IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
The State on the Eve Of Revo!utIon.

Chicago, Sept. 2.--John Rice Chandler,
correspondent of the Associated Press
in Guatemala, arrived from that coun-
try today and was requested to make a
full and frank statement Of the situation
in Central America, now that he is IN
American soil.
Chandler has been in the service of the
United States in Central and South Amer
lea for several years. He says: 'Srhere is
a general belief that the Central Ameri-
cans are on the eve of revolution. Re-
Gently this belief has apparently been
backed up by telegraphic reports Of sew
eral journals in the United States. In
truth, -four out of five republics are today
apparently quiet. The fifth, Salvador, has
had some riots recently, due to the con-
nivanses Of Ezeta, headed by General
Antonio Ezeta, who is now in San Fran
cisco, trying to organize a filibustering
party with American capital in Califor-
MIA The other republics are doing their
best to build up their national credit
and keep turbulent elements in their
places. The country is rich in minerals,
as well as all tropical products and only
needs energy and capital of Americans to
build up new Eldorado."

80 patrolmen, distributed in three
squads of IL each, as follows: Day
duty--Marshal, detective, :. jailor and
one squad of IL patro!men. Night
duty-Chief of police, jailor and two
squads of IL patrolrnen each.
, 1.-THE system adopted last year of
changing shifts Is still in vogue. which
gives each patrolman two weeks day
duty to four weeks night duty. and has
proved very satisfactory. The follow
ing changes have occurred in the force
during the year: The Office of SER
geant has been abolished; the vacan-
cies made by the deaths of Officers
Krambeck and Nichols and also by the
designations of Officers Paquette,
walsh. Parker and CARNEY, have been
filled by regulars. The vacancies made
by Officers Steinborn and Nichol. who
were injured while in the performance
of their duties and are still unable To
report for the same, have been filled
by specials until further orders from
the police commission.

and general morals of the department
