Special to Times-Republican.
webster City, May 13.-The main
strength and backbone OF the rebel
army in Mexico are American regular
army men. So says Major N. y. Hyatt
Of this city, who Is just back from q
months service with the regulars at
San Antonio. Tex. The terms Of SER
vice of many Of the men, both prtvates
and officers, are expiring now and all
have the privilege Of re-enlisting at
their present rank and pay within
ninety days. For the most part these
men are taking advantage Of this and
enlisting with the Mexican insurrectos
for three months. 1t Is from recruits
gathered in this manner and from de-
serters that the insurrecto army is
holding its strength.
Recruiting on American Side.
Major Hyatt says the insurrectos have
a detail Of men about the American
camp all the time to enlist men who
are discharged or who desert. In this
way they are getting many Officers.
Many a sergeant IN the american army
has Joined the rebels when his time
in the American army expired and was
given a majorship. generalship or some
other high Office. These men make
good officers. Sergeants with long
terms OF enlistment to their credit
make the very best kind OF fighting
men. On an average OF twenty Amer
lean soldiers are discharged every DAY
because Of the expiration OF their en-
listment. On an average Of forty new
enlistments per day are secured.
It is the belief of Major Hyatt that
General Madero's army would be
sorry spectacle indeed but for the
American soldiers who have Joined 1t.
When their three months expires with
the Mexican army, they will come
trooping back to Join the American
regulars.
