The revolution broke out on Sept. g.,
and was participated in by several de-
partments, VIZ. San Marcos, Quezalte-
nago. Huehuetango. Tatonlcopan, Ma
zal:nnango, Ouchie and Salola. The
revolt was opened with an attack upon
the outpOsts of Quezaltenango and
other districts, which proved success
full. The rcvolutionists, however with
drew to gather reinforcements from
the surrounding country, and three
days after the first shot was fired the
government sent $500 men into the
field. One battery deserted to the
enemy.
On Sept. 0 ]. L. Castillo, aide to

immense force of malcontants from

BALTIMoREANs COMMENTED.

Announcement OF Boston's Victory
Received With Cheers at Pimlico.
Baltimore, Oct. 1.-The ghost of a
chance" that Baltimore had to win the
pennant for next season vanished early
in yesterdays game, when the sena-
tors fell upon DR.. Ponds curves, batted
him out Of the box. and took good
long lead In the fourth inning, after
which the orioles seemed to lose heart
and played llstlessly and without am
bition In the meantime the score board
was showing how easily the Bostons
were taking their game away from
Brooklyn, and the last vestlge of hope
slowly died out In the breasts of the
handful of faithful rrooters who still
cung to the belief that Brooklyn might
take one from the leaders and give the
birds chance to catch up by winning
oil four from the senator's
1t is not saying too much to assert
that the result Is not altogether unwel-
come In Baltimore, for the reason that
1t Is generally admitted that Boston
was proved to have the better club in
the recent remarkable series played in
Baltimore, and all lovers of the game.
no matter what their prejudlces, are
content to see the trophy of the cham
plonship fall to the lot Of the best team.
The outcome of both games was watch
ed. however. with great interest. and
wherever crowds gathered bulletins
were read to thcm. In almost every
instance the news that Boston had
cltnched 1t, and that the championship
was no longer in doubt, was received
with satisfaction. and in some cases
with cheers. This was notably the case
at Plmlico. where the result by innings
was read during the trotting races In
progress there. On Sunday morning
the orioles will depart for Boston, with
the hope that they may at least save
the Temple cup. and gather in the lions
share Of the gate receipts. Score by in
nings:
Washington .......2 0 l 2 0 0 o. 8
Baltimore .........1 0 0 0 2 0 0 o. 3

Trenton, Oct. 1.-The latest figures
bf the election held Tuesday would
seem to indicate some doubt as to the
rejection of the anti-gambling amend
ment. The official count will not occur
until Monday, and the returns are
coming in slowly. especially from the
country districts. From the returns
et hand, and from the best estimates.
the majority against the anti. gamb-
ling amendment has been cut down to
1000, and may go below that figure.
There is even q possibility that the
amendment has been carried. Tho ad-
Interim appointment amendment is
thought to have been carried by u
close vote. There Is no likelihood Of
the women's suffrage amendment hav-
Ing been carried.
