AN ENGLISH CONCESSION.
May Hasten the Completion Of the Mic
aragua Canal.

Washington, Oct. A. - The report
that bill has been passed by the con-
gress of Nicaragua granting 80 year
franchise to the Atlas Steamship Com
pany, OF London, for the exclusive
steam navigation of the Rio San Juan
del Norte, with authority to deepen the
channel at various points and also to
construct a railroad from the Silicon
lagoon to the river, cannot be officially
confirmed here.
If the Nicaragua congress has granted
concession to the Atlas company, that
action may arouse quite diplomatic
discussion between representatives of
the Greater Republic OF Central Ameri-
ca and the United States.
The solution of the complications
into which the three governments are
drifting may be treaty between the
United States and the Greater Republic
for the completion of the Nicaragua
canal by this government.
1t is stated by persons familiar with
Nicaragua canal affairs that either the
United States or the Nicaragua Canal
Company will institute an inquiry con-
cerning the grant to the Atlas company.
These two waterways (the San Juan
river and Lake Nicaragua are said to
form two Of the links of what will ulti-
mately be the Nicaragua canal.
The state department recently re-
ceived report from Consul O'Hara, of
Nicaragua, giving brief details Of the
concessions granted to the British COM
pany, and stating that it embraced vari-
GUS exclusive privileges in the Silicon
lagoon, the San Juan river and Lake
Nicaragua. Since then additional in
formation has become available as to
the plans Of the Atlas company.

THE GUATEMALA OUTBREAK !.
Dictator Barrios Carrying
Matters With High Hand.
MATCH FOR BUTCHER wEyLER


Americans Compelled to Flee the Coun-
try for safety Outbreak Occurs In n
Fresh Place-outlook Bad.
San Francisco, Oct. 4 The steamer
San Bias arrived from Central Ameri-
can ports today with the first authentic
details of the revolution in Guatemala.
The revolution broke out on September
6, and was participated in by several
departments, viz: San Marcos, Quezal-
tenango. Huehuetenange, Tatonicopan,
Mazakenango, Ouiche and Salola.
The revolt was opened with an attack
upon the outposts of Quezaltenango and
other districts. which proved eminently
successful. The revolutionists, how
ever, withdrew to gather reinforce
ments from the surrounding country,
and three days after the first shot was
fired, the government sent the follow
ing into the field: General l. g. Leon,
with 1900 men; General S. Toledo,
with AZ pieces of artillery and 1900
men. One battery promptly deserted
to the enemy after leaving the city.
On September 9, j. Castillo, aid to
Morales, arrived on the scene with an
immense force OF malcontents from
neighboring provinces, and, after a
sharp engagement, took the city of
Quezaltenango. Meanwhile, Barrios
was carrying matters with high hand
among the rebels within the citadel.
Needing money, he applied to Don Juan
Apricio, a well-known capitalist,
through the medium of General Rogue
Morales, who is noted for his cruelty.
Knowing that the loan would mean his
financial ruin, Apricio hesitated. and
was promptly taken to the castle and
strung up by the thumbs. Upon re-
flsal to accede to the demands made
upon him, Apricio was lashed until he
tainted from the torture, and, still be-
ing obdurate when he recovered his
senses, Morales cursed him and shot
him dead. His many friends, however,
had their revenge shortly afterward, for
when the city of Quezaltenango was
taken, Rogue Morales was shot without
the courtesy of q trial. Grave accusa-
tions Of cruelty to women, the wives
and slaves of men who had Joined the
revolutionists, are made against the die
tat0r Barrios.
The San Bias brought party Of IA
Americans from the scene of the revolu-
tion. all of whom agree that it will be
long time before peace is again re-
stored. Four of the party left Quezalt-
mango after the town had been sur
rounded by government troops and or
ders had been issued that no one should
be allowed to leave. They state that
Americans are thrown into Jail on the
slightest proyocation. on the ground
that they are plotting against Barrios,
and say that nine Americans were IN
prison at Quezaltenango. The mer-
chants of Guatemala City are expecting
siege at any time, and have made
preparations to close their places Of
business at moments notice.
