PRESIDENT BARRIOS.
Carries Things With a High Hand
in Guatemala.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24.-The fol-
lowing dispatch was received here to-
day:
LA LIBERTAD (San SALVADOR, Sept.
24.-Barrios shot Juan Apar1cio in
Quesaltenango on the day that the rev.
olutionists took San Marcos. A tele-
gram received to-day by one of the
leading mercahnts of this city gives the
news that Morales and his 12,OOO to
$4,000 victorious troops are in Antigua.
Juan Aparicio was the most promi-
nent exporter and importer in Central
America, whose house is represented in
LCndon, Paris and New York. This
news was confirmed by a dispatch re-
ceived from Aparicios business house
in New York.
Members of the Central American
colony in this city say that if Barrios is
bold enough to cause the murder of so
eminent a man as Aparicio he will not
hesitate to carry out wholesale slaugh-
ter among the people who oppose him.
A meeting will be held here to-mor-
row for the purpose of sending petit
ton to the State Department to take
some action to put an end to the Sc
we're censorship now prevailing in Qua
temala. so that people here can receive
news from their friends in that country.
No cause is assigned in the news re-
ceived here for the killing of Aparicio,
but there is every reason to believe that
he was shot because he refused to give
moral and financial aid to Barrios.

INDIA WAR.
British Postpone the General Ad-
vance on the Afridis.

SIMLA, Sept 24.-Owing to the pro-
tracted campaign against the Moh-
mounds, Sir VIM. Lockhart, commander
of the Puniab frontier forces, and in
supreme control of the punitive oper-
ations, has decided TO postpone the
general advance against the Afridis at
Tirah, their summer headquarters, un-
til October 9th.
The Afri1is are encamped in a strong
position on a rugged plateau, which it
will be most dicult to scale, and they
are assembled there in great force.
According to intelligence received
from Samana, an advance body of over
= 600 of the enemy has arrived in the
Khanti Valley, and is watching the
movements of the British troops. The
Afridis are spreading a report that the
Ameer of Afghanistan has demanded
hostages from them, and will help them
if hostages are given.
The news from the Mohmound expedi-
ton is very satisfactory. General JEFF
freys, who is meeting with little oppo-
sition, is destroying the enemy's forti-
fications and villages. The tribesmen
appear cowed, and overtures of sur
render are expected very shortly. 1t
appears that they lost over seventy
killed and a large number of wounded
during the night attack on Sir Bindon
BlOod's column, their heavy defeat de-
stroying their faith in the Mullah, who
had promised to close the muzzles of
the British guns by divine power.

PORT TOWNSEND, Sent. 4.-The
tug Pioneer, which left Puget Sound on
September 18th with the bark Shirley
in tow for Skaguay, returned at !
o'clock this morning, having made the
run down in ninety-six hours.
The Pioneer brings the story Of a
landslide which occurred near Sheep
Camp, on the Chilcoot Pass, last Sun
day morning in which eighteen men are
said to have lost their lives. Only one
body is said to have been recovered,
that of man named Choynski, cousin
of Joe Choynski, the prize fighter. The
men supposed to have been lost We're
packers on the Dyea trail.
The officers of the Pioneer say that
the story was brought to Skaguay on
Sunday evening by three men, who told
at in such a way as to leave no doubt as
TO its truthfulness. They described the
avalanche as consisting of rocks, ice
sand dirt. which had been loosened by
the recent unprecedented hard rain,
which had been falling continuously for
the past month. All the bridges on the
Skaguay River have been washed out
and the river is a raging torrent.
w. w. Sprague of Tacoma, who started
started eight weeks ago with three
years outfit, returned from Skaguay on
the Pioneer. The steamer Al-Ki, week
overdue from Alaska, arrived this morn
Ding at 1 o'clock. She carried large list
of men returning from Skaguay who
were unable to cross the pass. The snow
is six inches deep at Lake Bennett and
three inches fell on the summit of the
Chilcoot Pass last Saturday.
CAPTAIN NELSON'S STORY.
PORT TOWNSEND, Sept. 4-Cap-
tain Nelson, master Of the tug Pioneer,
says:
Three men came to Skaguay Beach
on Monday night with a story to the
effect that at Sheep Camp. at 3:3O
o'clock Monday morning, a peculiar
sound from the southwest side of the
mountain was heard, and before the res
idents Of the camp could fully dress
they found themselves being rapidly
borne down the canyon on a mass of
moving debris from the mountain side.
A majority of the residents of Sheep
Camp escaped, though nearly the entire
village was destroyed. The slide struck
the town in the northern part, where
nearly all the packers We're quartered in
tents and asleep. The main part of
the slide from the mountain missed
Sheep Camp proper, although from the
report very little of the town remains
The packers camp was wholly carried
away. and it is impossible to learn the
names of the unfOrtunates, as they were
all known by their surnames, such as
Jack Jim, Dick, etc. The cause of the
slide was reported to be the action of
heavy rains on the hills, where sort
iof reservoir was formed, which body of
water and weight forced the land down
into the basin below. Never before have
such heavy rains been experienced in the
neighborhood of the Chilcoot Pass"
