interior yesterday indicated that
General GonZalo Escobar had cap
tured Monterrey for the rebels aft
er most Of the regular garrison had
been dispatched to Vera Cruz under
General Andrew AlamaZan.
Brownsville, the most southern
and eastern of all border railroads,
seemed well insulated against the
revolution by the apparently loyal
state of Tamaulipas and by a strong
concentration Of loyal soldiers at
F2eynoSa, presumably for a sortie
against Monterrey.
Troops at Reynosa
The capture of Monterrey by the
reyOlutiOnists not only put another
stopper in the channel of rail COM
m~unications between the southern
part Of Mexico and the United
States border, but also tied up the
lines which loyal troops in Tamau-
npaS must use in reaching Nueyo
Laredo and the scene of revolution
airy activities in Coahuila, where the
rebels are reported to be almost
completely in control.
More than 5000 regular soldiers
had been concentrated at Reynosa
under Rrigadier General Jesus Gar
cha. The force was said to be well
equipped and to have sufficient
rolling stock to move it toward Mon
terrey. Telegraph reports said that
the rails had been torn up, how
ever, about Is miles from that city.
AT Laredo another concentration
OF regular troops was reported, ap-
parently for the purpose of striking
at Monterrey from another side.
Although Col. Genoa Avila was re-
ported en- route to Nuevo Laredo at
the head Of 1000 rebelling soldiers
General Benigno SerratoS, in COM
mand at Nuevo Laredo exhibited a
telegram Col. Avila in which the lat
ter promised to participate in a
counter attack on Monterrey.
Reports Conflict
Further west on the Mexican Dor
der, where the garrisons are small
conflicting reports were received.
Del Rio, which is not a railhead.
and Eagle Pass, both across the river
from the state of Coahuila report
ed that the garrisons at Villa Acu-
ma and PiedraS Negras had been
ordered to Sabinas, 70 miles from
the border. Whether this was a
move to concentrate loyal troops
on the Mexican National railway
south Of the Eagle Pass railhead.
or an attempt to persuade the SOL
dlers to join the revolution was I'M
certain. The commanders Of both
garrlsons had previously announced
they were loyal to the government.
