BLOW TO BARRIOS.
Morales Will Be the New Ruler of
Guatemala.

PANAMA, Sept. 18.-According to
advices received by way of San Sal
vador, the city of Quezaltenango, in
Guatemala, has been captured by the
rebels For twenty-four hours the
garrison joined the insurgents, thereby
adding materially to the strength of
Prospero Morales movement against
President Barrios. The rebels are now
moving on Chemperieo, and there will
probably be hard fighting there. as the
place is garrisoned by strong forces.
The government also holds the towns
of Betalhulu and San Felipe, despite
rebel attacks there. The loss of Quez-
altenango is a great blow to the gov
eminent and gives Morales undisputed
control in that portion of Guatemala;
1t marks too, it is believed, the end OF
President Barrios' supremacy. There
is little doubt now that new govern
ment will be established with Morales
at it's head.

Italy and Chinatown-what a contrast Yet
''The First Born the serious Chinese play
San Francisco, is in a way the "Cavalleria
Rusticana" of the Chinese quarter; but it is
a story of revenge inspired not by love for
woman but by love for a son. Love for a
son, and especially for first born son. is one
of the strongest, perhaps the strongest, emo.
tional traits in the Chinese character, and
Mr.; Powers has done wisely in making it the
motive of his play, the main outlines of
which are simply and broadly drawn as
those of Verga's little tragedy.
Here is the story: Man Lo Yek of San

Chan Toy. The latter is stolen by the wife.

which he has been hidden. Knife in hand,
Chan Wang rushes into the house, but in
the ensuing struggle the child is in some
way killed. These incidents form the first
act. In the second the father avenges the
death of the son by Staying his wifes abb

people of VIM. Penn. The three officers
went down and placed Matt Bubuis, Charles

other men are wanted and will probably be
arrested tonight. Adam Gazuzas was also
arrested on complaint of one of the pris-
oners, who charged him with assault and
battery.
The gang started out on the war path
Saturday night and kept up their dirty worl,
all day Sunday and yesterday. Some of
them got hold Of an Arabian peddler and
carried him to the P. & r. railway, where
they held him down with his back across the
rail as a coal train approached. 1t was their
declared intention to have the train cut the
