mala:
GUATEMALA, Nov. 2. 1889
Or. Cruz.
There is no trouble at all here Everything is
quiet. The relations among the Central Ameri-
can governments are most friendly. Rumors
OF revolution are only spread by the enemies OF
the present notorious progress Of the republic
Please publish emphatic denial of such malicious
rumOrs. BARILLAs.
DIR. CRUZ's DENIAL.
DR.. Cruz said tonight that the reports of
revolution on the Mexican frontier against
the government of Gen. Barillas, president
of Guatemala, and of the trouble between
Guatemala and Salvador, were entirely
false.
RIOT IN SANTA ROSA
He said that in October a riot occurred at
Mataquescuintla, in the department of
Santa Rosa, which lies in the opposite
direction from the Mexican frontier. This
riot was completely suppressed in a few
days without assuming any serious char
acter and without result of any material
consequence.
Nothing added Minister Cruz, "could
be more absurd than the reported trouble

according to authentic news at hand, the
congress of the Central American states
has been in session in Salvador since Sept.
is, and the delegates thereto approved IN
the early part Of October, the basis sub
mitted for their future peaceful union
through the federal government, without
impairing in the least the independence of
each OF the states.
PEACEFUL AND PROSPEROUS.
''The present condition of Guatemala is
peaceful and most prosperous. This was
evidenced only short time ago when the
government obtained on the most favorable
terms a large sum of money for in

of Guatemala and of its government
who have interest in spreading false reports
of trouble among the Central American
states. of revolutions which exist only in

such preposterous and malicious reports,
and everyone should know that there is not
a word of truth in them, and that
Guatemala is peaceful, progressive, and
enterprising country which is now on the
road to most valuable conquests in the

THE OFFENSIVE SPEECH.
Col. Miner is Californian, and was ap-
pointed by this administration minister to
the Central American states. He may lose
his official head. In his official speech in
presenting his credentials in Costa Rica he
is quoted as having said: 1.-THE states Of
Central America must unite. A strong
federal government is your only
salvation. Colombia is massing her troops
on the southern border of Costa Rica.
Mexico has a covetous eye on Guatemala.
1t will be only short time before Colombia
will seek to seize your state, aud Mexico
will seize Guatemala. Central America
will be blotted from the map of independ-
ence and her identity sunk in that of
Colombia and Mexico. The time is drawing
near, and only the most energetic action in
federating Central America can save your
