LAREDO, Texas, Jan. 9l.--l have had
IN interview with one Of Garzas leading
licutenents. y three days ride from
this city took me down to . place near
the rendadn. The trip was madc with
a confidential friend OF Cara. On ar
irving at tho rendezvous / was received
in due form b. Garse's aide, and from
\ him learned a great many facts con-
corning the revolution.
Tho captain, who was in charge OF a
squad OF twenty-five men, vehemently
denounced tho charges that they were
bandits. They paid for everything they
used, except in few cases where
ranchcrs in accord with the movement
had donated supplies.
Cara, he Haid, represented princi-
pie. Ho was patriot, and was deter
mined to overthrow tho tyranical yoke
OF Diaz, who was not only dcfying all
civil law, but was holding az office 10
which he had not been elected. He
idwclt with his people in tho same man
ner as tho Gar exercises dominion over
Russia. He had robbed and plundcred
tho people in order to enrich himself
and a few friends, and the time was now
at hand to revolt.
"How many mon has Cara" I
asked.

the people on both sides OF the river,

Nothing can be done for few weeks.

bitter cold and no active work can be

CLERICAL SYMPATHY.
SIS the clerical party behind the re-
volt?"
"All parties are interested in the
movement, and rs Diaz has been the
mortal enemy OF the clergy it is but
natural to presume that we will have
their sympathy"
Has CARA any idea, as reported, OF
surrendering to the United States civil
authorities 2"
"That is ridiculous. He is enlisted
for the war, and he will neither surren-

After remaining over night We started
lon our return, satisfied that the rumpus
on. this side was over for the present,
and that the lull is but the calm before
the storm which may result in long
and desperate war.

Rio Grande are his friends and none
will give any clew as to his whereabouts.
