The ATTEMPT to connect the italian pop
lation OF New Orleans with the murder of
the chief of police, thereby to give the
color of pretext for the terrible murder, by
mob, of unarmed and helpless prisoners,
suspected of that crime, has turned out
grim and CHASTITY farce. Whilst by our

ARMY STREET.
Long Arguments Against the Proposed
Change of Grade.

Long Arguments Against the Proposed
Change of Grade.
The proposition to change the established
grade of Army street is now commanding
the attention of the Street Committee of the
Board of Supervisors and promises before
the matter is disposed Of to prove vexatiuus
task.
The committee held special meeting to
hear the principal protestants against the
change, ex-Judge o. c. Pratt and NJ. Jones,
who own pretty nearly a majority OF the
frontage along that portion OF the street
where thu change is proposed.
EX-Ju1ge Pratt argued for more than an
hour. He first stated that the original cost
OF grading Army street was $4,000 inde-
| pendent of the two extensions, and then
read the conditions in the deed conveying
| the property to the city, one of which was
that the grade should not be changed with
| out the consent of a majority of the front
| age.
One of the main arguments advanced in
| behalf OF the desired raise is that the sewer
! is not high enough to give proper drainage.
! Mr. Pratt explained the fallacy of such an
| argument by showing that to raise the grade
Of Army street six feet would not affect the
| drainage in any respect, except to make
any desired raise in the future all the more
! impossible by burying tine present sewer six
feet deeper under the surface.
The supporters of the raised grade, he
! said should not overlook the fact that the
work contemplated does not include raising
the sewer ut the same time, ami the state
ments that the sewer is out OF repair, Mr..
| Pratt said, are wholly unfounded, as he
| knew that it had been examined from one
end to the other by competent men within a
few days.
1t had been found in good condition, but
| little clogged at the mouth. AS for fall, it
| is sufficient for all practical purposes. much
| better than in many of the more important
systems in the business part of the city, and
! if provided with a sufficient outlet would
never give any trouble. The fall is about
| one foot to 100.
Mr.. Pratt said in conclusion that he is Op-
| posing the change because it meant prac-
tically the coniScation of much property
| fronting on the street owned by poor people,
| who could not afford the expense. He did
not think it Just course to make the imme-
date frontage bear AL the expense. Ii the
| Supervisors would describe a district to be
assessed according to benefits and damage
! he would withdraw every objection to the
| project so far as he is concerned.
The committee decided tn postpone action
till two weeks from yesterday, meanwhile
all the members will go out aud view the
premises personally.

called are not relieved from the service until
given an audience. and should like to lay
my case personally before Mr.. Blaine"
Were the reports OF your being threat
ened with violence true?" was asked.
Not in any particular. In fact the re-
ports sent out to the American newspapers
were fabrlcations from beginning to end.
The only ground for any report of threat
ened violence arose from the fact that
daughter of Barrundia called upon me on
the day succeeding her fathers death and
took occasion to heap TRADE of abuse upon
my head. l replied to her quietly in Spanish
and she was finally induced 10 go away.
She made no attempt to assault me, but
was told afterward that she had in her hand
pistol while talking to me. Ii may have
been so, but l did not see the weapon.
General Barllas heard of the incident and
sent an aid-de-camp to the legation at onre
10 assure me OF protection from repetl-
ton of the scene.
Was there any feeling against you over
the Barrundia affair on the part of the peo-
pie OF Guatemala? '
None Whatever. On the evening follow
ing the shooting, went to the plaza to hear
the music, accompanied only by my wife.
In truth, Barrundia was looked upon as
bad man, and the people felt no regret on
his DEATH

What will be the result of your recall?"

hostile toward ii, and will endeav0r to re-
trieve by war what it has lost Salvador,
on the other hand, is encouraged by the ap-
parent position of this Government, and Is
already assuming bellgerent tone. En-
lssarieS from both Governments are now IN
Europe purchasing arms and munitions
OF war, and the prospects now are that
renewal of h0stilitieS will follow the har-
vesting of the coffee crop in March. l do
notsee how it can well be averted."
L understand that it has been reported
here that President Barilas had made
preparations to leave the country and was
keeping steamer in readiness to escape
when The crisis arrived. This you can stale
positively is not true. fIe is a popular man
with the masses, and very intelligent
ruler. He prides himself on the fact that he
is of pure Indian blood, and this fact makes
him a great fayorite with the mass OF the

blr. Miner in conclusion referred briefly
to the recent election, and said that Bar
rundla was about as unpopular in Guate-
mala as the Mckinley bill seemed to be in
