DAILY REVIEW ARIZONA MORNING. JANUARY

printed in mimeograph more than 20,- 0O0 circular letters which were spread all over Mexico. appealing for sympa- thy and funds. They represented that they were threatened with extradition and death; they had no money with which to pay attorneys; they could not furnish bonds, and had nothing to live upon. while their enemies and prosecutors were backed by all the power of the Mexican government, and could draw upon the millions in the federal treasury. Their appeal met with most generous responses; 1; an era of prosperity began for the impecuious adyenturers; money con tributions in small sums commenced to pour in on them, which enabled them to pay their expenses, employ attorneys. to secure bail and even to buy a new font of type and a printing press and to spend from $40 to $50 a week in postage on circulars and copies of their paper which were dis tributed gratuitously throughout the republic of Mexico.
 A newspaper at the Mexican capital, Colmillo Publico, bestowed columns of sympathetic praise upon the St. Louis martyrs for liberty, and opened a pub lie subscription in their behalf which, 1 am told. amounted to more than S3000. For several weeks the martyrs received by express and money orders from $s0 to S100 a day.
 Emboldened by this prosperity they developed a grand scheme of revolu- tion, blackmail and plunder.

He does not lack talent; his style as newspaper writ CT is particularly sensational and roughly eloquent, which gave him an importance in the group" Bustamen- te, who was known as Don Liberado," !" is "an insignificant professor, whose only merit consisted in his believing that Ricardo Flores Magon and Sa- rabia were real patriots and brave pol iticians." Arcon Lopez Manzana, an other of the conspirators, who fur nished a great deal of information to the St. Louis newspapers about the revolution, described himself to the public as one of the leaders of the Mexican liberal party and the most terrible enemy of Diaz; but, according to my in formant, he is nothing but a ridiculous coxcomb, without attain ments of any kind except as a compe- tent printer"
 Plan of the Junta.
 The plan of government which these people formulated" my inform ant says, "is a comical monstrosity if examined in the light of political sci ence, but for the purpose of exploita- ton it is a perfect jewel, and for cheating the illiterate Mexicans and robbing them of their money it is a masterpiece; a work showing wise foresight and thorough knowledge of our popular stupidity.
