SAX FRANCISCO. Cal.. July 2.
That an American citizen is now either
I. nguishing in jail in (iuatemi'ln or has
been executed iu tho Central American
republic fur complicity iu t lie re vol u
tinu there, is the story brought to this
city by ollicers of the Pacific Mail line,
who arriveil iu this city today.
A mail named Harrington, sail I to
te from N'evv York, is the person whom
tlu steamship people think has been
killed. Harrington landed from the
steamship City of Sydney at San .lose
and was immediately placed under ar
rest. lie is said to have had incriminnt ing
papers in his possession and it is
thought thai lie was ordered shot.
Despite (hat, the recent arrivals re
port that there is no letup in tho out
regos perpetrated by President Onhre
ra. Colonel La Deelairmont, a Cali
fornia who is on the South American ex
ecutive's personal staff, declared today
that some time the people of the Tint
ed States will discover that his chief
is n pleasant, humane. plain gentleman.
Referring to the attempt, to assassinate
Cabrera, Pclnirmont said the president
appeared to bear a charmed life, his
hat and frock cont being riddled with
bullets. The colonel denies the stories
of wholesale executions following this
attempt nnd said that only three col
onels nnd six ringleaders of the mob
were executed. lie believes the presi
dent would have been justified in con
demning to death at least 100 men who
wre implicated hi the conspiracy.

'Construction of new rolling stock, safe

Pacific railroad is nt a standstill today
as a result of the closing of the general
shops at Sacramento and I.os Angeles
j Tuesday, when Simmi skilled mechanics
were laid off.
- When the first order for retrenchment
: was issued last October the force at
the Sacramento shops was reduced from

the shops cut down proportionately.

I ilar action was taken, but nt San Fran

: retained to attend to the work ou hand,
i Wild minors are plenty as to the mean
ing of the reduction, but no satisfac

The action of the railroad iu closing
I was not due to retrenchment, says Su

that the work at Sacramento has been

I enough to do to keep a full erev busy,
I Mecnusu it does not pay to keep the

it will last n longer time. The men are
