New Yobk, Sep. 16. A special to the
Herald from Panama. Columbia, says:
Guatemala now faces an uprising for
more serious than the one of a few
months ago, telegraphs the Herald cor
respondent in the city of Guatemala.
The present rebellion is led by men of
great wealth and influence, and is slight
ly gaining in strength each day.
Advices just received from Guatemala
are to the effect that 3000 rebels at
tacked the city of Qaezaltenango on the
morning ot September 13. The garrison
there consisted of less than 1000 soldiers,
but they fought valiantly. The attack
continued far into the night, when the
rebels, despite their superior numbers,
were repulsed. They vigorously re
newed the attack at half past 9 o'clock
on the morning of the 14th, and the
advices state that the latest report is
that the fighting still continues.
The garrison still holds the city against
the rebels, but the fall of the city is in
evitable, unless the reinforcements now i
hurrying forward arrive within a few
hours.
The present revolution ia headed by
General Pospero Morales, who, until a
few months ago was a minister of war in
he cabinet, General Fues Barrios, a
brother-in-law of President Barrios, and
Feliciano Guitera.
These three men are candidates for
president to succeed Barrios for the con
stitutional time from 1898 to 1901. Their
antagonism of the president dates from
the time he declared himself dictator of
Guatemala and announced his intention
of having a law passed in defiance of the
constitution, permitting a president's
election for a second term. This meant
another term for Barrios, and met with
solid opposition from the upper classes
of Guatemala.
In view of this growing discontent, the
three presidential candidates decided to
meet Barios with bullets instead of bal
lots. The first movement in the plot
was to get possession of the barracks at
San Marcos, where a large quantity of
arms and ammunition was stored. This
was done by bribery, nearly all the sol
diers at San Marcos st that time joining
the rebel movement.
The rebel force is now 5000, and is
growing. This is made possible by the
wealth and standing of General Morales
and bis chiefs and the great discontent
in the financial circles of the country,
growing out of the business depression
there.

exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach. It
was as follows :
"Referring to our conversation we beg
to say the bank is prepared to carry out
what is laid down as permissible in the
bank charter, viz. : to hold one-fifth of
its note issue in silver, provided always
that the French mint is sgain open to
the free coinage of silver and that the
price of which silver is procurable and
salable are satisfactory."
Replying to questions, the governs
said the bank had bad no negotations
with the United States monetary com
missioners, adding:
"We have bought no silver. All we
have done is to agree under certain
circumstances to carry out what is per
missible under the act of 1844."

President.

St. Locis, Sept. 16. A special to the
Post-Dispatch from the City of Mexico
says :
An attempt was made this morning to
assassinate President Diaz by a supposed
Italian named Arrayo. There was a
general review of troops in thecity today.
Just before the review President Diaz, in
company with the minister of war, was
passing through a public park, when
suddenly a foreigner sprang from behind
a bush with a poniard and made a lunge
at the president. The minister of war
instantly seized the assailant, threw him
to the ground and held him. The police
came to the scene and placed the would
be assassin under arrest.
TWENTY VICTIMS O" TTPHOID,
This Number
nave Already Died at
Dawson.
San Francisco, Sept. 16. John Sid
ney Webb, attorney at Washington, D.
C, for the Alaska Commercial Company
has made a visit to Dawson and Klon
dike mining districts for the sole pur
pose of informing himself of the condi
tion ot living there and in Alaskii gener
ally, in order that he may speak and act
understand! ngly when matters affecting
Alaska arrangements, schools, etc., are
on the tapis.
"I have been all around the coast
route, as it is called, and up to Daw
son," he said. "Dawson is low and flat,
and even in the height of summer the
ground is frozen half a foot below the
surface and ice is encountered beneath
the muck. The development of the
creeks was followed by washing down in
to the river Klondike and thence into
the Yukon above Dawson, of large quan
tities of filth and refuse by the very
doors of the inhabitants of Dawson, and
it is no wonder there should be sickness
and death. In the little cemetery there,
there lay no less than twenty victims of
typhoid fever, and now the number no
doubt has been increased considerably.
The drinking water at Dawson is very
bad, and this adds to the sickness."
YELLOW JACK SLOWLY SPREADS

Nineteen Cases Have Now Been
ported at New Orleans.
New Orleans, Sept. 16. At 11 o'clock
today the board of health officially
declared the suspicious case of fever on
St. Andrew's street to be yellow fever.
This makes a total of 19 cases to date.
A telegram from Biloxi says an Italian

ently from yellow fever.
Bow England Proposes to Do Some
thing for Silver. .
.
.London, sept. lb. At the semi
annual meeting of the Bank of England
today the governor said :
"Yon are probably aware of the pro.
posals laid before the government in the
summer by the United States and
France wherebv this cpuntry should in
crease its use of silver as a contribution
to the international agreement, which,
while not affecting our gold standard,
might enable the mints of France and
America to resume free coinage. Among
the proposals was one asking that the
Bank of England hold the eilver permis
sible under the act of 1844 as against its
notes."
The governor then read a letter dated
July 29, addressed to the chancellor of
Something to Know.
It may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to a healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centres in the stomach,
gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing off
impurities in the blood. Electric Bit
ters improves the appetite, aids diges
tion and is pronounced by those who
have tried it as the very best blood puri
fier and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for

Argentlue Wheat Little Damaged.
New York, Sept. 16. A dispatch to
the Herald from Buenos Ay res says :
Despite the invasion of locusts, which
have come to Argentina by the million.
reports received as to the wheat crop are
ot a most encouraging character. In the
provinces of Santa Cordova and Buenos
Ayres every indication isnow that the
wheat crop, with good luck, will be so
great that they will be able to export
about 2,000,000 tons. With a fair de
gree of success there will be at least 1,-
500,000 tons for export. The prospect
for a big crop is splendid.
There was sown this year a greater
quantity of wheat than last year. The
planters have to contend with the lO'
custs to some extent in every province.
but corn has suffered more than wheat.

- Silver-Mine Owners.
Berlin, Sep. 16. The National Zel
tung, referring to the information in the
Times of September 10, that the Bank
of England was prepared to hold against
its notes, says :
"The unfavorable reception the an
nouncement has met with from the or
gans of British trade leaves no room for
doubt aa to the opinion of British com
mercial bodies, and as to the ultimate
fate of the latest American attempt to
secure for the silver-mine owners with
the aid of Europe, a rise in silver as a
reward for their support of the McKinley
