rates, he contends, are higher than
those of any other city in the United

GENERAL PLAZA CHOSEN. PRESIDENT After Much BlOOdshed Ecua- dor Elects Successor
 to MOnterO

Guayaquil, Ecador, March St.-Gen. Leonidas Plaza has been elected presi- dent of Ecuador.
 General Plaza was commander Of the government troops which opposed the recent revolutionary movement. He was president from 1900 to 1904, minister to the United States in 1905, and served also as minister to other countries.
 After the death of President Erailo Estrada last December, General Pedro Montero was proclaimed president by the troops stationed in Guayaquil. A month later Montero was shot by the angry pop ulace, dragged into the streets, beheaded and his body burned. An infuriated mob broke into the Quito penitentiary on Jan uary 2S and lynched five of the most prominent revoltuionists, Generals Eloy Alfaro, Flevio Alfaro. Medarado Alfaro Ulpiano Paez and Manuel Serrano.
 About three weeks ago Gen. Julio An drade, military commander of GuayaoIil was killed in an attempt to gain control in the republic. Gen. Leonidas Plaza was then proffered the provisional presidency, but refused it. Dr. Francisco Marin temporarily assumed the office. General Plaza continued, however, to be the pop ular candidate for the presidency, and his election followed.
