Revolutionists in Possession of the
Government.
New York, July 22.-Uruguay is
practically in the hands of the rebels,
says the Herald's correspondent at
Montevideo, and the war is at an end.
While the rebels have not upset the
government, they have forced it into
corner from which there seems to be
no escape and the final result undoubt-
eddy will be a complete overthrow OF
the existing conditions in Uruguay.
An armistice between the rebels and
the government was signed a few DAYS
ago. 1t was to remain in force until
August 5. Peace negotiations were i'm
mediately set on foot.
These negotiations have led to a pro-
posal from the government to the reb-
el chief for peace, the rebels to be
given the presidency of the republic
and the governors of six provinces. In
addition every rebel who has ben dis
missed from the RAINY is to be rein
