REVOLUTION SUPPRESSED.
Official Denial that Guatemala Con-
templates Reputation.

San Francisco, Cal, July 14.-Presi-
dent Cabrera of Guatemala, according to
a private cablegram received here to-
day, has just put down the first attempt
at revolution made under his adminstra-
ton. The uprising occurred in Quezalt-
enango. The government however, was
advised in time to suppress the move
ment, and as a result Feliciano Aguilar
and sixty men were arrested and are
now in Jail.
The dispatch did not come from Que
ZaltenangO, but from Il northern section
of Guatemala, and was carried across
the border into Mexico to avoid the cen
Sor.
Felipe Galicia, consul general of Guate-
mala i'll this city, is very indignant at
the reports of revolution and bankruptcy
in Guatemala. He declares that there
is no truth in any of the statements, that
they have been circulated by enemies of
the government anxious to secure it's
overthrow. The report that foreigners
have been prosecuted in Guatemala he
declares is unequiyocally false

number of friends in the Hoffman a sto-
ry about colored vagrant who lives in

GERMAN FLAG TORN DOWN.
Honolulu Man Fined in Police Court
for Malicious Mischief

Honolulu, July VIA Victoria, B. c.,
July 14.l-There was flag incident here
on the Fourth of July which promises to
be made an international episode. Carl
Klemme, the proprietor of the Orpheum
hotel, gaily decorated his building in
American colors, hoisted the American
flag over it, and under the American flag
the German flag. Later a friend of his
wanted to use an American flag and
Klemme good-naturedy loaned him his,
leaving the German flag floating alone
from the flagstaff. ]. H. West saw it
and ordered Klemme to haul it down.
West thereupon gathered a lot of SOL
diers from the transport Sheridan aud
showed them the German flag floating
on the Fourth of July in American ter
ritory The soldiers at once proceeded
to the roof, tore down the German flag
and destroyed it and put into its place
some red, white and blue bunting torn
from the other decorations of the build
ings West wGs today fined 500 in the
police court for malicious mischief. The
German consul-general will make a re-
port of the matter to his government.

ANARCHY AND
ASSASSINATION
Dep!orable Results Of Withdraw
al Of Troops from
Manila.

Cincinnati, O., July 4.--BishopJ. NJ Tho
burn of the Methodist Episcopal church,
who has spent forty years as a missionary,
mostly in India, is here with his family,
some of whom are in ill-health The bish-
OPP spent some time in Manila in March
last and was an intelligent observer of
events. He says there is no doubt that
the outbreak between the Americans and
Filipinos was intended by Filipino lead
ers to include Il general massacre in the
city of Manila.
Anarchy and assassination, he declares,
would follow the withdrawal of the Unit
ed States forces. The only trouble lies
in the Luzon island. All the other ISL
ands are peaceful. The bishop thinks the
proper policy of the United States is to
enlist the men of the other islands who
are the natural enemies of the inhabi
tants of Luzon to fight Aguinaldo's army.
Differed by Americans they would quick
ly disperse the few men that Aguinaldo
can muster.

A ADMIRAL DEWEY
OFF FOR TRIESTE.
Desires Clear Bill of Health Be-
fore He Sails for

Washington, d. c., July 14.-Secre-

Cured in the health of Admiral Dewey
and his men since their departure from

~ Is SAID at the navy department that
the admlraPs reference to pratique'
means simply that he is going to Trieste
to get a clean bill Of health that will
enable him to continue his voyage through
me Mediterranean without delays from
the health authorities at the various
points.
Port Said, July 14.-Admiral Dewey,
who is looking very well and hearty, has
oeen reluctantly obliged to decline the
invitation of Minister Straus at Con-
stantlnOple to stay with him on the Bos-
porus, as he is anxious to get to New
I DIRK as soon as possible. The quaran-
tine flag at the foremost of the Olympia
warns everybody against communication
with the flagship, because if anything
but mails and coal should come aboard
here the vessel would be quarantined
from twelve to twentyone days at any
European port it may touch.
Capt. Lamberton and Flag Lieutenant
Brumby give the news of the voyage.
Leaving Manila in a state of good health,
the officers and men were soon attacked

many enlisted men were on the SICK list
at Colombo. Not a ward-room officer es-
capped, but all recovered, though the
ships company was greatly debilitated.
Admiral Dewey has decided to go to
Trieste to recuperate. He himself is IN
good condition, but he feels the need for
all hands of a stay in a cooler climate
before returning home. The Olympia
will begin coaling at daylight tomorrow,
and the admiral hopes to sail before

THREE-CENT FARE.
Municipal Ownership of Detroit
Street Railway Inau-
gurated.

Detroit, Mich, July 14.-"Three cent
fares" are announced today on the fronts
OF Detroit street cars in the places where
amusement advertising signs are usually
carried. This sudden voluntary reduc.
ton is the result of a decision of Gov.
Pingree and Tom l.. johnson to give
the people an object lesson upon what
they may look forward to, ii present
plans for the sale OF all the Detroit
street railways to the Detroit Municipal
hallway company" in behalf of the
city win out. The three cent tickets
sold today at five for ID cents are so
worded that their use in full payment
or rare can be withdrawn at any time.
Inc city is IN furOre over the present
SITUATION. All newspapers and nearly all
the more prominent citizens are opposing
the Plngree plan, and it is now claimed
that the majority Of citizens oppose it,
on the ground that Scent fares and
quasl-munlclpal ownership will fail to pay
the expenses and the $17, 100000 pro-
posed to be paid for the roads, and that
they VIII, IT purchased, revert to the
present owners. In the latter event the
roads would be operated under the securi-
ty ordinance already passed by the coun-
Gil, which permits operation Of all the
roads at six for a quarter fares for from
thirty to forty-eight years.
The Plngree people claim that the
roads will certainly pay off their pur-
chase price under Scent fares. Gov.
Pingree is having circulars distributed On
the streets giving his side of the contro-
yerSy.
A special meeting of the city council is
called for this afternoon, at which u
working ordinance" is expected to be
passed, granting the municipal company
rights as to the operation of the roads.
This ordinance reserves to the city the
right at any time to fix the rate of fare,
said rate meanwhile to be cents with
universal transfers
Mayor Maybu will veto both ordi-
nances, and the question is whether the
Plngree people can secure passage of
both over the vetoes.

WOMEN RAID A SALOON.
DiVekeepers will Turn an Alligator
Loose When They Come
Again.

Kingston, Mo, July Livingston is
just now the seat of lively war between
the forces of the w. G. 7. L. and of a
drug store" known as the White Ele-
plant" The w. C.. L. L. is backed by
Col. G. J. Holt, temperance. lecturer of
Chicago. On the opposing side are the
patrons of the ostenSibe drug store,
which is really a saloon and poker den.
There have been two pitched battles
during this war. The women have raid
cd both the gambling room and the drug
room Two of them were forcibly thrown
out Of the drugroom by employees of the
proprietor, but the women surprised the
gamblers and drove some of the fright
ened men out of Il second-story window
to Il roof, from which they jumped
twelve feet TO the ground.
The marshal and the mayor seem to
sympathize with the jointkeepers, SO the
women say that if the police Of the city
will not help them they will clean out the
White Elephant themselves, and every
body in Kingston says they are ''game"
enough to DO it.
The diyekeepers have in their bar-rOOm
an alligator abOut 4 yard long which
they say will be turned loose among the
temperance women the next time they
raid the place.
