GARzA's MEN SCATTERED.
His Movement Failure, but Mexico
Ripe for q Revolution.

WASHINGTON CITY. jan. "A telegram from
General Stanley, dated San Antonio, Tex, Janu-
ary A. received by General Schofeld tonight,
leads him TO believe the trouble is nearing
end. The telegram is as follows:
"1he commanding officer at Ringgold today
reports that courier in from Lieutenant Beach,
at Pnero, passed Captain Hardie at salenno.
All information from that direction and
from scouting parties in the vicinity
indicate the breaking up and scat
tering of bands of revolutionists
who hal begun to form into larger forces.
Reliable information received convinces me
that the reports mentioned in your telegram of
December % are incorrect. All stage lines and
the trail here continue unmolested.
Captain Johnson, OF Fort Brown, tele-
craps that he returned last night
with a troop from forty-fve miles up the Rio
Grande, where large ranch searched.
There were no bandits there. The situation OF
the troops on the Rio Grande is as follows:
Cavalry scouting in Encinal, Duval, Zatapa
and Starr counties The river is well protected
from Ringgold to Mcintosh.
The telegram from General Schofeld OF De-
cember 20, above referred TO, called the etten-
ton OF General Stanley to the reports current in
Mexico that several large ranch-owners in Texas
are harboring and aiding bands OF revoluti on
lists.
CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 4.-The latest news from
Durango is very sad. Though the government
trary accounts, 1t IS now well known that the
stories heretofore received are not ex-
aggerated and that many people are
suffering from starvation. IL is said that
If the government continues to be
deaf TO the cry of the sufferers, rising of the
people may be expected. These the words
OF a man of influence among the common peo-
pie: IL prefer TO die fighting than from hun
GER"
bic The new governor, Rabas, is trying to set
the people against the late governor. Carrasacas,
but the latter, who knows the people well, has
created decided hostility against Rabas, and
the state is ripe for revolution, not against
DIaz but against his appontee. Ra0as.
In Pueblo "A revolution was only avoided by
the general government backing down after ar
resting the priests in two of the mouasteries in
Pueblo. Which is the most Catholic and most
religious state in the republic. 1t is stated
that il was the intention Of the
government to arrest ali the priests
and if the people arose TO shoot them
down but Bishop Morally very prudently
preached by himself, aud throughout his
subordinates avoided what seemed to be the
trap set for them A prominent govern
ment official says the affair was a
sad mistake The government is not
did not know how 10 carry out the orders given
This has given rise to the opinion that the
whole thing was plan to oust Governor Mar
Quez wao IA a moderate ruler.
The Cara revolution is becoming more i'm
portant matter than tie government is willing
10 concede IL is Gn open secret here that Garza
is receiving money from persons In both
Mexico and the United States, and
contrarlsis OF al Classes on
the borser line Of both countries
are eontrI IbGting 10 carry on the work specu-
latoFs IN Mexican bonds are also said 70 be
lending hand. There is no doubt but that the
government will finally triumph bur II
is possible that the present move
ment 1aay he complicated by an M
rising OF the hungry people IN some Of the suf-
fering states, IA which event, ard in the hands
OF a competent leader, revolt would have
much greater force and perhaps tax the power
