Central American Complications.

Gen. L. B. Bunting of New York, who some
years ago held a prominent position in tho
army OF Guatemala, has just received a letter
from an American gentleman living in Guate-
mala, which throws much light on the Central
American complications. Tic letter which is
dated Guatemala, March IL, after speaking of
Barrlos' announcement of his desiynto consol-
ldate the five republics, says:
AS Salvador now sends ambassadors to dis
cuss, and perhaps to arrange matters to make
common cause, Barrios has deferred offensive
operations. Still, not to be taken unawares
he has dispatched las they say 10000 troops
to the frontier. 1 think the number NAV be
exaggerated, but troops are leaving every day.
and a large amount of ammunition
etc, Is being sent forward. Volunteers
come pouring in from all quarters, without the
necessity of returning the fees, y for this man
mas, as he alone can do, impaired his magnet
ism to the people. Many foreigners are offer
ing their servises, and things are being pushed
with a vigor and energy that leaves doubt of a
speedy and glorious termination of the conflict
Bsrrios sees all, understands all, orders all.
With a memory that sta ggcrs at nothing, a per-
ception as quick as lightning, a mental scupe
taking in everything at a glance, personal
bravery amounting to temerity, a cool head
that never loses its Judgment, and an energy
mat KNOWS no tailoring, he compels success,
and will, before many months roll around
make of this weak, disintegrated country a
sohd, strong, prosperous republic.

The Fight Batween Riel's Forces and the
Police.

A correspondent learns the following con-
corning the fight between Riel's forces and the
police and citizen soldiers on Thursday, March
~ The story is direct from half breeds who
were present. Learning that the force was On
route for Duck Lake, mounted half breeds.
twenty in number started to raconnoiter. They
met a force of 100 men police ana citizens
IN sleighs, and the half-breeds scat
tered Crozier, IN command of the police,
thought an effort was being made to sur.
round him and ordered his men to fire.
seeing half,breeds falling dead at the first
hre, his followers returned the shots with
much execution. The fight was short
put hot The half-breed, who tells the
story, counted thirteen dead on the
field. When the police returned the
route to Fort Carlton was traced with blood.
The half.breeds lost four killed, and one In
dian not in the fight was accidentally shot. An
other story of the half. breeds side of the fight
is told. 7. W. jackson, member of the terrific.
nal council, says Gabriel Dumas, one of R!el's
heutenants, told him Crozier was coming tn
take supplies from Duck Lake. Dumas took
thirty mounted men armed with Reminctons
and met Crozier's force a few miles from the
spot where the trail enters a coolie and
bluffs. Both parties stopped. The half breeds
were ordered to scatter i'll the bush, in order
that they might not be SO much exposed.
Crozler thought a surround was attempted.
and fired first. The half breeds lost four Kill,
ieG and two wounded. Crozier had thirteen
Killed, who, according to the last story, were
LETT on the field. Both half breeds above in
terviewed assert that Riels orders are neve,
to fire first

Bulletin from Grants Bedside.

New York dispatch of the It'll says: Gen.
Grant is very moody at times. just before DR..
Shrady was leaving this afternoon a pleasant re-
mark was made about Grants improved condi-
ton over that of last week, and speculation fol-
lowed as TO his chances of ultimate recovery.
DR.. Douglass and Fret Grant were also in the
room. Tho general, with his head resting on
the back of his chair and his eyes closed, paid
no attention to the remarks for a while. Then
suddenly Frightening up, he said:
l. feel that my chances for getting we'll are
about one in a hundred even in the best. If
any OF you doctors can tell me how long a man
can live under water when he is drowning, I
can form some idea of what time | shall have
TO live when the next s~tranSling spell comes on,
If il ever does come on.
This uncertainty is what is weighing the
Gen. down now. Tho physicians have got
almost everything under control at present ex-
cept the patients spirits, which are very
despondent In the first place, the throat ap-
pllcatlons have been so successful that there
Is now no trouble in preventing accumulations
OF mucous such as annoyed the Gen. last week,
and brought on the coughing lit. He is gain
ing strength every day, and the examination of
the cancer this afternoon showed that it had
renamed stationary during the past three
Gays. AT the present rate it would not endan-
ger his life for two months at least The ply
slclans, therefore, are now directing their en-
erSles toward keeping up the sick mans
strength, and prevent a recurrence of the ey-
hausted condition of last week. On their sue
cess III this direction depends greatly the du-
ration of Gen. Grants life.

Marriage of the Mi;gets.

Mrs. Lavina S.ratton, better known as Mrs.
Tom Thumb, and the Count Primo Masri of
Bologna, Italy, were married at the church of
the Holy Trinity in Madison avenue, New York
recently. The church was filled to its utmost
by many of the most fashionable people of the
city. The bride wore a hiliotrope velvet frieze
corsege cut low. court train with gloves and
slippers 10 match. The ornaments consisted
of a diamond necklace ear endants and parure.
The CEREMONY was performed - Rev. Wilbur
+: Watkins. The response came in childish
Whispers half way down the aisle, and afterthe
ceremony a wedding breakfast was served at
Murray HUI hotel. Among Mra. STATIONS
presents is an estate in Italy given by the
groom, Incl they expect to visit within a few
weeks. Mr.. Barnum, who could not b. pres
cnt at the ceremony, sent ii diamond pin. The
design was that of Il large bee. A pure opal
formed its head, two little rubles parked in
Its eyes, It's body was a jewel of the same kind.
and Its wings were studded with diamonds.

Tho Attitude Of aarr,os.

Senior Batres, the minister from Guatemala,
recently returned to Washington from that
country. Several months ago he was sum
moned to Guatemala by President Barrios.
Minister Batres left Guatemala since the COM
mencement of hostilities i'll Central America,
and as he came direct from Barrois his utter
ances on the situation of affairs cannot fail to
have interest. In a recent conversation on
the acts and purposes of President Barlios,
Senator BatreS SAID:
AT last it is becoming apparent that the
greater part of all that has been alleged by the
enemies of the union of the Central American
states IL false and absurd. Some newspapers
here have positively asserted thatGen. Barrios
attemptedt to force the union from motives of
personal ambition, aud vet his proclamation
shows the contrary to be the fact, for in that
proclamation he pledges himself not to accept
the presidency otthe united republic. ltisa fact
that the constitution OF each of the five Central
American republlcs contains an article which
provides that these five states shall constitute
u single nationality when a union shall have
been proclaimed and sustained. How, then,
can 1t be truthfuliy asserted that G II. Barrios
has assumed the role of dictator? 1t has fur
Their been alleged and persistently maintained
that one of the principal objects of Barrios is
the Illustration of the Nicaragua canal project.
This allegation is without foundation i'll fact.
Barrios has always favored the canal project,
and has been an earnest advocate of tho treaty
negotiated between Nicaragua and the United
States, for the successful carrying out of this
enterprise. This fact is established by his let
tiers to the presidents of the respective states
of Central America. Those letters were written
in June last, ana copies will oe presented to
the state department here. They not only
m the canal project, but urge the ne
collation. of a treaty with the United States to
insure the rapid completion of the work. l
have copies of these letters. The first is a re-
ply to letters from President Cardinals of Mic
aragua, in which Cardinals solicited the opin-
ION and advice of Barrios on the proposition
of the United States to build the Nicaragua
canal.
