A SERIOUS REvOLUTIoS.
Minister Tfllman's Advfces Regarding
the InsurrectiOn I'm Ecuador.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The impression
prevails in both the State and Navy depart
ments that the revolution in Ecuador will
be quite serious affair before the internal
troubles there are settled. No advices have
been received concerning the recent en-
gagement. The State Department has re-
ceived from Minister Tillman a letter dated
July 20, which shows what the situation
at that time. In it Mr.. Tillman says
there are no indications of an early settle
ment of the complicated political conditions
of that country. Alfaro, who reached
Guayaquil on the 18th or 18th of
June. was still there with an armed
force amounting, as claimed by his
men. The government force at Quito was
thought might be increased to four thou
sand. The plateau between the eastern and
western ranges of mountains was con-
trolled at the time OF Mr.. T1llman's writing
by the small army of the conservatives.
General Saraste, with one thousand men,
was at Guayaranda, hundred miles north
Guayaquif from Quito The government
forces had captured fifty or sixty men
from the north of Quito who. in company
pass TO the. south. Bishop Schumacher, of
Portiviejo, with $50 men, was expected TO
arrive at Quito July 20. There was TO be
crowned by the archbishop with laurels and
wreaths of flowers. Ii seemed that he had
defeated a few hundred of the followers of
Alfaro. Alfaro's plans and his strength
were not definitely known at Quito when
Mr.. Tillman wrote. but he says that it
was admitted on all sides that his advance
TO the capital few weeks before would
have been easy. Mr.. Tillman adds that the
strangest feature of the revolution is that
with the exception OF a few officers or
leaders, the armies are composed of the

NEW YORK. Aug. 16.-President Palma,
of the Cuban revolutionary headquarters,
said to-day that distinguished Cuban now
in this city on a secret mission, had re-
ceived a letter dated Aug. 4, from his
brother, one of the best-known artists in
Cuba, describing an. engagement that had
taken place on that day. The letter in part
says: General Gomez, with 500 cubans,
attacked convoy Of Spanish troops going
from Guiamaro to Port Au Prince, on Aug

1900 and were we'll equipped. The fighting
was hot and heavy and at one time the
patriots almost succeeded in capturing the
convoy. A Spanish major and another off,
Ger were killed; also, seventy soldiers. The
Cuban loss was trifiing."
The letter. like all advices from Cuba, is
very indefinite as to details. 1t is reiterated
every day at Cuban headquarters that the
lack of detailed news is owing to the strict
censorship exercised by the Spanish au-
thorities over the mail and telegraph lines
President Palma and his colleagues profess
to believe, however that the engagements
that have thus far taken place have been
in favor of their side. They point to the
fact that General Campos, in asking for
