CARA Charges the American Officer
with Cruelty Aiding the lyrant
Diaz In Ills War Against Liberty.
The Revolutionist Confident of
Success
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. Feb, f7.-While
the United States troops in Texas are
mentally surrounding CARA and an
nouncing daily that he win probably be
prisoner in their hands before nigh,
he is quietly sitting in his quarters in
Coahuila, on the Mexican side of the
river, writing open letters and man
ifestoes to the president of the United
States and all others in authority, and
enthusing his people to strike for liberty
and their constitutional rights.
The fact is that he is not likely to be
caught, for he can always make good
his escape to the Yaquis Indians, who
are the hereditary enemies of the Mexi-
can government, and would shelter its
enemies as constructively their friends.
Garza's literary productions are mas
terpieces of composition, and if he was
as good leader as he is an editor the
rebellion would long since have ended,
and Diaz and his reign been things of
the past.
Garza's latest proclamation is in sub
stance as follows:
Garza's --latest Proclamation.
"CoMPATRIoTs-As the forces of the
tyrant Porfiro Diaz invaded in disor-
derly manner the neighboring soil of the
frontier, the patriotic sons of Tamaulipas
Nuevo Leon and Coahuila defer to those
who, like ourselves, rise TO the voice of
insurrection, bearing arms and proclaim
ing the same cause, the same principles
and the identical flag; these are citizens
who proudly can be called Mexicans;
they, and no others, should compose the
popular jury, to judge the crowd of
corrupt rulers, who, while shielding
themselves under their Magma Charta,
have accumulated treasure in foreign
banks as well as our own, the withdrawal
of which will be the inevitable, Just and
necessary result of successful revolution
"While our insurrectionary forces lead
the way upon the battle field for the
populace, and even with the very heart
OF the enslaved regular army of Diaz,
secret and clandestine treaties have been
entered into with our neighbors which
border upon barbarous extremties,
without regarding the indecency of such
offers as have been mutually exchanged
by the tyrant Diaz and General Stanley.

"The first named officially authorizes
the murder of Mexicans residing in
Texas whom, in his last circulars, he

of Democratic republic, offers to con
tribute to the ends of the first.
