MORE GUATEMALAN INTRIGUE
THE LOCAL CONSUL KNOWS OF
 NO TROUBLE.

With the arrival of the Pacific Mail steamer from Central American ports yesterday came rumors of impending re- bellion in the republic of Guatemala, which has for years been the hotbed of political intrigue.
 The election for President of the repub lie takes place on August 6, and the cam paign is being fought desperately by the incumbent, President Cabrera, and by General Castellio. General Fuentes, who left here but short time since, is also said to be a candidate. Cabrera is thought to have the best chances in the election.
 He is not the most popular man with the masses as he is regarded as a second Barrios, under whom he served as Vice President, and whose policy Of admins tration he has followed. His chances are enhanced, as he has been promised, 1t is affirmed, the support of General Fuentes, which will be sufficient to turn the elec- ton in his favor.
 Fuentes, according. to his friends is bitter against Consul Carrillo, who rep resents Guatemala in this city. He is credited with the use of the following sizzling language:
 'Tel that man Carrillo to beware, for I am after him. Until 1 returned here did not appreciate the full extent of the injury he had expected to do me among a soldier can. predict that he will soon be removed from his position in San Francisco and with his removal I pur- pose to destroy the influence of his buSt- ness associates, who have so long Wielded such a power here and dlsgraced us abroad"
 Fuentes declares that he is in position to demand much consideration from Ca brerra. He intimates that his support in the impending election will only be given upon certain conditions. One of these will be- he says, the removal from office of Carrillo. The latter does not fear the power of Fuentes.
 There is no outbreak no revolution in Guatemala" said Consul Miguel Carr e last night. 'Everything is quiet down and originate right here in this city. They are made by scoundrels who have been trying to make trouble for me for long time. They are men who seek my posi- tion and are doing everything to have me removed.
 II have no news regarding Fuentes. see no mention made of him as a candi- date for the presidency. The only names mentioned are those of Cabrera, who has held the office since the death of Barrios. and General Castillo. Up to the time the steamer left there had been no disturb anCes. no signs of a political uprising or rebellion. It Is all nonsense; stupid! About every fortnight an attack of this character is launched at me, but it never amounts to anything. 1 often met Fuen- tes when he was here, but he never at tackled me then. He dare not; nor would I permit any man to do so. Now he is far away, perhaps he says these things.
 Why did he not say them in my pres ence?
 They surely originate with scoundrels in this city and 1 do not fear them nor care what they say. I would be informed rebellion, so l say there is no truth in the story
