REVOLUTION IN GUATEMALA.

ST.. LOUIS, Sept. GA dispatch
from the City Of Mexico says re-
yolution has been precipitated in
the Republic of Guatanala will
questionable become general" A
gentleman who left the City of Qua
tanlala on the morning Of the 10th
inst and who has just reached TINS
city on horseback from Acapulco
brings information of an outbreak
which occurred in Guatamala on
the 18th inst and was still in pro
gress when he left. According to
his story the people of that city were
celebrating the anniversary OF their
national holiday. 1t appears Prcsi
dent Barrilas had personally ap
pointed the orators of the day. This
the masses took exception to and
when orators took the rostrum II
was a signal for a storm of STONES
which set them to fligAt. An excit
ing scene followed and every known
liberal or Barrilas partisan was
driven from the plaza. After thai
the masses elected their own orator
md the most violent and incen liary
speeches followed News of the
riot spread rapidly and soon Barrillas
threw battalion of infantry into
ihe large square for the purpose OF
lispersing the mob. They with
fixed bayonets attempted to carry
the plaza by assault but were met
with shower of stones aud bullets
from revolvers. This action of the
mob put them to flight leaving
many dead and wounded. BarIi rs
then ordered the artillery into the
plaza, and infantry and two cannonS
to guard his residence. When the
guns we're turned on the mob it dis
persed, the people left the plaza but
fought inside the streets, IN facI
they practically, during the night o
the 18th had full control of the city
though at intervals they were at
tackled by the infantry who shot
many of them. 1t is thought this
will cause general revolt through
out the entire Republic of Guata
mala and engender war In all othe
Central American states. A stric
coersion is maintained over all pres
dispatches and the mail Is ais
trifled with to prevent the leaking
of any information concerning tn
actual condition of the country.
