BARRIOS Is SECURE.

San Diago, Cal, Nov. 2i.-The U. S.
S. Alert came into port today, eleven
days from Acapulco. The Alert left
San Francisco on her way south on
September IS, her first point of destin-
alton being Oscos in Guatemala.
When the Alert reached there the in
surgents had looted the custom house,
taking about $4,000 and had left for
the interior. The government forces
were in possession of the town and
the Alert passed on to San Jose, where
she remained during the whole insur-
rection. Capt. Richards says that at
most the uprising was a very small
affair, the leader being supported by
Indians and people taken out of the
plantations.
Before the Alert left San Jose on
November 6, Gen. Barrios had COM
pletely suppressed the uprising and
had established himself in office for an
other six years. He had the support
of the military and the foreign ele-
ment, with whom he appeared to be in
good standin &.
