DiaZ,s Ambition,

A City of Mexico dispatch says: Gen. Bar
rundia, the Guatemalan exile resident there, is
receiving assistance from the Mexican govern
ment with view to fomenting a revolution in
his native country. That, in belief, is the sub
stance of what is being talked of in semi-oficial
circles. 1t is further asserted that money has
been furnished for the purchase at New York
of a quantity of arms for use in the revolution
airy movement, and that these arms are now
being shipped to Chiapas.
1t will be recalled that Gen. Barrundias
newspaper organ, FL Pa6eiLOn Nacionai, has had
much to say OF AN instruction in Guatemala
This is considered significant in view of the
plan which is now brewing, if the talk above
reported has a basis of fact. The proposed
movement in Guatemala is only one step, ac-
cording to the same authority, in a great move
ment which has for its ultimate object the
union of all the Central American states with
the republic Of Mexico. The ambition of Gen.
Diaz, it is said, is to become president or
dictator of all that lies between the Rio Grande
and the Isthmus of Panama.

A Woman Crushed to Death.

Mrs. Ruth Cromwell, ffty-fve years old, wife
of Thomas Cromwell Of liz West Esd street,
New York, was instantly killed ON the sidewalk
in front Of 127 West 46th street at O'Clock yes
terday afternoon by bale of straw that rolled
off a truck as she was passing. Truckman Jas.
Connolly of GIG West Saith street had brought
the load to the stable at l27 West 46th street
and was unloading it, assisted by John and
VIM. Lafey, brothers, of $50 West Seth street.
The bales were in tiers on the truck and at the
rear the upper tiers had been removed. One
of the men was on the top Of the load rolling
down the bales to the others on the tail OF the
truck and they rolled them of to the sidewalk
and into the stable. One bale rolled down from
the top with unusual force and took an extra
turn clear of to the sidewalk. Mrs. Cromwell
was passing with her umbrella raised. The
bale fell squarely upon her. When it was rolled
of she was dead, having been crushed and in
stantly killed.

Even the Sheep Get Drunk In Kansas.

FROM the chicago Herald.
Prohibition comes pretty near being failure
in Kansas. A traveller just from that state says
he had no trouble at all in getting all he wanted
to drink, though sometimes the beverage had
queer-sounding names. One thing he noticed
particularly, and that was the large amount Of
ginger ale that found circulation. In almost
any part of the state-and he was all over it
he found Milwaukee ginger ale for sale, and he
wondered thereat until accident showed him
that the bottles contained beer. The mystery
WAS explained. One of the funniest things he
saw, however, in the state in the way OF in
ebriety was on q sheep ranch. A man near
Manhattan owns large ranch, and buys whisky
by the barrel for the special benefit OF the
sheep. He uses il on them as an antidote for
rattlesnake bites, and IL works like a charm.
mathematics are very thick in that section, and
the herdsmen are obliged to be ON the con-
tinual lookout, or many of the sheep would be
killed The action of the poison on the sheep
is very queer. They soon after being bitten
stagger about and fall and then begin TO swell
up. When q herdsman sees a sheen fall he
PUSHES TO it and forces q quantity OF whisky
down its throat, until it becomes thoroughly
intoxicated. The traveller says it 10 no odd
thing to see dozen or more staggering about
the prairie with Jag" on that would make
an old hummer wild with envy.

HEALTH OF THE NAVY,
Figures from the Annual Report of
Surgeon General Browne.

The annual re-ort of Surgeon General
Browne to tho Secretary o. the Navy shows

1883, six more occurred during the year, four
by death and two by retirement. The trans
ference OF the medical examining board from

ment of another board at Mare Island has
been attended with gratifying results without
lowering the staLda, ! of proficiency in the
examination
GREATER NUMBER OF CANDIDATES
have presented themselves and twelve have
passed the examination. at present there are
eight vacancies in the corps and there is rea-
SON to believe that they will soon be filed

1,527 in hospitals and 2.l52 at navy yards and
shore stations. The daily average OF sick on
vessels afoat was 100. Eighty-seven in a
thousand were inyalided to hospitals and only
BIZ in a thousand died.
THE TOTAL NUMBER OF DEATHS
In the service was 123. The death rate was in
creased by sixteen cases OF accidental drown
ing. There were seventy-eight patients belong
ing TO the navy treated in the government hos
pital for the insane at st. Elzabeth's, District
OF Columbia. fourteen patients being admitted
since September 80, 1883. Nine recovered, one

The Rooster Law.

10 the Editor Of TN EvEHIse SrAR:
Your report Saturday the 9th instant gave an
erroneous impression Of my suit in the Police
Court. No insulting epithet was used by any
one. The defendant abolished his rooster on
being arrested for the nuisance and SO proved
he no longer maintained it, which. of course
ended the grievance, accomplishing all my
design IL Is but little known that We have q
law, just. humane and explicit, forbiddding the
keeping OF fowl whose Growing disturbs the
rest or comfort Of any individual There must
be at least one, probably several, nightly
sufferers by each Of these pests, though people
cannot take the time or trouble or odium Of
complaining. Are not. therefore, all who MAIN
tain the nuisance Of a Growing fowl in the city
limits law breakers? And should any honest
person be willing for q moment TO remain in
that position? ROBERT RopNEY.

The Condition of Seventh Street.

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
desire to ask why It'll street northwest is
permitted to remain in its present filthy and
dilapidated condition. The sidewalks are not
only dangerous by reason of the many existing
breaks, but are impossible after rain on &C
count of the numerous muddy pools of water
and accumuations OF filth precipitated there
from the equally execrable street. As the
cable line workers are now below Pennsylva-
mia avenue there is no valid excuse for the
non-appearance Of the street sweepers on this
thOroug hfare north of that avenue.

A RESTRICTED DIET,
Died From His Injuries.

George Clifford Leech, son of DR.. George A.
Leech. the lad who was accidentally struck
with stone October by a playmate, died
last night at his home, 2219 18th street north
west. He was nine years old. The stone
fractured the frontal bone and the pressure ON
the brain led to tranmatic meningitis, which
caused the death. On the I'd instant the
operation of trephining was performed, but
the Inflammation had then spread so far that,
although the operation produced relief it was
too late to avert the fatal result.
