BARRIOS IS HUMBLED.

Guatemalan President Sues Morales for Peace. A private cipher cable dispatch received in San Francisco from Guatemala, when deciphered, reads that the revolutionists have Barrias cornered ahd that the general has been trying to compromise with Morales. He has sent word to the insurgent leader that he is ready to sue for peace. The proper construction to put on the message is that Barrios has probably been compelled to accept terms of surrender from Morales. The members of the Central American colony in New York are horror stricken over the news of the shooting of promi-

nent people on Barrios’ orders. They say that if Barrios is bold and cruel enough to cause the murder of so eminent a man as Aparicio he will not hesitate to carry out wholesale slaughter among the people who oppose him, and the Guatemalans in this vicinity have the greatest fear for the safety of their families and friends at home.

PRESIDENT MANUEL L. BARRIOS.
