DISCOURAGED
A New Outbreak Which Threatens to
Prove More Serious Than the
Morales Revolt

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-A dispatch to
says: The outbreak in the eastern de-

the one just put down in the west, head
ed by General Prospero Morales, DAN
iel Fuentes Barrios and Manuel San
chez who was killed. The other lead
ers. after their fight from QueZalter-
aOgo, went toward the Mexican border,
where it is reported they disbanded their
men.

the large quantity of arms and NUM-
tions of war they carried with them. Ii
is confidently believed, however, by rebel
sympathizers that the Leaders will re-
organize their mer. and. make fresh
effort against Barrios.
In the meantime Colonel Jose Leon
Castillo, Colonel Rosendo, General Pc
dro Barril,os and Colonel Jose Montufa
hold the principal towns in the east,
Chiquimulza and Zacafa, cutting off all
government conn ection with the Allan
tic seaboard. Mali from the United

Livingston, was returned, the rebels
belrg in possession OF the northern rail-
way leading to that port.

cording to advices received here today
from Guatemala, the irsurgent army
is still intact, and has not yet met with

empha tically denied, and ii is announced
that he is a the head of his troops at
San Marcos, and within fifteen miles OF
the City of Guatemala. The announce
