Lorenza Garcia, who commands the Mexican troops in the fleld in northern Mexico, which states that the detachment of Garza’s men who escapod across the border and were routed by Capt. Bourke encountered Mexican troops near Mier Wednesday and a sharp and decisive battle ensued, in which both sides sustained considerable loss, the number killed and in- jared not being given. ‘The defeated revoln- tionists mado their way immediately across the border into Texas. ‘There is a general shifting of United States troops taking place all along the river between Brownsville and Eagle Pass.

City cay- CATARINO GARZA. Catarino Garza is a young man. He isa native of Mexico, but was reared at Browns- ville, Tex., where, in his boyhood, he received ® fair education, although he was then so wild that it was generally predicted he would die with his boots on. Afterward he attended the University of Mexico, and npon his gradua- tion entered the army, in which he served untilan act of insubordination caused him to fly to the Texas side of the RioGrande. At Palo Pinto he married the daughter of a wealthy Mexican-S8paniard and started a fiery little paper which he called El Libre Pensador (The Free Thinker), in which he began his as- saults upon the Mexican government. Garza came first to public notice at Rio Grande City, where in a political altercation he shot a man named Sebree and, it is said, killed two customs inspectors. He himself was seriously wounded in the affray. After his re- covery he went to Laredo, Tex., and soon be- came involved in a quarrel over Gen. Martinez, who was afterward assassinated. Garza next fas dukes + Duval, Tex., where be started another ' even more fiery than the first, and where he had any number of quarrels and petty troubles, until at last he disappeared, turning up next at the head of his Quixotic expedition, which he thought was going to overthrow the Diaz government at a single stroke. His little army was met in the neighborhood of Nier by 700 Mexican troops aud Garza was routed after a brief battle. This was in September last. Since that time he has lived the life of an outlaw, fleeing from the Mexican authorities on one handand dodging United States troops on the other, for his expedition was a violation of in- ternational law which the United States could not overlook. Garza is a man of splendid phy’ :1e, six tect three in height, of fine militar; inge, and eyes which snap in anger or melt into dreamy tenderness, according to his mood. He is said to be akindly disposed man among faiends, but headstrong and quick of temper as well as ab- normally sensitive to personal insnit.
