CURRENT EVENTS OF THE WEEK Doings of the World at Large Told in Brief. General Resume of Important Events Presented in Condensed Form for Our Busy Readers. LEADERS ARE TAKEN. Ecuadorean Rebel* Defeated By Gov­ ernment Near Guayaquil. Guayaquil, Ecuador — Government troops have defeated a force of rebel* near Fort Piedra, a short distance out­ side this city. The leaders of the re­ volt were made prisoners. The upris­ ing was started by Colonel Bejarano, aided by other former army officers, and i* reported to have been the back­ ing of the adherent* of the late presi­ dent, Eloy Alfaro. The Ecuadorean congress, which re­ cently was installed at Quito, the cap­ ital, has conferred on General Leoni­ das Plaza, the president-elect of the republic, full powers to cope with the revolutionary movement. General Plaza was elected president on March 31, and does not take office until September 1. Meanwhile the reins of government are in the hands of Alfred P. Moreno, the president of the senate. General Plaza was com­ mander of the government troops which put down the revolution follow­ ing the death of President Estrada last December. He was president of the republic from 1900 to 1904, and in 1905 represented his country as minis­ ter at Washington. After the death of President Estra­ da, General Pedro Montero was pro­ claimed president by the troops in Guayaquil. The army at Quito fav­ ored General Plaza, and the action of the Guayaquil troops precipitated a revolution. Plaza succeeded in capturing Guaya­ quil, and Montero, after being tried by courtmartial, was dragged into the streets and beheaded, hi* body being burned by the angry populace. Five ef the most prominent revo­ lutionists. including General Floyd Alfaro, a former president, and hi* nephew. General Flavio Alfaro, for­ mer minister of war, were taken to Quito and imprisoned. When their presence in the capital became known a mob stormed the penitentiary and put them to death. Reports from the English and Cali­ fornia hop fields are sending up prices. President Taft will again veto the amended legislative, executive and judicial bill. Carson D. Boren, the last survivor of the party that founded the city of Seittle, is dead.
