ROME. July Gothic Italian Government has
forbidden emigration to the Argentine Repub-
lie, having received news that the revolution.
airy movement is likely to continue.
The Times correspondent at Buenos Ayres
says that every house was converted into q
citadel yesterday evening. The people in the
suburbs organized their own armed police to
deal with marauders.
Tho Union Civica say that they found the
boxes Of ammunition in tho Government stores
empty instead Of full, rs tho store books ihdi-
Gated. This deception and tho error in not
cutting the rails and soizing the War Minister
when opportunity offered at the onset caused
tho failure OF the popular cause.
Tho evaporation against Celinan is inde-
scribable. Unless he resigns. 1t is feared that
attempts will be made upon his life. Tho
Bourse is closed and tho settlement is post
ponel until Aug. .. Exchange shops quote
gold at 4SO.
II Ceman has the slightest patriotism he will
resign. but the sycopants around him have
assumed q bullying tone. and assert that he
never will resign.
Ldter.-President Celman does not appear
to realize his position lie has laughingly do
cared that only military mutiny could show
the people how little he thought Of resgninG.
1t is reported that tho squadron has surren-
dered.
The payment OF all bills has been deferred
ono month.
Tho Minister OF War has issued bulletin
pardoning the rank and file OF the revolution
lists and declaring that 100000 National Guards
are ready to defend the country and President
Celman. being now united with him by the tie
OF the battlefield
The bulletin is treated with derision. and
copies which have been scattered throughout
the city are tramped under foot by the people.
The outlook is bad, unless Celman's declara-
tons arc mere travado
Consul Baker, wrote from Buenos Ayres in
the height OF the panic last winter that the
country was al right though the finances
seemed 10 be all wrong Among the Interest,"
ing things no mentioned to show tho progress
OF the country was the fact that there was q
considerable movement Of population into
patagonia. Colonies were occupying the fine
pataconian table lands under the Andes. and
upward Of 50oODO sheep are now found on me
new ranches in country which a few years
ago was regarded as ono Of the uninhabitablO
parts OF the earth
In spite Of the panic railroad building still
went on in all PARTS of the republic. Over
$500 miles OF railroad were In process OF build
ing in December last. The port works at
Buenos Ayrss. which are TO make the docks
accessible to the shipping. were carried on in
spite OF thor great cost and Il part OF the
works were opened TO commerce last year.
Surveys were started also in Terra del
FneEo, and It was intended to divide consider
able public land into lots to be offered. for sale
with view to colonization and sheep farming.
In Consul Bakers opinion the general inter-
ests OF the country are not involved in tho fate
OF the enormous speculations which must
come down to Legitimate Specie basis. The
country is rich. Every gold dollar we'll invest
ed Is safe. Every bpllock and sheep upon the
pampas is still worth It's true value in gold.
and every wage Garner will still receive the
value OF his services. but it will be in gold in-
stead OF paper,
