In NTEXICO.

In only one respect does the present
revolutionary movement along the Rio
Grande differ from the numerous other
uprisiugs which President DIAZ has
promptly suppressed. In previous in
stances the attitude Of the army has
never been in doubt. 1t has remained
Bteadfastly faithful to DIAz, whose
product and pride it is. But it is ap-
parent that the seeds of Sedition have
at last been sown in at least portion
nf the army, and it has become an open
question whether sufficient force will
remain faithful to DIAZ Ill the present
emergency to enable him 10 success
fully meet it. Gen. RoCHA, an officer
of thirty years service, who is uni
versally popular in the army and out
Of it, and whose fighting qualities have
narned him the sobriquet Of "The
Tiger" has openly deserted to the reVo-
lutionary standards, and it is strongly
suspected that many other officers are
merely waiting good opportunity to
follow RoCHA into opposition and take
their commands with them.
PoRFIRIo DIAZ is not new to the rev.
olution business. He got his own start
that way, and what time he has not
been engaged in promoting revolutions
he has been occupied in putting them
down. He is the best soldier in Mexico,
md man OF iron will. He has been
virtual dictator of Mexico for fifteen
years, eleeting legislatures and chang
Ing the constitution to accord with his
views and ambitions. Mexico has ad-
vanccd in material prosperity under his
despotic rule, but the republic is one in
name only. The Inflated MAMMALIAN
never contemplated more autocratic
sway than DIAZ exercises.
The army under DIAz has attained a
degree of effectiveness and discipline it
never before possessed. While it obeys
him he is safe. But let its carbines be
turned against him and no hand in all
Mexico would be raised to save him.
