WEoth at His Failure TO start Revolt
Of Mexican Workingmen, with
Help from Their Fellow
Laborers In America.

Mexico City.--A letter sent to his
brother by Richardo Flores Magon.

and sent here to be translated, throws
some light upon the methods Of this
agitator who tried 50 diligently to
start a revolt OF the Mexican working.

istration
He said in this letter that It would
be a good idea to burn some of the
larger factories so that the workmen,
being idle. would be more susceptible
TO advice leading to deeds of vic
lence.
He also refers to the United States
as "a nation of pigs who can not be
aroused to enthusiasm over anything"
lie contended that Roosevelt was al,
lied with Dlaz to enslave workingmen.
Speaking of American Intervention
In case the revolution succeeded the

I'VE have thought much over the
possible gringo invasion on account OF

circulate the revolutionary manifesto
for the precise purpose that Diaz may
prepare himself and that we may be
able to catch him unprepared
AS regards Roosevelt, even should
he not invade, he would send his
troops to the frontier and we would
miss the realization of part of the
plan in not being able to smuggle
comrades from this nation. such as
the various groups in Texas.
But that is not all. With the
American people and the organized
workmen of this uninflamenable coun-
try, who are not susceptible to agita.
ton, only the unions of lei Paso took
action. Beyond this, with the ex.
ception OF Pasadena. there has been
nothing of a systematic sort, such as
a formal campaign in our favor.
Here and there, from time to time,
paragraphs have appeared in the labor
or socialist papers, but there has been
no real campaign in our favor in spite
OF the fact that the collision OF the
two governments is fragrant
The Americans are incapable of
feeling enthusiasm or indignation
This Is really a republic of pigs.
Some time the gringoes will have
to attack us, so II It be when the
people are in rebellion against Diaz, 1t
will precipitate the fall of the dlcta.
