GARZA'S PLANS.
The Revolution He Leads VIII
Continue to Spread.
What Senior Mendoza Says-The People Dis
satisfied With Diaz-The Coup
VIII Come In June.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
SAN DIEGO, Texas, Feb. 1.-The World
correspondent went out to Palito Blanco,
Garza's house, and while there met +.
Mendoza who published Ell International the
newspaper formerly owned by Catarlno
Cara. Senior Mendoza is a man of bril-
liant intellectual attachments, a Cuban by
birth, a refugee and was not 10th to ex-
press his views on the situation. He said
were Cara to die to-day the revolution
would continue. This is not question of
men but of principle, right, justice and
freedom. The people are dissatisfied with
President Diaz and will not stop until his
overthrow has been accomplished, no
matter who may head them in the move
ment. 1t was at the time Of the mock
election last June that Cara discerned
this feeling and decided upon this move
ment. The first thing to do was to get
financial backing. To this end he went
into Mexico and talked the matter over
with men of means. He found that his
views met theirs and he had no trouble in
securing the money necessary for the pro-
ject. The report that stock and bond
brokers are behind Garza's movement is
bosh No one is backing HIM but Mexicans
IL.
He secured about four hundred men, and
has that number in Texas, while he has
passive and unknown army OF many thou
sands IN Mexico, which will spring up as
mushrooms when Cara gives the signal.
This s an army of citizens which does not
include Mexican troops, who will flock to
his standard when all is opened. Since
last September Cara has divided his time
equally between Mexico and Texas, but is
now in Mexico-not on this frontier, but in
the interior. There will be little done I'M
til June, when the elections take place.
That is the time Cara has always intended
to strike the blow that will crush the Diaz
government. 1t is a fact that the church
| IS behind this movement. 1t Is not with
Cara, but with the Mexican people in
their struggle for freedom. 1t is nonsense
| to talk of Augustine Iturbide being with
! Cara, for their ideas and views are widely
different. Cara is, and has always been,
q republican and advocate of liberty, while
Iturbide, the heir presumptlve to the
throne of tho defunct Mexican monarchy,
/ is perforce an imperialist of imperialists.
Iturbide has as little use for Cara as he
| has for DiaZ. They both oc-
cupy the same position toward
| him. Notwithstanding their treatment by
Diaz neither General Manuel Gonzales nor
General Geronimo Trevino will participate
in the revolution, for the reason that both
are wealthy and have more to lose than to
gain by the undertaking. They are Diaz's
friends and will stand by him. Watch
ing matters as L have done l cannot
but see that President Diaz is
counting revolution. His every action
points to the probability of such 8
thing. He now has one but does not seem
to realize it. Don Alexander Gonzales,
father of Garza's wife, says ne has no in
terest in the revolution and does not care
what becomes of Cara or what the news
papers say about him, but he is highly in
dignant that pictures of the true Cara
should have been printed in the news
papers. He says his daughter is very proud
of her husband and believes in the ultimate
success of his undertaking but does not de-
sire notoriety. Gonzales declares that ne
does not know where the reyolutionist chief
is and does not care a continental, but
thinks Garza's efforts cannot be crowned
with successD
