A revolution has broken out against the Government, of which General Barrellas is President, and during the riot the mob shouted “ Death of Barrellas 1” General Betas, who commanded the insurgents, and the leaders of the revolt have been imprisoned. A stage of siege has been proclaimed and troops are parading the streets. There is much discontent among the soldiers, owing to their being underpaid, and it is feare'd they may join the insurgents. It is stated that the troops of San Salvador are within 60 miles of Guatemala, the capital, and a battle is imminent. At the battle of Ohingo the Guatemala lost 600 men and San Salvador 90. Honduras, fearing a domestic revolt, is afraid to join Guatemala. San Salvador again defeated the latter at Japita, and the San Salvador troops have proved too much for Guatemalans.
