THE REyOLUrIoSisr MoyEMENr-Ts LEADER, IN
TENT AND MEANS.
On the i7tn OF October last Joqun Fernandez, .
crazy Drained politician, followed by a few Nlcara-
gences and Sairadorens backed by another OF the
same class, Ventura Carrasi, who was to furnish
men, &C.. IRON san Salvador, attacked the bar

Arenas and TOOK possession OF the place, after
Killing and woundlng the small force, who nobiy
dele ended 1t in nand-to-hand light as the sentinel
betrayed his trust.
This occurred at three O'Clock in the morning.
The revoutionlsts Immediately sent an expedition
to the town OF Liberia, with money stolen from the
national bank in Punta Arenas and bribed few
OF the guard OF the barracks. Fernandez was
foolish enough to think that the government OF
Guardia was not strong enough 70 sustain itself:
that once taken the small towns O! the whole
country would rise up and proclaim him President
confined to his debtors. Ills intentions were to
hold Punta Arenas and Liberia until the arrival
OF Carrasi with men from salvador and then make
triumphant entry into the capital. But he soon
found out his mistake On the arrival OF the ne VS.

were some 5000 volunteers under arms. ready to

THE MAN WHO WAS THREATENED BY THE IN

The fact OF the matter is General Guarlia is a
man whose whole soulls wrap ed up IN the future

LESSONS IN POLITICS.
This revolution VIII satisfy the world that OF all
the Central American States Costa Rlca is the
only one that can thoroughly crush out such nler-
cenary ATTEMPTS TO DISTURB her Internal tranquil

her soil from lOreign Invasions. AS for The popu-
arIty oil Guardla's admlnist ration, this is proven
by the coniented condition OF such a large number
Oi honorable citizens OF all classes. This throws
the lie in the teeth oil the lew dlscontented grlm-
blers who would sell their country ior dollars. Tne
so-caled patriots oI Costa Rlca are composed OF
class OF merchants who now owe more in Europe
than they can ever discharge. SO they want TO

succeed but II not, to cry out that tney innO-

not tie nfst Revolutionary attempt OF Fernandez.
HIS nrst was against the administration or De
