FROM ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS
OF THE MEXICAN INSURGENTS.

He says Cara is Right and is Fighting &
on the Holy Principles of Dem mocracy.
Noicenic Utterances in Proclamation
san ANTONIO. Tex, Jan. 4-Numerous
copies IT proclamation were distributed
last night in the Mexican quarter of the
city. it was promulgated by Juan An
tonic flores, whose home is said to be at
Monterey, Mex. He was appointed com
mander of Garza's so-called army of the
north four weeks ago. The proclamation
is SAID to have been distributed in every
city OF Mexico and the towns all along the
! frontiec. 1t is dated state of Nueva Leon
and is in Spanish. When translated it
reads as follows:
! FELLOW CITIZENS: AS Mexicans, we must not
remain any longer as simple spectators of the
revolutionary methods initiated on the frontier
by Senior Catarine e. Cara, because, besides
basing his revolution on the holy principles of
democracy, and proclaiming thereby the lib
| erty of the people, he has demonstrated to us
that his political ideal of government rests
on the pillars of the rights of the people Who
Is that worthy MexicanSfhat does not love the
freedom of his country? fsAthe Mexican the
most miserable type of peopfe>iQ America2
No, thousand times no. Bearin mind that
we have had the example given us on different
occasions that the Mexican was born to shed
his blood on the field of battle, before submit
ting to the yoke of slavery. It cannot be de-
MED that the revolution has been
Founded as a Precedent,
because his initiation has managed to estab-
fish an organization unknown in other intes-
tine revolutions. 1t has managed to disprove
and reproach with facts and not with false
arguments in the salaried press of Mexico.
Senior Cara has established in the midst of
political meetings and the movement of gov
ernment troops on the northern frontier an
insurrection system and secret army worthy
Of the times of modern civilization.
To arms, to arms Mexicans! Seek in the
pages Of modern history of our native state of
Tamaulpas the name and public life in his
last years of General Servando Ganales and
you will find in that dead patriot the proto-
type of democracy, the mute and eloquent
hero, the bold director who spurned with pa
triotism the dictatorial despotisms of the su-
preme government with the constitution of
1857, which we now proclaim with arms in our
hands. General Ganales demanded the free
dom and sovereignty of the heroic state OF
Temaulipas, when President Diaz, the same
=: -, gAo 81 rees<a ua, thrnatened its sacred
rights. Where are those citizens of Tamau-
lipas Who upheld the principle of those brave
rontersmen?
Now is the Time,
FELLOW countrymen. The revolutionary stand
ard calls that you may be covered by its
shade. MeXicans, be convinced that the revo-
lutlonary spark has been kindled and the
blaze that VIII give us or. dom Is rapidly
spreading throughout tbs t,jriie of 'iexico.
All that is hacking 10 500 ar, the ethrone-
ment of the T. rant, Iaz, l. +! = IL the frontier
men to rise together and terminate the great
work inaugrated by Catarina Cara. The at
dtude of the government of the United States
with regard to the persecution of Cara and
his men signifies nothing, taking into
consideration the .indecor0us proposition
that the tyrant Diaz, has been maxi
ing to the United States government, but
1t may be that the American legislature
will soon be convinced of the just reasons on
which the present revolution is founded, and
protest against these exaggerated laws of
neutrality, which amount to nothing when
placed before the cry of nation seeking lib
erty On the other hand, a neighboring Re-
public, such as the United States. ought not to
uphold an autocratic chief. Mexicans, to
arms! He who writes this is "a Mexican who
loves the freedom CT his country. Hurrah for
the revolution! Hurrah for Mexico free!
