The City of Guatemala Under a- Reign
of Terror. Over Five Hundred
People Killed.
The Democrats of Massachusetts Hold
a Convention and Nominate Their
Governor.
The Pennsylvania Joint Senate Com
mittee Report Demand the Re
lease of Americans.
St. Louis, Sept. 29. A dispatch from
the City of Mexico says a revolution has
been precipitated in the republic of
Guatemala which will unquestionably
become general. A gentleman who left
the city of Guatemala, the morning of
the 16th inst., and who has just reached
this city on horseback from Acapulco,
brings the information of the outbreak
which occurred in Guatemala City on
the 15th inst. and was still in progress
when he left. According to his story the
people in that city were celebrating the
anniversary of their national holiday.
It appears that President Barrilas had
personally appointed orators for the
day. To this the masses took exception
and when the orators took the rostrum
it was the signal for a storm of stones
which set them in flight. Exciting
scenes followed and every known liberal
or Barrilas partisan as driven from the
plaza. After that the masses elected
their orators and most violent and in
cendiary speeches followed. The news
of the riot spread rapidly and soon Bar
rilas threw .& batallion of infantry into
the large square for the purpose of dis
persing the mob. . ..
TThey went in with fixed bayonets and
attempted to carry the plaza by as
sault, but were met with a shower of
stones and bullets from revolvers. This
action of the mob put them them to
flight, leaving many dead and wounded.
Barrilas then ordered artillery into the
plaza and infantry and two canon to
guard his residence. When the guns
were turned on the mob it dispersed.
The people left the plaza buf! fought in
side the street 8, in fact they practically,
during the night of " the 15th, held full
control of the city, though at intervals
they were attacked by the infantry, who
shot many of them. It is thought this
will cause a general revolt throughout
the entire republic of Guatemala and
engender war in all other Central
American states. Strict censorship is
maintained over all press dispatches
and mail has also been trifled with to
prevent the leaking out of any informa
tion concerning the actual condition of
the country.
Private dispatches to prominent mer
chant of this city from Newton, say
fullyoOO lives have been sacrificed in
four days' fighting in the city of Guate
mala, and that shooting is still going on.
The dispatch also conveys the informa
tion that Barrilas had declared himself
dictator. It is stated that Col. Jobon
has killed General Sauchez, and a
brother of General Sauchez, on learning
of his assassination, shot and killed
Jobon.' General Sanchez's brother was
executed. The city is under martial
law and a reign of terror prevails, the
inhabitants being afraid to leave their
heuses. .The residence of President
Barrilas is guarded by soldiers and the
president does not stir abroad unless
guarded by a large force of cavalry.
TUB MASSACHUSETTS PBHOCilATS.
They Hold a
Convention and Nazne a
Governor. . .
Wok'cbsteb,- Mass., Sept. 29. The
democratic state convention was called
to order this morning and a permanent
organization was effected by electing P.
A. Collins of Boston as chairman. . Wil
liam Eustis Kussel of Cambridge was re
nominated for governor. The platform
adopted renews the demand for the re
peal of the McKinley tariff law, and de
clares in favor of honest money. It de
clares that all dollars coined by the
United States should be of an equal in
trinsic value, and thatall paper currency
issued by the government should be re
deemable in either gold or silver, at the
petition of the holder, and not at the
discretion of the secretary of the treas
ury. ' It opposes the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and all "dangerous"
silver legislation enacted by . th last
congress. '..

A Report Tbat Klalr Will Succeed ltaum
as Commissioner of Pensions.
New Yohk, Sept. 28. The Sun's
Washington special says ; "The Harri
son administration is said to be on the
point of having another pension officer.
Among the big appointments soon to be
made by the president, there will proba
bly appear the name of a new commis
sioner of pensions, the third in three
years. The report is abroad today that
the president will soon accept the resig
nation of Pension Commissioner Kaum
and appoint as his successor ex-Senator
Blair. This rumor lacks direct verificaT
tion, but there is little doubt that Gen
eral Kaum is to be removed, whether or
not Mr. Blair is the man to take his
place. Soon after President Harrison's
return from Cape May he had a long
talk with Kaum, in which it was plainly
intimated that the adminfstration would
be pleased to get rid of the embarrass
ment, caused by the retention of the
commissioner in office, and that so soon
as his successor could be selected, the
general might expect to receive a request
for his resignation. President Harrison
has been inclined to look with suspicion
on General Kaum ever since the investi
gation last winter, when so many un
pleasant facta were brought tor light
about the conduct of the pension office.

Pension commissioner Kaum will re
port a surplus of 18,000,000 to the next
congress instead of asking for a defic
iency appropriation as is usually to - be
expected. This is accounted for by the
last congressional appropriation having
been basel on over-estimates of the t'ost
of the general dependent pension law.

A COAL MINE CAVES IN.

Rumors That the Irish Land League

American Plan.
A Small Party of Burlington & Mis
souri Railroad Surveyor Lost in
the Big Horn Canyon.
Shamodin, Pa., Sept. 27. For eight
hours today sixteen . men were impris
oned in an old chamber in the Hickory
Ridge coal mine, not knowing what
second they would be crushed to death.
They entered the mine at 7 o'clock this
morning and were directed to rob the
pillars. This is considered the most
dangerous of ineide work. A pillar di
vides one breast, or chamber from
another, and after all the coal is taken
from the chamber the pillar is usually
removed. A chain pillar divided the
levels. At the Kidge the. men were
working on the first level, and 100 feet
of rock and coal lay between it and the
second lift, which had been well worked
out. An hour after the first pick bad
been sunk into the coal the miners dis
covered that the bottom of the gangway
was cracking in hundreds of places.
"There 'is danger," shrieked one, "the
chain filler must be running, and if we
don't get out of here it means death."
A rush was made for the closed chamber
which all reached just as the bottom of
the place dropped and revealed a yawn
ing chasm 100 feet deep and ninety feet
wide. The.imprisoned men .were sur
rounded on all sides by falling coal.
They had a conference and found there
was no possible way of exit other than
by the way they had entered, and there
was an impassable chaam between them.
Suddenly they heard voices'.. '.'Are you
alive?"' cried Foreman Kheinhardt, who,
with two others had gained an entrance
to the gangway as soon as the rush oc
curred. The rescuing party was over
joyed on learning that the men were
safe. A rope was procured and for four
hours Kheinhardt and his men tried to
cast it across and at last the prayed-for
rope fell at their feet. "Fasten your
end of that rope to the timber," they
heard a voice cry, "and we will do the
same." Once securelv tied about the
rpost the men consulted as to who should
make tne attempt to cross, it did not
take long for Carson Delong to bid his
companions goodby and fling himself in
to space. Several times he thought he
would fall, but with strained muscles
and a stout heart Delong went. over, and
at last was safe. The others followed,
and when the last had crossed, they first
wept like children and then cheered
loud and long. When they were hoisted
to the surface 2000 persons" cheered and
danced with joy.
THE IRTSH LAM) LEAGUE.
Another Organization May lie Effected
on a Strictly American liaails.
Chicago, Sept. 27. J. P. Sutton, sec
retary of the Irish land league, has ar
rived in Chicago,, and says that fee and
Mr. ; Fitzgerald will absolutely sever
their" connection with the organization.
He thinks the result of the convention
will be a declaration of neutrality as be
tween the two factions in Ireland, and
that another organization may be ef
fected on a strictly American basis.
But what, the aim and purposes of such
an organization would be he could not
say. The main feature of the coining
gathering will be to close, up the records
and career of the land league, and the
entire correspondence between Parnell
and the other leaders of Ireland and
Fitzgerald will be submitted to show
why no convention has been held since
1886. Mr. Sutton thinks the convention
will . also take some action looking
towards the liberation of the large sum
of money held in Paris, and which nei
ther the Parnellites nor the McCarthv
ites can agree- to release so that it could
be used for the people. It is thought
that the appointment of an envoy by
the convention to proceed to Ireland
might effect that result.
A HurTeylnc Tarty Lost In the Big Horn
j ' " Canon. .
Salt Laks, Sept. 27. Information
has been received that several members
of the Burlington & Missouri river sur
veying corps, who have been running
lines through the Stinking Water coun
try,' in the Big Horn basin, between
Buffalo and ths Yellowstone Park,
separated from the the main body and
undertook the perilous enterprise of run
ning a line through Big Horn canon.
This was nearly two months ago. Noth
ing has been heard from them since, and
the other members of the party have al
most abandoned all hope of ever seeing
them again, except in winter, when thn
river freezes ove. There, is not an in
stance on reco- of .any one traveling
through the tMi ible rent in the mouu
taug and coming out alive.
