THE GUATEMALAN WAR.
The salvadorians Gaining Victory After
Victory.


New YORK August 2d-A Herald Qua
temala special says: Revolutions are in
progress in different parts of the republic.
General Arualo is issuing orders to his fol-
lowers from Cniquimada and General Bar
runda from the Departments on the borders
of Mexico. The Salvadorians are arriving
toward the capital from two different points
on the frontier, obtaining victory after VIC
tory. The Guatemalan troops are almost
dead with hunger, fighting from forced
necessity. For the last fortnight there has
not been cent in the Guatemalan National
Treasury, and all payments are suspended.
The capital has been declared in state of
siege and individual security is suspended.
Cohn, representative of Guatemala in
the negotiation of a loan of twenty-one
millions in Europe, sailed to-day on the

loan has been secured.
MONEY FOR WAR PURPOSES.
New YORK, August 2d.-All the mem
bers of the Salvadorian colony in this city
are in high state of excitement to day.
This is caused by the announcement of the
arrival here and sudden departure of
Francois Gotta, Special Commissioner of
the Gustemalan Treasury Department,
with So 600 600, a portion of the proceeds
OF the sale OF Guatemalian bonds in Lon
don. AS Salvador and Guatemala are at
war, the capture of Commissioner Gotta,
with his treasure, would be big feather
The most extraordinary efforts, therefore
are being made 10 intercept him in
Panama
AS Gotta sailed Friday on the Pacific
Mail Steamship CITY of Para, he ought TO
arrive in Colon on Saturday next. In ad
dtIon to the men who have started over
land to Mexico BY rail. the cable has been
utilized to inform Ganerai Ezeta of the
situation, and also to acquaint the few
Salvadoriars resident in the Panama dis
trict of the approach OF the travelling Com
missioner. but Gotta cannot be taken with
out struggle. Both he aud Secretary
Flore are armed to the teeth and will resist
any attack.
The Salvadorians are aware that they
will not only gain large amount of
money by experimenting Gotta, but bis cap
ture with bagfull of valuable documents
relating to the big loan would be disas-
trous blow TO Guatemala. The Commits
sioner has in his possession letters of
credit on the international Bank of Lon
don and other financial institutions. repre-
sentipg nearly 5000 COO, in addition to
the 100000 in specie. The loss of that
large sum would iDjure Guatemala and
interfere with her plan of action.

The Former Trots in Very Fast Time,
but is Finally Defeated.
DETROIT, August 2i-Forty-five hun
dred people witnessed the grand contest
to-day between Palo Alto, son of Eec-
tioneer. and Jack, son of Pilot Medium.
The day was warm, the track in good con-
dition and the wind light. People were
present from all over the State, and crowds
came up from Cleveland. Palo Alto was a
favorite before the first heat, the auctions
selling at 500 for him against $50 on
Jack. In the first heat Palo Alto led by a
length on the turn, but near the quarter
broke. and Jack quickly headed him. Palo
Alto quickly gathered speed around the
turn, and at the three quarter pole they
were together. On the stretch, however
Palo Alto again broke and Jack took big
lead, winning easily in 2:l51.
In the auctions before the second heat,
Jack brought 500 and Palo Alto $64 They
got off well together and ran like team
past the quarter On the back stretch Jack
broke and Palo Alto secured long lead
which the gelding couldn't overcome, al
though he made grand struggle. Palo
Alto won by two lengths, in 2:151. break
ing the record of the track in race, beat
ing the stallion race record, and equaling
the fast race mile made by Maud S.
The result of this heat caused another
shift in the betting, and before the third
heat Jack sold at $31 and Palo Alto 800.
The horses got off well, but Palo Alto
broke on entering the turn and also on
lower end, and Jack had clear lead of six
lengths at the quarter. Palo Alto reduced
this to four at the half, and on the stretch
they were nearly together. Palo Alto could
not quite catch the gray gelding, however,

in 2:154.
In spite of Jacks victory, however, Palo
Alto was still fsvorite before the fourth
heat, bringing 500 against $72 for Jack.
Jack had a little the best of it on the start,
but Palo Alto soon caught him. The son
of Electioneer, however, unfortunately
broke again at the quarter, and Jack
again gained two lengths. On the back
stretch Palo Alto again crawled up on his
opponent but once more broke. The ad-
ditional lead thus secured by Jack, how
ever, was being rapidly overcome, and in
turn the gray gelding broke for an instant.
He quickly recovered, and was still
two lengths in the lead al the three-quar-
ter pole. Palo Alto kept crawling up on
him, but the gelding's lead was too great
and the bay stallion was beaten length.
Time, 2:16.
The great audience was extremely en-
thusiastic, and the drivers and horses were
cheered again and again.

Another Shooting Growing Out of the
Iron-Molders' Strike.
SAN Francisco, August 2d.-The second
fatal shooting in the course of the IRON
molders' strike occurred to-day. Walter
Rideout, aged "a, is one of the non-union
apprentices at the City Iron Works. He
lives in Berkeley. across the bay, and has
been recently married. This afternoon,
when the works closed, he left the foundry,
and seeing a number OF strikers grouped
near he crossed the street to a policeman
and asked for protection, saying that he
was afraid of being assaulted.
The policeman told him to get on q
street car, and he would keep the strikers
away. Just after he got on the policeman
beckoned him to get of, and when he did
so told him number of strikers had gone
around to intercept the car at the next
block. Rideout then went two blocks and
boarded the Powell-street cable car. Think
ing himself safe from pursuit, and being
very sleepy, he leaned back and began to
doze.
Soon two strikers boarded the car, one
named 81. L. Siebert, the others name un-
known. Siebert sat down opposite Ride.

you. you dog. you" Rideout had his
hands in his coat pockets, one resting on a
revolver he carried by permit from the
police. He started up, drawing it, Siebert
grasped his arm and tried to wrest the re-
volver from him. The other striker on
the car came to his aid, and sharp strug-
gle ensued, during which the revolver was
discharged and Siebert sank back with the
blood pouring from his left breast.
The police now appeared and arrested
Rideout and took Siebert to the Receiving
Hospital. The other striker escaped. At
the hospital Sieberts wound was pro-
nounced fatal. He first gave his name as
Louis Brown, but afterwards made dying
statement, giving his true name.
The President and other officers of the
Molders' Union are with him. He is still
living, but death is momentarily expected.
H. L Siebert, the wounded molder, died
at IL o'clock tonight. The molders are
much excited, and extra policemen have
been stationed at all the struck" foundries
to prevent disorder. None is really ex-
pected, however.

Brutal Treatment OF Prisoners at Uskub,
Macedonia,

LONDON, August 2d.-A special corre-
spondent of the Daily Neics has succeeded
in obtaining admission to the Turkish
prison at Uskub, Macedonia. The build
ing contained one hundred and forty-nine
cells, occupied by the unfortunate victims
who are sent there to be confined from
one to ten years each, but so great are
their sufferings from the barbarity of the
keepers and the total disregard of saui-
tary laws, that one rarely outlives five
years. In one cell, two and half yards
square, the correspondent discovered
nearly score of poor wreiches paniing

having in the way OF the latter nothing
but bread and water. A great num-

PRICE OF SILVER.
No Reason to be Alarmed Over the Is
suance of Notes.

New YORK, August 2d.-A Tribune Lon
don dispatch says: Robert Giffen, per-
haps the first of the living English statis-
ticians, has contributed 10 the August
number of the Nineteenth Century, an
elaborate paper on the American "silver
bubble" The title shows what view he has
taken. He says there can be no initiation
all at once.
The silver notes that will be issued will
have exactly the same sort of uses as the
silver certificates now in circulation, no
more and no less. So long as the quantity
of notes made is strictly limited and the
Government receives them freely for taxes
and dues, and pays them out only in ex-
change for equivalent gold, they will re.
main level with gold.
Such currency, so handled, cannot
cause any initiation. Prices will remain as
before, at gold level. There is danger,
adds Giffen, that in time it will not be pos
sible 10 handle this currency. He believes
that the rise in silver will be only tempo
rsry, and that even the present rise is to
some extent nominal, forming a part of
the general rise in prices in gold incident
to the period of good credit
