Cry OF Mexico, Jan. 14.--Anr agent
OF the government has just returned
from the frontier, where he claims to
have made thorough investigation of
ports Cara hiding and his followers
starving in the desert, and that many
OF the would be rebels are ignorant of
the causes for the rising. He states
also that he did not discover the exist
ence OF any grievance against President
Diaz. He believes the disaffected peo-
pie have been unjustly melted against
the state government, and asserts that
the leaders are confessedly tired of the
movement; they are without funds and
government. In official circles, in this
city, the rumor that Iturbide is the real
head OF the revolution is regarded as
absurd. 1t is said, too, the clergy de-
sires to be at peace with Diaz. The
government adherents say if the United
States would only force the freebooters
to operate on the Mexican side of the
border, the trouble would quickly end.
GARZA'S WHEREABOUTS.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. IA. = The
United States authorities, along the river
between Laredo and Brownsville, have
received reliable information through
Mexican spies that CARA now has his
headquarters on the Mexican and Texas
railway, about ten miles east OF Laredo;
that he is receiving recruits from Mexico
and various parts OF the state daily, and
bands are well organized and scattered
along the line. The spies discovered
that there will be concerted move OF
the entire revolutionary forces into Mex
leo in the next ten days. These reports
have greatly stirred up the military au-
thorities on both sides of the river.
United States troops are to be concen-
trated in the territory now reported as
being occupied by the revolutioDists as
rapidly as possible.
ISvAsIoN OF NEW MEXICO.
DENVER, Jan. 14.-The Republicans
Albuquerque special says: 1t is re-
ported Cara and two hundred follow
ers, heavily armed, expect to cross the
southern border of this territory to-
night. The governor was requested to
order out the militia, but up to l p. m.
had taken no action. The people of
Chihuahua are in sympathy with Cara,
and only need a leader to induce them
to Join him. The report is not con-
firmed, but it is believed to be reliable.
1t is understood two more agents of
CARA are in this city making efforts to
recruit his ranks. Considerable excite
ment exists among those interested, and
a number of secret juntas are said to
have been held in both old and new
Albuquerque. One of the agents is
prominent American, and has had sew
eral conferences with popular Mexicans
with more or less success. 1t is under
stood a number of natives are ready to
join Cara, the only thing now prevent
ing being money consideration.
THE ASCENSION REVOLT SUPPRESSED.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. I4.-The Republics
Deming special says: A courier from
Ascension arrived today. He reports
the suppression of the revolt there, and
the resumption Of the sway Of civil law.
Colonel San Quinez, with troops, sur
rounded the stone mill occupied by the
rebels, and after feeble resistan ce the lat
ter surrendered and were placed under
arrest. REMIT, leader of the rebels, de-
serted the band at the critical moment
and escaped to the mountains.
One hundred and seven captives will be
tried at once, and the principal ones
will undoubtedly be shot. Business has
been resumed and though there is
much sympathy with the rebels, no
further trouble is expected. However,
more troops are ON the way here, and
the town will soon have garrison OF
400 men. Anchela, the murdered presi-
dent of the town, whose election pre-
cipitated the revolt, is believed to have
acted under orders of the govern ment,
who feared to allow the church party
candidate to secure the Office to which
it is believed he was elected.
A BATTLE WITH BANDITS.
ST.. LOUIS, Jan. A. The Republics
special from Maria. Texas, says: An
attempt was made last night by an
armed body of Mexicans to rob the
Cibilo silver mines at Shafter. but the
robbers were surprised by detacn-
ment OF Texas rangers and put to flight
after a stubborn fight, in which three OF
the robbers were killed. The survivors
fled in the darkness toward the Rio
Grande. One of them is Antonio Car
asco, whose brother. year ago, killed a
ranger in this vicinity. The Mexicans
outnumber the Americans two to one,
and serious trouble is feared as the re-
suit of the affray.
