| abide on Texas SOIL if indeed they do not
| succeed In catching him.
The condition of the country may be
well judged from the fact that there IS now
published in Garza's old home at Patio
Blanco, little weekly paper which teens
with Cara literature. 1t IS printed IN
Spanish and has quite an extensive circula-
ton among the Mexicans around. On the
first page of tEe last issue is three column
article under the head of 1.-The Situation, -
in which those who call Cara bandit are
bitterly denounced, and the attention Of
Diaz is called TO the fact that he blazed out
the way himself when he first appeared IN
Mexico, and Cara is but following in his
footsteps. Attention is also called to the
fact that Mexican officers are permitted TO
come into Texas to track Cara and to work
for his defeat, while Cara himself is
hunted ike dog, condition of affairs for
which the administration isIseverelybrought
to task. The more CARA is prosecuted,
they say, the more friends they make for
for him, and the closer the Mexican army
is brought to him the better will he be able
to draw on that army for recruits. Gen.
Garcia and other Mexican officials are de-
nounced as declaring that Garza's home and
all his kinfolks and friends ought to be
burned.
There is a palpable laugh in the editorial
sleeve when the attention of the reader is
called to the fact that for months troops On
both sides of the river have been in the
field, always promising to catch the reYolu-
zionist tomorrow, and still he Is free. The
Cara revolution will last
MANY MOONS YET,
and the longer it lasts the more liable is it
to succeed. Cara has been in Mexico and,
according to his paper, has had frequent
consultation with high officials close to
Diaz's person, by whom it is boldly asserted
he is backed.
The revolution embraces among its best
men numbers Of ranchmen, good horsemen
well acquainted with the country, well
mounted and well armed, and they will not
easily be overcome. Diaz may look lightly
upon this affair because he is told the revo-
lutionists are only bandits, but his inform
ants may be the very men, who are helping
Cara most. The article appropriately
winds up by lauding GarZa's outfit to the
skies, declaring that they neither rob nor
annoy those about them; pay for what they
get, and aim only to await the proper time
to make a descent on Mexico.
The recent dispatches telling that Gen
Hernandez Of the Mexican army is to be
shot, have caused quite stir among the
Mexicans here. The Cara prisoner in the
ranger camp was greatly excited when
shown Spanish copy of the report. He
does not know much English, but he had
learned enough to eXclaim, On DIAL"
when he heard of Hernoandei:';fate.
To The GAZETTE correspondent he de-
tailed most graphically the circumstances
under which Hernandez and Cara met in
Mexico. In substance this Is what he said:
u was with Cara when he crossed the
river that time-I and $50 other men. Gen.
Hernandez came to attack US, so they said.
but he didn't make any att ack He had
only fifty soldiers with him and we were
$50. We were within 100 yards of each
other when Gen. Cara and Gen Hernandez
advanced and met between the lines.
couldn't hear what was said, but they
did not seem to be unfrienelly. Gen. Har-
nandez was good man and good officer,
but even If he had wanted to fight US he
would have been anything but wise to have
done so. And they shot him because he let
Cara get awayG 1 don't think SO. think
they shot him because that old devil Gen.
Garcia thought he was in his way''
And in the choicest Spanish and forcible
English Romo, as the prisoner is called,
proceeded to ''cuss out'' the entire Mexican
from DiaE down to the com
monest customs officials Of the border, e
