BUENos AYREs, July 27.-Generals Cam
pos and ArrendOntio, commanding the in
surgents have seived the arsenal, barracks
and Plaza Lavvale. Their forces include
five military and two citizen battaliOns and
the cadet corps. The Government COM
mands seven battalions and expects rein

ffcts on Saturday were adverse to the Gov
ernment. The losses on both sides are
heavy Many buildings have been de-
stroyed. The navy remains neutral. Senior
Pellegrini, Vice President, has assumed the
Presidency.

battalion of troops, with arms and baggage,

Providence. The authorities are negOtiat-

EVENTS PRECEDING THE REVOLT.
New YORK, July 28.-Senh0r Grendes,
one of the best known merchants Of Buenos
AyTes, said, "When left BuenOs Ayres a
month ago things were in decidedly unset
tied condition. President Celnan was even
conscious of strong opposition TO his
Government, but he had organized at Ru-
saTio and at COrd0va, as we'll as in the In
terror provinces, party which seemed
power that which was growing against
him at the capital. The troops in the prov
ipces we're well affected toward the Govern
ment, because there was really determined
effort on its part to pay the soldiers their
earnings, thing almost wholly unknown
in previous times.
UNPOPULAR FINANCIAL PROPOSITION.
My belief is that the revolution was
started prematurely, being precipitated by
the arrest, very short time before, of Gen
eral Campos and his chief aid and conf
dant, Colonel Figueroa: Campos, pre-
sumo, sent out Il manifesto OF some sort
from his prison, and his followers assem-
bled with startling alacrity. Senor Arem
has been q lifelong friend Of Campos.
Whatever else contributed to the trouble
the chief reason was heated discussion
which arose between the Government
and the Radical party about three
months ago concerning the aqylsa-
biIity of negotiating a new loan in Paris.
Celman is an exceedingly popular man In
the Republic, and his discontinue can only
be one of short duration.
Senior CanoRas, Monteyideo banker
agreed with Grenedes.
REvoLUTIoNARY MEETINGS.
A passenger on the Umbria. who left
Buenos AyreS July 18th, says: "When
left Buenos Ayres there had been several
public or civil meetings held there,
at which revolutionary speeches were
made. One OF the meetings Il attended.
There were probably 1900 or &c, ,DG0 persons
present. Alejandro NJ. Arem presided and
the speeches were of a fiery nature.
One cause for complaint was over
tile issuing of land bonds. Such
bOuds, in the Province of Buenos Ayres
alone, nave been issued TO the amount of
100000, 900 pesos. The meeting resulted In
denunciation of the Government and its
method of fnanciering, and called for
reformation of its WAYS" After the
meeting l saw sailors and soldiers with
bayonets on guard around President Gel
mans residence. The crowd in the streets
was something amazing. When the people
surged toward the Presidents house the
guards pushed them back at the points OF
their bayonets. This lasted for while
until rife was discharged and the crowd
scampeTed.
CAUSE OF THE CRISIS.
The Rerald's Washington correspon dent
says that the Argentine Legation has re-
ceiVed no news from Buenos Ayres. Ac-
