The New President OF Guatemala.


San Francisco, April ioth.-A pro1ni.
nent merchant, who has intimate nercan-
tile relations with the Cr<ntral American
States, said to a ren-,rter to-day that the
new PRESIDENT III Guatemala, General Man
uel Llz2,.-.rdro Barrlllas is about 50 years Of
age. He is son of the Governor of the
northern province of Guatemala, and was
made General by Barrios, whom he fire.
Guently accompanied on his campaigns
and tours. He has always been in close
sympathy with the aims OF the late Presl-
dent. 1t is not believed, however, that he
is man Of resolute character like BarriOs,
or that he is rs aggressive soldier as his
late friend and predecessor. He is land
owner in comfortable circumstances, and
comes of family that stands well in
Guatemala, although it docs not rank
among the highest. II is thought in this
city that the new President viii be unable
to withstand the influence which San Sal
vador will now exert upon affairs at
Guatemala.
