EXCITEMENT IN GUATEMALA,
The Revolutlonists Have Secret
Allies In New York.

The Conspiracy Has Been systematically
Matching for Some Time--The Popu-
lace Bent on the Presidents Downfa fall.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 1.-The GLOBE
Democrat has the following:
IL is stated from the city of Guate-
mala that an army which is receiving
constant accession from the country
through which it is marching is APP
preaching the capital in the direction of
Auezaltenango. Nothing more is known
as the wires are in the hands of the gov
eminent. Troops have been dispatched
from the city, it is said for the purpose
OF intercepting the march of the revo-
lutionists to the capital.
Great uneasiness has been occasioned
by the report that Salvadoris massing
troops on the frontier of Guatemala.
General Antonio Ezeta, who is a brother
of President Ezeta and who took a
prominent part in the recent Salvador
Guatemalan war has returned in haste
from San Salvador, the capital to Santa
Anna, his headquarters.
There is considerable excitement in
San Salvador regarding the revolt in
Guatemala. A ray of light has just
been thrown on the present trouble in
Guatemala by "A retired American officer
now residing in this city, whose truth
fulness is not to be doubted, but for
various good reasons he does not want
his name to appear in connection with
the following story:
According to the story he tells three
Americans, supplied with plenty of
money, visited the city about two months
ago. He was introduced to them at their
request and the same day an interview
was had at his house.
They did not deny the report that
there was revolutionary party in New
York that desired the downfall of Presi-
dent Barillas, governor in Guatemala,
and who were backed with funds to
carry the movement to sure success.
The plan of action, as explained to
the retired military man, was to send
experienced military officers into Guate-
mala, 10 or Is alta time. They were to be
met by emissaries of the revolutionist's
movement and distributed throughout
the republic and when the time was
ripe for them 10 take command. A
commission was offered to the officer in
this city, but he refused. While not
positively known it is believed that sew
eral Mexican officers were offered conf
missions, but they refused to take part
in the movement. He declares that the
present revolution is due to New York
parties, who arc furnishing funds and
ammunition to the insurgents.

prospect OF its transmission to the human
system by means Of milk and meat, was
discussed by the Veterinarian Association

the speakers was DIR. II. 2. Ewes Of this

immense numbers of tubercular COWS were
owned by the dairymen about Whining

the people of this city, were victims of
consumption. He was not sure that this
