prolong the power of President Cabrera.
Were he eliminated and another man put

BariIIas for President.
I'm this regard the revolutionists are
almost unanimously for General Barillas,
now in this city, who was the first presi-
dent OF Guatemala TO serve out his term
and declined reelection retiring TO pri-
Vate life and accepting a minor office
as matter of public duty. General Ba-
rIIlas declares his only ambition is to
bring about a change of administration
in Guatemala and TO assist in carrying
out a broad and liberal programme. He
has large estates in the department of
San Marcos, where he is held in high
esteem. All revolutiOnists deplGre any ac-
ton on the part of the United States
government that would give strength to
Cabrera's administration, and they point

Another Rebellion Likely.
There is likely to soon be another rev
oiutionary movement begun in Guatemala
supplanting the present one.
Mexico continues her policy of strict OBJ
seryance of neutrality, which eXempts
Cabrera from attacks from the north.
Official circles here have received news
today that the Salvadorean army and
revolutiOnists under command of General
Toledo have the GuatemaIan army sur
rounded at Jutiapan and can compel their
surrender as the Guatemalans have lost
their artillery to the revolutionists.
