NEARING THE END.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. "A telegram from
General Stanley dated San Antonio. Tex,
January 4th, received by General Schofield
tonight leads him to the believe that the
trouble is nearing the end The telegram is
as follows: The commanding officer of
Fort RnggOld to-day reports that courier
in from Lieutenant Beach at Pineno passed
Captain Harde at Salenno. All informa-
ton from that direction and from scouting
parties in the vicinity indicate the
breaking up and scattering OF the ban1 OF
revOlutiOnistS which had begun to form into
larger forces. Reliable information received
conVinces me that reports mentioned in your
telegram of December Doth are incorrect.
All stage lines AMI travel here continue un-
molested Captain Johnson. at Fort
Brown, telegraphs that he returned last
night with his troops from fOrty-fve miles
up the Rio Grandp, where a large ranch
was searched. There were no bandits
there. The situation of troops on the Rio
Grande IS as follows: Cavalry is scouting
on the Encinal and in Duvall, Zapata and
Starr counties. The river is well protected
from RingE0li TO McInto5h."
The telegram from General Schofed on
December 29th, above referred TO, called
the attention OF General Stanley 10 reports
current in Mexico that several large ranch
owners In Texas were harOoring and aiding
bands Of TevolutioniSts.
STARVING MEXICANS.
CITY or MEXICO, Jan. 4.-The latest
BthH liblii - AAiIei - Wi edts lONEl4 TIC
Government is trying 20 conceal tie facts
and giving out contrary accounts, Il Is now
well known that the stories heretofore re-
celyed were not exaggerated, ana that many
people are suffering from starvation. 1t is
said If the Government continues deaf 10
the cry Gf the sufferers rising of the peO-
pie may be expected. To use the words of
a man OF influence among the common peO-
pie. Il prefer 10 dle fighting than from
munger"
RIPE FOR REVOLUTION.
In tie State Of Cbiopas there is political
trouble The new Governor. Rabasa, is
trying to set the people against Governor
CaTraSacOsa, but the latter, who knows the
people well, has created decided hostility
against RablSa, and the State is said TO he
ripe for revolution, not against Diaz but
his appOintee RabaSa. In Puebla a revolu-
tiOn was only avoided by the Govern
ment backing down after arresting
prizes in two monasteries IN Puebla, which
is the most Catholic and religious State In
the republic. 1t is stated tnat it was the in
tention of the Government to arrest all
priests and II the people rose to shoot them
down, but Bishop Morally very prudeDtly
avoided what is decreed 10 be tran set for
him. A prominent Government official says
the affair was a sad mistake that the Gov
ernment was not 10 blame, and the State au-
thoTiies di1 not know how to carry ont the
orders given. This has given rise 10 the
opinion that the whole thing was a plan to
GUST Governor Marquee. who is a moderate
ruler.
THE GARZA REVOLUTION.
The Cara revolution is becoming a mere
important matter than the Government is
willing to cOncede. 1t is an open secret
here that Cara is receiving money from
persons in both Mexico and the United
States, and the disaffected of all classes on
the border line of both countries are con-
trlbuting to carry on the work. Spectators
in Mexican bonds are also said to be lend
ing a hand There is no doubt but the
Government will finally triumph, but il is
possible the present movement may be sup
plemented with an uprising by the hungry
people in some Of the suffering States. In
such an event, and in the hands OF a com
petent leader, the result would have much
greater force and perhaps tax the power of
the Government.
