Cheap Money in Guatemala
Causes Revolution.
FINANCIAL AND TRADE TROUBLES
Cneasiness Felt In Washington Over the
Reports Of a Threatened Revolution
Large Quantities Of Paper Money Issued
without Much Gold in the Treasury
and Fine Imposed on President Cabrera.

The reports that a revolution is immi-
hent IN Guatemala cause a good deal of
uneasiness in Central American circles
here, as II has been known for some time
that affairs there were in a critical con-
dition.
Well-posted diplomat says that the
trouble was not so much of a political
character, as IL was commercial and tinan-
ciaL The government has recently been
issuing large quantities of paper money,
without having any considerable quantity
of coin on hand 10 redeem it. As re
suit exchange has jumped 10 a rate hith-
erto unknown. and the Guatemalan dollar
passes current al about 20 cents.
To this financial disorder is attributed
the arrest Of a number Of leading finan-
ciers connected with the banks of the
country. Some OF those said 10 be under
arrest are well known among the Central
American officials here, who say they are
men OF high character. Thus far, howeV-
eT. the Guatemalan authorities appear 10
have kept down the formation of any
large element against the present admin
istratiOn. and President Cabrera has had
support from all the political wings.

Coffee aud Finance,

San Francisco, July l0-Several leading
citizens Of Guatemala. just arrived on the
steamer San Juan. confirm the reports
that a revolution is threatened In that
country. A prominent planter now here
said: THE inflated currency. combined
with the surplus production OF coffee. ex-
plains the conditions. OF late years every
biz Of arabic land has been used FOR -he
growth Of coffee, with result that there
is over-production."
The Call says that President Cabrera is
charged with having ordered the coinage
% a silver standard piece, 800 fine, In place
Of SIS fine. This brought a storm about
his ears and he laid the blame upon the
Superintendent Of the Mint, who now lies
in Jail.
In order 10 adjust matters Cabrera
made a demand upon the banks for
subsidies OF silver. This was refused with
the result OF the expulsion o. President
Roccnda DrYols, Of the BaHl; 90 England,
and the forced flight of Alexander A.
