CENTRAL AMERICA.

! PANAMA, Sept. 5.-~On tho thtrtietb of A,,.
| gust u disturbance took place In tho town oi
| Ahuhchapan, Salvador. which had for Its OBJ
! ject what appears to have been an act OF per-
| sonal vengeance rather than serious polttI-
| cal movement,
| Gen. Lopez, who has figured In various no.
s1tions In the republic, had excited the hostil-
| .ttty OF various employees and ex-employes Of
his assassination, which unfortunately,
through the agency of an officer In Quartet.
was carried to u successful termination.
Among those Implicated In the movement are
Don Manuel Memo, two officers named Cen,
who were tho actual assassins, and Don Fario
Moran. the latter appearing TO be the leading
spirit In the tragedy.
The cornmandont OF Quartet was placed
under arrest by the copsprators and carried
to Guatemala. Wnen they fled they also
helped themselves to oil the public funds
available; took possession of the telegraph
office at Ahuachapan and at Iqultizaya aud
cleared across the border. In this they were
assisted by the Governor Of the district and
the administrator Of Hacienda, of the de-
partlnent, who abandoned their posts and re-
sponsibilities.
AS soon as the facts were known to tho
government. forces were sent from Santanora
and Sonsate, and possession WIS taken of
Quartet and the public Offices, without oppo-
siton. and quiet and order were ut. once re-
established. From all parts OF the republic
offers Of help were made to the government,
snoulu III appear tnGt any organized attempt
would be made to overthrow the lawful au-
thorittes. This, however, was not attempted,
the criminals combining themselves to the acts
OF assassination and robbery referred to.
On reaching the soil OF Guatemala the f,l-
gitives were captured by Gen. Pimental, who
had received orders from President Barlios
to that effect, whose energetic action pre-
vented any union of the party with their
supporters In Guatemala.
The president OF Salvador, however, did
fha nrf,, I.t
with all the severity which the exigency de-
manded, and issued general amnesty to all
who, for political motives had taken part In
the affair, reserying for the judicial tribunals
of the country the trial and punishment of
all other offenders against the law.
The Mexican government has warned Gov. |
Barrios OF Guatemala, of the attempt of |
Roman Uriarte. late GuatemaIan minister to |
Mexico. to raise an insurrectlon on the from
,ler,, and has ordered Uriarte away from the
