word from him nor from any one else on the
matter The dispatches do not seem at all
to the first pHSs ne Of
PRESIDENT are too wild. Rosario, to which tho
President is said In one despatch TO have es-
which another despatch says he embarked.
The discrepancy is too great to be accounted
for on the theory of confusion or difficulty in
getting information. Both dispatches, feel
sure. are false.
Il do not know ANYTHING about the military
ORGANIZATIONS mentioned in the desuatches
but / think that there are only about 2.5lO or
5000 soldiers In Buenos Ayres. The militia Is
especially well organ lZsd and efficient, and, at
smGmenl's call. would lie ready and able TO
crush any revolt among the regulars at once.
Most OF the Government officials mentioned in !
the dispatches are unknown to mo. Tho only
hames OF Insurgents mentioned that are n all
FAMILIAR to me are A. Del Vale and NJ. de
Maria, who are said to have issued the revou-
donary manifesto. Both OF them are promi-
hent Buenos Ayres lawyers, and are think.
Senators or Representatives"
Mr.. de Castro would not commit himself as
70 the supposed motives for the revolu ton.
