PLOT AGAINST MEXICO
Revolutionary Forces Prepar-
ing to Invade the Country.
THEIR HEADQUARTERS IN TEXAS.

The Outrage at San IgnaciO Denounced
by the Mexican Authorities, who Are
CallingsUpon the United States for Sat
tsfactiOn-1roOps Rushing to the Border.
MONTEREY, Dec. 1.-THE Mexican gov
ernment will demand of President Harri-
son that he take decisive steps toward
breaking up and wiping out the bands of
revolutionists that have their rendezvous
on United States soil and the lower Rio
Grande border country.
Gov. Manuel Reys, of the State of
Nueva Leon, has forwarded to President
Harrison documentary evidence in proof
that plot exists among a large force of
Mexicans in Texas to make an armed ex-
pedition against Mexico.
Gov. Reys is greatly incensed over the
inactivity of the military authorities of
the United States in not putting down
the proposed revolution in its incipiency
He said last night:
''The killing and roasting of those II
Mexican soldiers and citizens opposite
San lgnacio by band of outlaws who
crossed over from Texas is the greatest
outrage committed upon persons of one
friendly nation by subjects of another
that has occurred in the nineteenth cen
tury.n
1t is believed that serious interna-
tional trouble will grow out of the San
lgnacio outbreak if the United States
Government does not show its disapproval
OF the act of the reyolutionists
by putting large body of troops in the
field after the outlaws and their sympa-
thizers
The Mexican government is strengthen
ing its already strong force of troops on
the border by rushing about 2, 900 soldiers
to the turbulent section from interior
garrisons.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17-Gen Schofeld
has received dispatches confirming the
press reports Of Iawlessness prevailing
along the Texas border in the vicinity of
San Ignacio, Mex.
One of the reports received by him says
that party of bandits from Texas crossed
the line to San lgnacio ON the 10th inst,
set fire to the barracks, and burned to
death captain, ensign, and four Mexi-
can soldiers.
Gen. Schofeld said that United States
troops were fastening to the scene, and
would take whatever action was found
necessary. No orders would be issued from
Washington as the officer in command
had already received general instructions
covering such affairs.

SURPRISE At NORTHAMPTON.
Citizens Regret the Deal, as Union With
the Consolidated Was Preferred.

the Consolidated Was Preferred.
NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Dec. 1.-THE
purchase Of controlling interest in the
Connecticut River railroad by the Boston
s. Maine railroad has surprised the
natives. 1t was suspected by some of
the directors that such a move would be
attempted, but they thought it could not
possibly succeed.
The change of owners and the failure Of
the Consolidated road to complete its
lease of the Connecticut River road is
very much regretted by leading citizens
here, as it was thought this city's inter
ests would be best served by a union
with the Consolidated road.
1t would have removed several grade
crossings in the city, and given North
ampton one depot and better facilities in
every way.
The officers of the Consolidated road
were in town yesterday looking over the
ground for the purpose OF deciding what
they would do when the lease of the Con
necticut River road was made by the
stockholders of the Consolidated, which
was expected to occur Dec 23.
