BUENos AYREs. Sept. 25.-Ex-Presi-
dent Pelligrini. unuismayed by the
threat of the rebels to shoot him on the
spot if he again falls into their hands,
has safely arrived before Tucuman and
telegraphs here that he expects the reb-
els will soon surrender.
Other advices, however, have it that
the foreign colonists of Santa Fe and its
neighborhood are joining in the rebel
lion. and that some bloody engagements
between the rebels and the government
may be expected hourly.
1t is now an admitted fact that de-
termined rebellion against President
SaenZ-Pena and his government is on
foot, and if the foreign element las
taken hand in it against the president
and his party his downfall is not I'M
likely, as the foreign interests are pow
erlul and well represented here. AS
this dispatch is sent the whole OF the
Argentine Republic is cOnvulSed with
excitement, and revolution is IN prog
resS throughout the North at least.
Government reports may attempt to
belittle the situation, but this does not
alter the fact that the Argentine Re-
public is taking up arms for and against
President SaenZ-Pena.
There was severe fighting all day yes
terday throughout the disturbed district
and more Is expected today. AT Santa
Fe some of the troops have already sided
with the rebels and the latter expect to
receive further reinforcementS from the
same source. This is the situation from
the
REBEL STANDPOINT.

GRIM is leaving 10 stone unturned to
crush the rebellion, and he knows that
his life depends upon the success or fail
ure TO do SO. With the object of defeat
ing his enemies, for the rebellion is as
much aimed at Pelligrini as at SaenZ-
Pena, the adherents of the eX-preSident
have organized, armed and equipped the
national guards of the districts of San
Luis. Santiago and Cordoba. and some
lively fighting is looked for tomorrow.
The important province of Entire
Rios, having 100000 inhabitants. is
sending several battalions of its ma
tional guard to the support of eX-Presi-
dent Pelligrinl, and he soon hopes to be
at the head of an army large enough 10
subdue the rebels. THIS, the eX-presl-
dents friends claim. will be done in
short order. There is no doubt that
Pelligrini is powerful, and he has many
influential friends who are rallying to
his support. In addition 10 being will.
ing to support him. the friends of Pelli-
GRIM have money which it is believed
will be freely placed at his disposal.
This will be an Important factor i'll de-
Gliding which side will come out on top.
Later in the day dispatches were re-
ceived here which show that the situa
ton Is growing more serious every
hour. The rebels are now pressing
Santa Fe on the east bank of the Rio
Saiado. and five miles from Bajada de
Santa Fee, capital of Entire Rios. Tie
population vi Santa Fee is about 1900,
and it has an extensive trade with the
interior.
In this province and capital the ma
tIOnal guards have been called to arms,
and large bodies of these troops will be
sent TO The front as soon as they are
armed and equipped.
The Argentine army only consists of
