A PRICE SET
ON BARRIOS
RumOr From Guatemala That
$4,000 Is Offered for
His Death.
Prospect That When the Coffee Crop
Is in There Will Be a General
Uprising.

There will be more fighting in Cen
trail America as soon as the coffee crop
is gathered. The rebellion in Guate-
mala is not dead; it is only sleeping.
No one knows what an hour will bring
forth, and another uprising may take
place at any time. Guatemala is not
the only place in which trouble is ex-
pected. In San Salvador the soldiers
are getting ready to turn their pruning
hooks into spears, and they also will
be ready for another passage at arms
as soon as the coffee crop is gathered.
In this connection it is said that a price
has been placed on the head of some of
the Central American Presidents, and
that the money is likely to be earned
before any fighting is done.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany's Acapulco arrived from Panama
and way ports Wednesday, and her Of
ficers say that they would not be sur
prised to hear of general uprising all
over Central America. General Flu
entes, who led the last uprising against
President BarriOs, is now in San Fran
cisco, but when all the plans for an up
rising in Guatemala are perfected he
will not remain long in this city. Flu
entes is a brother-in-law of Barrios,
but strange to say, they are political
enemies, and the news of the death Of
either would not be the saddest news to
the other.
We heard in Central American ports
that there was standing offer of $780,
600 for the death OF Barrios,' said one
of the officers of the Acapulco yester-
day. He is well guarded, however,
and whoever earns the blood money
Will have to run numerous risks. There
are hundreds ready to take the
chances, and as soon as the coffee crops
are in you will see that a number of
attempts will be made to take the life
of the President of Guatemala The
leaders of the late rebellion are all
within striking distance of the Guate-
malan frontier, and when their plans
are matured they Will make their pres
ence felt. In San Salvador the peo-
pie are also disaffected and they
are likely to be in open warfare with
one another before the year is very old.
In fact, things are likely to be very
lively in all the Central American re-
publics during the next six months.
Quite number of people whose bus
mess interests keep them in Guate-
mala have sent their wives and fam
lilies out of the country. Everything
was quiet along the coast when we
came up, but it is only a question as
to when the trouble will begin 4"

ervation and adornment. They will not
only be made useful and healthful to the
garrlsons, but made attractive homes for
the army by every means available for
that purpose. Commanding officers are
directed to give this subject their ear
nest attention and make acquisitions for
such appliances as may be necessary in
order.
The grounds, as far as practicable,
VIII be improved by utilizing such ma
terial as may be available for the pur-
pose: The shrubbery, trees and forests
on the reservation will be kept properly
pruned, brush and unSightly trees re-
moved, vines, fruit and ornamental trees
planted and cultivated, and grounds
properly ditched or drained. Live trees
IN the vicinity of the inhabited parts of
a military reservation will not be cut
down except on recommendation of the
post council of administration, approved
ders.
When reservations are of sufficient ex-
tent, and ii is practicable, they will be
stocked with game and all native singing
birds protected.
When required, requests will be made
through the proper military channels to
these headquarters for supplies of seeds
Tor grass, flowers, vines, fruit and orna-
mental trees.
This order was undoubtedly sug
gested to Major General Miles when
he visited this city a few years since,
and was most favorably impressed
Win the beauty OF the military post at
the Presidio, which is admitted by all
who have visited the military posts of
the United States to be the most at
tractive and well-kept one. The ideas
that are expressed in the order have
been carried out for many years at
that post, and as for game the reserva-

been added the work of man. 1t is

as is Golden Gate Park, does not re-

1t is possible that under the provisions
of the order quoted, which was issued
but few days since, many improve
ments will be made on the reserva-
ton.
