AT 1885 DIR. Douglass stated that the Gen.
eral was feeling little better.
DIR. Shrady said this evening that he thought
General Grant might rally from the present
attack and live some time, as the recent at
tack was the result of trouble in the head
and not from an aggravated form of the dis
ease.
At IL 45 Senator Chaffee left Grants resi-
dence. He said the General had Just been
put TO bed, and that as compared with his
condition of "a hours ago, the General was
better. When asked if the physicians con-
sidered the patient out of danger, he said he
could not say that such was the case, bu, the
present condition was more favorable.

the house for the night, it being considered
necessary for only DIR. Shrady to remain.

The republican senators today held another

in innumersble difficulties promising at times
to bring out revision of the entire commit

In an interview TODAY, Senator Schultz
stated that he believed no large body of Ind.-
ans would Join Riel. because in 1870 he made
the strongest possible efforts to secure their
cooperation, but not a single Indian joined
his standard.

eanment Yesterday, Gen. Middleton stated
that Riel had not more than 500 real fighting
men hut he adds that they are well armed
and determined an mean mischief. He inti-
mates that he ill make dssh on the rebels
with the men now at his command.
special form of prayer WAS offered yes
terdsy in all the Anglican churches OF To-
ronto for the troops going TO the northwest.
1t Is reported at Quebec that an official at
Beaufort asylum states that Riel was an in
mate of that institution for two years. He
saws that Riel was not insane but was hiding
and that the government was fully aware of
his whereabouts at the time, though profess
ing not to be. There is a feeling at Quebec
that Riel has much greater object in view
than a halt-breei uprising and that his pres
ent acton is only for the purpose of drawing
Of the military from the frontier in order to
allow the fenians, with whom he is closely
connected, wider scope tor their operations.
At Halifax. the rebellion in the northwest
was referred to in several pulpits Yesterday,
and PRAYERS were offered tor the success OF

CENTRAL AMERICAN WAR.
Preparations for War Still Continue An
Explosion of Gasoline-Attack by the
Guatamala Forces on the Army Of San
salvador An Insult to the American
Flag.
CITY OLE Mexico. March 30


Troops have been drilled daily in military
tactics in the fields between Chapuitepec and
Tacubay, and government is making prepa-
rations 10 enable il, if n, cessary, ,
to msintain Its position against
President Barri0s by force of arms. TIE
proclamation of the minister of the interior,
that the reform of the laws must be strictly
enforced, has provoked the publication of q
violent artice in the Vas de Mexico, the lead
ing Catholic daily paper here. The article
accused the government of persecution. and
deties President Diaz, saying that the Catho-
lie party is composed of men without fear,
and that persecution will awake them from
their lethargy. 1t expresses eladness for the
reason that government has shown its true
colors.
An explosion of gasoline caused fire in a
cigar factory in this city, yesterday. The
fire was subdued within an hour. but during
its progress about ten employees were in
jured. In view of this disaster and that at
Puebia, which arose from similar cause. the
governor of the district has instructed the
police agents to examine all gasoline deposit
tories.

PANAMA. via. Galveston, March 80.
The steamer Colon was seized TODAY at
Aspinwall, by revolutioDists, and demands
made for ;he shipment of arms on board for
the revolution. The agents refused deliv-
cry. Mr.. Conger, local superintendent of
the Pacific Mail Co was first arrested, and
later the captain and purser of the steamer
was placed under arrest on board.
Subsequently,. Capt. Dow. general agent
OF the Pacific Mai Co, Mr. Wright, United
States consul. and alieutenant of the u s.
man-ot-war GaleHa. were arrested and
marched off tn Crnrtee. They were released
at six o'clock on condition the arms were
delivered, ard the delivery is now going on.
The American and English war ships did
nothing to protect foreign interests, because
the revolutionary chief declared tina. they
would resist their interference by force.
Amer can citizens are indignant at the insult
to the American flag and the outrage to their
property. Troops go from here to attack
the revolutioDists, who. however, are in
strong force, and with arms from Colon, will
probably be able to control events in their
own way and in their own interests.

numbers of the Indians our position is most
critical. Nearly all the police have been
Withdrawn TO Prince Albert, and the supply
of arms here is limited.

A quarrel which arose isst August over the
election of sheriff has grown a most bitter
feud, which has already caused severpl
tragedies. The trouble has been made a
political one, and one side or the other has
been espoused by nearly every citizen of the
county.
A short time ago a deputy sheriff was
killed and the county attorney was way laid
ard wounded. Other county officers have
fled the country. Since the murder of the
deputy sheriff there has been no county gov
erBment. The county Judge. sheriff marshal
and deputies are all gone. The county
clerk, Major Casey, who is non-combatant
and non-psrtissn, is the only ore left, and he
has received two or three warning. that be
