Get His rsarnoueO.

LoursvILLE, KY, March 1A,--It seems that
Mrs. w. Godfrey Hunter, wife Of the United
States Minister to Guatemala, has saved the
life Of President BArrios's Secretary old OF War.
After the assassination OF President Barrios on
Feb. 8 the Secretary of War was accused Of In
citing an instruction in Guatemala city, in
which eight men were killed. He was thrown
into prison and Mrs. Barrios, wife of the dead
President, was determined, along with the new
Administration that no should die as an en-
ample for other conspirators. DIR. Hunter and
the Ministers Of other countries were urged to
save tho old man, but could not do much.
Finally Mrs. Hunter saw Mrs. Barrios, and
Mrs. Barrios consented to the pardon Of the old
Secretary. Tho following letter from Mrs.
Hunter to her son describing the scene that
preceded the assassination Of Rarrios was ro-
ceiyed yesterday:
Sensations have come thick and fast since
