the fall of the Mississippi after reaching

a state Of siege. Great pressure Is ap-
piled to compel Cetman to resign.
President Celraan's SIanifesto.

LoNpoN, Aug. "A BuenOs Ayres
dispatch to The Times says that Presi-
dent Celman has issued a manifesto to
the people. After speaking Of the de
mand for his resignation, which was
recently made, he refers to prosperity
and liberty the country enjoyed under
his rale. He ignores the gravity, and
what his own journal terms, "the hor-
rors" of the recent events in Buenos
Ayres.
He attributes the sole cause of the in
suIrection to the insensate ambition Of
the local party in Buenos Ayres, which,
he says, wished to impose itself upon
the entire republic, while prosperity,
peace and security are represented by
the Celman government. Even Gel
mans own party, the dispatch says,
stands aghast at the presidents calious-
ness and his incomprehensible and vain
ignorance of the real gravity of the stu
alton.
In conclusion the manifesto expresses
eternal gratitude to the supporters OF
the presidents authority and adds that
patriotic people blesses them as the
saviours of the government.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. z. 2.-Information
has been received here from England
thpt the imperial government has de-
cided to undertake TO finish the con-
struction of the proposed defenses ON

caused great satisfaction in military
circles, as Sil Frederick Middleton, the

that tlle1e should be no delay III making

HoAR AND THE FORCE BILL.
violent L ,nguage from the Senator from
MassaciIu setts.

Violent language from the Senator from
MassaciIu 4etts.
WAsHINGToN, Aug. 2.-Echoes of the
senatorial Republican caucus Of Monday
night are still heard The caucus was
no. altogether family love feast. Sena-
tors expressed themselves pretty freely,
and Senator Hoar, it would seem, eX-
pressed himself rather violently. Several
senator's intimated that the tariff bill
was the one piece of legislation that
should be pushed through to completion,
even if the election bill should go to its
death.
This suggestion aroused Senator Hoar,
and he is quoted as giving vent to his
opinions III the following surprising Ian
guage:
"While | favor passing the tariff bill,
sooner than that this congress should
not pass the Federal election bill,
wOuld prefer to see every manufacture
ing establishment in Massachusetts
buracd to a. hes and the people Of that
state required to labor i'll callings which
they could not make more than fifty
cents per day and be required to live on
| Goldfish"
There can certainly be no doubt us tC
Senator Hoars intense desire to pass the
Federal election bill. The friends OF
Lodge, however, will be quick to use
the violent language of Senator Hoal
against him, and it looks now as if the
| Massachusetts statesman in his effort tc
outdo Lodge, is in danger of outdoing
| himself. Fifty cents day and a cod
fish diet will not be popular rallying
| cry in a senatorial contest.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 2.-The Sun pub
fishes some replies to recently ad-

various states, requesting their opinions
of the Federal election bill now pending

Democratic governors, as was to have
been expected, are unanimous in con-
demnfng the measure.
The governor of Virginia says there
is no need of such legislation as the
Lodge bill contemplates in the state of
Virginia, and that he has not given the
measure sufficient attention to feel war
rented in predicting its effect upon cleo
tions in other states.
Governor jackson, of Maryland, said
ut is an unwise and extremely partisan

CINCINNATI. Aug. 2.-The Times-Star
special Washington correspondent sent
the following to this paper Friday:
A rumor is current to-day that com
bination was effected last evening be-

senate and five Republicans, which will
result in deferring action on the cleo
ton bill until next December when con-
gress reassembles.
1t is stated that Senators Carlisle and

an excessiveness of Democratic glee
that cannot be traced to an influx OF
mouldy barrels or cobwebby bottles,

q deal. A gentleman, who is in init
mate relation with Senator Carlisle,
states positively that that gentleman

TuRNED TRAITOR.

Gen. Rivas Turns His Troops Against the
Republic Victories Over Guatemala.
LA LIBERTAD, Aug. 2.-It is repo.ted
that Gen. Rivas, who was recently re-
called from Honduras by the Salvador
government to raise troops around
Cojutepeque and join the main army
operating against Guatemala on the
frontier, turned traitor after having a
handsome reception in the caIital.
When he was supposed to be on his way
to the frontier, he turned back his
forces of 1900 Indians towards the capi-
tai and stormed the barracks. There
fighting has been going on two days,
bnt no details have been received, as
communication has been interrupted
since. Gen. Rivas started the regolu-
tion against the Menendez government
some months ago, but was defeated.
He then fled to Honduras.
Rivas' Forces Defeated.
Advices froin the capital of tile re-
public state that Gen. Ezeta was or
dered from the frontier with about
1000 men Immediately upon the out
break of the revolt headed by Gen
IiNdS, Nell ELeld HdSletleu Will al
speed to the capital. Gen. Rivas' forces
had captured the artillery barracks, but
the few troops in charge had fought
desperately before they surrendered
The Indians then pillaged several houses
and a panic ensued. Rivas' forces were
tnally defeated, and peace was restored
1t is stated that Guatemala has with
drawn her forces from the frontier and
that all is quiet at present. There is nC
