LAREDO (Texas), Feb. "A CORE
spondent who has been travelling through
Northern Mexico says he found small de-
tachments of men who at given signal
will unite at some designated spot on the
Mexican side of the Rio Bravo and join
Garza's standard. In the meantime they
are at work among ranchmen who are
their friends. The correspondent adds:
Speaking to one of their leaders, man
higher than Cara, he told me the
grievance of the revolutionists is not so
much against President Diaz as against
the men he placed in power, and they
hold Diaz responsible for his subordin-
ates' acts. They have plenty of money
and know where they can get more when
they need it.
They are not backed by any one party
in Mexico, but have good friends among
all, who will fight to the bitter end to
secure reforms in the administration
the same reforms for which DiaZ and his
party fought, and which, after obtaining,
they abandoned. They count on the gem
eral bad state Of business and failure of
crops TO aid their cause, and say if they
pursue no operations now 1t will break
Will have convinced the United States Of
the necessity OF remaining neutral, as
they want to be on good terms with that
country.
The rebels also claim that at proper
time prominent leaders will come to the
front. Money for the rebels is evidently
coming from ring, undoubtedly cattle
barons and mining kings of Northern
Mexico, whose headquarters are in New
ork and Washington, and some of whose
members are prominent in politics and
finances in the United States. All the
bands seen were well armed. They say
their next attack will be on the large
cities of Mexico. When asked what they
thought of the American troops trying to
stop them, they said they are deluded by
DiaZ' agents, who have deceived the
American Government, the press and
the people. The military have no heart
in this work in favor of Diaz. They
said: Does it not seem strange that all
the United States soldiers now here have
so far been unable to catch CARA, know
ing him to be but ten or twelve miles
from them?'
MANY prominent ranchmen expressed
wishes for the success Of the revolution,
which they said must come. The bust
ness of the whole country, they say, is ut
standstill and prices of prime articles of
food have risen SO high as to entail great
suffering on the poorer classes, who,
while not starving, still are suffering
greatly. The people of Durango will be
the next to move"
GARzA LOCATED.
AUSTIN (Texas), Feb. 2.-Adiutant-
General Massey has returned here from
the scene of GarZa's operations on the
Rio Grande, and after brief stay started
back for camp. He claims the rangers
have located Cara in the chaparral and
expressed the conviction that his arrest
will be effected to-day.
