LOUISVILLE, Ky. Dec. 2S.-The ques-
ton of fuel supply in the Ohio Valley
is regarded by some as becoming very
serious one. The long-continued drouth
and the probability of its continuance
with the small stocks of coal from Pitts
burg, the main source OF supply, is caus-
ing much anxiety among those who
failed. earlier in the winter. to make
provision. There is no probability,
however, of coal famine such as has
been expected. Louisville consumes
daily upon an average, 10000 bushels.
Ordinarily by far the greater portion Of
this is Pittsburg, but at present all of the
dealers of the city together do not hold
in stock more than ZOO bushels OF
Pittsburg coal, and it requires ten-foot

against the government of Gen. Barillas
for having proclaimed a dictatorship,
June 49, lately suffered a most humili-

tacions, one working from the Eastern
department and the other from the
Weston, the former under the general
ship of Castana, the latter in
charge of several known military
men of the republic. In a range
mountains near Guatemala few days
ago, a desperate battle was fought be-
tween the federal and revolutionary
forces, the latter suffering almost com
plete annihiaton. The battle was fierce
and sanguinary from the commence
ment and lasted over two hours, the
field being strewn with dead. At the
conclusion Castana was routed and the
other revolutionary generals were cap
tured and shot This ends one of the
most bloody wars the country has ever
seen. The republic now enjoys peace.
