The Situation in Sam Salvador.

CRY OF MEXICO, via Galveston, Aug. s.
A dispatch from San Salvador says Cen
eral Trungray, at the head of the Guate-
malan revolutionists, has taken Chiqui-
mala near the capital; that the loss of this
place has obliged the Guatemalan govern
ment to concentrate troops toward the cap
ital. A Guatemalan dispatch says it is I'M
true that an attempt was made to assassl-
nate President Barrilas, and denies the re-
volution is of Importance The dispatch also
says Minister Miners correspondence has
not been tempered with; that the min
lister has for days been in free communica-
ton with the United States government.
A special dispatch from Guatemala says
! the diplomatic corps has offered to nego-
tiate in the interests of peace, that the offer
has been accepted and that it is expected a
settlement will be arranged within few
days.
President Barrilas says he will not re-
sign and prefers death to surrender. Dis
patches received by the Mexican govern
ment confirm the report of the probability
of the intervention of foreign diplomats in
Central America. President Ezeta's only
terms are the recognition of his govern
ment and the non-intervention of other
powers in the internal government of Sal
vador. Reports from the Chiapas frontier
are that everything is quiet.

New YORK, Aug 5-The resolution in
troduced in the United States Senate
by Senator Plumb, providing for
the removal of the remains of Cen
eral Grant from New York TO Arlington
cemetary, Washington, has revived discus
sion OF the subject. The remains cannot
be removed without consent of Mrs. Grant.
In order to ascertain her views, a reporter
visited her at her son Ulysses farm. near
Purdy station, in Westchester county.
Mrs. Grant declined to talk about Senator
Plumb's resolution. She consented, how
ever, to let her son, Ulysses, speak for her
and said he was acquainted with her seuti-
ments.
1.-THE question of the removal of General
Grants remains remains is, as YOU NAV
suppose, an exceedingly painful one TO Mrs
Grant and family" Mr.. Grant said, sit
keeps coming up from time to time. and
every time the subject is preached it opens
wounds that even time has healed As to
the resolution, we shall say nothing. either
to criticise or comment. The selection Of
the burial place was made after careful
consideration, and it is certainly a beauti-
full spot
When asked what he thought of the plan
proposed by Lucius Briggs, of Glasgow,
Conn, of fund to build o monument to
General Grant by popular subscription to
be made simultaneously in all local states,
Mr.. Grant replied that the proposition was
one he did not care to talk about without
consideration. Personally, he would be
glad OF any plan that might prove success
full. II know it would be a source of graf
ification to my mother" he concluded, s.to

Live Stock at the Worlds Fair.

CHICAGO, Aug. Sd. H. Sanders, pub
Usher of the Breeders Gazette, has written
a letter to the Worlds fair headquarters
relative to unique and thoroughly original
plan for live stock exhibit at the exposi-
ton. His plan embodies the following
features: There shall be selected and
placed on exhibition a thoroughly charac-
teristic and fully representative male and
female matured specimen of each and
every breed of horses, cattle, sheep and
swine raised in America, the breeds to be
classified and grouped with reference
to the special adaptation and uses
of each. Specimens so selected need
not necessarily be the best or most expen-
sive that might be found, but in every case
must be such as are most thoroughly char
acteristic OF the breed represented. In the
selection OF these specimens none but ami
mails bred and raised in the United States
should be considered.
The secretary of agriculture has assured
Mr.. Sanders that he feels disposed to adopt
this as part of the plan of the exhibit to be
made under the direction of his depart
ment.
To reap the greatest possible benefit OF
this part of the exhibit as an attraction tt
draw the public. Sanders says invitations
should be sent all over the world soliciting
