steeples and the loftiest buildings.

forward for the return of General Ezeta.

of men. "There will be trouble in Sal
vador next month," said a gentleman on
Highest of all in Leavening Power.

the steamer, "and I should not be sur
prised to see a revolution over the elec
tions. Ezeta has many followers in the
neighboring republic of Guatemala, and
it is very likely that Ezeta will enter
Salvador by way of Guatemala when be
makes his attempt to regain his lost
power." Barrios will not interfere with
him, for he has trouble enough at home.

sent out from Guatemala, the Mexican
troops are at her frontier, and the Mexi

having been added since last year. The
four months' statement shows a decline
of 17 per cent in revenue from customs
and a considerable falling-off . in excise
duties. While there has been a heavy
drop in revenue, expenditures show an
increase. The national debt has now
reached $62 per capita of the population.

be a falling-off in customs revenue for
the whole year of 25 per cent, and there
will be a deficit of $5,000,000 when the
yearly balance is struck. The minister

000, and has still the authority of par
liament to borrow $17,000,000 more with

atrocities. - It was the first stain upon
Japanese civilization. The Japanese, in
