Insulted every democart , every fulijmliuleit

Minneapolis is in the dumps tonight ,
nnd with good cause. Minneapolis
wanted the convention badly. A
general committee toprcsonting all
municipal and commercial bodies motycstcr
day. Nearly $ , " 0,000 , vns subscribed as an
expense fund. A committee of thrco was ap
pointed. This comndtteo to naino n commit-
tco of llfty to work for the convention In the
r'crests of Minnoapp ) ! .
Washburn wns chairman of the committee ,
the other members being W. M. Uegnn
nnd John Goodnovv. The gentlemen mot
this morning. Theio was the devil's own
timo. Kcgan nnd Goodnow wanted democrats
ns well ns republicans on tbo committo ,
Finnlly Wnshburn becnmo anperod , seized
his hat and emphatically declared :
"D m jou , appoint all republicans on that
committee or I'll have nothinp to do with the
movement. "
Then ho loft the room. Regan and Good
now weakly followed the orders of the chief ,
but when IJot-nti presented the names of fifty
icpubllcans at the mooting this aftetnoon ho
"Gonllnrnen As soon as this topoit Is ac
cepted theio will bo a vacancy on this com
mittee of fifty. I will have nothing further
to do with iho movement in any way , shape
or manner. " *
Mr. Wnshburn was not present. A perfect
tempest of rngo was only quelled after two
bouis' work.
Democrats have been much moro instru
mental in moving for the convention lhan re
publicans. The icpoit of tbo committee was
Ilnally adopted , but it weakened the move
ment and Minneapolis may bo considered out
of the convention raco. Tonight the dic
tatorial policy of Mr.vashburn Is con
demned on all sides. If the convention

CITor Mi MCO , Sept. 20. A icvolt has
boon precipitated In the republic of Guate
mala which will unquestionably become gen-
oral. A gentleman who loft the Citv of Gua
temala on the morning of tbo lutli inst nnd
who has just icached this city from Acapulco ,
brings Information that an outbreak occurred
in Guatemala City on tlio 15th inst. and was
still in progress wlion ho left. According to
his story the pcoplo of that citv were cele
brating tno anniversary of their national
holiday. It appears that I'toiidont Darillns
personally appointed the orators of the day.
To this the masses took oxccptlon , and when
the orators took the platform it was the sig
nal for a storm of stones , which sot thorn to
llight.
Exciting scenes followed , nnd every known
liberal or liarillas paitisnn was driven from
the pla/a. After that the masses elected
their orators and most violent , nnd Incendiary
speeches followed.
The news of the riot spread rapidly , anil
soon naiillns tlnown battalion of infantry
into the stjuaro to disperse the mob. Ttioy
wore met with a show erof stones and bullets.
This unexpected action of the mob put
them to llight , leaving many dead nnd
wounded on the plli/a.
Barillas then ordered artillery into the
plazn and Infantry nnd two cannons to gunul
his residence. When the guns wcio tinned
on the mob it dispersed They left the plna ,
hut fought in the side streets. In fact thej-
practically , dining the night of the l. > tbheld
full contiol of the city , though nt Intervnls
thev woio attacked by infantry , who shot
many of them.
It is thought this will cause a general 10-
volt throughout the entire republic of Guate
mala and engender war in all the other Central -
tral American states. A bluet consoishlp is
maintained over all pi ess dispatches and the
mails arc aUo opened to prevent the leaking
of tiny informa'.lon concerning the actual
condition of the countiy. It is stated that
cable communication with Guatemala City
has been interrupted.
Yesterday aftoinoon the Anplo-Amotlcan
recol\cd u special dispatch fiom Mew ton , on
tno line between Guatein ila and Moxico. It
brings information that Uaullas is master of
the situation , ho having put down tbo revolt
after three day's hard lighting. The icvolt
was precipitated by Monty far , a son of ono
of the candidates lor the piesldenoy , who is
a strong pnitUan of Barrlllus , in attempting
to make n political speech on
Independence day. The mob thiowhim ; and
his filends from the platform in the main
plua Fiom then till the nicht of the bib
Uict"3 was lightlnir , sometimes the mob being
in possession of the city and at other times
the arm ? .
Salvador is moing troops to the military
district of Santa Annbordering on the south
ern frontier of Guatemala , for the purpose , it
Is believed , of invading the latter country If
the CHef diidtomala icvolt spreads to Inte
rior pointb.
A pi i vale dispatch ton morcAiant of this
city from Now ton , si\s fully . X)0 ) li\es were
sacrificed In the three dav. < lighting in tha City
of Guatemala nnd that the shooting is still
going on. The disuntrh also convoyb the In
formation that Batillas has declared himself
dictator. It is stated that Colonel Jobon
killed Genoial Sanchiv , nnd n brother of
General Sanchez , learning of his assassina
tion , killed Jobon. General Sanchez' brother
wns executed. The city is under mnttlal law
andnicicnof teiror prevails , the inhabi
tants being afraid to leave their houses. The
palace nnd residence of President lituillas is
guarded hy soldiers and the president does
not stir nbioad unless guaidod by a laigo
force of caraliy.

ho returned to ttio State dopirtmont n tele
gram hnd boon received there fiom Minister
Kagan in tosponso to ono sent yesterday uslt-
ing for fnrthnr infoimation as to the situa
tion in Santiago. Its contents were not mauo
public , but it Is known that the acute phase
of the situation is pissed nnd nosoiious
trouble is now feared. Minister Kgan said
the dignity of his legation ha ; , been lucog-
nlzed.
So far as the protection of refugees Is con-
coined the practice of nations includes cases
widely variant In principle Our own his-
toty , however , shows that whcto the icfu-
gecs seeking an nsjlum in n legation were
uot Amciicnn citi/ons the United States gov-
ciiunent has uniformly discouraged their ad
mission nnd protection. A case that appears
to bo poitlnont oceuricd in IS'iO , when Mr
Clayton , our sccrotuiy of state , In n note to
the United States minister to Chill said'
"Aciiilosc'cnco | by the government of Chill
on formui occasions In the o\niclsoof the hos

Mr So ward niul other sdcrotancj down to
Mr Duyard ( In ncaso urising in Hn.\ti ) de-
I'llnod to claim any light of nsjlnm , nnd In
deed dlhcourneod it. lint the toul issue in
the present core appears to bo interference
witn free communication between the le.iu-
Ration In Santiago and the oiitsido woild ,
nnd in such cases tlio pro\lslons of Inter
national law arc inoro explicit. Uioaulv
stated , the countiy to which a minister is
accredited guarantees that inmo \ of pcuco
tins communication ihnll not bo intoriuptcd
and that the servants and attaches of the
legation are not to bo molested or nnv act
done that may tend to Impede the transaction
of the business of tha legation. 1'ho United
Stales In particular has shown Itself Intoler
ant of nnv such Intericrunco , and oven in the
Krnnco-l'russlnn war protested most effect
ively against the assumption uy the Gorinans
investing Pans of the right to Intoiiupt or
detain Minister Wasuurn'b mull messengers.
Wild rumors wcro in circulation this after
noon to the effect that Iho whltu squadron
nnd other vessels were to ho sent to Cnlll , but
thcso stories were Inconsistent with Secre
tary Ticcv's statement th t no raoro vessels
nro to bo oulqrod there.
In the cabinet meeting the subject of Mr.
Iran's troubles with the inntn were not
touched upon and it may again bo imttlvcly
stated that American inteie.sts in Chill will
be fully protected , the acute phaio and crisis
of the situation tiavo been passed and the
existing diniculty Is now likely to become
simply n subject of ordinary diplomatic corre
spondence.
All dispatches from Chid weto received at
the headquarters of the Chilian congressional
envoy In Washington up to 0 o'clock last
nluht. They contained no reloronco to the
reported airost of American citizens In
Santiago and the stationing of u guard of
police around the United States legation
building there.
