A IJlABOLICAL PLOT.
\ scheme of Guatelnalan COnspfratOrs to
Gain Control of the Government.

\ most diabolical plot to overthrow the
Government was recently discovered in
Guatemala. 1t was Il scheme to sc, fire to
the Grand Hotel and theatcr at a given
time when there might be expected to be
full house. In the panic which would Ger.
ta1nlv ensue it was the intention OF the
conspirators TO take possession of the bar
racks without any great risk to tothemselves;
then to murder President Rarrellos and
his family; next to attack all foreigners,
and finally to sack the city. Fortunately
the plans of the conspirators were revealed
in time to prevent contamination. The
discovery OF the plan led to the arrest OF
fifty persons, including some colonels in
:he army, and they are now undergoing
trial for their reasonable designs.

Assets-real estate, scheduled at 100000;
notes and other securities (semi-assets, and
