MEXICAN DISPATCH.
Jan. 16. The following received her
to-day from the City of Mexico date
Jan. 14th.
AN agent of the ministry has return
ed and reports that Cara is hiding ant
his followers starving. That desertion
are numerous and many of the would
be hebels are ignorant of the causes o
the revolution. In official circles il
thislcity the rilmor that Iturbide is tn,
real head of the revolution is regarded
as absurd. 1t is said, too, that th'
clergy desire to be at peace with Presi
dent Diaz, who, while strict with them
is more lenient toward them, than any
one else would be.
The government adherents say tha1
''if the United States would only
force the free-booters to operate on the
Mexican side of the frontier the trouble
would quickly end"
Iturbide called Prince, is the son o.
the Emperor Iturbide, who was sho1
in Mexico in Padello, July 10, 1924. En-
peror Iturbide assembled the throne OF
Mexico in May, 1922, as Augustin
The Mexican Congress declared the
crown hereditary in his family. He
was compelled to abdicate his throne
ON March Goth, 1928 He went to Eng
land, returned in July, 1824-was ar
rested and shot by the Mexican Gov
ernment, who provided for his family
His son. this Prince Iturbide, was
adopted in 1865 by Emperor Maximil
ian, of Mexico, as his isheir-Maximilian
being childless. This Prince Iturbide
is a candidate for President of Mexico
in the election which is to come off next
fall, if the revolution don't prevent, and
is now in Washington, d. c., SO report
ed 1t is also reported here that Prince
Iturbide is with the Cara business
and his friends and Gen. Sandoval, who
is at New Orleans, are backing Cara
with their friends and money.
GENERAL REUS SANDovAL
was tried here in the federal courts last
fall for violating the neutrality laws
and was cleared, and he is now in New
Orleans. He denies having anything
to do with Garza's movement, but it is
believed here that he is mixed up with
the revolution.
LEADING AMERICAN
rancheman, who has lived 20 years on
the border says, ''there is an undoubt
ed sentiment among Mexicans ON this
border that the present government OF
Mexico is republican only in name, and
that an aristocratic government such
as now exists, cannot be permanent,
but | don't believe that there is any
popular movement for a change. Other
ambitious leaders of Mexico are OF
course Jealous of the absolute power
held by President Diaz, and would like
to down him in hopes of supplanting
him themselves, and exercising the
same dominion that he does. 1t used
to be that revolutions started on the
frontier and gradually worked thei1
way to the south, until they finally
conquered the country, but the rail
roads that have been built since the
last revolution have changed all that,
and any revolution to be successful now
must start from the capital. The money
furnished for the equipments of Cata-
rino Cara and his followers, must
come from some man or
CLIQUE IN MEXICO,
and the plan probably was to draw sol
diers away from the capital, SO as to
facilitate a rising there. AS a matter of
fact, however, the Diaz government has
sent soldiers to the Rio Grande from all
parts of the republic, but has not with
drawn any from the garrison in and
around the City of Mexico"
There is no denying the fact, how
ever, that there is rather strong senti-
ment in favor of Cara along the bor-
der.
CASE OF CAPTAIN CRAWFORD.
A proposition made a few days ago
by Mexican Minister Romero at Wash
ington, that an agreement be made be-
tween the U. s. and Mexico, whereby
the troops of Mexico would pursue the
Cara bandits across the river and Vice
Versa, the San Antonio Express, in
commenting ON this proposition, states,
THAT it does not meet with favor at
headquarters. The mill
tary officers and all others who have
spent much time along the Rio Grande
border, all assert that owing to the
treachery and hatred of the Mexicans
for all Americans it would be very un-
wise, if not unsafe policy to pursue. AS
an illustration of the truth of this as
sertion, the killing of brave Captain
who was serving with Gen
eral Crook in his campaign against the
Indians is cited. 1t will be remember
ed that Crawford in his indomitable
energy and ambition pursued the In
dians across the border and into Mexi-
co, where he struck an Indian village,
which he captured, the bucks flying tC
the ravines and escaping. That night
through squaw communication was
had with
THE FUGITIVE BRAVES,
who, after considerable parleying
agreed to come in on the following
morning and surrender. Capt. Crawford
and his few scouts were, however, at
tackled early the next morning, and &
resistance was made, but before the en-
gagement had progressed far it was dis
covered by Crawford that he was no
fighting Indians, but that the partie
making the attack upon him wer,
Mexican soldiers. He at once ordered
his men to cease firing, and cried out t.
the Mexican soldiers that he was al
American soldier in p ursuit of Indians
The MeXicans received this infOrma
tion coolly, and seemed to understand
the situation. Capt Crawford thel
started out to meet the commander O
the Mexican troops, and was within
short distance of their ranks when
volley was fired upon him and he fel
with
BUILT PIERCING HIS BRAIN.
There were some sensational circum
stances of an inter national impOrtanc
resulting from this killing, which
pronounced, by military officers tho
oughly familiar with the affair, as bt
ing foul murder, committed by th
