SAN DIEGO, Tex. Jan. 23.-This sec
ton is the hot-bed of the Cara revo-
lutionists. W. H. Mabrey, adjutant
general of the state. arrived here yes
terday, and will command the detach-
ment of fifty state rangers who will
start tomorrow from here on an extend
ed scout to the southwest, evidently
bent on bringing in game. as they are
prepared for weeks absence and each
man is furnished with 200 rounds of
ammunition. Gen. Mabrey states that
it is his firm belief that Cara will be in
custody within ten days and that his
whereabouts are definitely known to the
rangers. Carefully laid plans are being
matured, which, when brought to
focus, will make matters very inter-
esting for Cara. There are three
parties in the field. and the chances for
Garza's escape are meager. When the
last of these chances have eluded him
it will remain to be seen which of these
parties will effect his capture or sur
render. There are those attracted by
the alurements of the big reward offered
by Mexico and, should they get him,
Cara would be
TrOtted Over the Border
so quick he would have no time to realize
his ill luck. Should he fall into the
hands of the federal troops he would be
subject to extradition, and, though the
process might not be so summary, he
would just as surely find himself at
last inside Mexican prison, and once
there his fate would not be hard to
fOretell. But let the state forces get
him and different story would be-
told. Gen. MabreY says: ''TeXaS has
no charge against this man. except as to
his completely in the killing at Retinal,
and the fact that he is said to have been
engaged in organizing gangs of armed
men contrary to the militia laws of the
state. AS to the first charge. it is plain
to be seen that there may be serious OBJ
Stacles in the way of proving his con-
nectlOn with the killing and the battle.
In the seyerest phase it could not result
in the penitentiary. All this being so,
and Cara being the sensible man whom
all who know say he is. it is certainly
reasonable to expect that when he sees
nothing but
Inevitable Capture
or surrender before him. he will come
and surrender to the state forces" The
immediate friends of Cara say he is
''away off," He is down in Mexico.
He is over about Eagle Pass. He is
out Of all reach. and every effort
to capture him will be futile. Such
information, however, is not always
given the credence, which under other
circumstances it might be entitled to,
and Gen. Mabrey states that Cara is
much less than thousand miles away
from here. His plans are laid accord
ingly, and it is plain to see he is salts
fed that he is drawing the lines surely,
if slowly, about the fugitive. If, as SUD-
posed, ne is in hiding with a remnant of
his force, those who have stayed by him
are brave and determined men, made
doubly desperate by their desperate
condition, every effort will be made to
induce these men to give up quietly.
Every opportunity will be given them
to come in and surrender, and with that
end in view there will be no precipitate
action on the part Of the state forces.
But if they should refuse to surrender
a nasty fight will be the result.
