cry and Crying for Help.

SAN DIEGO, Tex, Feb. 9Th, 1892.
Editor StGuntop SpectGtor:-Thes sit
uation on the border with reference to
the Garza's revolution is difficult to
understand. 1t is claimed by some peo-
pie that the movement is completely
suppressed, while others, with a know
ing shake of the head, mysteriously
assert that there will be startling de-
velopments within the next few days,
and that Cara has a powerful army
organized and equipped which will
soon come to the front and make itself
felt in very short time.
THE SPANISH NEWSPAPERS,
published on this side of the border,
with few exceptions, are staunch sup
porters of Cara, and are using every
effort to stir up the people to join the
revolt. Among these people is "El
Mundo" (the World published in Lare-
do, the owner being the widow of the
late Ignacio Martinez, who himself was
refugee and bitter enemy of the Mex
lean government, and was assassinat-
ed, (t is charged by his friends, by the
consent and by paid emissaries of that
government. The following is an ex-
tract of an article published by that
paper, translated into English
''THE INTREPID GARZA
is organizing his army in the State of
Tamaulipas, where all the people are
in sympathy with him, and, according
to reports, the States of Vera Cruz,
Puebla, and Guanajuata are preparing
the revolt with extraordinary activity.
1t seems that capitalists and military
men are interested in the revolution,
and that, although they are now afraid
of appearing before the public as
enemies of the government, they will
openly declare their position at the
first opportunity. 1t is reliably report
ed that a relative of the private Secre-
tary of President Diaz received, as an
answer to query whether it was con-
venient to change residence and take
his family to the capital, letter in
which the Secretary stated, that under
no circumstances he ought to do such a
thing, and that he was in a better posi-
ton the nearer he was to the frontier
This is proof that in Mexico, peace is
not sure, and also that impatience of
the people to go and join the revolt is
manifest.
THE THOUSANDS OF REvOLUTIONISTS
whom the American troops are at
tempting to disband to prevent their
reorganization, are under the COM
mand of the brave General Benavides.
Cara is near Monterey at the head of
from 5000 to 5000 men. Every day
there comes to light news about the
revolution, and it is observed, and has
been considered matter of great i'm
portance. Judging by the cause that
has produced it, the Mexican govern
ment will experience great difficulty in
withstanding the movement.
| 'GarZa's cause is made stronger not
withstanding the activity on the part
of the Mexican government. There is
no doubt that the Mexican people,
with few exceptions, are dissatisfied
with the present administration.
"Onward, people! The hour of res
toration is near. son, independent
press! Hail to the sacred rights of the
people! Down with the tyrants!''
