hero confirm the slory cabled Ihe Herald on
July 11 ! of n plot against President Ezotn.
Colonel Flores , who commanded a battalion
of the nattvo forces almost succeeded
in leading nn open revolt. The trouble
occurred in.Santa Amiawhero Vice President
Antonio Ezotn , brother of the president and
gcncral-in-chlof of the army , was conducting
the annual mlltlary review. The killing of
Colonel Flores when iho second volley- was
fired nt the mutinous troops and Iho daring
bravery of General E/.ola prcvenlea iho suc
cess of Iho conspirators. Afler Colonel
Flores had been killed General Ezcla walked
inlo Iho rebel lines , revolver In hand , amid
the cheers of his loyal soldiers. Ho culled
on the mutinous Iroops lo surrender and nil
threw down lliclr arms.
Colonel Flores had pcrfcclcd his plans and'
mlghl have succeeded In cxccullng them it
ho had not been killed so early In the light.
The telegraph wires to the capital had been
cut In order to prevent the forwarding of re
inforcements , nnd arrangements had been
made to assassinate General Ezota at his
hotel. Elcho Rationale , iho newspaper
organ of President Ezota , says It was a well
organized conspiracy and expresses the be
lief that It was directed from Guatemala.

borers. On several estates overseers huvo
already been killed in cold blood. The
planters are holding Indignation meetings
nnd proicsling against the government's
failure lo punish ho perpetrators of the
murders. Fears arc openly expressed that
there may soon bo a general uprising of the
coolies , acting in co-operation with BOIJIO of
the Indian tribes of the Interior , nnd it is
thought thai such an alliance might mean
the deslrucllon of the men who occupy some
ot the weaker outposts.
A lotler from a colonist in Demcrara gives

July 23. [ By Mexican Cable to the Now York
Herald. Special to THE BII : . ] The Herald's
correspondent tn Rio Janeiro telegraph.1
that * the only definite news concerning
the situation there is that the govern
ment is afraid to let the warships
leave that port. It depends almost
entirely on iho loyalty of the oillccrs ard
men In Iho Heel and believes lhat a revolu
tion might be started should the ship bo al
lowed to leave Iho harbor. It Is generally
believed that the discontent In Rio Janeiro Is
being caused by partisans of the family of
the dead emperor , Dom Pedro. There Is
great activity at the arsenals and all the
warships are being put In lighting trim.
QTho United Slales cruiser Philadelphia
has salhd from Rlu Janeiro and is expected
at Valparaiso next weok. Lawrence Bunot ,
representing the IlotchkUs gun factory , has
arrived here for the purpose of inspecting
the guns In the Chilian arsenal. Flake's
telemeter , which bus been put aboard Ihe
Captain Pratt , works admirably. General Pie-
tula Is reported to have brought a number of
horses and sent ilium to Peru. He holds
consult ut ions dally , with Isidore Erruzuriz.
Several persons in Santiago are known t
bo advising him as to the details of his cam
paign for president of Peru against General
Caccres. The Herald's correspondent In

LONPON , July 28. The newspapers today

lias nothing to say about the way closure was
applied during llalfour'a reign. It regrets
that thuopiKi&ltlon took notice nf "tho dis

Uludntunlan paper * refer to the Insults
flung at Gladstone by Chamberlain nnd call
attention to the fuel that thu first blow in
the iculllo was struck by a conservative.
They al o find it worthy of note thai O'Con-
iior manfully apologized for whin ho said ,
while there waa no hint of an apology or re
traction from Chamberlain and his abettors.
The Daily News ( Glndstenlau ) : "When
the House learns huw iho disturbance arose ,
ihcra will bo a universal feollng of in
dlgmUlon and regret that the most
Illustrious itittosman of the age

Tl-o Pall Mall Gazette : "It cannot bo said
that the scene was out of Keeping with the
whole story of the homo rule bill. When
Parliament has been violently ravished of
Us freedom it is idle to complain overmuch ,
because Its petticoats are soiled. "
The St. James Gazelle and several oilier

reference to Herod was to bo applied rather
lo Mr. Gladstone's flullorcrs than to the
prime minister himself.

mong the foreigners resident hero con
demns the action of the British minister in
lending away the Swift yesterday. Tlio
bar is still open and French re-entry Is possi
ble. If no attack is made tomorrow there
an be none for ten days , on account of tides
unfavorable to crossing the bar at the
mouth of the Menam river.
The general expectation Is that early in
iVugust the French fleet will attack Bangkok
mul land some 5,000 men. There Is little
doubt here that Franco's purpose is to make
Sinm a French colony. The Siamese govern
ment is exceedingly anxious to avoid
open warfare. When Ihe gunboat Lutln ,
ivas at the Menam bar early this morn-
ng , the foreign minister sent to M. Pavlo n
note to the effect that the king and his ad-
ylsors were most anxious to maintain peace.
All such efforts , however , are believed by
the English residents to bo vain. Unless
England Intervenes to assist In the settle
ment of the dispute , there can bo litlleex-

rain from extreme measures.

NEW YOIIK , July 23. It was said today
that higher prices for American stocks in
London confirmed the news published yes
terday that Now York capitalists had com
bined with other interests to buy stocks and
carry them abroad. A broker said : "The
sense of such an opinion Is Us bosl explana
tion , Everybody admits slocks lo bo cheap
hero , while in London there is n plethora of
money. It Is , therefore , simple enough to
buy stocks hero and curry them abroad.
The market bus turned. London Is ready
to curry all the stocks' wo want to send over
there , . With stocks going out and gold com
ing in , ihero Is very little doubt as to iho
main movement of prices. "
In connection with this statement , 11 was
said a conservative estimate of stocks to bo
shipped ID ICuropo w.is between 50,000 , and
00,000 shares.
( iold Iniportiitlom.
Intcrosl In Wall street to lay was largely
centered on the reports of gold Importations ,
According to well Informed bunk official ?
some very erroneous reports have been
published concerning them. One of thoao
bunk presidents , a leading member of the
clearing house committee , mild lo a reporter
that the talk of a bank syndicate having
been formed to Import gold , or that thu _
clearing house had arranged to assist cer
tain banks to do so , was only not so , but
absolutely nonsense ,
' If any one will study the rates of ex
change , " he continued , "he will sou for him
self tliat they warrant u movement of gold
this way , Now , anything thai is being
done by any bank or banks lo facilitate that ,
legitimate und proper movement Is simply
and solely an individual mailer between tlio
bunk und Its customers who Import the gold.
The operation is a very simple one ,
"Exchange is offering ut a rate which
warrants the importation of gold. Hut to
buy these bills the importer must huvo
money to do so. Now , let him have the
money at a mo'dcrate rate of interest , s&y
the legal rate of G per cent , tn buy thosa
bills en which ho imports the gold , and the
operation is done , Not that 1 sell tlm
bunks , for cerium banks are doing all they
can to facllllulu the Importation of gold , and
thny are doing Dial individually , and Ihtt
clearing house has nothing io do with it ,
The members of the clearing house , how
ever , I may say , approve of the transaction ,
as It will be the means of expediting and
strengthening Ihe movement , thus adding
to our cash resources by increasing our gold
supply. It Is natural for gold to come hero
now from Europe , but the scarcity of money
on this side and the high rules undoubtedly
acted as an Impediment to the inovetnont.
