" IIE existingdiflicnlty between f Guatemala and Sun Salvador, which threatens to involve all the Central American repub-lics, renders particularly in-teresting and timely the fol-lowing correspondence from the pen of that close observer, Mr. Frederick W. While. It was written just before the be-ginning of Ihe present disturb-ances, and affords a graphic pict- - rios, the political heir of Ms famous m cle, was kept as general of the army tintil after four years bad elapsed, when he was to be made president of the re-public. Now Ruano had for a sweetheart the lovely daughter of Vicente Castanado, a rich and powerful citiren of the capital. There was family feud between the Ruanosand the Cautanadoa, and while the young people were very much in love with each other they had as hard a time as did Romeo and Juliet, with, remits equally disastrous. So bitter was the family feeling that Castanado appealed to the president to separate the lovers. This Barillas was willing to do, for he had long looked with hungry eyes upon, tlie beautiful sonorita, and he invited the father and his daughter to live at the president palace, and in that way keep the lovers 'apart. So Castanado and his pretty child became part of Barillas' household. The president was not slow in gaining the favor of both. He made Castanado vice president of the country, and the daughter he so dazzled with the glury of power that she well, she for-got her vows to young Ruano and be-came the Indian president's sweetheart. In time this news reached the discarded lover, who, seeing the treachery of Ba-rillas, at once resigned his office of gov-ernor and returned to the capital to nurs his wrongs. The months moved by, and Barillas in 1887 broke the constitution for the purpose of perpetuating his own power, whereupon part of the people re-volted with the vice president, Casta-nado, at their head. The revolt was quickly subdued and Castanado impris-oned. Fearing that he might be shot his daughter on her knees implored the president to save her father's life. This TUE CATHEDRAL XT GUATEMALA. Br of manners and politics as they exist in the Indo-Spanis- h sections of America. Under date of Guatemala la Nueva, July 15, Mr. White says: .What a day is Sunday in Guatemala for the stranger! Such a mixture of piety and pleasurel Such a variety of color, of sentiment, of animal spirite! ffou begin the morning with tremulous revsrence; you end the evening with high carnival. First, the celebration of the mass in what I believe to be the finest church in Spanish America. The opulence of il-lumination, magnificence of vestments and jewels I have not seen outside of Notre Dame, Paris. It is rarely beauti-ful and imposing. After mass breakfast in the patio of the hotel, if you desire, and then you can direct your footsteps to a cock fight, where the birds are handled with mas-terly skill and the excitemont runs high. It 1b one of the national pastimes, and is watched with tingling cheeks and bated .breath by the dark eyed senorita as well as by the cool and calculating mus--. online. The contests are short, sharp and decisive. Frequently a bird is killed by his opponent in a minute, then again threa or five minutes elapse before the contest is decided. Long, razor like gaffs are put on the cocks, a tuft of feathers is snatched from near their beaks at the instant they are lot loose to make them vicious, and then wlthont ft word they are at it. The attack in sud-den and terrific. It is a wild, mad fray Which must end in death. In two min-utes one of the birds has sheathed liis knife into the vitals of his opponent, who falls dead. Then the little circus with Bhouts, bets are merrily paid, and after a few minutes' inter-mission other birds are brought ont. At 4 o'clock is the hour of the bull fight. The building set apart by gov-ernment for the spectators of the bull GEN. JOSB RENO BARRIOS. Barillas agreed to do, but the next morning at daybreak Castanado was shot "by order of the presidont." Meanwhile Ruano was not idle. lie left the capital and went to the province of Mutagnescuintla, where his family was staying, and there hatched a con-spiracy for the downfall of the lecherous Barillas. On the evening of Oct. 5 of last year he regarded the time as ripe, and opened the revolt by taking posses-sion of the military station of the prov-ince. At once many flocked to the ban-ner of Ruano, and it was plain he had but to march through the republic to gain an overwhelming force, for Ba-rillas was most unpopular and the coun-try was ready to rise against him. They had many spies in the camp, however, for before Ruano had well started the government troops to the number of 8,000 swarmed down upon hira. He was captured, and within five hours he and all bia officers wore ignominiously ' shot and the' revolution was at an end. Barillas also discarded his lady love by marrying her to an accommodating Spaniard. She now mourns th loss of loyal lover, devoted father and powerful protector. Barillaa' treachery had extended to others. In 1889 it waa undorstcod that Gen. Barrios was to be prenidont, but the Indian dictator had "eaten of the in-sane root, ambition," and contrived to hold the fort. There being at this s of discontent, Gen. Barrios was suddenly clapped into prison, tho charge against him being that he was in prob-able sympathy with the revolution of Pacific, Oeen, ., J I !J Guatemala's chief tukatrk. fights is one of the most pretentions in the city, and many a fine event has taken place there. They are poor affairs, how-ever, in comparison with the fights in Madrid. Here the bulls lack vicious- - noss, and have to be goaded to fight, the only fatality being one or two untrained horses, killed by the formidable horns of the bull after he has been prodded and luuced to a condition of desperation. The picadors are more or less skillful, but taken all in all the Guatemalan bull fightis a trumpery thing a cruel, stupid substitute for the genuine Spanish arti-cle. It is not worthy of elaborate In the cool of the late afternoon Ihe people enjoy promenading and the gra-n-plaza where the band plays is quite en-chanting with its air of guyety and pleasure. Here the men discuss the fights of the day and settlo the affaire of thoir own and all other countries. ' On Sunday evening at their really beau-tiful theatre the people go to tho opera. On this Sunday night "La Favorita" was sung in Italian and sung very badly. The nudienoo was critical and hissed the unfortunate artists sadly. The gov-ernment pays a large subsidy to the para troupes, and in consequence the people expect the tat. They are not sat-isfied with ordinary performances. Af-ter the opera the lights are all out in the city, and it becomes suddenly ghostliko and dead. To the stranger tho reaction from the high excitement of the day is startling. There are romances in Guatemala of high and low degree, and none are more entertaining than tho strange story of the last revolution. I have it in its roman-tic entirety from the present sufferer, Gen. Jose Reno Barrios, nephew of tho great Barrios and the probable future SCENE OF TOK PRKSENT WAIt. Euano. Might is right in the Spanish American countries, Hud the govern-ment being strongor than the people it seemed that Barrios must suffer the fate of other innocent men. After being in prison for several weeks the order was given that ho be removed to n mountain-ous province. It is believed in Guatemala that had that order been carried into effect Gen. Barrios would have been quietly assassinated on the way, and the stumbling block to Barillas' ambi-tion removed. But the yonng general has for a wife an American, an ex-tremely attractive Now Orleans lady, who succeeded in interesting . the American minister in her husband's be-half. With Mr. Mizner Bhe appeared before the president and demanded the rolease of the captain or proof of his guilt. Tho presence of ; the American eagle had an immediate effect. Baril-las claimed that the prosecution was go-ing on without his knowledge, and Barrios waa released. But it was fair to assumo that his life was not safe in Guatemala, so for prudential reasons he left the country, your correspondent be-ing his fellow voyager upon the broad Pacific. Fkuderick W.

It dats from the year 1885, when upon the death of the famous dictator the leading officer of the army aided in mak-ing Barillas president of the country. He is an Indian and has the character-istics of that race physical bravery and personal treachery.

The origin of a slang phrase is some-times a difficult thing to traco, but sure-ly it is easy to understand why a person who buys stolon goods from a thief is called a "fence." Obviously if a robber wore seeking to hide the evidence of his crime when the ofih era of the law were in hot pursuit of him he would, if ho could, hide his "swag" behind the near-est fence. Hence "fence," a place to hide swag, and by easy transition the person who provides such a place. New York Press. Lumber and Cemwnt.
