Special to THE MORNING CALI.

LA LIBERTAD, Nov lion the evening
of the 9th inst. part of the garrison at
Tegucigalpa, Honduras, melted by General
Longino Sanchez, revolted and took posses
sion of the arsenal President Bogran at
once took the field against the insurgents,
rallying the pueblos to his support.
Already there has been severe fighting.
Several army men have issued pronuncia-
mentos and are hurrying with their forces
to aid Sanchez. 1t is believed that the revo-
luton will become general and Bogran be
forced, if not captured, to leave this conn
try. The garrisons now on the way to help
hiOmay revolt. as they have not been paid
for some time and general discomfort reigns,
which is only kept in check by the officers
in command.
1t is believed that Barillas will attempt to
extend aid to his old ally Bogran, and in do
ing so will precipitate general war in Cen
trail America, as it is understood that if lie
takes hand in the present trouble Ezeta
will call him to time with the full consent Of
Nicaragua and Costa Rica, with whom Sal
international strife.
Advices from Guatemala say that Minister
Miner has been sending long dispatches to
his Government, and it is surmised that they
treat of the present revolution, which is eX-
tending rapidly in all parts of Honduras
and San Salvador.
President Ezeta fully confirms the news
of revolt by dispatches he has received,
a ant, OBJ ,l.t
taking the State Building and arsenal was
very heavy. Troops are being hurried to
the relief of Bogran from every quarter OF
the republic.
Ezeta will not allow Barillas to interfere
in the trouble of Honduras. The present
affair remained for its people alone to solve,
and Guatemala must keep aloof. Ezeta ex-
presses the hope that the revolution will
soon be over, and deprecates general war
in Central America, which would possibly
follow IL BarllaS attempted to interfere in
the present strife.
During the night Bogran and his forces,
who were surrounded in one of the wards of
Tegucigalpa, Withdrew from the capital.
They fought through the lines, and exactly
where they have taken up their head
quarters has not been ascertained. They are
being pursued by soldiers sent after them
by General Longinos Sanchez, who is now
in complete possession of the capital, and
understood that Sanchez will declare de-
facto Government and send representatives
to Salvador Costa Rlca. Nicaragua and possi-
bly, to Mexico and the United States.
Sanchez, on the death of Cello Arias, a
man of remarkable intelligence and inffu-
ence, became the central and leading en- emy
of Bogran, and it appears that his pronun-
camento became effective, though Be-
gran expected President Barillas of
Guatemala to send him troops TO put down
FAlt . Co., IL
cumstances Honduras cannot, when all of
its people are of the same mind, place over
Is, 600 men in the field. and in the present
trouble more than 10000 effective soldiers,
including those enlisted on both sides, can
not be raised.
A private dispatch over the Federal lines
from Guatemala brings information that
Barillas has sent 1900 soldiers from the
frontier to aid Bogran in recapturing
Tegucigalpa and restoring order in Hon.
duras. The greatest excitement prevails in
the Guatemaian capital and another large
the act of sending troops to Honduras
and predict general war i'll Central Amer i
ca. The peace treaty which was to have
been arranged and signed between Guate-
mala and Salvador in October remains un-
settled as yet, owing 10 the fact that Baril-
las can give no satisfactory explanation aS
to what became of the Salvadorian prisoners
in the recent war. The Spanish and Amer
ican Ministers, owing to this question, are
not on the best OF terms, and the relations
between Salvador and Guatemala are
strained.
SAN SALVADOR, Nov. 1l.-Several Cab
met meetings have been held, over which
President Ezeta presided. Further facts in
regard to the report that Barillas had sent
troops to intervene in the affairs of Hon.
duras were considered, and the opinion pre-
walls that orders will be issued to the troops
on the frontier by Ezeta to march and inter-
cept the Guatemalan army.
ACAPULCO, Nov u.-General Benjamin
Moino Guirola, the Salvadorian Minister to
the United States, is passenger aboard
the Pacific Mail steamer San Jose. which
has sailed for San Francisco.

gram to-day stating that q local uprising

of Honduras, against the Government
President Bogran is receiving the support
of the rest of the republic. Order and COM
plete peace prevailed in Guatemala and the
rest of the Central American States, all favor
ing neutral position in the matter, which
is looked upon as unimpoEtant and purely
local.
