On the Verge of Revolution.

San Francisco, June 10.-Alonzo Barrios,
leader of the liberal party of Guatemala,
whose followers are striving to place him
in the presidential chair now occupied by
Manuel Estrada Cabrera was a passen-
ger on the Pacific Mail steamer San Jose
from Panama. He is a son of the late
Gen. Rufiano BarrioS, founder of the lib
eral party of Guatemala, whose term as
president of the republic covered period
of IA years. The visit of Antonio Barrios
to the United States at this season of the
year was not contemplated by him and,
according to reports, 1t was not until
President Cabrera, in unmistakable terms
advised the scion of the famous Barrios
family to seek other parts, that the latter
concluded to embark for San Francisco.
When seen, Senior Barrios. while admit
ting that his presence in San Francisco
was due to political differences between
his sympathizers and the party in power.
would not acknowledge that he was forced
to flee from his own country. Other pas
sepgers, however who arrived from Guat-
emaiar say that not only was he COM
PEELED to take his departure, but President
Cabrera allowed him only two days in
which to do SO. They say also that Guat-
emala is on the verge of a revolution,
which will probably result in the downfall
of the Cabrera government to the gain
of the liberals, who are almost unanimous
in their choice of Alonzo Barrios.
My absence from Guatemala at this
TINS said Senior Barrios, sis due to polit-
zeal reasons, due to differences of opinion
between my friends and those of the adj
minstration in power with regard to gov
ornmental affairs" Senior Barrios does
not think that he will return to his coun
try while the present government remains
in power.

Crisis in the TransvaaI.

London, June lott is not improbable
the crisis in the Transvall will be fastened
by some untoward incident at Johannes,
burg. J. B. Robinson the South African
millionaire and mine owner, received a
telegram to-day from his agent at johann
nesburg saying the situation there is most
serious The agent added that a mass
meeting of Uitlanders will be held to-day
in order to confirm and support the pro-
posals of the British high commissioners
Sir Alfred Miner. AS open air meetings
are not allowed without permission, it Is
not improbable if the necessary perms-
sion is not obtained, that the police will
endeaver to stop the meeting. The con-
sensus of opinion among prominent Uit-
landers and South African capitalists in
London is that the British government Is
In tight fix, that it cannot retreat from
its position and that If President Kruger
does not recede war is inevitable.
Regarding the suggestion that the
United States be asked to mediate between
the Transvaal and Great Britain, United
States Ambassador onoate says:
while every good American would well
come the possibility of helping solution
Of the present situation, We have not been
approached and L personally know moth
Ing of this proposed mediation by Amer

A detachment of 200 royal engineers

Pretoria. Transvaal, June 10.-After de-
liberation in secret all the morning the
volksraad yesterday approved President
kruger's franchise propositions and in
structed the government to draw them up
in the form of a law, which will be sub
mtted to the volksraad. The yolksraad
also passed a resolution of regret that the
British high commissioner had not ac-
cepted Kruger's proposals which the
volksraad considers reasonable in the
highest degree.

SMALL POWERS UNEASY

BY MEDIATION SCHEMES
A Difference OF Opinion Relative to
Orders to Be Given Troops at
the Opening Of
Campaign.

The Hague, June 10.-The Brussels
conference section met to-day, Profes.
sor De Martens of the Russian dele
cation presiding.
NJ Bihound, one of the French del
egates, submitted article 2 of the con.
ference, re-drafted, which was unani-
mously adopted. Article 3 was adopt
ed, also, after discussion, but article
4 was rejected.
NJ. Bolyn, one of Slams delegates,
offered an amended version of article
3, which was adopted, subject to slight
future notifications.
Major General Sir John Ardath of
the British delegation. declared that
Great Britain could not bind 1arself
to sign convention drawn from the
Brussels conference of 1874, but must
reserve the right of judging of the
necessity or the expediency of abid-
ing by the stipulations of that con-
ference or this conference in general
orders to her armies in the event of
war or in the event of opening cam
paign.
Professor De Martens replied that
Russia did not ask the powers to sign
a convention on the Brussels confer
ence, but desired the powers to under
Sdhe TO empOQy the StlpulatlOnS now
agreed upon in the instructions given to
troops at the opening of campaign.
Major General Ardath Taid his dec
laration was only of a personal char
acter and he would consult his gov
eminent on so important a matter.
A meeting of the principal delegates
was held to-day to request Count
Munster to decide the question of
communications with the press, but
owing to the failure of the delegates
to agree the meeting adjourned to
Monday.
A feeling of disquietude is observable
among the delegates Of the smaller
powers at the decisions of the con-
ference relating to the tender of good
offices on the lesser powers in a way
to restrict their independence, and sew
eral amendments to this effect will
be proposed when the scheme Is fin
ally discussed.

A STUPENDOUS SCHEME
Plans for a Billion Dollar Brew
cry Trust.
FIRST STEPS ARE TAKEN
Breweries in the Various States Are Be-
ing Consolidated-It Will Take
Three Years to Perfect
the Plans

Indianapolis, Ind, June 10.-The Sen
tinel Tomorrow will say: THE trust
mania has reached the brewers, and
it is said on the best authority that
a scheme is on foot to form a trust
with s1.000,000000 capital and buy up
all the breweries in the country. 1t
is said that the scheme received i'm
petus at the national convention of
brewers at Detroit, when plans were
discussed secretly
cry syndicate of this city, which in
cludes the three largest breweries
here, tonight confirmed the story of
the formation of a giant brewery
trust. Mr. Lieber had just returned
from Detroit, and after learning that
the story was out, said: d
"A Pittsburg broker named Merkle,
representing the American Mating
company, has just completed a deal in
volving $92,000,000, whereby all the
Pennsylvania breweries were CONSOLE
dated. This was one of the first steps
in the big scheme. Options are now
out on number of Indiana breweries
and the same is true Of other states.
The principal factor in the big scheme
is Seymour Scott, wealthy broker of
New York city, who has been working
on 1T for some time.
THE scheme is a stupendous one and
it will require at least three years to
perfect it. The American Mating COM
pany already has a monopoly on all
the malt produced in this country"

Washington, June 10-To obtain the
necessary force of clerks for the CEN

plan of alloting a pro rata number of

dorsed by the congressman from their
districts, after competent and practical
examination. The applicants who pass
the examinations will be drawn on for
appointment from time to time. This
policy is being proceeded with and its
idea explained in communications tc
the various members of the congress
sional delegations in response to their
presentation of names for the places.
All appointments of persons from

UNDER A ToRRID SUN.
Forty Per Cent. of the American Troops
Frustrated.

Frustrated.
Manila, June 10, 4:30 p. NAT day.
break to-day a force of 4,500 men under
Generals Lawton, Wheaton and Oven
shine advanced from San Pedro Macati,
sweeping the country between the Bay
of Manila and Bay lake, south of Ma
Mia BY noon the country had been
cleared almost ITO Paranaque. The
Americans lost two officers killed and
ed desperately at the stronger of their
positions and left SO dead in the
trenches. Many more wounded were
left behind by the rebels in their re-
treat. The heat during the day was
overpowering and there were many
prostrations of American soldiers from
that cause.
General Lawton's force consisted of
two battalions each of the 21st and 10th
infantry, six companies of the Colorado
volunteers and a detachment of artil-
lery. The Nevada cavalry was under
General Wheaton, and the 18th and 14th
infantry, the 4th cavalry and detach-
ment of light artillery were under
Ovenshine.
1t was scarcely dawn when the troops,
in long, silent procession, wound up
the hillside behind the American
trenches and formed a skirmish line.
Concealed in the jungle, the advance
rebel outposts fired a few shots before
being seen. The artillery, the Colorado
infantry and Nevada cavalry swung
around the hilltop on the left and open
ed the battle at $50 The rebels made
no response from the hills and the Colo
RADIO men cautiously advanced through
the thick grass until they were con-
fronted by trench from which weak
volleys were fired. A spirited response
followed and charge into the trenches
found them deserted. In the meantime
a part of the 18th and 14th regiments
formed in a Skirmish line extending
mile to the right and, supported by
the rest of the regiments, swept down
the valley and up the hillside toward
another trench.
Approaching through the morass seri-
ously hampered the 14th, and the rebels,
taking advantage of this, poured a gall
ing fire upon them for 30 minutes. The
14th was twice compelled to withdraw
for the purpose of finding a safe cross
ing in the swamp. Finally the trench
was enfiladed on both TANKS The
rebels fled to the woods, sustaining Sc
we're losses.
General Lawton then pushed his en-
tire command south through the CEN
ter of the isthmus until a few miles
south of Paranaque, then swung around
and halted on account of the heat.
During the march the men were pros
trated on all sides owing to the lack
of water and exposure to the SUM- It is
estimated that 40 per cent. of the troops,
were exhausted.
The double-turreted monitor Monad-
mock and three other vessels shelled
Paranaque this morning and the rebels
promptly evacuated the place.

LIPPINCOTT'S REPORT.
Equal to Every Emergency, Although
Much Oyerworked

Much Overworked.
washington, June 10.--Among the re-
ports submitted by General Otis con-
corning the operations of the army in
Manila, is one from Colonel Lippincott,
chief surgeon of the army, for the
month of March. Colonel Lippincott
says:
1.-THE long list of engagements be-
tween our troops and the Filipinos con-
tinuing through the month resulted in
the following casualties to our conf
mand:
"Killed: Officers 6, enlisted men IL
Died from wounds: Officers 2 en-
listed men IA
Wounded: Officers IS, enlisted men
ASS.
Total casualties for the month 500.
Total casualties since outbreak 1909
Our force has been much over
worked, but nevertheless has met
every emergency.
Major Crosby has put up excellent
tent wards and the purveyor, Major
Corbusier, has furnished abundant SUD
plies of all kinds at short notice. Con
sidering the work done and disad-
vantages being so far from our base,
I can safely say that the success in
meeting all requirements thus far has
been marvellous. The Filipino wounded
they have in the past, no efforts being
spared to make them comfortable ana
give them every chance of recovery
Number of Filipinos admitted to the
hospital during the month, IS; number
died, 8; number transferred, %: re-
naming in the hospital under treat
ment 1870"
