Jean Fernandez. a wealthy merchant OF
Buenos Ayres, Argentine Republic, passed
through the city yesterday morning, bound
for New York
When asked about the recent rebellion in
his country he said: SIT was a schooiboy
affair, but 1000 lives were lost as result of
it. The people are very impulsive, and
alter they DO the mischief then they COM
meuce TO reason. 1t is hard to explain what
caused the trouble. Nobody seems to knew.
1t appears TO have started first with the rise
in gold and the revolt of the Catholic
Church against the liberality of the Govern
ment.
You see, the country is diviied into
provinces and territories ruled by provincial
governors. Buenos Avres is the principal
seaport, and all the goods and money from
foreign nations used to further the agri-
cultural interests in the interior pass
through this city.
Objected to a Granger President
''The fact is that Buenos Ayres, being a
Federal city. feels its importance, and will
not be ignored. The President came from
one OF the provinces, having been elected
by the agricultural element. Buenos
Ayres was not represented in the
cabinet, and some o. the citizens there soon
began to foment trouble. They worked with
the women through the Catholic Church,
which is the prevailing religion, but all
churches are allowed to exist under the
laws, and they succeeded in stirring up
rebellion. But, like a premature explosion
of dynamite, the affair went of too soon,
and the Government troops came down and
wiped them out. Then the people got
the impression that there was some
thing back of the trouble, and
that it was more serious than represe nted,
and they became frightened and Joined the
insurgents The outcome was that the Presi-
dent was deposed and be was succeeded by
the Vice President.
The Form of G overnment Unchanged.
"The other officers of the old Government
were retained, and the only change made
was the substitution of one man for the
other. The form of government was not
affected, and remains the same.
''Ot course, the financial condition of the
country was greatly disturbed, and we have
received reverse which time will over
but our resources are enormous and equal
10 all emergencies. As long as the United
Civilians-as the insurgents call themselves
remain quiet, the Government is secure
and all investments are safe. The people
now realize their blunder, and they are
heartily ashamed of their foolish actions. If
they are dissatisfied with their President
there are peaceful methods by
which they can rid themselves
ef him. have great faith in their recuper-
stive powers, and every year they are becom-
cation and culture sustain the Catholic
Church. In fact, the department of culture
represents this faith. The members of the
church were opposed to the liberal policy of
the Government, and they are to a certain
extent responsible for the uprising.
Unable to Land With Any Safety.
''Why, when was returning home from
business trip on a tug, found the people
had taken possession of the three war
vessels in the harbor. The naval officers
were with them, and they turned the guns
on the Presidents house. 1t was i'm
possible to land without getting into line
with the fire, and before l could get on
shore | had TO run the gauntlet. l don't
think they intended to fire on everything
indiscriminatelv, but to do up the Presi-
dent it was necessary for them to endanger
the lives of everybody who wanted to land.
"Yes, money is as scarce in South America
as it is here. The same condition OF affairs
prevails everywhere. L can't see why it
should be SO in this country; you have your
Mckinley bill, and all that you desire in
the way of protective legislation. L can't
understand the cause of depression in the
money market, and haven't vet received
satisfactory explanation from anyone.
Stocks have been badly inflated"
Mr.. Fernandez had several fur skins with
him that were much admired. They were
pieced together very cleverly by the Indians,
and the seams could not be detected. The
skin was taken from wild animal of the
country that lives in the high attitudes. 1t
is very light, and the natives use them on
their beGs to keep warm in the winter.
