DICTATOR BURRIS.
GUATAMALA'S PRESIDENT EVIL
IDENTIFY MEANS BUSINESS
Says Congress Failed to Come to The
Oountry's Rescue And Declares
Himself Dictator.

New York, June 1.-THE Herald's
correspondent in Guatamela says that
President Barrios has confirmed the
dispatch that he had declared himself
dictator to Guatemala.
In the decree issued by President
Barrios he gives his reason for assum-,
ing the dictatorship in those words:
Some of the deputies, inspired and
Influenced by personal ambition, have
committed irregularities unprecedent-
ed in the country's history and have
attempted to break the ties of harmony
by debating unconstitutional laws,
both inexpedient and contradictory.
The majority of the deputies retired,
leaving the minority persistent, unpa-
triotic and hostile. On the first Of May
adjournment day-they failed to meet,
thus disolving the National represen-
tation.
"On account of the imprudence and
impolitic course of some of the repre-
sentatives this circumstance has plac-
ed the executive in the unavoidable
position of assuming the national pub
lie powers. Notwithstanding this, in
the fulfllment of my duty, l will not
fail to continue firm in my endeavor
to maintain order and the liberties of
individuals which our constitution and
laws prescribe, hoping by the aid of
good citizens. to continue advancing
the moral and material progress, real
izing that the future true happiness of
the republic shall continue, and oppos-
ing violent and extreme measures.
II have no other ambition than the
fulflllment in the best possible manner
of the obligations imposed on me by
my condition as a son of the people
and the high Office conferred by vote
of the majority. The executive re-
mains under the strictest obligation to
execute we'll the understood interests
of the nation. / viii fulfill the obliga-
ton until the national assembly is con-
vened again.
For the knowledge of all let this
manifestation be declared publicly"

NEW WAR INVENTION.

German Inventor Has Perfected a
Marvellous Man-Slaught-

New York, June ia dispatch to
the Journal from Berlin says:
Following the re-equipment of the
German field artillery, the celebrated
gun manufacturer Mauser. has an
nounced that he has perfected a new
and remarkable repeating small arm.
His new Invention embraces pistols
and arabines-six-shoote ten-shoot-
ers and twenty-shooters-a of which
are self loading after the first shot,
the soldier having nothing to do but
to aim and shoot.
Including the time consumed in the
consecutive loadings of the magazine,
a practiced marksman can make six
ty shots per minute with the six-shoot-
er, so with the ten-shooter and 80 with
the twenty-shooter.
Trials with both guns and pistols
have proven surprisingly successful.

factory to the patriots. The letter was

URUGUAYAN GUNB0AT LANDS

ing Crisis,

New York, June ia special to the
Herald from Buenos Ayres, Argentina,
says:
The government of Argentina has
been officially informed that the gum
boat Suarez, of the Uruguayan gov
eminent. has landed force of Urugua-
yam troops on the Argentine coast. AT
ter the troops had been landed the
Suarez sunk a vessel flying the flag
of Argentina.
Immediately upon receipt of this in
formation in Argentina a gunboat was
ordered to proceed to the point where
the troops were landed and capture thu
Suarez if there, and if not to pursue
and take the vessel at all hazards If
she was still in Argentina waters.
No report has yet been received by
the authorities of the success Of the
chase, though If the vessels meet in
Argentina waters there will undoubt-
eddy be an encounter which will prob
ably lead to extremely serious compli-
cations between the two countries.
Argentina has issued energeti. or
ders to her navy and army and there
is great activity in those departments.
Every preparation is being made for
war.
The Harald's correspondent in Mon
tevideo, Uruguay says that the rebels
are concentrating their forces and q
decisive battle with the government
troops is imminent.
Commenting upon these dispatches
the Herald says:
THE only recent dispute between
Uruguay and Argentina arose during
the last part of 1896. 1t was the result
of filibustering expeditions from Ar
gentina bearing arms, ammunition and
stores to the Uruguayan rebels.
"Since the revolution in Uruguay
began there has been much sympathy
in Argentina for the rebels and this
sympathy found a substantial form in
the shape of arms and ammunition for
them. The feeling gradually grew I'M
til in December 1895, there was open
demonstrations in Argentina and
threats were made against the govern
ment of Uruguay. What are known
as the White and Red parties took
prominent parts in fostering the feel
ing against Uruguay and finally the
waiter became so serious that Uruguay
made protest to Argentina. In spite
of this, however, the filibustering con-
tinued and the result has been strain
ed relations between the two coun-
tries.

MADE THIRTY-TW0 AND A HALF
MILES PER HOUR ON ITS
INITIAL TRIAL TRIP.
Is The Property Of E. Burgess War
FEN And Was Designed By
ChaS. D. MOSer, the Yacht
Architect Of The City
Of New York.

New York, June 1.-THE World this
morning says:
Passengers looking out of the win
dows of a southbound train on the
Hudson river or in the vicinity of
Dobb's Ferry, saw the steam yacht
Ellide, belonging to E. Burgess War
rem, of Philadelphia, racing down the
river against time, and incidentally
she was making almost as good time
as the train. Timed by two watches
which agreed to half a second, the
yacht covered a measured mile in one
minute, 421k seconds, which is at the
rate of So miles an hour, and on the
run preceding it she covered the same
distance in one minute, 81 seconds, or
at the rate of 32h miles an hour, max
ing the mean of the two runs S3la
miles an hour.
She is an open yacht, so feet long,
driven by a single three-blade wheel,
propelled by quadruple expansion en-
gines of 800 horsepower.
The engines, boiler screw and the
hull, which is of mahogany were all
designed by Charles d. Mosher, of this
city, who also designed the fast yachts
Yankee Doodle, NADIA, Feiseen and
Norwood. He superintendent the run
ming of the engines in the run, which
was a preliminary one. Upon her OFF,
cial trial, which is to take place in
about ten days, it is estimated that
the boat will travel between 3S and
40 miles an hour, for she carried much
less steam than she can produce.
To any yacht on a speed trial con-
ditions were not favorable. The wind
blew dead ahead at least 25 miles an
hour when Ellide made her first run
up the river. The seas were from three
to four feet high and there was an
ebb tide of quite two knots against
her. Still she made this run, shipping
nothing but spray and leaving a wake
no higher than a motor launch, in the
time stated-1:51. The return run, in
1 minute 42k seconds was made with
a heavy following sea and with the
wheel racing at times.

The Cuban Revolution.

Two years of desperate conflicts
ruinous for Spain, which is to-day on
the verge of bankruptcy-have not
weakened the efforts of the insurgent
patriots. In the United States, better
than anywhere else, one could follow
day by day the varying fortune of this
titantic duel; the landing of the two
Maceo brothers, survivors of a family
of heroes, both of whom were to find, a
few months apart, the most glorious of
deaths; the advent in the campaign of
Maxine Gomez, the veteran of the ten
years instruction; the death of Marti,
fallen in ambuscade before seeing the
triumph of his labor; the revolt deep
ening, spreading from the eastern to the
western department, toward Pinar del
Rio, and threatening Havana; the recall
of Martinez Campos, powerless to con-
quer: his replacement by General Wey-
Ter, a wild beast with human counte-
nance; and finally, the dissolution,
greater each day, of the prestige and
credit of monarchical Spain. This is
the state of things at present. The en-

hLLEGED CONNIVANCE.
Orders That Were Said to be Sent to
the Telegraph Stations.

LONDON, April 1.-THE correspon-
dent of the Daily News" at Larissa will
say tomorrow:
AS an alleged indication of the con-
nivance of the Greek Government at the
raid last Friday it is pointed out that
orders were sent to all the telegraph
stations of the country when the band
started, to refuse to accept messages in
cipher, while open kilograms announc-
ing the fact of the raid were not to be
accepted.
This recalls the sudden arrangement
of Greek telegraph communication of
the day when Colonel VassaS started
for Crete, preventing the diplomats
from advising their Governments of the
expedition. It is rumored that the resig-
nation of NJ. Delyannis and the Cabinet
is possible and that the Powers have
again offered the Governorship of
Crete to Prince Waldemar of Denmark,
but that the Due De Charities has adj
vised his son-in-loW to decline a candi-
dature which is opposed by Italy and
Austria
