A BLOODY BATTLE.
TEN OF GARZHs REv0LUTI0NIsTs

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, May l2.-The
Cara revolution has broken out
afresh, and this time the outlook ID
more serious than during the distur-
bance along the lower Rio Grande
border a few months ago. 1t is indi-
Gated by the following telegram re-
ceived today by DR.. Puntario Ornelas,
Mexican consul at this place, from
General Lorenza Garcia, commander
of the troops in the field in the north
ern zone of Mexico, with headquar-
tiers at Mier, in the state of Tawau-
lipas. Lieutenant Indalecio Pada,
commanding a detachment of cavalry
yesterday morning at IL o'clock met
and had an engagement with a party
of Garza's revolutionists at a place
called Lameca, in this state.
After hard fought battle the gov
eminent troops won victory over the
invaders, killing ten of the latter.
Among those killed were Juan Flores
and Abelardo Dominguez alias Guar
terson. On the government side there
was one soldier and three horses
killed. The troops are in close pursuit
of the remnants of the band. This
band crossed the Rio Grande river to
Mexican territory on May 10 at about
- 81 ID
Julien Flores, one of the revolution
lists killed, was first lieutenant in
Garza's so-called army and was under
indictment in the Federal court on
several charges of violating the Unit
ed States neutrality laws. He has
been next to Cara in leading this
revolutionary movement and in fact
it has been generally believed that he
really did most of the planning for the
movement. He had been a political
refuge from Mexico for several years,
and was a daring and brave man. He
owns a ranch of several thousand
acres in Starr county, where he made
his home up to the time of the out
break of the troublesome border war
a few months ago. Since then he has
lived in the saddle. He has been
badly wanted, but was successful in
evading the numerous United States
troops and scouting parties. 1t is es-
timated that he was surrounded by
about 175 desperate men.
DR.. Ornelas is of the opinion that
this fight will end the so-called revo-
luton, and those who were not killed
in the battle will be captured and
summarily dealt with by the govern
mant

Cuero Bulletin
There is one official of the present
administration who merits and we
hope will receive denomination by
the state Democratic convention-the
Hon. j. d. Mccall. The affairs of his
office have been conducted with the,
most business-like accuracy and I'M

the state. BY all means let us replace
Mccall in the office of comptroller of
public accounts-"the right man in

state committee. Officers and com
mittees selected at a meeting of the
state committee last night were elect

clamation. Olivey, of Weare, presi.
dent, was escorted to the chair
and briefly addressed the convention.
A motion was made to proceed to

balloting was proceeded with. 1t re-
suited in nearly unanimous election.
Harry Bingham of Littleton, Frank

The platform adopted approves a
system of taxation adjusted
to produce the necessary reve-
nue. for legitimate requirements of
an honest government economically
administered, with the least possible
burden upon the people, and affording
such incidental protection as meets
every reasonable demand of American
labor; denounces protective system
and the Mckinley bill; approves of
currency sufficient in volume for the
proper demands of business, but pre-
senting no device which can be ma
nipulated to the advantage of any in
dividual or class at the expense of any
other currency whose every dollar is
equal in value to every other; recog-
nizes in Grover Cleveland great
leader in tariff reform, who, with an
energy that never failed, led the way
through reverses in 1888 to overwhel-
ming victory in 1890, and under whose
continued leadership there will be
achieved browning triumph in 1892

A Happy Marriage-Crops in Good Con-
dition-Politics Getting Hot.
Special to The Statesman.
MANOR, May12.-Last evening at
the residence OF the BRIDES parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. J. G.. Harris, in this
place, Miss Sallie Harris was married
to Mr.. John Fl. Willis of Virginia.
Only the immediate family and near
relatives and friends witnessed the
ceremony, but it is needless to say the
happy young couple carry with them
to their far-away eastern home the
best wishes of the entire community.
The bride is of an old Virginia family
long resident in this state, and it is
but natural that her affections should
have been won by the COON, prOmi-
nent merchant of that state.
Our village is having quite a round
of entertainment, last Friday even
ing having witnessed the closing ex-
ercises of the schools, and the COM
ing Friday, the 18th, will witness a
dramatic entertainment given in the
Christian church by the members of
the P. /. E. Club for the benefit of the
firemen's hall building fund. 1t is
hoped number will signify their in
terest in both causes by attending.
Next week the young people will
give musical entertainment, the
proceeds of which will go to the
drouth-stricken people along the Rio
Grande.
Our farmers are too busy just now
to come to town often, but those seen
on the streets and on their farms re-
port the outlook very encouraging.
The recent rains came in time to ben
eft oats very materially, besides do
ing inestimable good to the corn, cot
ton, and especially the gardens and
pastures. Crops are remark
ably clean, and that, too,
at very small cost compared
with former years. 1t is safe to pre-
dict that with favorable weather a
larger crop of food products will be

IOWA DEMOCRATS.
In State Convention at Council Bluffs-An
Enthusiastic Gathering.


COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, May 1.-THE
largest Democratic convention in the
history of the state of Iowa assembled
in this city this forenoon. Every
county in the state was represented
and over 100 delegates were present.
Promptly at 1870 o'clock Chairman
Chas. ID. Fulton of the state central
committee called the convention to
order and prayer was offered up for
Democratic success by Rev. E. J. Bah
cock of Pottawatomie.
Chairman Fulton announced that
the state central committee had Sc
lected the following as tempo
rary officers: Chairman, Hon. John
G. Bills; secretary, Frank Watson.
There was a scene of enthusiasm as
Temporary Chairman Bills stepped to
the front. He has been familiar in
political battles in Iowa for many
years, and until few years ago was
a Republican, being, however, q con-
vert to Democracy in the battle for
tariff reform and the fight against the
prohibition laws. Immediately after
Chairman Bills assumed the chair
and after the announcement of men,
bers of various committees the con-
vention took recess.
On reassembling of the convention
Hon. J. e. Markley of Mason City was
made chairman.
After speech by Chairman Mark
ley, J. H. Shields, l.. M. Martin, Ed
ward Campbell, Jr., and J. F. Dun
combe were chosen delegates at large
to Chicago. Resolutions were adopted
re-affirming devotion to Democratic
traditions and principles; declaring
against trusts; demanding free raw
materials and free admission of ne
cessities of life and tariff for necessary
revenue only; favors equal bi-metallic
coinage, and extols the administration
of Gov. Boies and instructs the Iowa
delegates for him.

RESULT OF A CAMPAIGN LIE.

II will be well remembered that the
.,British gold' fake was worked for all
II was worth by the Republicans in the
late campaign-an international news
agency even being dragOoned into serv-
ice. which cabled near the close Of the
campaign dispatch, which was fur
nished TO every Republican organ to the
effect that a campaign corruption fund
had been subscribed to by English
manufacturers for the purpose OF aid
ine in purchasing the election OF GRO
YER CLEVELAND and Democratic
Congress. 1t was asserted that the sum
amounted to between a quarter million
and half million dollars. The report
laid Mr.. f. II. VAN INGEN, Of the New
York WOODEN firm of VAN INGEN q Co.,
was at the head OF the movement. Ac-
cording TO the story news agency rep
resentative, assuming the character of
member of German firm of bottle
manufacturers, called at Mr..
VAN INGENs office and desired
to leave some money as con-
tribution from his frm to Mr.. VAN IN
GEMS election fund. Notwithstanding
the refusal Of the head Of the house to
see the man or make an appointment
with him and the decllnation OF the
manager to receive the money which the
bogus manufacturer persiStently en-
deavored to leave with him, the news
agency cabled to this country the exist
eDce of the fund rs an absolute fact and
afterwards quoted Col. OCHLTREE and
Capt. THOMPSON as thoroughly convers-
ant with the movements of the funds
projectors. Both those gentlemen de-
MED the statements attributed to them.
The sequel is given in a cable dispatch
from London stating that the court
records in London show the beginning
OF an action for libel by Mr.. VAN INGEN
against the Dalzeil news agency for
sending out report Of his alleged con-
nection with a British corruption
fund"
The English libel laws being very
strict it is altogether probable that the
originator or dissemination of this cam
Daign lie will need considerable British
gold" to get him out OF the sCrape.
