Nut Altogether a Sururtaa. Washington, Aug. 3d. The assassination of President ldarte iiorda. uf Uruguay was not altogether a surprise to officials here, who have watched the recent outbreaks in Uruguay. This was the second attempt on the president's life, the former being made by a eraay student name i Keveeca. After it failed the I'nited states minister made a personal call on Pres. dent Borda to convey the congratulations of President McKinley on the former's escape. The last mail advices received her showed that the revolution had broken out afresh, the peace delegates from the insurgents having given up the hope of securing peace and w ithdrawn to Argentina. Further agitation w as occasioned by the reports that the government receipts had shrunk 81.000.iHK) during the year as a result of the revolution. The last issue of the Montevideo Times received here, states that the president remained away from the state house in evident fear of his life. At the same time a "Colorado" or junta of those

The assassination of the president doubtless will bring the country to a revolutionary crisis which has been long impending. The revolution thus far had been coutined to the country districts, where several extensive engagements had been fought, the government forces securing the advantage. There is no I ruguayan representative in Washington. At the time of Seuor llorda's election he Islofatjsa1 to the official party, aud was elected by a very naiTOI majority. The people, it was said, were sadly disappointed at the result, hut order and quiet were maintained. The leading papers of Uruguay deplored the election of Senor 1 lord a. and declared that it marked a reaction in tin- country s progress. Later President ltonla issued a proclamation to the effect that his administration would conduct the business of the state in the interest ..f the h nation aud that he would invite the assistance of all political parties to that end. This pro. ..imat ion made a eery favorable itnprcssi, .n. An attempt was made to assassinate tlie president on the afternoon of April 31 last. An unknown man met President Iiorda on the street and shot at him. The president escaped with out injury, and the criminal was captured. The assassination of the president occurred just as he was leaving the cathedral where a te ileum had U-eu sung. The assassin w as arrested.
