Monterey. Mex, Dee. 19.-The fail

place himself at the head of even a

along the boundary line of the state
of Tamaulpias but according to the
reports received by General Geronimo
Trevino, commander of the govern
ment troops in the north, he has fail
ed to get recruits.
General Trevlno has entrusted the
capture of Reyes to a hundred men
under Lieutenant Colonel Manuel Car
cia IMgo.
The commanding officers believe
that within a week Reyes win fall into
the hands of some of these men,
there are no bands of insurrectionists
near enough to come to the aid of the

to bear personal enmity to Reyes
