ST. LOUIS, Jan. 3.-The Republics
Laredo special says: A party in from
the vicinity of Garza's operations re-
ports the rebels in a sorry plight as re-
CARDS horses. The hard usage they have
been put to has about used them up,
they being grass fed, and now in a coun-
try where the grass is all dried up. 1t
is hardly possible that the command
will be kept together long when dis
mounted.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 3.-The lat
est news from the border is telegram
received at military headquarters from
Captain Wheeler, commanding officer
of Fort Ringgold. He reports that
Lieutenant Langborne, with detach-
ment, surprised camp of revolution
lists few miles from Las Cuevas, who
ran at the approach of the troops and
escaped into dense thicket, not, how
ever, until one of Garza's leaders,
Col. Pablo Munoz, had been captured,
as well as the horses and
complete equipment of nine
of ther revolutionists, two guns,
ammunition, badges and many import
ant papers. Great credit is given to
Private Walker, Troop @, Third cavalry,
for his services.
Juan Antonio Flores, follower OF
CARA in Nueva Leon, Mexico, has issued
another proclamation calling upon all
patriotic Mexicans to take up arms and
assist in overthrowing Diaz and restor-
ing the constitution.
ST.. LOUIS, Jan. 8 "A Republic
special from San Antonio says: Follow
ing is translation of the pronuncia-
miento by Juan Antonio Flores, in
part:
Gas Mexicans we must not remain
spectators of the revolutionary move
ment initiated by Cara. because, be-
sides basing the revolution on the holy
principles of democracy, proclaiming
thereby the liberty of the people, he
has demonstrated that his political ideal
rests on the pillar of the rights,of the
people. What worthy Mexican does not
love the freedom of his country? He is
the most miserable type in America. Bear
in mind we have examples given US. On
d fferent occasions Mexicans shed their
blood on the battlefield before submit
ting to slavery's yoke. The revolution
is founded on great precedent, and has
great prestige. Cara has managed to
reproach with facts, and not fatalities,
the publications of the subsidized press.
He has established in the midst of po-
litical conventions an insurrectionary
system entirely of modern times"
After calling the Mexicans to arms.
the document gives brief history of
the life of Gen. Servado gCanates, 1.-The
bold director who spurned the dittato-
rial dispositions of the supreme govern
ment with the constitution of 1851"
The document then goes on: Now
is the time, fellow countrymen.
The revolutionary standard calls you
to cover yourselves with its shadow. Be
convinced that the revolutionary spark
has been kindled, and the blaze that
will give us freedom is rapidly spread
ing throughout our territory. 1t only
lacks for the frontiersmen to rise 30 that
the throne of the tyrant Diaz may
be overthrown by the great work in
augurated by the most modest of Mexi-
can writers, Cara. The attitude of the
United States government signifies
nothing, taking under consideration
the propositions the tyrant Diaz has
been making to it, but maybe pretty
soon the American legislators will be
convinced of the just reasons on which
the revolution is founded, and will pro-
test against those exaggerated laws
OF neutrality which amount to nothing
when placed before the cry of a
nation for liberty. On the other hand,
the neighboring republic ought not up
hold an autocratic chief, allowing
that international laws emanate
from similar constitutions, one OF
which (Mexico's) does not exist
even in book or manuscript, because it
has been stepped upon by Mexicans at
will. He who writes is Mexican who
loves the freedom Of his country.
Hurrah for the revolution and Mexico
free Your companion in danger,
"JUAN ANTONIO FLORES"
