterday by court
martial and found guilty as being in
sympathy with Cara and sentenced to
De shot. He took an appeal to the
supreme court, but it is doubtful If the
