WASHINGTON, Jan. 5-A telegram from
Brigadier General Stanley dated San
Antonio, Tex, Jan 4, received by General
Schofield, leads him to believe that the
trouble \ the Mexican border with the
Cara reyolutionists is nearing an end.
The telegram is rs follows:
Commanding officer Fort Rinegold
to-day reports courier in from Lieutenant
Beach at Pineno, passed Captain Hardie
at Sallenno AL information from that
direction and from scouting parties in this
vicinity indicates the breaking up and
scattering of the band Of revolutionistS
that had begun to form into larger forces.
Reliable information received convinces
me that the reports mentioned In your tel
egram of December a were incorrect. AL
stage lines and travel here continue un-
molested to the present time. Captain
johnson at Fort Brown telegraphs: Re-
turned last night with troop from forty
five miles up the Rio Grande, where
large ranch was searched. No fore OF
bandits there The situation of troops on
the Rio Grande is as follows: Cavalry
scouting in Encoual, Duval, Seapata and
Starr counties. River well protected from
Ringgoid to Mcintosh"
The telegram of General Schofield Of
December 90, above referred to, called the
attention of Brigadier General Stanley TO
reports current in Mexico that several
large ranch owners in Texas were harbor-
ing and aiding bands of revolutiOnists
San ANTONIO Tex, Jan. Sit is re-
ported that the Mexican revolutionist
CARA is surrounded in the chapparel in
the extreme northwestern corner of the
Sapata county by United States troops
and rangers and that IL is almost impos-
sible for him TO escape. Telegraphic COM
munication between the military head
quarters here and the posts on the border
has been re-established. Advices were
received to-day that the scouting of the
past few Gays indicates the scattering Of
Garza's forces on Texas soil That they
are either hiding or have taken refuge in
Mexico is possible, considering the vast
stretch of broken and brushy country on
both sides of the Rio Grande and the
sparse means of communication.
Minister Romero's assertion at Washing
ton in prominent Mexican citizen was
being held by Cara at Ceja del Prieto
proves to be unfounded. Captain Johnson
of Fort Brown telegraphs Coptain J. p
Martin, adiutant of this post, that he has
Just returned from a scout of foI.v-five
miles up the Rio Grande and searched sew
eral ranches, but found no revolutionists.
Thirty Mexican troops acted in concert
with him. proceeding on the Mexican side.
Troop D, Third cavalry, under Captain
George Chase, has left Fort Ringgold for
Palette Blanco, In Duval county. Captain
Hunter, with another detachment of the
Third cavalry, proceeded from Fort Nc
Intosh to Los Angeles in the hope of CON-
ing up with the enemy. General Stanley
has called upon United States Marshal
Fricke for additional deputies to assist in
preserving order on the border.
CITY of MEXICO, Jan. Though the
government is trying to conceal the facts
in regard to the situation in Durango, it is
now well known that tie reports of misery
there heretofore received were not ex-
aggerated and that many people are suf-
fering from starvation, and it is said that
if the government continues deaf to the
cry of the suffering an uprising of the
people may be expected. To use the words
of q man of influence among the common
people, II prefer to die fighting than from
hunger"
In the state of Chiapas the new Govern.
or Rabasa is trying to set the people
against the late Governor Carrascosa, but
the latter, who knows the people well, has
created most decided hostility en- their
part against Rabasa, and the state is said
to be ripe for revolution against President
Diaz's appointee, Rabasa.
In Puebla a revolution was only averted
by the general government backing down
after arresting the priests in two of the
thirty monasteries in Puebla, which is tho
most Catholic state in the republic. 1t is
stated that it was the intention of the gov.
eminent to arrest all the priests and if the
people rose to shoot them down, but
Bishop Morally avoided what seemed to
be trap.
The Cara revolution is becoming a
more important matter than the govern.
ment is willing to ccncede II is an open
secret here that Ga-Ls is receiving Ii oney
from both Mexico 81 i the United States,
and that contrabandits of all classes on
the border Of both countries are cortribut-
ing to carry On the work. Speculstors in
Mexic<.E bonjs are also said to be assist
ing. ILere is no doubt but that the gov
eminent will triumph over the insurgents,
but it is possible that the present move.
ment may be complicated with an uprising
by hungry people in some of the suffering
states.
