Washington Aug. 25. The assassination
of President Borda OF Uruguay was not
altogether a surprise to the officials here.
who have watched the recent outbreaks In
Uruguay. The last mail advices received
here showed that the revolution had
broken out afresh the peace delegates
from the insurgents having given up the
hope of securing peace and Withdrawn
the Argentine Republic.
Further agitation was occasioned by the
reports that the government receipts had
shrunk 81 100000 during the year. as re-
suit of the revolution. The last issue of
the Montevideo. Times, received here,
states that the president remained away
from the state house in evident fear of his
life. Al the same time a Colorado" or
junta of those seeking to overthrow che
government had established active opera
tions at The capitol. The assassination of
the president doubtless will bring the
country to a revolutionary crisis, which
has been long impending.
The revolution thus far has been con-
fined 10 the country districts, where sew
eral extensive engagements have been
fought, the government forces securing
the advantage. There Is no Uruguayan rep

Declares That England Has No Right
to Suzerainty in That Republic.
Pretoria, South Africa, Aug. 25.-At the
meeting Of the volksraad to-day President
Kruger delivered a speech which is like
ly to cause the greatest excitement in
Great Britain.
He said that the relations between Great
Britain and the South African republic
are regulated by the convention Of 1884
He added that in the convention Of No
vember 1881, a reference to the suzerainty
of Great Britain did appear but tnat in
the next convention, that of 1884, not a
single word appeared bearing precisely
upon that point and since then suzerainty
had ceased to exist.
This, he continued, did not do away
with the fact that the South African re-
public and the whole nation recognized
the convention and would endeavor to
maintain it entirely, but they could not
recognize the suzerainty of Great Britain
because 1t was entirely opposed to the
convention. They wished to maintain
friendly relations with the whole world.
and in this way race hatred would grad
ually disappear Wherever love dwelt

MAnYLAND,s REPUBLICANS.
They VIII Have n Split In the Party
at Baltimore to Heal.


Baltimore, Nd, Aug. 25.-The republican
state convention, which will meet at the
Atlantic pavilion at Ocean City to-mor-
row, promises to be one of the liveliest
in the history of the party in Maryland.
The convention will nominate candi-
dates for state controller and clerk Of the
court of appeals. A new state central
committee will also be elected. But the
chief interest in the conclave centers
about the result of the fight in the ranks
of the party in this city. The contest for
mayoralty nomination, Senator Wellington
as leader of the organization, has endors-
ed Theodore Marburg. The friends OF
William 7. Malster, president of the Co
lumbian works, protested against having
their champion thus ignored and made
an issue before the people, Malster de-
veloping great strength at the primary
elections held in his interest The two
sets of primaries eliminated in two city
conventions, which last night named two
candidates for mayor At the same time
in each Of the three legislative districts
which cover the entire city. two district
conventions were held, each nominating
fun delegations to the state convention
Which of these delegations will be recog-
nized by the convention is the mooted
question.
Senator George L. Wellington left here
last night for Ocean City. AS chairman
of the state central committee he will call
the convention to order. In discussing
the condition Of affairs in Baltimore, the
senator said that the real cause of the
trouble was ambitions and jealousies. He
thinks that the state convention will sus-
tain The organization.
State Controller Robert P. Graham is a
candidate for denomination, and will prob
ably be successful.

o'clock and made a speech to the strikers.

to stop them from marching on the public
thoroughfare as .ong as their mission was

lead the procession. The band. with Do
Ian at its head and the marchers following,
then started down the road TO so under the
tramway and on to the camp. When Do
Ian reached the tramway he was told by

reason why, he was told that the move
was a violation Of the law according to the
injunction. This Doan denied and the

president was about 50 years Of age. He
was married and had family and also
a brother, who is an officer in the Uruguay
army He was elected three years ago,
being a combination candidate" OF sew
eral parties.
So far as is known he had not been very
popularly Identified with the people, nor
had he held any number Of important Of
fees.
His elevation to the chief magistracy IS
said to have been distasteful TO the more
advanced element OF the people
Much interest attaches to the nationality
of the assassin Of the President. 1T would
not be surprising" said one dip.omat in
speaking of the affair tonight, If the
murderer belonged 10 the socialists or an
archists. There are a number OF the so
ciety of socialists in Uruguay. Many Of
them are sent out OF their native countries
and come to Uruguay, where they con-
tinue the propagation Of their ideas"
At the time of Senor Bordas election
he belonged TO the official party, and was
elected by a very narrow majority. The
people Ii was said, were sadly disappoint-
ed at the result. but order and quiet was
maintained. The leading papers Of Uru-
quay deplored the election of Seuor Bor-
da, and declared that it marked a reae-
tion in the country's progress.
Later President Borda issued a procla-
nation to the effect that his administra-
tion would conduct the business of the
state in the interest of the whole nation,
and that he would invite the assistance
of all political parties to that end. This
proclamation made a very favorable inn
preston.
An attempt was made to assassinate
the president on the afternoon of April
q last. An unknown man met President
Borda on the street and shot at him
The president escaped without injury and
the criminal was captured. on that oc-
cason the president, accompanied by his
aide, Lieut. Col. Turrene, had been horse
back riding AS he dismounted in front
of the government palace a youth ap-
preached him and drew a pistol. Before
the trigger could be pulled Lieut. Col
Turrene struck up the arm of the would
be assassin, and the bali passed over the
presidents head.
Another attempt to assassinate him was
made on May 20, when he received a
bomb sent to him from La Plata, Argen-
tine. 1t was in box and SO arranged
that it would explode when the box was
opened Fortunately, suspicion was arous-
ed and the box was turned over to the
police and destroyed.
