The revolt was a com plete fiasco. It is calculated that the rebels, who were disporsed, numbered 3,000 iu all. Those who were made prisoners wero taken to the penitentiary to be tried by a judge for their ecrime. Arrests continue to be made. The rovolutionists intend to put for- ward Dr. Thomas Gonesoro for president, Dr. Jose Rawsen Mendosa for miuister of the interior, Colonel Klinger for minister of war and Dr. Duringso Terra for minister of the treasury. The center of tho revolt was the village of Union, four miles east of Montevideo, The light artillery was stationed there under Colonel Martinez. As previously cabled he was considered by the conspirators friendly to their cavse. ‘This belief was encouraged free ingress to uud_cgress from the permitted by the Tho plass of the thus clopod under the of athorities, who W sure of their avility to entrap the robels and suppress the uprising as soon us an emer- geucy arose.

Then it was that Dr. Perez, seeing that himselt and his companics had been entrapped, tried to escape aud was iostantly ' killed. The others saved their lives by surrendering. Meantimo a battalion ‘of the Iourth infantry met the populace near the Natio club at Union and in the street fight which ensucd Captain Arias was killed and thre soldiers were wounded. A well known auc- tioneer and two other citizens were killed and five others wero wounded. The news reached Montevideo at 10:30 just as the _theater were being emptied. ~ All tho cafes were closed forthwith and the streets were patroled by the soldiers and police. Gua boats were kept ruuning up and dow the coast at night to prevent the landing of ex-Dictator La Torre from Buenos Ayres. No further disturbanc vied. Among the rumors afloat the robels had planned to_de- orredictator, but La Torre from Buenos Ayres sends a denial of any partic pation in the uprising. As I also cabled you, it had beon arranged to assassinate Dr. J. Herrarara Y Obees, the president, by twenty Sicilians under the _leadership of tue Italian who murdered Dr. Rueder. President Obes, however, was aware of the murderous plot. ' He passed_the night at Cabildo with his cabinet and General Maraino Tajes, his predecessor in the presidency and now in control of the army. The movement lacked popularity either in this city or in the country, and so littlo importance was at tached to it that business was uninterrupted. vor BOLD WORDS FEOM HEALY.

Cucaco, I, Octy 15.—“If [ can’t keep faith with the newspaers of this country, whose representative | am, aud the exposi tion company as well, 1 will step down and out,” said Moses P.

[ tnis 1s the spirit of the enterprise then Ium out of place,” " Major Handy was speaking in reference to the newspaper reports that seyeral members of tho local directory wera dissatisfied with the way in which the department of pub lieity and promotion was conducted and werd going to attempt to have tho depart- ment abolished. ““There has been no complaint filed against my department and I have no idea there will be,” said the major. “Some weeks ago the directory desired an investigating committee 10 look ‘over the work of eacn department and then make a veport. I was glad of this because it gave me an opportunity of show- ing what my deparcment was accomplishing, When I came to Chicago to tako hold of the work every divector impressed upon mo the importance of booming the fair in tho news papers and advertising it in every way pos sible. I flatter myself thut no exposition has ever been beuter attended to in this regard, and L moan to have the press taken of during the exposition. Iinally, some of the men who wero most eager to scatter the news broadcast at the start, thought that the newspapers were finding out too much and wanted the fair run with closea doors. I am not here to suppress things, and if the fair snould be van on the star chamber plau I am out of my place.”” ‘According 1o Président Palmer the board of control will take no action looking toward the abolition of the department. Only one man on thie local directory was disposed to abolish Major Handy's depart- ment, He has been informed that the na- tional bourd thinks the department should continue, “Tne board of control met sidered the diractor zeneral’s report on the expenses, aepartment’s ete.
