no little concern throughout the whole
republican system OF the southern part Of

IN Guatemala and Costa Rica the re-

time, and, as is very well known, Periodi-
cal disquietude has prevailed there for
series Of years.
Monarchy is said to have a hand in
the disorders. an evidence OF which, is de-
cIared u have been shown in the assault
last week OF Arroyo upon President Diaz,
OF Mexico. a circumstance which Sc yeral
persons believe was Matched ia Guatemala.
1t seems, according TO these authorities,
that Aru.ifo Arroyo, who attacked PTesi-
dent Diaz in the streets, although a
tailor the City Of Mexico, was in reality
acting under orders from an anarchist
organization in Guatemala.

Advices ITOm Corint0, Nicaragua, say, a.
fh0ughthe revolution ia Nicaragua has been
quclled, tie country remains in a state of
siege and oppression. A severe and rigid
censorship is maintained over the teie-
graph and tie mails. Private and busi-
ness letters OF natives and foreigners alike
must he hsnded 70 the postmaster open for
his peTusal before they are mailed.
The general opinion IN Nicaragua is that

The news stating that the Costa
Rican consul IN Nicaragua, Don Eduardo
Beeche, has been thrown into prison in
Nanagua. Nicaragua, by order Of the presi-
dent, charged with completely in the re
beiIion there, caused a frenzied excite
mGnt. The situation is grave, and there
is q general belief that conflict between
the two countries is at hand.
TIE Incarceration CT Senor Becches IS
regarded in diplomatic circles as a serious
breach Of international etiquette. Mica
Tagua should. according 10 the opinion Of
the government of Costa Rica, have either
asked for The recall Of Senior Beeche OF
else given him his passports. There is
little doubt that Costa Rica VIII demand
the release Of Eer consul, with an apology
from Nicaragua
