A Terrible Riot at San Miguel.

PANAMA, July S.-Advices from San
Salvador state that dreadful riot took
place at San Miguel, a town Of forty
thousand inhabitants in the southern
part OF the Republic. A great deal Of dis.
content has been excited against the gov.
ernment by its refusal to allow a pas.
torial OF the Bishop Of San Salvador, in
hostility to the law, 10 be read in the
churches. There had been considerable
hostile feeling among the lower classes,
A priest named PalaciOs preached Vio-
lent sermon against the constituted au-
thOrity on Sunday, the 2Oth ult. That
evening the mob arose and attacked the
cadillac and liberated some two hundred
prisoners. They then proceeded to as
sault the small garrison and took the
quartet, killed Gen. Espineas and Cartro,
cut the former to pieces and threw the
pieces at each other, They split the skull
Of Gen, Castro and threw him over wall
where he was picked up by his mother,
and he died three days after. The gar
rison were nearly oil assasinated and
many prominent citizens killed, After
this the fanatic mob fired some sixteen
houses with kerosene. Before the town
was entirely destroyed Her British
Majesties ship, Fontome, was at the land
ing; when she landed her marines who al
lowed the garrison there to unite with
some troops from Aurepala in Honduras
10 march to the relief Of San Miguel and
put down the mob. The Curate Palacios
at last accounts was arrested, with others
that had participated in the outbreak, and
a good many Of the inferior rioters had
been shot by order Of President Gonzales
Gabsell, who had arrived with troops.
With the houses destroyed and pillaged,
the damage Is estimated at 81 100000, and
commercial failures are looked for in
consequence, The country has been de-
clOred in a state Of siege, and President
Gonzales is taking measures to establish
order and bring the perpetrators Of this
disgracetul outbreak to punishment.
The DiariO, official paper Of the State,
and all the public prints, abound in In
dignation against the priests who were
the instigatOrs Of this savage and san
culinary affair, and the Capelutar Vicar
for the edict published by his order, and
Jose Manuel Palacios, ex.canonigo oil the
cathedral Of San Salvador. The munich.
pality OF this city asked to have said
PalaCios removed, but the Curia Ecclesi-
astia paid no attention to the petition.
He was continually exciting hatred be.
tween the lower and the well 10 do classes,
and the result has Just been described.
One 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 passports
which read when translated: "Peter,
open to the bearer tho gates Of heaven,
who has died for religion" Signed,
George, Bishop OF San Salvador, and
sealed with the seal Of the Bishopric Of
San Salvador.

New HAVEN, July 17.-Prof. Marsh
pronouhces The attempted explanation
published yesterday BY Commissioner
Smith, In regard to affairs at Red Cloud
Agency, d characteristic trick Of the In
dian Bureau, The old report cited by
the Commissioner Is the only one OF d
large number on file in the Interior De.
paflment that was favorable, and II IL
now we'll known that the Special Commits.
sion who made II, owing to the short
time they we're at the agency, were
mistaken on several points, and some
at least Of these gentlemen have
since informed the Interior Department
to this ellGcs. The reports refers to a
different set Of transactions from those
observed by Prof. Marsh, and his investi.
cations had no connection whatever with
those made by this Commission, or any
other. To attempt to meet his evidence
by quoting an old report Is entirely
avoiding the real issue, and misleading
the public. The charges Prof. Marsh has
made are distinct and specific, and are
supported by Independent testimony.
Until these charges, which effect the De.
partment "a well as Agent SaVile, are
disposed Of, the Professor thinks a gen.
cral denial by the Commissioner will
avail but little.

INC FalIures Thus Far ln ls70.

AhC ENAA4Eep AAuH EuE AN @SeS'
At first glance the condition Of things
throughout the country does not look
hopeful in a business point of view. The
failures for the first half Of 1870 were
greater in unmber, and almost aS great
in the way Of liabilities Us those ot the
first half Of 1874, They foot up 3,377
and amount to S74,94O,s69. The failures
Of West Virginia are not given separate
ly. Virginia and West Virginia together
foot up 1903, and amount to 81 ,3sS,6S4.
The conclusion arrived at by Dean
Barlow & Co., in their circular just Is
sued, Is that the expectations INDUCED in
last January that great business revival
was close at hand have not been realized,
and that merchants as rule are still do
ing business without making profits The
faCt that the failures in Great Britain
during the past three months have far
exceeded those Of the United States for
six months affords no consolation, since
business disasters in one great country
can do no good, but must do harm to
other countries; but the fact shown is that
other countries than ours have overtrad-
ed and produced in excess Of the legiti-
mate demands OF the markets. The cir
Cular concludes by taking a somewhat
hopeful view Ofthe future, saying;
"The reports from all the chief Centers
OF trade indicate much that il encour.

tlral product will accomplish toward q
restoration Of prosperity will certainly

and debt paying power OF the people in

be provoked during the autumn in re-
plenishing the small stocks Of merchan.

agricultural success may be needed to re-
store universal prosperity. Expectation
founded upon that basis has already led
to disappointment But whatever else
