LAREDO, Tex, Jan. "A corresponds

with CARA, the revolutionist In speak
ing Of the revolutionist movement
Cara said:
"The impression prevails that and
my followers are simply an organized
band Of border ruff3ans, seeking only to
crafty personal ends. As nothing can
be further from the truth rely on you
TO do me Justice.
Before 60 further, let me speak
briefly of the condition of affairs in
the Mexican states along the Rio
Grande and the southern line of the
United States In Nuevo, Leon, Tam
aulipas, Coahuita and Chihuahua partic.
ulsrly, there has been a growing dis.
content at the misrule of Mexico.
President Diaz is Mexico.
He is the government, sole and en-
tire. The slightest opposition to his
will on the part of any minister or
other official is followed by instant
dismissal and disgrace. He does not
seem to care for the good of the people
or the country SO long as he may crafty
his own interests aud vanity. During the
time he has occupied the chair of Presi-
dent he has grown immensely wealthy.
He owns thousands Of acres of land,
and has millions Of dollars laid by, not
only in Mexico, but in the vaults
of Europe, and there is hardly q
big corporation or monopoly in
hot hn
stock In. In fact, the price of q mo-
nopoly in Mexico is block of stock in
the enterprise made out either in Diaz's
name or that of q trusted Lieutenant

sympathy with those who do head the
movement, whoever they may be- We
are strong in followers and money. and
we will accomplish our ends. No. can
not say what is my following, how

our following is strong. and the brag-
gadocio utterances of the Mexican gen.
erals is only intended to keep up the
tagging courage of the half-starved
soldiery, and when the crises comes, as
it will, before long, Diaz will find his
forces short by few companies, while
we, in turn, will be richer by as many
men.
"For the present this is Catarina
Cara movement or revolution, as you
please" said the pleasant-looking ban
dit, with a smile.
For the present can say no more,
but when the time does come that can
give you fuller details will be glad to
do SO. For the present this is only q
popular movement, with no further
ends than have given you, at least no,
for publication"
"This, however, would like to say
