from the plaza, being soundly stoned at
every step. After that the masses elect
| ed their orators and the most violent
and incendiary speeches followed The
news of the riot spread rapidly, and
soon Barillas threw battalion of in.
fantry into the large square for the
purpose of dispensing the mob, They,
with fixed bayonets, attempted to carry
the plaza by assault They were met
with shower of stones and bullets
from revolvers. This unexpected ac-
ton of the mob put them to ignomin-
ious flight, leaving many dead and
wounded in the plaza.
| The uproar was something to be long
remem bered. Mem ers of the mob
shouted: Lets storm the national pal
ace kill Barillas and restore repub-
lican form of government. Guatemala
should not be ruled by a dictator;"
''Plundering of the national treasury
must cease" Barillas then ordered
artillery into the plaza and infantry
and two cannon to guard his residence.
When the guns were turned on the mob
there was a general dispensing of them,
though they discharged their revolvers
at the artillery men. They left the
plaza, but fought in the side streets;
in fact, they practically during
the night of the 18th held full
control of the city, though at
intervals they were attacked by the
infantry, who shot many of them.
A special to the Anglo-American from
Newton, on the line between Guate-
mala and Mexico, received in this city
at o'clock this afternoon, and deliv-
cred to that telegraphic station by spe-
cial courier, brings the information
that Barillas is master of the situation,
he having put down the revolt in the
City of Guatemala after three DAYS of
hard fighting. The revolt was pre-
ciptated by Montufar, a son of
one Of the candidates for the presi.
dency, who is strong partisan
of Barillas, in attempting to
make a political speech on Independ-
ence day. A mob threw him and his
friend from the platform in the main
plaza, pelting them with stones until
they found shelter in neighboring
house. From that time until the night
of the 18th there was street fighting,
sometimes the mob being in control of
the city and at other times the army.
The arrival of troops from adjoining
districts eventually restored Barillas to
power, and the whole city is now in
tested with soldiers. Martial law has
been declared. 1t was expected when
the courier left the City of Guatemala
that Barillas would declare himself die
tator, so as to prolong his term of office.

was still in progress when he left. Ac-
cording to his story, the people of that
city were celebrating the anniversary
of their national holiday. 1t appears
that President Barillas had personally
appointed the orators of the day. To
this the masses took exception, and
when the orators took the rostrum it
was a signal for a storm of stones
which set them to fight, they being
chased across the big plaza by
bowling mob which shouted at the
top of their voices: Down with the

It Was Intensely Practical But Not Less
Funny Than Practical

Funny Than Practical
Rev. Dr. Delanno, a well-known
clergyman, tells a funny story of one
of Bob Burdette's practical jokes, OF
which he happened to be the unfort-
innate victim. He and Burdette were
lecturing in Bristol, and while there.
Mr.. Delanno had received from his
brother two silver spoons, heirlooms of
the family. These he placed loosely in
the pocket of his overcoat and thought
no more about them Shortly after
ward, going to dine in restaurant, he
met his co-lecturer, Mr.. Burdette.
While here, he exhibited the spoons,
and the joker's eyes began to twinkle.
The two left the restaurant together,
the clergyman throwing his overcoat
loosely over his arm. On reaching the
sidewalk, Mr. Burdette gave the coat a
sudden fling, and the spoons fell to the
pavement.
Great was the divine's establishment
as he stopped to pick them up, thinking
1t all an accident, to hear Mr.. Burdette
call loudly for the police.
A large crowd quickly gathered and
a uniformed preserver of the peace
quickly appeared on the scene.
what is the matter?'' he asked
''Matterw responded the joker, with
serious face, this man just came out
of that restaurant and two silver
spoons dropped from his pocket He is
evidently a thief disguised as a clergy
man. See what guilty look he has"
The minister certainly did look guilty
after hearing these words from his
friend, and if it had not been for the
arrival of several acquaintance the
policeman would no doubt have taken
him into custody.
Then they hunted for Mr.. Burdette,
but he had disappeared, leaving card
in the hands of bystander to be de-
livered to the minister. On it was
written the words:
Keep the spoons, asyou may be able |
to bail yourself out with them. Phil |

Saent is adopted by vote Of the people.
its conditions will not be accepted by
the Lottery company. II this is true,
we fail to see Why the ants might not
at once give up the fight as the quickest
way to victory. If there is no revenue
there will be no lottery, and tie people
of Louisiana will unanimously agree to
annul the constitutional amendment.
The only reason for recharter is the
immense revenne that it will give the
State. and if this is withheld there will
be no lottery. The Clarion may rest
assured of this fact, and if its prediction
is likely to be verified there is no use in
opposing the amendment. - Baton
