ARMY PUTTO ROUT

I March of Coxey's Men Intercepted by Police And j-eaders Browne and .rJgnes Arrested... BOTH PLACED IN CELLS To Await the Verdict of the Police Court. Commander Coxey's Great Effort Nipped in the Bud. As lie Appeared on (he Capitol Step to Speak lie Was Confronted by Blue Coat "Wild Scenes In the Vicinity of the Capitol The Retreat of the Array of the Commonweal After the Ignominious Failure of Its General Other Wealer on the March. WASHINGTON'. D. C, May 1. The march of Coxey's Commonweal army, which started from Masslllon, O., on Easter Sunday, ended today In interruption by the noliee. Fortunately there was no casualties and tonight Gen. Coxey is addressing his burlesque army in camp while Marshal Carl Browne sleeps in a police station cell and Christopher Columbus Jones, the leader of the Philadelphia, commune and the comedian of the movement, endeavors to appropriate a share of the martyrdom in an adjoining cell. The performance acted within the .ehadow of th capitol is without a counterpart In the mind of Washlngtonians. 'Over the broad, smooth plaza of acres facing the east front of the capitol was pacing a crowd of men and women numbering 10.000. The capitol steps and the porticos under the Grecian, pillars were packed with people of both sexes welldressed and most of the members of congress in the throng. An early adjournment had been taken by the senate on account of the death of Senator Stockbridge, but the house, not wishing: to seem to bo terrorized by the demonstration, went through the semblajice of a session with a handful of members. More than 200 city police reinforced the capitol officers. Detectives from several cities were sprinkled through the crowd for the concentration of lawless local characters gave Just grounds for apprehension of trouble apart from the presence of the Coxeyites. It was shortly after 1 o'clock when the army halted in the public street south of the capitol ground. Its flve-mile march down from Brightwood through the principal streets of the city had been witnessed by thousands. There were 50 men in line, Mrs. Annie L. Diggs, the populiPtic agitator of Kansas, in a barouch, Coxoy's seventeen-year-old daughter on, a. rreara-colored steed reprefentlng the god,d.es3 of peace, Carl Browne on a great grey stallion. Gen. Coxey, has wife, the Infant "LegaJ Tender" Coxey tog-ether In another carriage, Virginia LaVaJ.nte, said tobe an actress, on horseback draped in an American flag as the Philadelphia commune's goddess of peace, the unemployed carrying white flags of peace on staves and the nondescript banners setting: forth the doctrines of reincarnation, good roads and. enmity to plutocrats, sprinkled through the caravan. Marshal Browne halted the profession there in the street and walked back to Coxey's carriage where the general kissed his wife. Then the two moving spirits of the affair forced their way over the plaza to the capitol steps, their men, acting under orders, standing in their tracks. After Coxey and Browne pressed a yelling crowd of several hundred men, most of them following Browne, conspicuous for his unique costume. Trampling and tearing its way through the costly shrubbery the mob went, while the squad f mounted police which had headed the 1 irade. dazed for a moment by the un--x pec ted move, charged recklessly Into their midst. Coxey was confronted by the police as he took off his hat to speak on the steps, and his demand for his constitutional rights as he called It. being refused, thrust upon them a printed protest, which proved to be a well-worded epitome of populistlc doctrines. Meanwhile Carl Browne was being literally dragged by the collar of his coat through the crowd toward the nearest station after he had mad a fight b retain his banner. Two iollce captains, a lieutenant and sarge-ant thrust the mild-mannered Coxey without violence back across geveral hundred feet of humanity to his carriage. Mounted police were . forcing their lvorse among the people, several of them cracking their clubs over the heads of the nearest persons. Women were shrieking In terror, men were yelling fiercely, some were knocked down and trampled upon. For five minutes there was riot In that section of the mob in front of the east step, which occupied about an acre of the asphalt. Then the two agitating spirits having been removed and half a dozen particularly belligerent men having been taken In by the police the disturbance was quelled without serious injuries to a single person. Somehow the army was started e.ff toward its new tamp between double lines of police followed by a mob of thousands, cheering like demons for Coxey and Browne. "Within an hour the capitol grounds had almost regained their normal quiet with only a few hundred people strolling around. Gen. Coxey accepted the situation philosophically. Ills army was put to work clearing up the new camping gTOund for occupancy, while Coxey drove over to the ofilre of the district commissioners with an eye to business. He made application of them for the neceseary license tc charge admission to his camp. The commissioners desired time to con. elder the proposition, so acting upon their suggestion Mr. Coxey went to the clerk and by paying $." secured a license for on day only. Tomorrow Carl Browne ami Christopher Columbus Jones will le tried in the police court. Browne will be arraigned on the general charge of violating a United Mates Statut, the tne regulating the use of the capitol grounds. Probably Jones will be charged with disorderly conduct. Washington citizens wish int fervently that this trial might mark the passing of Coxeyism. Late in the afternoon Browne's bill was I fixed at $.".00. Mrs. L'mily Briggs, a wealthy re.ddent of this city, and Mru. Anna Hahn, a prominent labor sympathizer, undertook the bond and the chief marshal was set free. Mrs. Briars conveyed him In her carriage to ht home, where he took dinner, and then he returned to the arrny In Its tamp near the rlvr. Christopher Columbus Jones whs left to languish In the station house. None of the Coxey jeople eeem to 1 particularly Interested In his condition or fitte and It Is doubtful If any effort will be made to get him out of Jail. Jesse Coxey led the army to camp, hi white-dad slt-r, the goddess of peace, retaining her courage admirably. A squad of twenty-eifht police under Leti. Amitts meantlm- had marched over to ' the army and lined up to preserve order an It departed. A gray-haired rnsn with a O. A. B. button on his cost climbed up the steps if nn adjacent houe und began a harangue upon the rights of Am.-rLan tUizcns, which drew a frac

tion of the crowd. The army as iL marched' down Seeond-st. was followed by hundreds of ponrly-d rested men and women, who theered it all the way without intermission and shouted loudly. for cheers for Coxey and Browne. Gen. Coxey Talks.' . Gen. Coxey talked to an Associated Press reporter when he reached the new. camp. ' . v - .. : "l was careful to' walk on the sidewalk and trespass upon no- 'locals regulations when I went-up to the .steps," he'saii. "This Is the beginning of the movement; that is all. , The people are with us the common people.'. Look at the thousands who .cheered our. cause today. 1 We wiir ramaln right here:. Other bands of unemployed will "toin, ns.; Congress -will see. the will of the people ami will pass bur bins." v.:,v Browne and Jone, wnowas -arrested, with him., were m&rt'hed off tlvtfre policestation and locked up in' adJaoettt cells,' The entries irij their . respet.rve rases, were: "Carl Browne, age forty-four, "Occupation artist and Journalist fin'gVv charged with disorderly conduct r complainant. Officer Edward J. Scramlinp arrested by Officer Robertson. "Christopher Columbus Jones, fifty-nine years old. pumpmaker'. married, charged with disorderely conduct; complainant. Officer Collin Flithers; arrested by Officer Au Id ridge." Browne appeared cast down and crushed when he appeared at the door of his cell in reply to the reporter's knock. He was asked If he desired to make a statement. "I don't wish to say anything until I hear from the American people," was his response. Citizen Jones

heard the answer of the marshal and made a similar reply to the same query. Charges Against the Prisoners. After the disturbance had passed away there was a conference between the local prosecuting attorney and the police authorities as to the trial of the prisoners, Browne and Jones. Assistant District-Attorney Mullowney conferred with Maj. Moore, chief of police, and it was decided the two men should be arraigned tomorrow before Judge Miller of the police court Consideration was next given to the charge to he brought against the prisoners, and Mullowney decided to make the charge on the broad ground of a violation of the United States statutes. It was so entered in the blotter of the station. Under this allegation specific charges will ba made of entering the capitol grounds unlawfully, and of disorderlyconduct. Mr. Mullowney also directed the officers not to accept collateral in lieu of bail. Browne's attorney was told that any time ball was ready Judge Miller would fix the amount and the clerk of the court would make out the papers necessary to release the prisoners from custody. Coxey offered not the slightest physical resistance to the officers as he was escorted off the capitol grounds, and apparently wasn't pertrubed in the slightest degree. As Coxey came back to the waiting army and got into his buggy the excited crowd closed around the white stallion on which his daughter rode and thrust up their hands for her to shake. She smilingly accepted the civility with no apparent fear of harm from the mob that surged about her without hindrance. There were probably 10.00) people in the crowd that was wedged about the army, and when the procession started again it scattered the crowd with a wild rush and in a half hour or so after the army had marched away the crowd had melted awav. WASHINGTON. May 7. The trial of the Commonweal leaders, which has dragged along in the police court for three days, will be concluded tomorrow. Coxey's explanation of his plans for redeeming the government was the principal feature of the day's proceedings, apart from the Fpoeches by the lawyers. It Is apparent that the case is being tested on the broad grounds of justification for Coxey's movement, for the assistant district attorney. In his opening address, called Browne a crank and did not hesitate to insinuate that he "was a knave, while the opposition lawyers endeavored to make the trial apiear a persecution by the plutocrats of the people, and appealed to animosity against Wall-st. The defense had its mntng today in the police court trial, where the leaders of the Commonweal, Coxey, Browne and Jones, are on trial for their May day demonstration at the capitol. Attorney Hyman, who defends Browne and Jones, made the opening statement for the defense. There was no denial or defense for what the Commonwealers had done, he began, but the defense would consist in the lawfulness of their actions. He could but remember but one similar occurrence In history, he said, and thereupon he produced a bible and begun to read a scriptural passage. "I must object to that," interposed the district attorney. The gentleman should confine himself to a statement of fact." "Does the attorney deny that this is a fact?" demanded the lawyer, dramatically holding his bible up. Some lllhllcnl Points. He was permitted to proceed, and read the passage of the Old Testament reciting that the Lord had commanded Moses to take off his hat because he trod on holy ground. He had not talked long before Judge Miller was compelled to make the same objection raised by the district attorney and to request the lawyer to detote himself to the recital of what was intended to be proved. Instead of police the defense would call citizens who hod Witnessed the occurrence, Mr. Hyman said, t From his somewhat discursive statement it was gathered that the' defense would be based largely on the brutality of the police, in clubbing citizens. It was to be shown that Coxey had not walked on the grass, and that Browne had been driven through the shrubbery by the police. The first witness for the defense was Mr. Frank Harper, a young newspaper man from Alexandria. Va. According to his story, the police had driven the citizens on the grass before the procession arrived, In ord-T to clear the pathways. He saw "General" Coxey arrive. The general wore nothing designed to draw notice to his organization, but walked so quietly to the- steps that he was not recognized until the people who knew him pointed him out. Thirteen police stood on the Fteps and surrounded Coxey when li' arrived. The witness was certair. that Coxey had not walke.i on the grass. On i rof-exaniinatlon he said there were fifty or sixty thousand people waiting, all cheering and "whooping" for. Coxey. "Disorderly, were they not?" Inquired the district attorney. "Oh. no; they had a right to cheer; they were American citizens." said the witness. The iH-.llce came near riding down a little girl In front of him. Har--jer said. He had l-en ordered off the asphalt streets by the police two or three times, but returned. "Then you dlsottcyed the police?" said the district attorney. "The police are not the law; they are the agents of the people to carry out the law," was the reply. One of the persons in the crowd on the grass was Senator Allen, according to the witness. Witness number two was a colored rfi.m named Samuel L. Terry, who, when asked his business explained, "I am one of the army of the unemployed Just now." Until the beginning of the democratic administration he had been employed in the treasury. He had followed the procession, hod kept by Coxey and could swe.ir the "genen!" did not tou-h the gras. Being called upon to give a ruling on the question. Judge Millar said that it might be a mitigating circumstance, bearing upon the Intent to violate the law. that the defendant had been forced upon the grass by trcurrmtatne. The Judg added that a hundred viola. tlAns of the law did not exrus one violation. This witness had alao seen the police diive the people on the grass. Coey on the sinntl. Gen. Coxey himself, in his gray spring suit, with creased trousers, walked Into the wltrieHM-stand. lie g.ive his residence as Masslllori. O. "What is your business?" was skM. '

I "I have a, tuno yuairy, am u manu

facturer for steel works and run a stock farm. I am now engaged in lobbying for the unemployed people." "What Is the object of your visit to "Washington?" . "To petition congress to pass laws to give ?ork to the unemployed on public improvements.' The men Who came with him did so, Mr. Coxey" said,' upon the principle that they might as well . be with htm as anywhere -else. They were out of work and their, families are- destltue at home. "Did you, obey-the laws of the state?" "Not. one chicken feather can be traced to our camp. '."We .knew.; that the success of the movement depended upon our lawfulness: . 'Men were warned not to beg or drink,'' "My -object In going to the .capitol." said Mr. Coxey, "was to present to congress my two bills, the good roads bill and the non-Interest, bearing bond bill and to address the congress of the United States-and the American people on . them. I. demanded the-, protection of the police, who seemed to be Col. Bright' right-band bower, to present.to congress the petition from labor organizations In favor-of. the -bills." Judge Miller would not permit, the introduction as evidence of the speech Mr. Coxey intended to make or the protest he issued, saying they had nothing to do with this trial. Mr. Coxey told the story of the march to Washington without any embellishments. Mr. Bland Testifies. Next came to the stand Representative Bland of Missouri. After some wrangling over objections to questions Judge Miller refused to permit the congressman to tell how the police had clubbed the citizens. Representative Pence urgued that the defense wanted to show that all the trouble, was caused by the police, and taid they had a dozen members of congress to testify to that effect. Finally the member of congress was allowed to tell th.tt the police had driven women and children and men over the- grass in their charges. W. F. Longstreet of "Worchester, Mass.. and Mr. Stuz, a law student in Mr. Lipscomb's office, testified that paths were made across the capitol turf by people who took short cuts. AV. C. Shelby, a lawyer, described Browne's arrest, telling how the policemen plied their clubs on the people, and that the officer who arrested Browne had shown him the stick taken from Browne. It had no flag on it. The defense c:nsed its case and Mr. Lipscomb asked Judge Miller to charge the jury that the act of 1S5 was not Intended to restrict the right of citizens to peaceably assemble an petition congress; also that unless the banner carried was displayed, designed and adapted to bring the organization Into notice they must acquit; also that they must acquit Coxey unless he advised or abetted the others to display a banner and to walk on the grass. ' Judge Miller said that he would charge that the Jury must find that the defendants wilfully and knowingly trod upon the grass. The attorney for Christopher Columbus Jones asked the judge to Instruct the Jury that his client was to be acquitted of the second count, since there was no evidence that he had walked on the '-..-ass. Assistant District Attorney Muh.wney made the opening speech. Representative Hudson of Kansas, who began for the defense, said that it was plain that the defendants were not tried for the technical charge against them, but because they held political opinions contrary to the opinions of those in power. "These men are not being tried for stepping on the grass," he argued. "The district attorney will argue to you against Mr. Coxey himself and the Coxey movement." Mr. Hudson was followed by Mr. A. A. Lipscomb, also for the defense, and then the court adjourned.

Early this morning the lumber began to be delivered at a point below the confluence of the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers. At 10 o'clock a detail of ."Of) men, mostly mechanics of more or less experience, picked out of the army, left the camp undex the leaderShip of "Gen." Kelley, marched three abreast to the place where the lumber had been delivered and began work ing on flatboats. On the way they sang "Marching Through Georgia." and while crossing the river struck up, "There's One More River to Cross." They set to work with great eagerness, and before noon at least twenty-flve boats were In process of building. About fifty were nearly completed today. Kel ley explained that it was the first chance his men have had to work and he was very proud of the impression they made in this role. At 5 o clock this afternoon the first boat was completed, pitched and launched. Three cheers- were given for the first evidence of the Kelley navy. After plying around for a short time Kelley and the two women who Joined the army at Omaha got into the bow with four of his men as polemen. and, amid great cheering, began the Journev down the river to test its ability to float the navy. ' The' trial trip was pronounced. In theory-every' way success ful. , - . .. At 6 o'clock the men dropped their tools and marched back to camp. Tomorrow most cf the boats' will be "finished, but' it Is very döubhtful wheth er the army will set sail before Wednesday morning. Meanwhile a committee is going ahead, calling on the farmers and the people of towns near the liver to meet them as they float down and supply them with food. The prospects are that the river will be lined with people and carriages all the way down, as the country is thickly settled by pros perous people. Kelley expects to reach Ottumwa. about ninety miles down, on the evening of the second day. but he will hardly do so by the end of the fourth day. according to good Judges.

TIIK WHITELEY HEAPER AXP MOW. ER "WORKS DESTROYED. Buildings That Covered Five Acres Two Thousand Machines Ready for Shipment and l..00 Almost Completed, llnrned I'p EiprnniTe Patterns and Costly Machinery DestroyedTotal Loss 2 43.0OO Not a. Dollar of Insnrnnee To De Rebuilt. MUNCIE, Ind., May 6. The William N. Whltely reaper and mower . works were destroyed by fire this evening. The factory buildings,, which covered five acres, were located just north of Muncle. The loss on the bnlldings, which were constructed of wood and galvanized iron,is not great, but the destruction of 2,000 machines ready for shipment and- l,r00 almost completed, the patterns, which, were an accumulation that have cost thousands of dollars, and the costly new machinery that filled, the factory, brings the loss up to 52-10,000 without a cent of Insurance. . . Whltely. moved his factory to Muncie from Springfield, 0-. two years ago and has flnce furnished employment to from 300 to 500 men. a majority of whom came here with him from Springfield. Mr. Whltely arrived from Chicago this evening- while the 'fire was in progress. He said that thefactory wottld probably be rebuilt on a much larger scale.' The factory ' consisted of the main building. 40 by 4S0, with fifteen wings. each 40 - by 200 feet. They were one-story wood structures covered with galvanized Iron. The fire broke out in the scuth side of the factory and a strong north wind swept the flames to all parts of the factory, and in less than cne hour the entire building was consumed. The factory was situated Just across the river In the new town of Whltely, unavailable to the city fire department and the rste of .insurance very high. The fire started from red-hot gas stoves used to dry paint work on some rush order machines to be shipped tomorrow. While the loss is very great Mr. .Whltely is by no means financially ruined, as he has recently won damage suits from the McCormick and other reaper companies for infringement on his patents aggregating several hundred thousand dollars, and it Is possible that the factory will be rebuilt much grander than befpre. Mr. Whltely was prostrated and refused to talk, grieving like a child. He has been engaged In the business over half a century. Two cars loaded with knives and fine Pteel were' at the factory today to be unloaded tomorrow. Their destruction added $2,000 to the loss. Several men were prostrated with heat In their efforts to save fine tools. MUNCIE. May 7. Special. Instead of 2,000 finished machines being destroyed in the Whltely reaper 'works fire last evening the number was 800, lut over one thousand-others were' In 'cVjurSe of construction. ' '' '' " ' Mr. Whltely estimates his loss, very conservatively at $200.000. butsays that a half-million dollars would not have secured his consent to have, the . buildingfired as it was. The loss which was greatest to Mr. Whltely and on which no estimate can be made, was on the valuable patterns. He had recently finished models for a patent self-binder, which was soon to have been made and given a trial test. If his expectations had been carried out it alone would have made him rich. He had it sold for a big royalty. He will now devote his whole attention to. if possible, replace these patterns first of all and get the machine out. Very likely the work will be transferred to the Amos Whltely reaper works In Springfield. O., pending the adjustment of the ruins here. Omaha. Neb., today offered Mr. White. ly $150,000 to establish his factory in that city, and this exhibition of generosity only caused the first smile to creep to the reaper king's face since the fire..

SCOTTDALK. Ta., May 4. The north end of the Connellsvllle coke region 13 In a fever of fear, excitement and anxiety tonight. The terrible work at the Painter plant of the McClure company, bad as it was in itself, Is feared still more as foreshadowing the beginning of times and conditions that are inevitable unless this strike Is speedily settled. The battle today was between striking roles a small number of deputies and a comparatively few of the men at work at the Painter plant. Deputy Sheriff Sanford White and Chief Clerk Ewing B. Roddy were terribly beaten, and are tonight in a critical condition. Five men and two women on the strikers side were shot, and three of the men dangerously wounded. Fifty-six of the rioters have been arrested and are now confined in the Uniontown jail . The Painter plant was closed äowii by the strikers on the 24th inst. and was idle until Wednesday of this week. Early this morning Joe Sconesky's wife went about to the other houses and got the women of the striking Poles to join her in a proposed raid on the plant. About 6 o'colck she had 150 men. women and children In the ranks ready for a raid. The men remained in the rear and the women and children, led by Mrs. Sconesky, made a rush for the cokeyard. This region has seen many savage affairs in which woman unsexed themselves by deeds of cruel violence, but the old-timers say that never before has there been seen such a spectacle as this. Every person in the assaulting party had some sort of striking weapon; even the children crying shrilly as they flourished sticks suited to their size. Many of the women bore axes and some of the men of the mob carried ball bats and hatchets. Deputy White was the first man at the yard on whom a blow fell. Mrs. Sconesky had a ball club and her husband wielded an axe. White went down before the front rank of the raiders. Roddy and a clerk named James Tarr saw him fall. In the face of the fearful odds these two men sprang to his rescue and fought their way to his side. Then the frantic raiders fell upon Tarr and Roddy as White struggled to his feet blinded with blood. The three men fought desperately, but the odds were too great and finally all were down again under the feet of the mob. Roddy was beaten and cut about the head almost as badly as White. A. HI.OODV BATTLE. Story of the Awful Fight at ScottInle. SCOTTDALE. Pa.. May 4. About o'clock today a riot which caused much bloodshed occurred at the Painter works of the McClure coke company. The company attempted to begin operations at this and other plants. The women living at the plant were determined to drive the "Blacklegs." as they termed them, from work. They assembled with tin pans, clubs, coke forks, brooms and other weapons and marched to the coke yard. Sanford White, mine superintendent. Ewlng B. Roddy, bookkeeper, and a number of deputies were on guard. A phot was fired to scare the women and in less than a minute the men living in the houses rushed to the scene. White opened fire on the crowd, which numbered move than 100. Three men fell "wounded and all were badly hurt. The women carried off the wounded and the men became wild and surrounded White and Roddy, whom they regarded as responsible for the shooting. White was beaten over the head with a club and .was kic ked and knocked down and trampled on. He will not recover. The deputies opened fire again with Winchesters and on? woman, who is dying, was shot. Roddy, the lxkkeeper, escaped with slight bruises. The doctors are caring for the wounded and White lays in the miners' hospital. Ten strikers were injured and two of them will die. It Is feared that the foreigners will revenge their countrymen and that this is but the beginning of rv in the region. Dynamite may be used by them and the result may be very bad. The Injured now known are: Sanford White, superintendent, badly beaten, critical. Ewing D. Roddy, badly beaten, critical. John ykoneskl. shot through the thigh. Stephen Yonskl, shot through both thighs. James Skonepkl, head split with an ax. Murtez Schowski. shot in the shoulder. Unknown Danish woman, shot In thlffh. Thirty persons have been arrested charged with being implicated in the riot and placed in tne uniontown Jan. Tho wounded foreigners are being cared for In the houses near the factory. Sher iff Richards of Fayette county is on the scene with forty men armed with Win chesters. Tonight White, is "in the miners' hos pital at Con.vllsvllle. The latest re ports are that the chances of recovery do not equal the chances that he will die. Roddy was brought to his home here. He Is vomiting glol tonight and la a very badly injured man.

The Revolutionists Prrptrinc to Rise All Over the Country All Press ews Doctored by the Government Censor. NEW YORK, May 5. The World's San Salvador dispatch says: Gen. An tonio Ezcta, vice-president and brother of President Carlos Ezeta, is canonading Santa Ana, which is still held by the rebels. Citizens cf the place, dreading bom bardment, begged the rebel leaders to leave town, but their entreaties were of no avail. A battle was fought yesterday In which 1G0 rebels were killed and many wounded, according to the government report, while the royal army's loss was small. Gen. Ezeta has taken measures to cut off the retreat of the rebels, and it is asserted that the uprising will be speedilyput down. But the populace does not believe this story, although the government can throw many thousands of troops against the. rebels. Foreign intrigues started this revolt, rumor says, and the rebels have been well supplied from abroad. Salvador has declared a press censorship and all reports are colored to suit the government unless they are sent out of the country secretly. The rebels are gaining ground. They number now about two thousand well armed men and are likely to be immediately reinforced from Honduras. Gen. Letona, a Salvadoran refugee, who has been absent four weeks and returned today worn out. assured the World correspondent that Ezeta's downfall is certain, that the president is veryunpopular throughout ehe country, especially since it became known he i surrounded by advisers, who are mercenaries and destitute of patriotism. The latest advices from Santa Ana say that the revolutionary movement which was Instituted by Gens. Fernandez and Letona, Is rapidly gaining strength. The forces under Clen. Antonio Ezeta. nu mberin? 7.500 well-disciplined, troops, were preparing to attack yesterday, when they received news that the rebels would advance. Ezeta then suspended operations. Honduras is supporting the rebellion and although It has not yet extended beyond the departments of Santa Ana and Sonsatoba it is believed that revolutionists are ready to rise throughout Salvador.
