CARA NOT DOWNED YET.
HIS FOLLC WERs MOVING on a
MEXICAN RENDEZVOUS.

A Belief That They Intend to Attack
Monterey in Fo-cs-MsxicO Hurry
| ing Troops Forward 20 Head Them
! On-United States Troops Eldeavor-
ing to Prevent the Crossing.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The question Of
allowing Mexican troops 70 enter the United
| States territory Ia pursuit Of Cara and his
| band has been informally presented 20 the
Secretary Of State and was one Of the topics
OF discussion at the cabinet meeting to-day.
Il is understood that the Mexican govern
ment will soon make formal application for
the privilege referred TO.
ROXERo's TALK WITH BLAINE.
The matter was presented 70 Secretary
Blaine by Senior Romero. the Mexican minis
ter, a few days ago in the course Of a general
conversation in regard to the case of Cara
Minister Romero remarked that the Mexi-
can authorities we're hampered somewhat in
their operations against the instruction
lists by their habit OF seeking
shelter Ia United States territory whenever
Mexican eodiers we're in close proximity to
them, and on the other hand crossing the
line into Mexico when necessary to avoid
meeting with United States troops. He
was Of the opinion that the capture Of Cara
might be effected without doubt if
hlb kfDOpb q ElIubE Country WeTb
allowed to follow him into -contiguOus
foreign territory. He intimsted that in
order to test the sentiment Of this govern
ment on the,questiOn, the President of Mexico
would make a formal application to the
President OF the United States for permits
sion for Mexican troops TO enter United
States territory in pursuit of Cara In case
such course Is rendered necessary.
a DELICATE QUESTION.
The question is considered to be- a most
serious one, involving a degree OF diplo-
matte and international delicacy of unusual
Importance. The matter OF the damage that
might be done TO American life and property
renders the question difficult one to decide,
particularly in view Of the present
friendly relations between the United States
and Mexico. 1t Is understood that the Sec
rotary OF State is opposed to the PROPOSE
tion as tending to establish a dangerous
precedent in the treatment Of political Of
tenders No action will be taken by this
government, however, unless the matter is
formally presented. Under & long standing
agreement the troops of Mexico are per
mitted TO cross tine border in pursuit
Of hostile Indians and the same privilege
has been accorded to troops Of both coun-
tries employed in connection with the work
OF marGingsthe international boundaries.
The privilege, however, has never been
asked or employed in a case like the pres
ent, involving important political conoid-
erations.
GARzA's FOLLOWERS SCATTERED.
NEW ORLEANS, LA, Jan. 6.-The Picdy>
1Ine'S San Antonio Tex special says:
''Garza's followers are scattered into squads
through several counties the size of an ordi-
nary state in New England. but his revolu-
tionary movements are by no means being
checked. His active participants are
thus comparatively safe, while the senti-
ments OF the revolutionary pronunciamento
are spreading. There is reason to believe
that If Cara should succeed In avoiding
arrest he will keep up the present feeling
and will have the active support OF all the
anti~Diaz element in Northern Mexico,
whlehIwill.join him at once, upon his advance
into that country.
LOOKS VERY wARLIKE.
"Reports from various points throughout
the southwest country convey information
that parties of Msxioans are equipping
themselves with arms and horses and are
leaving for the supposed rendezvous of the
revolutionists. While no sanguinary en-
gagements have occurred for several days
there is a widespread feeling Gil along the
border that GarZas war is yet in its incip-
iency. The only official edvices yes

MOVING ON MEXICO.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Jan. S.-The latest
reports received here from the Rio Grande
frontier indicate that numerous bands of
revolutionists are moving toward Mexico,
and that unless their march is interfered
with within the next few days by United
States troops or the Mexican military
| authorities, a majority OF them will have
| reached Mexican territory.
They are all thought to,have one obj,c i've
point in Mexico, where they hope TO NEE
and join forces, and Monterey is said to be
| the city upon which the first combined
assault is TO be made. The Mexican govern
| ment has been informed of this plan and
| during the last two days there has bsen a
general shifting Of troops from the garri-
son in the state of st. Luis Potosi and the
| lower part of the state of Nueva Leon to
| the Rio GraDde frontier of the state of
! Tamaulpas. The main army of.the revolu-
tionistS is reported to be within days
march of the border, and United States
troops are being hurried to intercept them.
