Washington, Nov ia telegram dated Guatemala
City has been received at the State Department rom
Mr.. Miner, United states Minister to Central America
stating that revolution is now in progress In the
capital of Honduras The President OF that Republic
has been driven from the city, but Is now Conecung

The oc;a, ssnatcb sent by the American Minister t.
Central America sets at rest all doubts In regard to the
certainty of revolutionary movement IN hohdurse'
Generally the first reports of such outbreaks are oehco
by the Consus and other foreign representatives Oh o
countries where disturbances occur becauss IL part
of their official duties TO affect tho strongest optimism
with respect to affairs concerning me governments
whose agents they are so 1t happened recently IN re-
gard to the first news of revolutions In Brazil salvador
the Argentine Republic and Chill. AS to Honduras
ronuncamentos against President Luis Bograh were
to be expected consequence OF inc successi re'o
hutton in Salvador. Presidents Bogran OF honuuI''s'
Barillas of Guatemala and the late Mencndez OF sal
vador were so closely united that the overthrow OF one
member of that Central American trilmvirste would
pr,babIy canse he fall o. the two other members.
Menendez hes been killed. Bogran Is now nghuhg ior
his Presidential Office and even Ter MS lie ana baria'
turn NAV soon come The Central American people
overthrew the dictatorship Of Barrios, of Guatemala III
1885, only TO find themselves ruled afterward by three
creatures OF the same Barrios Two OF the five Re
pubics Nicaragua and Costa Rica, escaped the yrar
nical yoke of the Presidential triumvirate 1t Is the
knowledge OF that condition Of things which explains
that despite the numerous reports TO the contrary no
faith was entertained here In the reconstruction OF the
former Central American Confederation OF 1880.
II will be remembered that Immediately after the new
President of salvador General Ezeta had succeeded In
beating back Baras and Bogran who wanted to crush
the popular leader and berator Of Salvador rumors OF
revolution In Honduras well as In Guatemala were
frequently received They have been verified In the
former country thus showing that President Bogran
was far from being idol Of his countymen that he
was represented to be. He succeeded In the Fresi-
Dental chair DR.. Marco Aureo Soto, scholar and
statesman even according to the opinion OF his few
sdversaries Marco Soto declined to submit to the policy
of Barrios who wanted to bring about by force the
union of Central America, while Soto expected to
reach the same end by persuasion and free discussion
When Barrios threatened with Honduras Soto re
signed his office. in order to spare his country the
caames OF an armed struggle and Barrlos Installed
Bogran Presidential Tegucgalpa. 1t appears tiat the
latiers rule satisfactory to the people OF Hon
duras because Of his cruelty and his bad financial man
agement- The question now Is, whether tho insur-
gent General Sanchez Is mere military advcnturer,
fighting exclusively for his personal Interest," or
whether he has been solicited TO take up arms In the
Of Marco Aurelio Soto. The latter has been IN
Europe but 1t Is said that he had been urged to return
to salvador at the of Honduras, by his HonduIan
partisans and had been offered free asylum by his
| friend the Salvadorean President
