Wa.bi5gto7, April 13 Dj you believe the reports of the death of General Barrios?" year correspondent asked of Senor Bitres, the Minuter of the Republics of Guatemala and Honduras, and personal friend of Genend Barrios, as he sat at the Arlington jester da j. "o," he raid, with a niomeni'e reflection, f I do not At 1 hare already said in recent laterriewi, the cable from that country la in the hands of the enemies of General Barrios, and they will lend whatever they choose. Bnt thii Is not all. Nobody who hai any light to apeak on the subject, or who would be likely to do to if the atory were true, has intimated that it is true. The repreaentatires of the United States in that section are bright and intelligent men, well posted as to their duties, and if they had information of this kind they wonld be sure to notify the State Department. The Secretary of BUts assured me, ho wem, that he has scthingf torn there to indicate that the retort Is true. The eon of General Barrios has ro information on the subject. Surely, if the reports were true, he would In soma wav l,e notified of the fact I hare had no information to confirm It or to at all indicate that it ii the fact I aurely would have had something, representing as I do the republic of which General Barrios was for more than twelra years President, If it were true." "Ythat wonld be the result if it were true? 7ould it end the attempt to organize a Union of the Central American Re publics In one?' 'No: I don't think it would. There are others who would come to the front as leaders in support of the cause. Of course, I don't mean to say that there are others with as great influence and experience and ability as, perhaps, to this country, perhaps to JEuropV 'What is his personal appearance?'' "He Is of medium aiz 9; about forty-eight or fifty years of age, and slightly gray. He has a fine and pleasing presence, and a firoad and cultivated mind." "This is not, it stems, the firsttime that Cieneral Barrious has been reported dead by hie political enemies. In lSG'J. while leading his forces at Huehuetenano, ke was wounded and obliged to take refuse in the mountains. The report was spread bv the leaders of the then Gavernment of Nicaragua, which GoTcrnment he soju after overthrew, that he was dead. That be was not is shown by the fact that he b sea tne I residentof the tameGaaiatnaia iu lesjthan two years from tbat time, holding the position fcT more than a decade, though attempting to resign it more than encs in that paTied. A cood deal ct interest is felt here for General Barrios, for he is a remarkable man. But I don't believe that even the great loss of his death wou'd end the attempt at a Republic." "Will jou tell me briefly Ihe origin cf the warf' The five ema'l Republics constituting Central America were in the time of the Indians one Kingdom. When the Spaniards come they continued it as one country, but divided it into five provinces. InlSS'Ja revolution broke out, and the five provinces became fife Republics. A few rears ago liarathon, who noT, for some curious reason, objects to the nnion, tried to unite the five Republics, but failed. Soon after his attempt, however, a statute was inserted in the constitutions of each of the five States to the efiect that when so desired by tBe reople, they should become one nnion. Now the people have expressed their desire for the nnion. and there Is not a single man in any of the fire countries who, U you were lo ask him, wculd not say he is in favor of tha union. It was to compel the unwilling to unite with the willing that Barrels took arms." 4,T7hat force has Barrels under him?"' 'He has 'Ü.C0O men at his back, and whenever he needs it he can have as many more. Ha is simply a military uniter, 10 to sp;ak. Tust like Grant was in the war between ths 5"crth at d South. It is not his intention to xnia himself President of the nnion, and hz declared that even if he was elected to ihxt petition he would decline the appointment He Is a wealthy man, and after lie has effected the union he will corns in ths result of the attempts to form this nsba cf tha Central American States. That General Lorries is a man to awakeu some rnthr 1 amang his followers 11 shown by sha t:ÜOTrbz extracts from aa address 2tsu:3 by him to the army of tbe proposed ncicn. It CCS j tut reached here and has not Kn til Zfz Izvi published In this country. ZJtn CT9 rasa of the meat striking features i cf tto c-drcro: 'Ter a lcnj time piat tbe j rc locf Cc-trd America, rant asundsr by tio cz:nI:o cf fccx tcacrs, her grand utr and 1

bcr liberties, have longed for the reconstruction cf our native land, aud have asked to again become one Commonwealth, mighty, happy and respected. I have f r a long time been energetically and persistenly caUed upon to e'art, proclaim and sustain the great cause of Central American nationality, aid being the depository of all the hopes for a unicn, I am also the only one open whom the triumnhant realization of that idea is made to depend. In answer to this summons, being duly aware of the immense responsibilities which I would iccur were I to remain inactive, and obeying, at the same time, the impulses of my heart for the re establishment of one commonwealth, which should be our pride and our legitimate glory, I have upon this date Issued the decree by which I pronounce mjtelf in favor of the union, and assume, in order to carry the same into effect, the su

preme military command. Here I em, then, at the head of this Ion?prajed for movement unfolding the bsautiful tlsg, which is the fl tg of our future, leadleg the hottswho may come to -join the army of tte Union, and wholly devoted to the exclusive service of the cause of redemption and to the defense of its sacred standard. There is nothing grander, nothing nobler, than this came; none other appeals like this to tte test and highest feeling of the Central American heart; the Central Amei leans bslieve that this act of mine is indispensable; in their judgment the triumph of that idea lies in my power; and although I do not presume so much, I can not go against their persistent wishes, or resist my own duties and convictions Inspired, therefore, by the grandeur of the idea, and animated by a firm belief in the triumph of a principle supported by nature, by public opinion, and by the dignity of patriotism, I hasten to assert and sustain that principle with all my being, all my worth and all my power. Something tells me upon this solemn occasion, that victory is ours and that ths union of Central America cm be effected without extraordinary sacrifices; but if tbese sboald be indispensable, I am ready to oifer upon the altar of duty aud the altar of my country my welfare aud life. I would with pride and satisfaction obey and fight as a c: in re on soldier, gladly contenting that a worthier one should occupy the position of chief, which public opinion has forced me to A . 1 A. 4 V f 1 a accept; put mis position, auaougn a giori- : ous one, is a dangerous and responsible one, j and for this reason I have not for an instant ; bf sitated in accepting it with enthusiasm. I am not influenced by ambition, since I have tasted, by sad exnerience, the bitterneis of power. Were I actuate! by such ambition I would have availed myself of the many opportunities I have had of easily eratifying it, without the penalties and responsibilities which I now voluntarily take upon myself. Nor am I promoted by any t elfish desires, either of personal gain or exclusively promoting the grandeur and prosperity of Guatemala, because my position and means are amply sufficient to gratify all my wishes, and this Republic, which is to day comparatively prosperous, wealthy and mighty, is in a position which enables her to give rather than to ask anything from the other Slates, and can do much to promote their progress and welfare. But I am impulsed by the sad spectacle offered by this email and destituted people, and by the conviction that it is my unavoidable duty to do something to extricate this country from its helpless and sad condition, and to struggle with all my power and die if necessary in order that my children and the children of my fellow citizens may have a Fatherland, may enjoy all their rights and be protected and respected. Let us all unite and fight for one sole country thefatnerland whose orphans we have been during so many years; the fatherland which we lack to day, the inheritance of which our children haye bsen deprived ; the fatherland which we shall be able to bequeath to them as the most precious lepacy, the most inestimable gift. Those will stay who are satisfied with their ignominious insignificance and smallness.who do not feel their blood boil with indignation and their faces burn with shame when they consider the sad condition to which we have been reduced by the division of our territory; who, rejoicing in a life of slavery and indolence can behold with indifference the agonies of the country, and calmly await the obsenre termination of an existence spent in the vilest degradation; who are not worthy in one way of the name of Central Americans. But those will surely come whese hearts are fired with patriotism, who long to possess a country, who love tbeir children and wish to leave theai that country end save them from that abyss into which we have been thrown by territoral division. All the good sons of Central America, who are the Immense majority,, will surely come. And alas for those who may not come upon this memorable occasion. Upon them will fall the eternal curses of posterity, and history will mark their brows with the terrible brand of iafaray. we may. consider ourselves happy becanee it has fallen to out lot to un dertake this patriotic campaign for the nobketand grandest of all causes, for the only cause for which we should fight and die, the only one worthy of the blood of the- "sons of the people. You, who in bloody and unequal battles have performed wonderful feats of bravery, raisirg very hijh the name of the Gaulemalah eoldiers. You, whose loyalty, energy and honor have always been ab;dient to my voice, and who have always lent me your ilicacious aid to obtain victory here is a vast field fcr the display of your heroism. I zely upon you, and being with you, I fear nothing. With you, every undertaking is efsy for me, every triumph is certain. Here I am the first because when we must march together to the field of honor, I have neither position, children nor family; my faithful companions-alarms and the Idea we defend, then absorb all my thoughts. By your side, among you, being one of you, you will always have me, because your misfortunes must be mine, also your glories; and because I neither wish for nor accept any other distinction than that of always being at the front, occupying the post of danger, offering my breast to the enemy before any of you, for dearer than my own life Is to me is the life of the last of my ; soldiers. If we are destined to fall we will ' fall together, but gloriously and covered I with honor, in the defense of the most I sacred of all causes, deserving well of posi teritr. earninc eternal eratitude. and leavleg assured the establishment of tbe Union." AMUSEMENTS. exglish's orxsa uor?e. The Lorellaaopen a three night engage ment at English's to-morrow night in "Misheps." They are very similar in their style of acticg to the Hanlons. The production is made up of mirth-provoking gymnastics, catchy music, singing, and wonderful tricks, governed by not a very intricate plot. We quote the following from the Louisyille Courier-Journal: The Lorellas, In "Mishaps," commenced a week's ecgigement last nlgat at the Grand Theater, and certainly proved themselrcs drawing card, ss the house was packed, being the largest tte Grand his had this season. The play made a bit. It situations are new and original, and It introduce features never seen before. The plot, altboujh obscure, is certainly better aeSncd than many cf the comedies of the same class. Tbe first scene opens la the "Batterstj a" flat?. Pari?, and Hires the LcrcLt?, as three club friends of "IUttersby,'' an opirtnnlty to dip!ay tbeir talent as pantorciici.tjj and comeolana, which they certainly lake adrantac of. They keep the hoase in a contlLcal nprcar, and brin: the curtain donn amidst mit arplacs. Darias act second they introduce their trick cab, which is orlzinal and very cleTcrly done. The third and lt act is the stroesüd of the piece; the coblin dance and the tainted house delighted the audience. Tbe three LoreUas, Thomas. William and wird, are excellent athletes and good ac.ors. Mr. Archie Eoyd made his tint appearancaia the play, and will add to Its strength. The rest of the c&u is good. Miss Marion Fake, as the sister, was infectious with her good humor and viiatity. Mi Jennie Inland, la sons and dances, ia very cleTcr. The other members of the company did verrwelL The singing U well done. "Mishaps" ia a great success. Tin w. c. cocr xuwcur.RicuicjL, Commencing tomorrow evening at ih3 Grand Opera House andcenUnuing through

out tbe entire week, with matinees every day except Monday, the attract'on will bs the world-famed W. C. Coup Equescurricilum, unquestionably the greatest novelty of this sge of huge events. This exhibition is abso lntelyand beyond all precedent the finest display of wonderfully trained horses and mules the world has ever known. There are twelve of these equine wonders, and the entertainment they give Is indescribably won derful and novel, and, withal, so elevated and refined in every presentation as to command, through morale as well es merit, the most distinguished and immense patronage everywhere. These bones, m their wonderful perfarmancss, playing school, examples on the blackboard, at recces, removing their master's overshoes and overccat, telling the month, day of the month, hour of the day, pumping, churning, rocking, playine S3ldir in the grand military drill, and oVer 100 other brilliant feats never before performed by horses, give an entertainment lasting over two hours on thes'eg. The 1 educed scale of prices 1" Ü.3 and .V) cents, with 50 cents for reserved seats will place it within the reach of everybody. A Cincinnati paper, after commenting upon the performance at so re considerable length, cloees by saying: It is entirely within the limits of veracity to assert that no such horses as tbe Coup hon htve ever been placed on exhibition in this city, ana that tbe display is popular and satisfactory to every visitor is not at all a matter of wender. The rare element of perfest and absolute novelty abounds in every trick that is introduced by this marvelous equine tronpe. Those who go to the exhibition with the expectation of seeing anything they ever saw before will be agreeably disappointed, for everything that is presented or done is refreshing, not only from its originality, but for the celerity with which it executed, and the striking suDeriority of the

feat or feature introduced. We can by description convey but a faint idea of the character of this exhibition or of the many new points in "horse culture" which it presents, THE DIME MU'IVM, That success be?ets success ha3 been amply demonstrated by the career ol Drew, Sickeit it Co.'s now famons Monarch Museum in this city. It was a success from the start, and each succeeding week has only height ened and improved this success. The management haa been wizc, energetic, far-seeing and sagacious, and as a result nothing but first-class attractions have been exhibited. The consequence has been packed houses ail the time. The week just closed was one of the best this popular re3ort has ever experienced, over 25,000 people pissing through the doors. For the week opening to morrow afternoon Manager Srckett promises by far the strongest show of the season, embracing, among other features Miss Lotta Raymond, the great human paradox, or 'camel child'' a perfectly developed woman's head and face and a camel s body; Barney Nelton, the marvelous mouth writer; Madame Rose, French bearded lady ; Callahan, the great ventriloquist and third baseman; James Green, popular eccentric comedian; James Itlley, the favorite character vocalist; Walter Leroy, comedian and terpsicborean artist; England's gymnastic marvels, the McCart Family; the wlnv Wanlratta," King of the high wire, Wiflett and Tborne, refined sketch artists, and Charles Cly Harris Comedy Company, and Gordon end Lick's congress of stars, two Li shows consclidated. The admission to all will bs only 10 centa another dollar show for a dime. NOT RS. Tbe 'Camel Child" will ba tbe att-action par excellence at the Dime Museum this week. Doris' big circus next Friday and Saturday will bring all our "country cousins" to town, and cause an upward tendency in the "ginger bread" market. "Denver" the little clown of the great Coup show, at the Grand this week, will bs a great favorite with the ladies and children. He Is an awfully funny little "jay." Manager Dickson will lose two of his most trusted and valuable assistants next season, James V. Cooke and Joseph E. Gordon, both leaving to assume positions with traveling companies. The firtt thrfe nights of next week the Grand Opera Houee will be occupied by Bartley Campbell's "Galley Slave" Company, and the last three nights by the famous Mexican Orchestra. Manager Anderson has a large and var'.ei assortment of buttons, gathered from the floor of the theater after the performancs cf "A Tarlor Match company. Therestill lurks a merry twinkle in their eyes. "O'DonGvan Rossa," the great Irish agitator, lectures a1, English's the latter part cf the week. Subjes: "Ireland's Attitude To ward England" a subject full to over tl )wirg with interest to many thousands. He still wears the coat through which ps-o i the bullet that cams from the pistol of Miss Yeeeuit Dudley. Ooe of the most interesting things to your reporter is to stand at the entrance of the auditorium of the theater and note the diflerent types cf humanity that come In dressed in all manner cf styles, handsome, homely and very ugly; frowning, smiling, full of hesltb, and egain just able to drag one foot alter the other; in fact, a kaleiicscopa of humanity only seen in a city. The Elks give a social next Sunday night at their nail. The following information ii given the public: The Elks held tbeir s?ssions, both business and social, on Sunday evenings simply on account of the theatrical membership, who, being employed during the week, can only attend on Sunday evenings. After the clcse of the theatricsl teason all meetings are held on week day nights. Some of our beat citizens are members of the Order, which is one of the most popular and growing orders in the States. MUSICAL XVESTS. The Easter music rendered on last Sanday at the various city churches formsd a very attractive and pleasant part of the services. Special programmes had been prepared by all, and at many of them ths regular choirs had been largely augmented by the engagement of some of our leading soloists. The selections were especially pleasing at tbe Meridian Street. "St. Paul's, St. John's. Second Presbyterian, Central Christian and First Baptist Churches, their regular choirs being all composed of the best musicians Sunday evening the Liederkranz Society gave a regular monthly entertainment, at Mczart Hall, which was well attendei by our German citizens. The programme Was varied and Interesting, reflecting credit on the leader, Mr. ErnestnlofT, and the membership. Tuesday afternoon the Mndei Clothing Company gave public concerts, Professor Miller's orchestra and Messrs. Id gal Is and Shoemaker, furnishing an enjoyabls programme. The most prominent musical event 0! the week was Lyra Concert on Friday night, which was largely attended and thoroughly enjoyed by all present. The large and well trained orchestra addsd much to the appreciation by the excellent manlier in which they performed the arduous datles allotted to them.
