ed as a serious breach of International
courtesy that can hardly prevent
rupture. The seeds of sedition are
easily sown in Honduras and the un-
easiness in that country seems likely
to develop into open revolt against
President Bonilla, as an indirect result
of the success of the revolutionists in
Guatemala. Salvador, alone of the
Spanish-American states, at present,
appears quiet and quite likely to re-
main so.
A successful revolution in either Of
the three republics, composing the
Greater Republic of Central America
would mean the dissolution of the
feeble diplomatic bonds which now
unite them and from present indica-
tions another coalition of this nature
might be difficult to bring about.
A pan-American diplomat who is
thoroughly familiar with the Central
American situation, said:
There seems to be every probable
| ity that the revolutionists in Guate-
mala will be masters of the govern
ment in a short time and that Barrios
will be forced to leave the country if he
is not assassinated. One of the strong
est and efficient supporters of the
Guatemalan revolution is General Do
mingo Vasquez, who is now beseiging
Chiguinala, where President Barrios
is.
"Vasquez, about four years ago, was
president of Honduras and was driven
from that country. largely through the
power of Zelaya. He would like to
retain the presidency of Honduras and
should Morales become the president
of Guatemala through his aid, plots
will be Immediately formed for the
downfall of President Bonilla. Vas
quez, as president of Honduras. would
be dangerous to the peace of Nicara-
qua. His hatred of Zelaya would cas-
| lily find a pretext for arousing afresh
the latters opponents, who, with the
aid from Honduras and Guatemala,
would probably be able to defeat Ze-
laya and elevate his rival, Alexandra
Chamorro, to the presidency. These
results, believe, are almost sure to
follow a revolutionary victory in
Guatemala"

necessary steps to foreclose the mort
gage.
In this portion of the controversy, j.
P. Morgan & company, the Mercantile
Trust company, of New York, and Re-
ceivers Cowan and Murray, appear to
be on the one side and Messrs. Speyer
& company in opposition, but it is an
ticipated that when it comes to a final
settlement it will be ]. P. Morgan &
company against the field.

represent the consolidated bond
holders, but the Sterling and other
mortgages which are prior liens to the
consolidated mortgage, and unless
some compromise is reached will, it
is understood, antagonize any plan of
reorganization which may be offered
by the receivers.
1t is stated On the authority of a
banker who is largely interested in
Baltimore & Ohio bonds and other Sc
cuities, that soon after Receivers
Cowan and Murray took charge of the
property, ]. p. Morgan & company
were solicited to take an active inter-
est in the affairs of the company and
to advance the necessary funds to put
the road on sound basis and that,
after cursory examination of the
affairs of the road, Mr.. Morgan declin-
ed to invest any more money unless
four men whom he named, were retir-

These were John K. Cowan, long the
general counsel of the road, now one
of the receivers; E. r. Bacon and Will

and Thomas NJ. King, second vice-pre-
sident. OF these mentioned Mr.. Prick,

ago, and Mr.. Bacon will, it is no
longer denied, go on or about Novem-

THE FILIBUsTER cARGoEs.
Safely Landed by One Little Steamer.
In Cuba.

New York, Sept. PA dispatch to
the World from Pensacola, Fla, says:
1t is now known here that the steamer
Somers 7. Smith landed at least three
expeditions of men, arms and ammuni-
ton in Cuba during her twenty-six
day voyage from Mobile to this port.
Her expeditions were without serious
mishaps, although she was once nearly
captured by the gunboat Helena
The Helena left Pensacola in pursuit
one week after the Smith sailed from
Mobile. The gunboat sighted the fill
buster west of Tortugas and fired
shot to bring her to. The Smith put
on a full head OF steam and went south
past Cape Antoine, followed short
distance by the Helena, which was
soon distanced. The Smith returned
the same night and landed her cargo
before daylight. On another occasion
she was brought to by the winonwa
and searched. She was then returning
from a successful trip and as nothing
contraband was found on board she
was allowed to proceed. Dynamite
Johnny" o'Brien it is said, commanded
the Smith.

GUATEMALA GONE.
The Revolutionists Are Capturing the
Country.

The Revolutionists Are Capturing the
Country.
New York, Sept. 27.-A dispatch to
the Herald from La Libertad, Saliva
dor, says: The latest news received in
this city from Guatemala is that sew
eral engagements have taken place be-
tween the government and rebel forces
near Quezaltenago and that each fight
has resulted in the defeat Of the gov
eminent troops. The fighting in each
instance has been caused directly by
the governments efforts to retake
Quezaltenago from the rebels.
Gen. Socorro de Leon, who was sent
by President Barrios into the fighting
district with large force of men, has
gone over to the revolutionists taking
all his men. His first act after joining
the REBELLION was to capture the city of
Retalhulen, which he now holds.
The government has just sent six
hundred men by the steamship City Of
Guatemala to Champerico, which
port is now In rebel hands.
The true story of the capture by the
insurgents of the seaport Ocos has just
become known. 1t seems that when
the rebels approached Ocos the govern
ment authorities there made no at
tempt to defend the town, but took re-
fuge on the steamship Barracuda and
were brought to Salvador.

BIG MALT TRUST
Organized to Keep Down The Price of
Barley.

Organized to Keep Down The Price or
Barley.
New York, Sept. 27.-The Tribune
says:
The Masters trust is now said to be
permanently organized. All the de-
tails are declared to be completed and
it is said that full outlige of the or
ganization will be made public at 2
meeting to be held on Wednesday.
For the last ten days score or more
of representatives of large mailing
houses in the west have been in con-
sultation with eastern concerns and
Wall street men who have" had
charge of the financial end of the
combination. Seymour Scott, presi-
dent of the Scott Mating company, OF
Lyons, N. Y, is said to be the chief
promoter of the organization and FL
ton r. Chapman, Of the firm of Moore
& Schley, has looked after the finan-
cial end of the matter. Some trouble
was encountered when the project was
first preached from masters who did
not care to enter the combine, but 1t
| is now announced that all those who
hesitated have been induced to come
in and that the combination embraces
every prominent mailing house in the
country and will represent an annual
product of 25,000,000 bushels of malt,
upon which there is profit of over
81, 900, 900. 1t is said that the organiza-
ton intends to increase profits by
centralizing the manufacture and put
stop to the competitive buying of
barley. Instead of operating all the
small mailing houses throughout the
country, the manufacture of malt is
to be confined to Chicago, st. Louis,
Milwaukee, Philadelphia and New
York. At present competitive buying
of barley keeps it at an artificial
price, so the promoters of the organi-
cation say land they think that by
having the trust as the only purchaser
the farmer can be induced to sell bar
ley uniformly at lower price. Money
is to be saved in operating expenses al
so, and so the profits will be increased
to a considerable extent.
The name said to be selected is the
American Mailing company and the
capital stock is to be $4,000, 900, prefer
red, on which a seven per cent divi-
dend win be guaranteed and 5000, 900
worth of common. 1t is expected that
the stock will be snapped up eagerly.
The Cunard Steamship company is
mentioned as a heavy investor and ].
P. Morgan & company are said to
guarantee the bonds. In the event of
the success of this undertaking the oft
talked beeer trust may be organic

APPOINTING NEGROES Az posi-.
MASTERS.

In speaking Of Tie mistake President
Mckinley has made In appointing negro
postmnsters IN Southern communities.
the New York Press takes the ground
that "a postmaster is really "a man
appointed to serve the convenience of
community, and he ought TO be man
liked 10y that community, precisely rs a
clergyman ought To be man liked by
the church over wh.csI he presdes."
1T is grotesque idea," it says. that
the Government should intrust one Of
its postofiices at the North TO some
worthless white man, because he votes
with the Democratic party and that
party Is in power and another ut the
south to negro who rs disliked by the
patrons Of the Office. because he sup
ported the election of a Republican

shoot the negro postmaster in Georgia
nut 1t is an uncivilized system under
which postmasters arc appointed at

appointments. has laid himself omen to
criticisms which are not confined by any
means to the Democratic South. hut tha

severity In some portions or the North
