The latter, without falling back a step, contented himself with giving a signal. At the same moment a slip-knot fell on the general’s shoulders, and he rolled oa the ground with a yell of rage. Curu­ milla had lassoed him. In vain did Don Sebastian attempt fur­ ther resistance; alter useless efforts he was reduced to utter impotence, and forced not only to confess he had been vanquished, but to yield himself to the mercy of his conquerors. The massacre was ended, the insur­ rection had been drowned in blood. The few rebels who survived the carnage were made prisoners: the victors, in the first moment of enthusiasm, had shot several, and it required the most energetic inter­ ference on the part of the officers to check this rather too summary justice. At this moment joyous shouts buret forth, and the President of the Republic entered the courtyard at the head of a large staff, glistening with embroidery. "Ah, a h !” he said, as he took a con- temptuous glance at the general; “ so this is the man who wished to change the in­ stitutions of this country?” Don Sebastian did not deign to reply; but he looked at the speaker with such an expression of implacable hatred that the President could not endure it, aud was forced to turn his head away. “ Did this man surrender?” he asked one of his officers. “ No, coward,” the general answered, with clenched teeth, “ I will not surrender to hangmen.” “ Take this man to prison with the oth­ ers,” the President continued, “ an exam­ ple must be made; but take care that they are not insulted by the people.” “ Yes,” the general muttered, “ ever the same system.” “ A full and entire pardon,” the Presi­ dent continued, “ will be granted to the unhappy men who were led astray and have recognized their crime.” “ Clemency after the massacre, that is the usual way,” the general said again. The President passed without answer­ ing him, and left the courtyard. A few minutes later the prisoners were led away to prison, in spite of the efforts of the exasperated populace to massacre them on the road. General Don Sebastian Guerrero was one of the first to appear before the tri­ bunal. He disdained any defense. He was condemned to death and his estates confiscated. (T o oe continued.)

Portland, Oct. 24.— In a fire that fol­ lowed an explosion on the Open R iver Transportation com pany’s steamer J. N. Te; 1 at the foot of Oak street, at 4:45 o ’clock yesterday m orning M r*. Amanda FI. Jackson and James C ollin* were incinerated, Jack fla s le y was seri­ ously burned and the vessel’s super­ structure was totally destroyed. W hether the accident was caused by the explosion of an oil burner or of on « of the boilers is in doubt. An official Investigation w ill be started by th « United States inspectors to determ ine the facts. The steamer was practically new, having been launched the latter part of May. On June 20 she was placed in commission lietween Portland and the state portage road at Uelilo, connecting w ith the steamer R elief, w hich was operating on the upper stretches of th « Columbia. During the 4*^ months the craft had been in service she never missed a trip . She completed three round trips a week. I t is declared that no other boat on the river ever ran more steadily than she, and this is the first accident the boat ever experienced. Though not regarded as an unusually speedy Ixiat, she succeeded in m aintain­ ing an average sp ed of about 16 miles an hour. Aside from carrying general freight both up and down, the steamer handled a largo number ol passengers. Prim ar­ ily she was built for the purpose of getting an independent steamer line established and to add to it as occasion demanded, with the v ie « - o f having w ater transportation facilities as far inland ns Lewiston, Idaho. The slogan of the company was an “ open riv e r,” hence the name chosen for the corpora­ tion. O f lato the m ajor portion o f her car­ goes on the down trips have been made up of wheat. Th e R elief, running from C elilo, or the upper terminus of th « portage road, brought grain on the down trips almost altogether and man­ aged to keep enough of the cereal at the portage to keep the Teal busy in con­ nection with the other line of freight she handled. Joseph N. Teal, secre­ tary of tho company, states that the R elief w ill be kept in service. Before too great a quantity of freight accumulates at the portage he is confi­ dent that another boat to handle the traffic at this end of the line w ill be chartered. S teilin g, 111., Oct. 25.— A distinct and im portant step in the m ovement to secure a deep wuterway from Lake M ichigan to the G u lf o f M exico was taken yesterday w ith the opening to navigation of the Illin o is and M issis­ sippi canal, which has been com pleted after 30 years of work.
