CITY or GUATEMALA, Aug. g.
Last night the superintendent Of
the Guatemala Central railroad had
orders 10 keep a special train con-
SANITY under steam, subject to the
disposal Of President Barrillas. Ii
is believed that the President Is GO
ing to fly from the county. The
train was got ready, when the gov
eminent sent squad or company
Of 4OIdiers 10 watch over 1t. but the
purpose OF the soldiers presence
Was not eSplaiBed 20 the superin-
tendent Of the railroad, who became
alarmed at the governments action
in sending troops 70 the company's
premises, which are American prop
erty. HI 20 -r..-
He went at once, though late at
night, to the American Legation,
but the minister was away He
then used the railroad telegraph to
the Port Of san Jose and cOmmun-
icated with the commander of the
United States man-Of-Ear Thetis,
anchored of the port, requesting
him to send protection for the nail
road property and its employees.
AN ANSWER CANE IsIMEDIATELY
from the commander Of the Thetis
that he would send one Of his Off
GERS up to Guatemala TO recOnnOitre
and wat h over events, but that he
could not seEd up an armed force
from mis- vessel, unless specially re-
queSted to do so by the American
minister. Hf1-
The officer arrived this morning
and is at the railroad station. All
foreigners have appealed to their
isgations for protection IN view Of
the impending crisis. The latest
rumOr is that BarriIlas has appealed
to the diplomatic corps not now to
arbitrate in the Salvador matter,
but to protect and sustain his gov
eminent.
News has just reached here OF the
reported arrival Of British man-Of-
war at San Jose. The city has the
aspect OF a churchyaTd at midnight.
All is rs silent As the grave and the
people have to keep within their
houses. not knowing ut what mo-
ment the cannon roar may break the
silence. Provisions are very scarce
and very dear, and the municipal
market f. deserted by nearly all the
women who are accustomed 10 sell
their wares.

peace reigns once more through the
whole republic, and there are no evil
denCcs Of war, with the exception
Of the army on the frontier of Guate-
mala. and the forces near the

in praise Of General Ezet3 and the
mastery way in which he handled
the situation.
President Ezeta, day before yes
teniay, called a meeting Of many OF
the principal and most influential
people in San Salvador and unsni- |
nous appreciation was the result Of

al b. Molena Gairoia, Issued a de-
cree appointing several Of the trust

revOlutionists from Juteassa, num-
boring about a thousand, and when |

THE REPORT DENIED.
CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. Dds
patches from Guatemala deny the
report that Martinez Sal, Secretary
Of State, was arrested. He resigned
his office, however. and Senior F.
Cenquiano, Secretary Of Justice, has
taken charge Of his portfolio. This
denotes no change in the policy OF
the government. The forces under
Gen. Barrilias routed the reyolu-
tionists at Tempisque. The revolu-
tiOnaTy army, which was largely
reinforced, by SAlvaiOrians, num-
bered 5000 while the government
troops numbered 1900. The govern

tionists lost three killed. Fifteen Of
