THE BARRUNDiA KILLING.

The Declaration of Captain Pitts of the
Steamship Acapulco Makes it Case of
Self-Defense. Barrundfa Having Fired
First.
CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. 12.-Advices
received here respecting the shooting
of General Barrundia on board the
American steamship Acapulco at St
Jose de Guatemala, state that Captain
Pitts of the Acapulco had made dec
laration which, the Guatemalan author
tiles claim, completely justifes their
action. Mr., Miner, the American
Minister, the authorities say, was con-
suited as an act of courtesy only. 1t is
further alleged that when Captain
Torielle and Captain Pitts read to Bar
rundia the order for his delivery to the
Gutemalan authorities Barrundia asked
permission to change his clothes, which
was granted. Turning away, Barrun
liza suddenly grasped two revolvers and
tired on Torielle, Pitts and the police
men, who, in turn, fired on Barrundia,
killing him. Captain Pitts had taken
the precaution of ordering the passen-
gers to withdraw, otherwise some of
them would have undoubtedly been
hit by the bullets from Barrundia's

ELMIRA, n. Y, Sept. 1.-THE flood

plunged in. His body has not yet been
found. The water in the Canisteo river
is the highest known in twenty-five
years. Corning, Addison and Hornells-
vile are inundated, and business is at
( standstill.

Coshocton valley is submerged and tho
loss OF property is very great Railroad
traffic is entirely suspended on the Erie

have been swept away. The road bed
is washed out and at various places
along the road several feet of water
