participated in the outbreak, and n
good many of the inferior rioters had
been shot by order Of President Coma
les, who Ind arrived with troops. With
tho houses destroyed and pillaged, the
damage is estimated ut 81 1000, 600, and
commercial failures are looked for in
consequence. The country has been de-
c!ared ID state of siege, and President
Gonzales is taking measures to establish
order and bring the perpetrators of this
ment. The Diario, official organ of the
State, and all the public prints, abound
In indignation against the priests who
were the instigators of this savage anil
sanguinnry affair. The Ccpilutar Vicar,
Tor the edict published by his order, and
jose Manuel Palacios, eX-Canoniga Of the
Cathedral of San Salvador, and the mu-
nlclpality of this city, asked to have the
said Palacios removed, but the Curia Ec-
ciesiastia paid no attention to the pcti-
ton. He was continually sowing hatred
between the lower and wcll-to-slo classes.
and the result has just been described.
Ono curious and incredible discovery
was made after the murderous affair was
over, and that was that on the persons of
some OF the dead rebels were found pass
ports, which read, when translated:
..Peter, open to the benrer the gates of
Heaven, who has died for religion.
Signed, George, Bishop of San Salvador.

their attorney. In his letter volunteer
ing MS services, hfr. johnson says: "AIy
motive for making this offer was this,
that from the ground on which under
stood the suits have been brought, 1
thought That the public interest WAS con-
cerned, md that the freedom md useful
ness OF the public press were involved.
Ihls belnS my Impression, I cannot
ngree to receive any pecuniary compen-
sation. Owing to the high official and
equally high social character and repu-
tatlon OF the plaintiffs, there can be no
nkellhood OF compromise or settlement
short Of decision of legal tribunal;
the official conduct of these gentlemen
being involved on the one part in these
cases, and the extent of the right and
Liberty of the press to criticise and
charge corruption to public officers on
the other" The suits have already at
