ad Cable-Special TO THE BEE. The revo-
lution which has been expected for months
and which has been gaining Roadway since
the conclusion Of the war between Salvador
and Guatamala has broken out in Hunduras
Tegucigalpa is IN state Of siege. Telegraph
communications direct with the capital has
been interrupted and it is believed that the
wires have been cut, but this is not posi-.
lively known. Several dispatches were re-
ceived by the Savadorian government in re-
gard TO the affair. One is TO the effect tba
on Friday last a part of the garrison OF
Tegucigapa rcvolted and under the leader
ship Of General Langino Sanchez took pos
session, after hard fighting, OF the capitol
building and arsenal. Since then street
skirmishing has been of daily occurrence
and Sanchez and his forces now
have President Luis Bogran surrounded in
one Of the wards of the city, and 1t is be-
lieved that he will be forced to surrender
unless other garrisons arrive at the scene OF
the revolt within two or threedays,
The garrsous of inspection on the Saliva
dorian and Nicaraguan ontiors are being
pushed toward the capital by forced marches,
only enough soldiers being left behind to
prevent possible uprising. Several other
army men have issued their pronunciamentos
and are hurrying with their forces to aid
Sanchez. 1t is believed that the revolution
will become general and Bogran will be forced,
IL not captured, to leave this country.
The garrisons now on the way to help him
may revolt as they have not been paid for
some time, and general discomfort regns,
which is only kept in check by the officers in
command Bogran has been regarded as the
tool of Barrilas and has successfully bank
rupted the country. Many people residing
in the frontier districts have signfied their
intention of asking annexation to Nicaragua
and Salvador. If Bogran falls there is a
possibility that the country will by common
consent of the masses be divided between
Guatemala, Salvador and Nicaragua.
Presidents Sacaza and Ezeta have in creased
their frontier garrisons in consequence OF the
revolt and have instructed the commanders
not to allow any armed force to gather for
| the purpose of invading Honduras. They
| will maintain strict neutrality in the pres
ent international strife.
Private advices from the city of Guatemala
| just received here puts grave aspect upon
| the revolution in Honduras. 1t is believed
| that Barilas will attempt to extend aid to his
old ally, Bogran, and in doing so will precipi-
| tate general war in Central America, as 1t
| is understood that II he takes a hand in the
| present trouble Ezeta will call
| him to time, with the full
| consent Of Nicaragua and Costa Rica,
| with whom Salvador will be leagued in case
Of general international strife. The greatest
uneasiness prevails in Guatemala and tho
movements of Barillas are watched with sus-
picion. Minister Michner has peen sending
long dispatches to his government and it is
surmised that they treat of the present revo-
luton which is extending rapidly in all parts
