More Revolution in Ecuador.

New York. Aug. ia special dis
patch from Panama to the Herald says
Telegraphic advices from the Herald's
correspondent in Guayaquil, Ecuador,
state that a leading newspaper Of that
city. a semi-ofticial organ, declares that
another conspiracy to overthrow the
government has been unearthed. The
base of operations of the conspirators,
ii is asserted, is in the Peruvian from
tier towns, and the leaders of the move
ment are conservatives, clericals and a
few liberal malcontents.
President Alfaro, who left Guayaquil
for Quito on August 5, has stopped at
Quaranda. midway between the capital
and Guayaquil. This is due, it is Off
cially reported, to the illness of his wife,
but there is a general belief that the
real cause was a rumor that the con-
spirators would soon begin operations
along the Peruvian frontier.
