! able type OF people in America? No.
| 4 thousand times no. Bear in
mind that we have had the example
! given us on different occas-
ions that the Mexican was
! born to shed his blood
on the fields of battle before submit
ting to the yoke OF slavery. 1t cannot
! be denied that the REVOCATION has

aged to establish an organization I'M
! known in other interval revolutions.

arguments, the publications Of the
| salaried press of Mexico; and to con-
clude he has established in the midst
of political meetings and the move
ments of the government troops on
| the northern frontier, an insurrecting
| system and secret army worthy of the
| times of modern civilization.
70 arms, MeXicans! Seek in the
pages of modern hist )ry of our native
state of Tamaulipas the name and
public life in his last years of General
| Fernando Canales and you will find
in that dead patriot the prototype of
Democracy, the eloquent hero, the
bold director who spurned with pa
triOtism the dictatOrial despOtism of
the supreme government with the
constitution of 1858, which we now
proclaim with arms in our hands.
General Canales demanded the free
dom and sovereignty of the heroic
state of Tamaulipas, when Presi-
dent Diaz, the same tyrant who now
Expresses, threatened its sacred
rights. Where are those citizens of
ramaulipas who upheld the prin-
ciples Of that brave frontiersman?
Now is the time, fellow cOuntrymen.
The revolutionary standard calls that
you may be covered with its shadows.
MeXicans, be convinced that the rev.
dictionary spark has been kindled
and the blaze that will! give us our
freedom is rapidly spreading through
out the whole of Mexico. All that is
lacking to secure the reinforcement of
the tyrant Diaz is for the old frontiers
men to rise together and terminate
the great work initiated by CatarinO
CARA.
The attitude OF the government of
the United States with regard to the
pursuit of Cara signifies nothing,
taking into consideration the indie
corous propositions the tyrant Diaz
has been making to the United States
government, but it may be that the
American legislature will soon be con-
WINGED of the just reasons on which
the p, esent revolution is founded, and
protest against those exaggerated
laws of neutrality which amount to
nothing when placed before the cry of
a nation seeking liberty. On the
other hand neighbOring
republic, such as the United States,
ought not to uphold an autocratic
chief. Allowing that the interna'
tional laws emanate from simil ar con-
situations, one of which, that Of Next
co, does not exist in book of manu-
script, because it has been tran pied
and stepped upon by the MeXicans al
their will. Mexicans, to arms! He
who writes this is a Mexican who
loves the freedom of his country. Hur
rah for the revolution! Hurrah for
Mexico-free!"
TROOPS AT LAREDO.
Special to The Statesman.
LAREDO, Tex, Jan. 3.-No move
ment has been made today by the
two cavalry companies which ar
rived at Fort Mcintosh yesterday. 1t
is thought that they will take up the
line of March to join Capt. Harde to-
morrow. There has not even a rumor
reached Laredo today regarding the
Cara affair.
GARZA'S HORSES SUFFERING.
Special to The Statesman.
LAREDO, Tex, Jan. "A reliable
party who is just il from down the
river in the vicinity of Garza's opera
tons reports that Garzas men are in
a sorry plight as regards their horses.
The horses with which his men were
mounted several weeks ago were all
rass fed. The hard usage they have
been put to since, in section of coun-
try where there is no corn or hay to
be had and the grass on the range
entirely dried up, h, s about used up
these horses. 1t is hardly possible
that the command can he kept to-
gether very long when dismounted.
The necessity of the case can he APP
preciated when it is known that the
United States cavalry operating now
in that section OF country are supplied
with forage hauled in oXcarts from
Laredo.
