ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
New YORK, July 22.-The World has
the following from a New York cores
pendent: A gentleman who lately came
from Mazatlan, via San Francisco, tells
me there were several passengers on the
steamer who said that Barrios could not
have left Guatemala alive if it had been
known that he intended to leave the coun-
try, to take with him his ill-gotten wealth.
One of his fellow passengers had been
United States Secretary of the legation at
Guatemala, and he told the most shocking
stories of Barrios' outrages. One was
took with him to Guatemala $4,000 to
invest in a coffee plantation. Barrios
threw him on the flimsiest pretense into
prison, and for a time refused to release
him, except upon his paying a large part
of his money as a ransom. This he posi-
lively refused to do, and finally, with the
aid OF the Secretary, succeeded in getting
his release, and he returned with his
money to San Francisco. This Secretary,
the gentleman says, is going to Washing

authorities there.

returning by another, another fare.
