THE REVOLUTION IS ENDED
The Rey0lutiOnists Had Practically
Won the Day When the Truce
Was Agreed Upon.
The Chief Leader of the Revolution
Was DR.. Leonardo n. Allen.
of Beunos Ayres.
Many Citizens and Soldiers are Dis
contented With the Arrange
ments and are Shielding.

BUENos AYREs, Aug. AT the begin
ming of the revolution Gen. Levall took
command of the government forces,
seconded by Chief of Police Col. Capdevila
with $500 policemen, until Sunday, the
9th, at a. m. the revolution triumph
ing, it was decided to grant the truce
asked by the government till 10 a. M when
lighting was to be continued. 1t was not
resumed; it having been decided to stop
firing, to enter into treaty While this
was going on the government was receiv-
ing troops from the interior. Many
commissioned soldiers about the streets
We're killed and many other wounded
by the people assembled. On the 28th
firing was started again, the revoIutinists
being helped by six men-of-war which were
bombarding the places occupied by gov
eminent troops, causing small amount
of damage. At 4 p. m. the men-of-war
ceased firing by order of the revolutionists
who abandoned their arms according to
the agreement with the government. The
leaders of the revolution say this agree
ment was made because of their want of
ammunition. The people are greatly dis
contented with these arrangements. Some
citizens and soldiers have even committed
suicide. Col. CapdeviIla has been obliged
TO have leg amputated. Col. Campos,
the revolutionist, is dead. The chief lead
er of the instruction was Dr. Leonardo
n. Allen.

The son OF PILOT WINS
Immense Crowds Witness the Excit-
ing Race Between Palo Alto
and Jack.
The Heavy Betting Was all in Favor
of the Son of Flee
tiOneer.
Jack Wins the Race and Makes Time
Equal to Maud s. Best
Record.

DETROIT, Aug. 2.-Forty-fve hundred
people witnessed the grand contest today
between Palo Alto, the son of Electioneer
and Jack, son of Pilot Medium The day
was warm, the track was in good condi-
ton and the wind light. People were
present from all over the state and crowds
came up from Cleveland. Palo Alto was
favorite before the first heat, auctions
selling at 500 for him, against $50
on Jack. In the first heat Palo
Alto lead by a length on the turn, but near
the quarter he broke and Jack quickly
headed him. Palo Alto quickly gathered
speed around the turn, and at the three
quarters they we're together. On the
stretch, however, Palo Alto again broke,
and Jack took big lead, winning easily
in 2:l5. In the auctions before the
second heat Jack brought 500 and Palo
Alto S64. 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 could not overcome al
though he made great struggle. Palo
Alto won by two lengths in 2:1315, break
ing the record of the track in a race. beat
ing the stallion race record and equaling
the fastest race mile made by Maud S.
TIE result Of this heat caused another shift
in the betting and before the third Jack
sold at S31 and Palo Alto for 500.
The horses got off we'll but Palo Alto broke
entering the turn and also on the lower
end and Jack had clear lead of SIX
lengths at the quarter. Palo Alto reduced
this to four and half and continued 20
move with lightning speed until they en-
tered the stretch nearly together, Palo
Alto could not quite catch the gray geld
ing however, and Jack won by three quar-
tiers length in 2:154. In spite of jack
victory Palo Alto was still the
favorite ami before the fourth heat,
bringing 800 against $50 for Jack;
Jack had little the best of it on the start,
but Palo Alto soon caught him. The son
of Eectioneer, however, unfortunately
broke again at the quarter and Jack
gained two lengths On the back stretch
Palo Alto again crawed up on his oppo-
nent, but once more broke. The addition
al lead thus secured by Jack, however,
was being rapidly overcome and
in turn the gray gelding broke for an in
slant He quickly recovered, however,
and was still two lengths to the good at
three-quarters. Palo Alto kept crawling
upon him but the geldings lead was too
great and the bay stallion was beaten by a
length; time PIG. The great audience
was extremely enthusiastic, and the driv-
ers and horses we've cheered again and
again.

KEMMLER Is WEAKENING
The Noise in Preparing for His Exc cution
Frightens Him.

AUBURN. n. Y. Aug. Recent de-
velopments have more than confirmed the
truth of the statement that Kemmler, the
condemned murderer, is weakening daily.
The utter abandonment of all hope and
the consequent realization of his utterly
lost condition never came to
him with such terrible force as last even
ing All night long, as he tossed and
tumbled on his narrow cot, he cried aloud
in his despair, - wish it were over" He
moaned time and again, and bis utter
lack of all power to control his fears. 1t
was pltablc to behold. The cause of this
sudden and unconquerable despair was
the noise of preparation in the adjacent
room of execution which the prisoner
could not help hearing through the door
way which connects his cell VITA the
chamber of death.
