and many fugitives from former unsuccessful
revolutions In Mexico have taken refuge on
this border: Accordingly it i, not dncult for
attempts like that Of Cara or that Of his
present SUCCESSORS to find recruits or AT least
| sympathizers. One Of the curious reports
in tho present affair is that OF IL turning
over of the Mexican prisoners taken at san
YGnacio to the Texan authorities, Of he town
OF similar name on this side Of tn" river and
their retention as prisoners for several days.
Tho difficulties OF campaigning in that region
are also known to be very great.
President DiaZ Is well aware thatoU officers
in Texas are sincere and energetic IN their cf-
forts to hunt out the outlaws who thus violate
our neutrality stAtutcs Hence even the
troubles arising out OF the CARA affair caused
| no ill-feeing between the two Governments
nor any demand for indemnity. 1t is sud, in
fact that our Government was at an expense
OF about 100000 or account Of the CARA
movement, and Just before the recent raid OF
Ramon. one OF GarAa's. officers. Carmen
Ybanez. had been put on trial at San Antonio.
and our officers had testified that he was one
OF the leaders in tina CARA affair. There is no
doubt that every effort wi! be used TO secure
the ca pture of tho marauders concerned in the
