AFTER A COMMISSIONER.

NEW YORK, August ALI the
members Of the SalyadOrisn colony
in this city We're In a high state Of
excitement today. This was caused
by the announcement Of the arrival
here and sudden departure Of Fran
els Cottu, a special commissioner Of
the GuatemRlan treasury depart
ment, with S3,OJ0,0JO, n portion Of
the PROCEEDS Of the sale OF Guatemala
bond in london. As Salvador and
Guatemala are at war. the capture
Of Commissioned COttu with his
treasure would be a big feather.
Most extraordinary efforts, there
fore, are being made TO intercept
HIM in Panama or elsewhere.
As COttu sailed Friday on the
Pacific mail steamship CWy NJ Paris,
he ought 10 aIriveat Colon Saturday
next. In addition TO men who
have started overland 10 Mexico by
rail, the cable has been utilized TO
inform General Ezeta OF the situa-
ton and also TO acquaint the sal
vadOrians resident in the Panama
district Of the approach Of the CON-
missioner, but COttu canRst be taken
without struggle. Both he and
his secretary, FlOria, are armed 10
the teeth and will resist any attack.
The SalvadOrians are aware that
they will not only gain large sum
OF money by experimenting COttu,
but his capture with a bagiul Of valu-
able documents relating 10 the big
oan,and this would be a disastrous
blow TO Guatemala. The commits
siOner has in his possession letters
Of credit on the international Bank
OF London and other financial in
stituIiOns representing nearly Sii,-
$1,000 III addition 10 the S3,JJJ,rJO
in specie. The loss Of thAt large
sum would iulure Guatemala and
interfere with her plan Of action.

The people In this capital are

warranted intervention, or even As
a tacit declaration Of war against
Guatemala. IL President Banillas
obtained formal consent Of the
Guaiemalan people to the step,
President BOgran would then fur
nish the required assistance from
Honduras. Barrillns II consequent

MINISTER MINER.

WAsHINGIuS, August .. - At
last Lansing b. MiZner, United
States minister resident in Central
America, has been heard from. The
Department Of State today received
telegram from him, stating that
he was in communication with
the commander Of the Unit
ell States maU-Jf-war Thctis and
Ranger. Here Miner stopped
without saying word about the
bloody conflict supposed TO be in
progress between Guatemala and
Salvador, or the reported outbreak
against the administration Of Gen
elal BaTrillaS. Miners silence as
TO all the important particulars Is
thought TO signify either that he re-
ceiyed none OF the dispatches sent
him by the department during the
two weeks, or else he Is not allowed
by the GUatemalan Government 10
send out the particulars Of any Of
the internal affairs OF the country
al the present time.

MES that the Pacific Steamship
Company made a demand for dam

assertion Of President HeastOn that
the company had presented claims
which the government was going to

DIR. Cruz said: The captain Of the

A SEVERE FIGHT.

La LIBERTAD, San Salvador,
Aug. 3.-News from the capital had
been waited here with feverish ALL
xiety. IL was known that General
Jose Rivas had proved n traitor to
Ezeta and was marching on the
capital at the head Of his army Of
Indians, but the wires were down
and no connection could he had
with san Salvador. At last conf
municatiOn was restored, and then
came the news Of the death Of Rivas
and the iefeat OF his army.
UuOn the death Of Menendez,
Rivas was invited, among other
military officers who had been IT,
fugees under the Menendez govern
ment. to return to his country.
Rivas came back and sent word to
E,zeta that he would organize
the Gojutepeque Indians into
an army TO assist him in his
war against Guatemala. Ezsta,
never suspecting treachery from
Rivas, assented, and the latter
armed and equipped GOO men. Sub
sequently EZeta learned that Rivas
contemplated n move on the capital,
and ordered General Antonio Ezeta,
his brother, the hero Of eleven bat
ties with Guatemslans, TO place able
geuerals in command of the army OF
&C upatiOn and with 2OO0 veterans
return 10 Salvadorian soil and follow
RIvas' Indian army.

with Meneaiez and heard their dis

was about to appeal 10 United states
that his people might escape butch
cry and their wives and daughters a
worse fate az the hands Of the s3va-
gus Of Guatemala. Then il was that
from three To five thousand Aztec

stated they would die rather than

THE sun had not set before 10000
Aztecs were armed and ready TO
lie for Salvador. The Guatemalan
spies told the story across the con-
fines of coterminOus republics and
Barriilas' soldiers vanished.
"I.et me add that Barrillas, the
usurper and tyrant Of Guatemala, IS
hardly better than Zaidivar, the
monstrous rObber and traitor who

this one fact is fixed, that If Rivas
had lived the Central American
union would no more have been
possible than desirable, and EZeta
would have been compelled to It

real master Of Salvador and he was

Speaking Of the trade with san
Salvador, the gentleman said the
American Consul induced a proffer
in San Francisco Of premiums for
the first specimens Of coffee pre-
duCed in Central America.
"Then the United States consul
proposed TO supplement French
wines sold in Salvador at dollar a

thus provided in Central America

FOR wheat TO be ground in Salvador.
