LAREDO, Tex, Jan. A correspond
ent has succeeded in getting talk
with Garza, the revolutionist In speak
ing of the revolutionist movement,
Cara said
"The impression prevails that / and
my followers are simply an organized
band of border rufiians, seeking only to
crafty personal ends. As nothing can
be further from the truth ! rely on you
TO do me justice.
Before / go further, let me speak
briefly of the condition of affairs in
the Mexican states along the Rio
Grande and the southern line of the
United States In Nuevo Leon. Tam
aulipas, Coahuita and chihuahua partic-
ularly, there has been growing dis
content at the misrule of Mexico
President Diaz is Mexico.
HE is the government, sole and en-
tire. The slightest opposition to his
will on the part Of any minister or
other official is followed by instant
dismissal and disgrace. He does not
seem to care for the good of the people
or the country SO long as he may crafty
his own interests and vanity. During the
time he has occupied the chair OF Presi-
dent he has grown immensely wealthy.
| He owns thousands of acres of land,
and has millions of dollars laid by, not
only in Mexico, but in the vaults
of Europe, and there is hardly a
! big corporation or monopoly in
| Mexico that he does not own
stock in. In fact, the price of mo-
nopoly in Mexico is a block of stock in
the enterprise made out either in Diaz' 6
name or that of trusted lieutenant.
There is system of religious persecu-
tion in Mexico which has gained him
the cordial hatred of every good church
man and priest. The revolution which
is now in progress is of greater moment
than it is given credit for.
"Am the leader of the movements
"All can say is that am in perfect
sympathy with those who do head the
movement, whoever they msy be. We
are strong in followers and money. aad
we will accomplish our ends. Nc, Gan
not say what is my following. how
many men l have, er where they
are stationed. This much ear
say. The Mexican government knows
our following is strong, and tho brag
gadocio utteranees of the Mexican goA.
erals is only intended to keep up thG
tagging courage Of the half-stRrVst
soldiery, and when the crises comes. ~
it will, before long, Diaz will find hit
forces short by few companies, while
we, in turn, will be richer by as many
men.
"For the present this is CatarinG
Cara movement or revolution, as yoV
please" said the pleasant-looking ban
dit, with smile.
For the present can say hO more
but when the time does come that car
give you fuller details will be glad tc
do so. Fer the present this is only {
popular movement, with no further
ends than have given you, at lcast not
for publication"
This, however, I would like TO say
have lived too long in the United
States and have too wholesome u feai
and regard for the government n
Washington to do any thing which
might bear the sem blance of treason
The movement which is characterized
as the Garza revolution, is aimed a
the head of Diaz. and unless my
knowledge of Mexico and MeXicani
is faulty, it will eventually result IL
the downfall of the tyrant who is the
head of government now. My plan o.
campaign--it is success just the
means propose to take to accomplish
the desired result, can not describe tc
you. In the first place l don't know
myself, and if l did, would be pool
general to make them known entire
We mean to succeed. That much 20,
may say for me. Adios."
