the Mnalcan sldo of the Rio Grande nro to the
effect that4,000 Mexican government troops ,
Klatlonod at Mlar , have revolted , killed their
commanding ofllcors and are offering to join
Garza's band.
SAN ANTONIO , Tex. , Doc. 0. A dispatch
roaalvod hero from Captain Whoelock , com
manding the Unltod States troops at Fort
Ringuold , says :
"I received yesterday from Captain Bourke
nt Walincnn , seventy-eight mites above hero ,
the following message : 'Nowi has
bcon received hero from SnorifC
Hayes at Carnzo Springs , that
Gnrza has congregated a band . " > 0 strong
twelve miles north of Camargo. Ho is re
ported as being desperate nnd will tight. '
Upon receipt of this intelligence I sent Lang-
homo with twbnty-six mon who are now en-
route to unite with the ether forces and re
port to Captain Bourko. The troops of
cavalry stationed hero are nil being hold In
readiness to proceed wheneverordered for
ward by the war authorities nt Washington. "
Gcno at GaiL'iti Murdered.
SAN ANTONIO , Tox. , Dec. 30. In the dis
trict of the Gar/a disturbance there nro
now some L'Od United States troops nnd
thirteen Texas rangers. They are scattered ,
hut will bo concentrated with the forca of
Captain Bourko. When massed thatroops
Will attack Gaiv.a , who Is said to bo en
camped nenr Topcna with " 50 mon. The
locality is far from a.tolugraph station nnd
iho engagement may have taken plaoo today.
The only news received by Gonqral Stanley
was to the foregoing ofTcct and from the o ni
ce ra commanding Fort Rlncgold during
Bourko'.s absence. The muvdor of General
Lorenzo Garcia by his troops nnd their flight
into Texas to join Gurza has boon confirmed.
The killing occurred nt Mlor. The number
of the deserters Is not known.
Brigadier General Stanley feels certain
that an action took pluco today between
Garza's mon and the regulars.
Only a Mutill Korco to Upposo Him.
Tnc only reliable news concerning the
, . Gaiv.a outbreak that reached this city today
/ was u telegram to General Stanley from
1 , Captain Wlieclock , commanding at Fort
Rlnggold. It contained advices by courier
from Captain Bourke nt Shlieno , seventy
miles south of Fort Ringgold , to the affect
that Gnrza had united L'5'J ' of his men twelve
miles north of Toponu. The revolutionist
chief is desperate nnd ready to light Captain
Ilardlo wltn thirty soldiers and Captain"
BrooKs with thirteen. Texas rangers were
to join troop G with forty men , nnd this force
Is expected to engage Garza perhaps today.
No further news has boon hoard from these
troop-t , the telegraph wlios beinp down be
tween Fort Rlnggnld and Brownsville. They
uro probably 100 miles from available tele
graphic communication.
Gaiv.a lias a rmreo Force.
LiitEPO , Tox. , Doc. 30. An interview with
n United States marshal just in from Garza's
Held of operations shows that tnoro is cer
tainly n largo force with Garza and that in
one of Gurza's detachments , which Captain
Hurdio followed , there wcro not less than
UUd men. At the camp where they
had taken a slnglo meal were found
the remains of eight hooves which had
been slaughtered , also thirty-one camp
llros. Tbo trails bore proof of u company of
'
several hundred men. Captain'Ilardlo'fol
lowed close on thu trail of these mon until
they crossed the river. The country has a
dense growth of chnpparel which It Is
ulmosttmposslblc for a horse to penetrate
nnd the country Is broken by deep iirroyos
which compel the troops to dismount and
pick their way carefully and with great
ulflli'ulty. Captain Hurdle has spies nud
scouts stationed In various directions nnd
is doing everything possible under the sir
rtimbtanccs , considering the Impassable na-
tnto of the country , and that there are only
nboutaOO Unltod States troops in the Hold ,
while , If reports are true , G urea's band must
not fail short of WO men. Todav " supply
wucons heavily laden started down "the river
with supplies for the troops.
There are rumors of u battle between
Garza and the Mexican troops , but inquiry
ni-ross the river In Now Laredo fails to con
firm them.

Crrr orMiucico , Dec. 30. AM interesting
chapter in the lifo of Qatarlna Garza , the
would bo rovoltitlonlstof the border , Is glvon
In an Interview with R. L. Rlton , a well
known sowing machine agent hero.
"Tho.hunts after Garza , " said Mr. Rlton ,
"calls lo mind a hunt I hud after him myself
In 18SO , with this dlderonco that after fol
lowing Garzn down the Mexican sldo of tbo
river from Laredo , I made u y capture on
the Texas bide at a llttlo ranch about twenty-
live miles outside of Brownsville. Gatza
had boon a sulm < ; ant for a sowlnc machine
company ut MtorMoxtconnd in that capacity
managed to cot Short In his accounts to the
tune of $1,800. Notwithstanding this , ho bud
thu chuck to go to work for an agent of the
company nt Brownsville , where hu again tw-
eamo short In his accounts about SHOO. My
duty ns special agent was to Und Garza , who
was on tils way to some market to dispose of
about forty-llvo head of horses , and I'cup-
tured him In this manner :
"I saw his vagou In front of n llttlo hut ,
nnd as bo did not know I was coming , 1 had ,
In tha language of the west , 'the drop on
him. ' i fixed invsulf and went Into tbo hut.
Garza was sitting on the side of thu bed en
tertaining a couple of young ladles. My
language must not hnvo boon very diplo
matic , for I had scarcely salJ two words to
him before ha jumped up from the bed anil
tried to pull his revolver , but uilno was
drawn llrst , so I asked Garza to put hU re
volver on the bed and walk over to the door ,
Which ho did.
'I made tba best settlement I could for the
company , They got about , f > 0 cents on the
dollar , fiul it was all tlaria or his comrades
could raise. "
HUH Soun lit I'almioKt Dayn
Luu'Po , Tox. , Dou. ! IO. The three men re
cently captured belonging to Garza's band
uro mill In iNaw Laredo , but will probably be
sent to Monterey for tilnl by court-martial.
A telegram was received by Colonel Ger
ron | n Now -Laredo from General Lorenzo
Garcia at Mlor , statins that Captain liar-
dlo of Company G , United States
cavalry , had * notified him that
his ( linrdlo's ) soouU reported that
Gauu's 11,011 were mussing near Ki Tlgro
crossing , on the Rio Grande , on the line of
Starr nndapata counties , Texas , below Rio
Grande City. It wns supposed about ! ltx
men would meet thnro. Captain Ilardlo
stated that hu win marching for thut point
alul nuked that Garcia oo on hand with the
Mexican troops to reeolvo the wanderer *
when they cross to Mexican soil.
The Mexican consul at Now Laredo today
received a telegram from General Hot-era at
Monterey , stating that there woio no nev ,
developments and that no news In regard tc
the revolution bad been received.
A report was brought to this city from
X.upatu county tonight to tha effect thai
Gurxa's troops had captured a dotacumont o :
forty Mexican troops with their arms and
Dfimonts. The report states that tha
jtloulsu executed the ofllcers of the
mont und gave the mon the choice to
uout arms or Join the revolutionary
'orcos ' and they chose the latter as their
choice. The report , however , Is not credited
ic re , ni no oftlclal news has been received of
such an occurrence. If Gnrza had 150 men
: oROthcr , a * , was acknowledged by the ofllclat
: olograin a few days since , .ho might capture
forty regulars.
Captain Pollock , commander of Fort Me-
[ ntosh , at this point , In of the opinion that
.ho ravolutlon < hns seen Its palmiest days and
that Hula more trouble will ho experienced
with Its followers. Ho States that both sides
of the HIo Grande are so patrolled with
American nnd Mexican troops that Garza nnd
his follower. * will hnvo little chance to act.

Four Unxo , f. T. , Deo. 30. Tno Messiah
craze has broken out afresh among the
Cheyenne1 ; and Arapahoas , aad not a llttlo
anxiety Is felt. While it is qulot enough
nour the reaorvation buildings , dancing has
been going on nmong the hills for several
days and the crnzo is apparently spreading.
The loaders are Whirlwind and Old Crow of
the Cheyennos and Left Hand , the head
chief of the Ar.'tpahoos.
At llrst the gathering was small , but In
dians hnvo been streaming Into the camp
until now tlieru are from 1,000 to l,2uj (
present. They declare that the Messiah , who
Is to expel the whites , bring back tbo buffalo
and restore their huntinir grounds to the
Indians , is soon coming nnd that the "ghost
dance" will bo kept up day and night until
ho nrrlvoi.
Hunnors have como In from Walker's Lake
In Novadh inciting the Inuians to activity ,
and predicting the early appcarunco of the
Messiah. The ghost dance goes on day and
night , the Indians being divided into relays ,
ono party relieving another as fatigue over
comes thoin. All are provided with ghost
o'jlrts and seem terribly In earnest. Scouts
report that wild whoops and yells can bo
heard at all hours of the da > and night from
the hills whore the tribes have gathered.
As yet the oxcltomcmt nas not reached the
Comanchns , but it is feared that they too
may become Involved. This Is regarded as
a serious danger , as the Coiranches have an
ample supply of wmic * in which the Choy.-
0111104 and Arap.ihoos are deficient. All are
well armed with Winchesters and revolvers.
The nfllceri of most experience in Indian
warfare riro not Inclined to believe that any
Ronous outbreak will occur at present , as
the Indian ? have a horror of winter cam
paigns , but the excitement may causa them
to depart from their usual practice of making
war only wheu there Is plenty of grass for
their ponies.

The decision of ttio Now York court of ap

to tbo democrats Open tocnntcal Irregularities
In the ballots is iho general topic of comment
among Washlnpton politicians todav. Its ef
fect upon national politics will bo far from
unimportant. In the first place It takes thu
last semblance of locul patronage from Now
York republicans and-corro pondin ly weak
ens the republican machinery In Now York
Cltv. Whatlsof moro Importance , itassuros
a rodlstricting nnd gerrymandering of Now

many expects tocaiu at loan thrco congrass-
moti In Now York City. In addition It ns-
mires n cnungo In senatorial nnd assembly
districts which will assure th < 5 selection 6f a

Sprinjjer Taken O'lama.
Chairman Spriirgor took possession today
of Iho ways and moans commltloa room re
cently occupied by Major MoKlnloy. Ills
llrst olllciai act was to order the detachment
of the anteroom formed last congress out of
Iho south entrance and which , in previous
vours , had boon known ns the woman's wait
ing room. The character of the females who
congregated tboro was such that Speaker
Keoil and MajorMcKlnloy joined In boarding
up the entrance and making the place r. con
sulting room for the committee on ways and
moans and relegating all women who desired
to see momburs to tbo glare and light of
statuary hall.
It Is needless to say that the numbers de
creased very materially at oncu. Mr. Spring
er's ' action will reopen the old corri
dor with ils sot tooi and harridans
nnd liao of foraalo lobbyists. Mr. Springer's
second move was to appoint his son clerk of

Ntitioiiul U.inkora' Combination.
National banks have begun lo increase
their circulation , through the medium of the
2 per cent bonds , at n pace which promises to
put the low interest-bearing bonds up to a
premium. The 3 per cents are all old 4f per
cent bonds extended , It will bo remembered.
Four or live years ago , when an eminent
Now York banner came down to Washington
and proposed the displacement of tbo 4 and
l } $ per cent with the 2 per cent bonds , to run'
a long period of years , he was laughed aad
almost hooted at. iet ho contended that the
a per cent bonds , would bo readily taken up
by investors. Even when Secretary Foster
proposed to extend thu 4J < j per cents when
they became duo , September last , to make
them pay but 2 per cent , ho was admonished
against any such attempt.
Ho was told that money was worth from 4
to S per cent throughout the country , and
that people would not take a bond which
drew but 3 per cent , despite the fact that it
was free from taxes , and was not nt nil likely
to depreciate. ' At llrst the bankers , who
wanted to use the bonds as a basis of circu
lation , wcro a llttlo chary about taking hold
of Iho bonds. Finally they began to take
thorn up and when thirty days had passed
ever the period when the 4 } < ? per cents were
to bo redeemed , about one-third of their en
tire issue had boon accepted by the bankers.
Now more than one-half of the issue has
been taken up and there nro , It Is said , not
moro than W.000,000 or $ .1,000,000 worth of
thorn in the bands of these who have no
preference ns to cither the cash or an oxton- .
sion.
During the past week the bonds wont up
to a premium of one-half of 1 per cent.
Bankers say that they will fluctuate and
the market price will go down to par from
tlmo to tlmo , but that , on the average there
will bo a rospectabla premium upon thorn.
Profit bio Investments.
Bankers say there Is a profit in the In
crease of their circulation by the use of tbo
now " per cent bonds , which with all expenses
paid amounts to about 1.S5 per cent. There
Is today n llttlo moro prollt In the Increase of
bank circulation by the use of 4 per cent
bonds ot current prices , but the liability of
fluctuation in these bonds has made bankars
cautious about their uso. During the past
few weeks the 4s have depreciated to an
extent which brought n demand from the
Treasury department for the "covering" of
the deficits , und tbo banks which have bonds
deposited to secure United States dapoMts
have JUKI to Increase their deposits of bonds
on account of the depreciation In the proportion
tion of $10,000 for each f 100,000 , of deposits
from the United States.
There has boon nothing of moro vital Inter
est to the business men , during the past few
months than the study of the fluctuations of
the bond martlet , and the work of the na
tional banks respecting tlio increase and de
crease of their circulation. The action of
the secretary In regard to the extension of
the 4).j ) per cent bonds , now known as the
now ' 's , has demonstrated beyond uny uoubt
the fiie' that the government can ( lent a bond
at par which pays but U par cent. It U be
lieved that should ' the L'a push up to u
premium of 1 p'er cent or stand llrm at one-
naif of ono per cent congress will take stops
during tha next year or two toward the sub
stitution of its bonded Indebtedness by tha
issue of a clean 2 per cent bond to run from
fifty to lOOycurs , redemption of'cour.-to at the
pleasure of the government for say twenty
years. Never In the history of the United
States has the credit of the federal govern-
mcnt stood so high us ut present , dosplto the
fuel that most duspernto efToits were made
by the democrats for moro than n year prior
to last December to OHUSO n "run" on the
government's credit aim pull it down to n
disastrous point.

ST. Louis , Mo. , Dos , 33. The leader of the
gang who robbed the Adams ICxpress mes
senger , Mulrcnnan. on the -Frisco road at
Glendnlo , a suburb of St. Louis , on the night
of November * 80 , Is under arrest ; n fomnle
accomplice in also in custody nnd the
capture or the romaludor of the gang seems
only n matter of tlmo.
The loader turns out fo bo Albert Sly , n
noted convict from the Missouri penitentiary.
The latest series of exploits by Sly and his
fellow bandits began with the robbery of
tbo street car barns at Omaha in October , In
which they used dynamite and secured a largo
amount of money. They cojninlttod n rob
bery on the Metropolitan street car barns In
Kansas City in the same mouth , and then
came the robbery of the Pacltlo Express
company on the Missouri Pacific near Omaha
on the night of November 4 , nnd the Amer
ican Express robbery near Western Union
Junction , Wis. , on tbo night of November 12.
In nil of those robberioiSly figured as n
leader , and their engine of war almost Invar
iably was dynamite.
After the robbery ftt Western Union Junc
tion William A. Pinkorlon found out that
Sly. In 1S33 , whllo acting ns driver for- the
American Express company nt St. Joseph ,
Mo. , defaulted with n paolcago containing
$ JO,000. At that time , nftor a long search ,
Sly was apprehended In California by the
Pinkortons. IIo was returned to Missouri
nnd sentenced to seven years In the Missouri
penitentiary ut Jefferson City. On coining
out it was learned that Sly became associated
with a gang of rouglt burglars , who made
their headquarters around Kansas City and
Omaha. On the theory that Sly was possibly
concerned in the robbery nt Western Union
Junction the Pinkortons qtilotly befcan an
investigation towards locating Sly nnd suc
ceeded in tracing him to St. Louis a few
davs , previous to the Glendale robbery on the
'Frisco road.
Tips from a Furniture SI MI.
Pmuorton's force and the force of Chief of
Polieo Harrlgan of St. Louis soon joined
hands , and some days nftor the Glendale
affair Chlof Harrigan received valuaolo In
formation from a furnlturo dealer , who fur
nished houses on the installment plan , con
cerning n woman and four mon renting a
liouso on Swan avenue in St. Loots , on the
outskirts of the city. This furniture man
hud fitted up the house on Swan avenue and
the people occupying the same bad myster
iously disappeared after the robborv , leaving
the turnituro and everything behind them.
This Chlof Harrlgan investlsittcd very care
fully , and it was found thut the house had
bcon occupied by a blonde woman , supposed
to bo the wife or mistress of ono of the four
mon. They disappeared from the house
three days after the Glendale robbory.
Their baggage was traced to tbo depot and
tbo check numbers showed that they were
all bound wast.

Omnhn , whore the parly split up , taking up
different routes west. Chief Hnrrleau's men
managed to got accurate descriptions of the
fugitives and Slv's identity was fixed beyond
n question , as also the identity of the woman
connected with the gang. Uobort A. Pinkerton -
ton nt this time was in California nnd on the
eve of acpnrturo for the east , but remained
and assisted the San Francisco police , who
bud bocn communicated with.

Slv had , it was ascertained , gene bv way
of Denver to Southern California. With this
information U. A. Piukerton wont nt once to
San Diego and searched that nlnco thor
oughly , then going to Los Angeles , arriving
there a week ago. For sovonil days Ii3 kept
up n search of the saloons , gambling houses
nud places of .bat kind without success.
Through a breakage on the railroad there
bad been no mail delivered for three days at
Los Angeles , and on Saturday last Mr. Pinkerton -
erton , accompanied by Hess Whlttakor of
tbo San Francisco dotoctlvo force , and an
ofllcer of Los Angeles , took up u watch in the
postoftlco and express ottlcos nt that point.
All three were furnished with photographs
and accurate descriptions of Slv. On the
afternoon of Saturday Mr. Pinkerton ob
served a man In the postoflico at Los Angeles
who answered the description of Sly and resembled -
somblod the old photo which ho had closely.
Tapping him on tfao shoulder and stopping
up and taking his hand , BO that ho could not
attempt to u o a gun , ns Sly is n desperate
character , Mr. Pinkerton addressed him by
the naino of Sly.
Arrested In lias Aii olo3.
Sly denied his Identity , nnd said his numo
was' A. S. Donton. That settled it in Mr.
Pinkorton's mind at once , for Slv's right
name Is Adolbort Denton Sly. Ho was at
once taken into custody nud searched. In
his possession was found 3,000 und a lot of
personal property , and on his uorson was
found the gold watch taken prom the person
of Messenger Mulronnan of the Adams Express -
press , after ho had boon injuroa by the ex
plosion of dynumllo at the robbery November
HO , ut Glendulo , Mo. Sly tried to throw the
watch away , but It was recovered by Pinker-
ton.
ton.Sly's arrest was kept very qulot until to
day , with n view of getting some of the bal
ance of the gang. Sly refused to inako any
statement wbntovor. Knowing full well thut ,
being nn ox-convict in the Missouri ponnttou-
tiary , his next Imprisonment , if con
victed , means lifo.

On Doiombor U Detective Kouorll tor-

about to return c\\st no received n t < \ - m
from Chlpf of Police Ilarrlgan of Stt . . is
stating that the latter bollovod t\ " W
the Glendale robbers were out i
coast. Sub equontir similar Infu
tion was wired to ChJof of > uiit <
Crowley , giving n description of the men.
Among other things the dtaputch ftUktod it
trunk had boonftuippod to Oakland , Cal , , to.
Marlon Uodpath , but It was addressed to
Florence Waterman , a woman supposed to
bo th robber's wife. At the rcqnoitof
Chlof Harrigan , Chief of Detectives Lee.s ,
Crowlov and Pinlwton were nskod to cooperate
erate In n search for the robbers. From
further In formation received from Harrlgan
it was learned that ono of the men could oo
found at Los Ar.golos. Pinkcrton nnd De
tective Whlttakor therefore proceeded to that
city and there found Albert Denton Sly , ono
of the robbers , conducting n saloon. After
his arrest upon hH parson was found a watoh
stolen from Express Messenger Mulroniuiu.
whoso oar was also robbad of from $10,000 to
$10,000 In coin.
G.ivo Thuin a Ijlvoly Clunp.
Whlttaxorand Pinkerton came up from
Los Angeles Sunday evening with Sly In
cliar.-o. They were mot at Modesto by Captain -
tain Lees , nnd Sly consented to go right on
cast without waiting extradition papers.
Menu whllo the detectives kept a lookout for
the trunk which In '
was Wolls-Fargo's express -
press onieo , Oakland. The publication of a
telegram tolling of Sly's capture by Pinkerton -
ton , it Is thought , put Heilpath on his guard
and forced him tosook .seclusion , but yester
day the ofllcors were rewarded by seeing
Florence Waterman walk Into the Wolls-
Fartro ofllco nnd Inquire for the trunk. Not
finding It , owing to the polieo having seized
it , the woman loft the express olllco and
gnvn the ofllcors a lively chose , though It was
mining hard. She was dually arrested and
brought to this city , whore Captain Lees
questioned her todav. Captain Lees says
thnro was clothing In the trunk , but declines
to go Into details con corn I tig thu contents.
IIo donl s that she gave any Information ro-
gardlng the suspected men , but pays another
effort will oo made to induce her to tell what
she must know.
An Omaha iMnn linpllo itcd.
The ether men associated with Sly in the
robbery are equally desperate and equally
well known to the police. Marion Ucdpnth ,
whoso wife or mistress was today arrested in
San Francisco , was llrst connected wHU the
affair by the local detoctlvo lorco under
Chief Desmond. In the use of explosives ,
etc. , to complete the work of iho robbery at
Glcndalo certain distinctive methods were
observed which coupled the robbers with a
gang which had bcon com.nittliiR safu rob
beries In the vicinity of St. Louis , In both
Illinois and Missouri. Tracing these marks
down It was found that n man answering
Kodpath'A description was arrested in a
small Illinois town tor n safe cracking job ,
but was released. This confirmed tbo detec
tives' suspicions und they are now satisfied
that Hcdpath Is the man who handled the
dynamite for the Glendale affair. Red path
has done tlmo In the Missouri penitentiary
for grand larceny committed in Cooper
county , and has relatives now residing at
Plsgab , Mo.
Another man whom the detectives want
for the robbery , but who Is still at largo , Is
T. It Wilson of Omaha , n man of notorious
capractor who has buen concerned in several
affairs , but has always managed to escape
prison. Wilson's ' brother , C. F. , is also
known as a bard character. Whether ho
was concerned In this crime cannot bo defi
nitely stated , though the detectives will not
lese sight of him for a tlmo at any rate.
Coming down to a basis of figures , the
detectives beltevo that live men were con
cerned In the robbory. Sly Is under arrest.
Rod path is known to have been one of the
gang , nnd Wilson too. This leaves two men
yet to bo""fouridpnnd" t'is nssorted'thatitho' '
search for thorn will bo pursued ns relent
lessly hs over and until they are in prison.
The woman oauglu lit San Franoisco Is
known to have been the housekeeper in the
house rented hero und alroadv referred to.
She has numerous aliases , but is bollovod to
have passed under the name of Maggie
Williams.
