GUATEMALA REVOLUTION.
REPORT THAT 1T is AT AN
END CONFIRMED.
President Barrios Again in Com
plete Control of the Situation
Leader Of the Revolt.
rs Again in Com

| SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. S.-The
steamer City Of Para arrived to-day
from Central American ports, bringing
the latest news of the revolution in
Guatemala prior to the receipt Of the
dispatches telling of the re-capture of
| Quezaltenango by the Government
forces. While those on board had not
heard of the re-taking of Quezaltenan-
go, they are for the most part disin-
| clined to accept the news, as they say
that Barrios maintained a strict CEN
sorship over both press and telegraph.
Shortly before the City of Para left
San Jose de Guatemala ten days ago,
a conference of the American, English
and French Consuls was held, as the
result of which they waited upon Pres
ident Barrios and asked for informa-
| ton as to the use which he proposed
to make of the steamer City of Pana-
ma, informing him that it was current
| ly rumored that he intended to leave
the country. Barrios stated that he
proposed to use the vessel for the
transportation Of troops, and had no
intention of abandoning his followers.
| On September Doth Morales issued
proclamation throughout the city OF
Guatemala, offering to allow Barrs9s to
escape, in the hope of avoiding further
bloodshed, but the City of Para sailed
before Barrios' response was made
public.
| Consul-General Carrillo to-day re-
ceived a dispatch to the effect that the
revolution was at an end, and that Bar
rios was again in complete control OF
the situation, which was confirmed
later on by several private cables to
prominent business men who have
large interests in Guatemala.
! Isidor Schwartz, of the firm Of
| Schwartz Bros, the mercantile agents
of the Guatemalan Government, in an
| interview said: CAS- a matter of fact,
the late revolution in Guatemala was
| led by Damuel Fuentes, brotherin-law
of General Barrios, and not Prospero
Morales, as the world has been made
/ to believe. Fuentes was the father of
the revolution, but pushed Morales to
the front as his commanding General.
''As l have always argued, the better
classes were behind Barrios, and, with
a we'll organized and otherwise super
! ior military force the President has not
been long in putting to rout his politi-
cal enemies. The rainy condition OF
the roads caused much time to be con-
sumed in reaching Morales army, but
when it did meet it, Morales retired, as
| he has just done at Quezaltenango.
II regard Barrios' victory as most
| complete one, and predict that peace
will be entirely restored within very
few hours, for the majority of the peo-
pie are for peace, and are satisfied with
| the Barrios administration, notwith-
standing all reports to the contrary
that have been received here"
