FEAR OF TROUBLE IN
 DISTRI BUTING THE SPOILS OF REVOLT
Big Job Ahead for Mexican lnSWrectoS When Latter
 Come Into Power
BIG PROMISES HELD OUT

SAN ANTONIO, Texas May zo.- That the greatest trouble in Mexico will come when the revolutionists line up at the pie" counter Is the opinion of several of the exsreyolu- ists who were in what was known as the American legion.
 According to these men, Madero, or some of his supporters, have promfsed the men who have gone through the revolution a good job, Iso acres of choice land and also an interest in the Terrazas cattle. It was said the revolutionary leaders plan the confiscation of the Terraz- ss herds.
 When the revolutionary chiefs attempt to make this distribution you can rest assured there is going to be some trouble" said one of the American eS-revolutionists. Just how this is all going to be brought about is something that l cannot figure out and I don't think any of the revolutionary leaders can do 1t either.
 Pay the Consideration.
 'I found the Mexican was a pc. culiar individual in some respects While the Mexican army was being paid at the rate of 30 cents day there were a great many assertions. but when President Diaz raised the pay of the soldier to a peso q day the assertions were not nearly so frequent So you see a little extra indUcement holds the men pretty we'll in line. Also, lot of men in the revolutionary ranks are tired of fighting for patriotic motives, so to speak. l believe while this lull in the fighting is on a great many will cease 10 be revolutionists.
 Then again there is nc telling what h going to happen when Gen. eral Reyes gets back in the republic. lot of enemies of Reyes say the people of the country will condemn him and call him coward for going on the other side of the ocean. But l think 9 great many of the soldiers will be glad to see him bacl. in the republic. If the general is gwen a free hand and made minister of war, with instructions to go ahead. believe you will find things entire. ly different from what some persons now believe they will be in another year. Anything is liable to happen in Mexico with the minds of the pee pie in an inflamed condition
 Likely to Face Famine.
 There is another thing a great many people not familiar with con di1ons fin the republic have not thought about. This is the situation the poorer classes are going to face as a result of this continued fight ing, robbery and pillage. This is the planting season in the republic and a very great amount of the agriclH- tural section of northern Mexico has received no attention whatever. This planting season will soon come to an end and what are these poor peopIe going to do without bread You probably remember Mexico has at certain periods in a number oi years raised the duties on grain s that it might be sold to the poor al the lowest possible price. And thi' was necessary in those years wher crops were harvested and the coun try at peace. What do you suppose is going to haDren when a grea many Of the poor have a famine star ing then, in fhe face. and that is no at all unlikely?
 So. you see the revolution hal a dark eide to it, side that man, have not considered while the thrill of hattle enthused and while theri was gtifi plenty. But when a grea many of these larders down ther' are empty, when there is no crop t' harvest, when livestock sacrificed | the cause of the revolution is not re placed, you can see how easy It VII be to bring on the worst kind o discontent, that results when peopl are hungry.
 q do not blame the people. an especially those who have been or pressed for fighting for freedom. hope there is going to be freedoI for them and without further cos in blood. There are a number c widows and orphans in the republi now, a lot of them, and God onl knows how they will fare. It get next to one to have to think of thes poor devils. I hope when they q finally settle down the first thin done will be to prevent the starvin o@many of the poor.
 ~It is all very good, this talk how Mexico is going to blossom fort uader a new administration. pr' sume 1t will. but it is going to tas a lot of time, for in Mexico thing move slowly and I do not think yo can find anything in history to sho that . country recovered oyernigi from WAT. whether Is was 6 civ war or otherwise.
 Have Mans Size Job.
 ~If T1e promises to the revol tionists are fulfilled and the grei estates cut up and an impoveTisht peopie put thereon it is going deprive the federal and the sta governments of a great deal
 revenre derived from taxation. To
