the effect OF quieting the disturbance,
which Mexican officials say is purely
local in character, without n particle of
significance. On the other hand syInpa-

MAILS CLOSELY SCRUTINIzED.
CHICAGO, Jan. ia private letter to
the Associated Press from Monterey.
o.,
eminent is keeping the skarpest watch
on kilograms and letters to and from tho
United States, and even on neWspapers
to suppress all news about the Cara rev
olutlon, and though the Government pro-
! tends the movement is Of little account,
and IN some instances directed against
| the United States, yet it is well known
the movement has taken formidable pro-
portions, and threatens to extend for
dissatisfaction reignS in many States and
hunger may drive the people to uespera-
ton.
Diaz, the Mexican Consul at Laredo,
mas received orders from the GOVernment
| to doctor all reports passing through his
| hands and destined for the United States
The histories of Cara published so far
| IN the United States are all wrong. He
always has been either q SchOolmaSter or
a journalist OF considerable talent, and
though he may be defeated and killed the
revolution viii not end. The small bands
Will harraSs the Government on all sides
until the election, when another and per-
haDs stronger effort will be made, and
then the Conservative or Clerical party
may take a hand.
The great question as to where the
money comes from for the Cara move
| ment is solved by the word "preyinr,''
! that is, they live or the land. Their arms
and horses are their own property, and
all hate the Central States.
1nOugn NrafZa IS intelligent and brave,
he is not the real leader OF the movement.
The leader Is one Of the most prominant
men in that republic, and he is ably sec
onded by very prominent military men
and diplomats, who will never tire unless
killed or triumphant.
What aids, or rather what Will aid the
revolutionists, is the general depression
which reigns and which makes itself felt
more and more every day. The prisons
are full Of people driven to crime by dis
tress, and President Diaz himself under
stands the situation is critical. The Do-
lice are very active in their search for the
leading conspirators, but are meeting
with poor success.
STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS EXPECTED.
LAREDO (TeX.), Jan. u.-Interest in
the CARA revolution is intensified, and
startling developments are expected
daily. 1t is understood an investigation
will be made Of the contents of car on
the TeXas-MeXican railroad consigned to
Las Angeles, marked ''soap" Las An
geles has not dozen inhabitants, there
fore no one in that neighborhood mad any
use for such an amount Of soap. Sus-
picions have been aroused, and it is
thought the car contains ammunition for
GarZa'S men. 1t seems that the Mexican
Government, or parties conversant with
the situation. think developments of a
startling nature will soon transpire in the
heart OF the Republic.
