VOL. X. BARRIOS IN DANGER. STATEMENT OF HIS UNPOPULARITY BY EX-PRESIDENT SOTO. Movement on Foot to Overthrow the Gov- ernment of Hondurw ami Form an Alliance Only a Matter of Time. Sketch of Barrion' Life. p ™ p jrSTO RVFINO HAHRIO.% Washington, March at —-Information has ; been revive-! here tu the eitrt that a move- ’ meiit is on foot to overthrow the govemino-Jt , of Honduras, and to form an alliance of he ■ poop eof that country with the people of j Nicaragua, Costa Rica and San Salvador a r aiiiNt Geu Barrio*. Th* movement, it is ; reported, originated with Marco Au; «> Soto, former president of Honduras, n >v. in I New York City. Since Barrios* announce- , meat of his intention to make himself I preine military chief of Central American i States,” Soto is said to have been qui- t!v at j work trying to break th*? alliance of Hondu ras with Guatemala. His negotiations have been carried on though a general of die former country with n horn he has intimate arquaintanw. The people of Honduras, it is understood, are opposed to Barrios and are only waiting for an opportunity to break away from him. They are, therefore, will ing to join the forces of Nicaragua in an at tempt to overthrow their own present gov eminent The Nicaraguan forces, it is as aert<*d, will number 5,900 or m ire, and will cross the border line of Honduras and aid in the revolution, with the addition of oppv n nLs of Barrios in Honduras. It is said an army of 50,000 can Im* rais'd by the states which are allied Gi resistance to the preten tions of the president of ( intern.da. Njew York, .’far •?> IH - -Rx-Preaideiit Mar co Aurelio S«»to, of the republic of Honduras, lives in an elegant home at No. 8 Ka t Eighty-fourth street, this city. He is still young, having be *n min st *r of foreign af fairs of Guatemala at twenty-five and pr< dent of Honduras at tw? nt) -eight years oi age. Apparently, ho is pot over forty now, and his only dbsife, outside of L S own large and interesting family, <*ms to lie in'the a I vancement of the happiness and civiliza tion of his naive countrymen. When shown in a Washington di.spn. i the allegation that he was engaged in a in.»v -ment to overthrow tin* government of Honduras, and to for.n an alliance of the (teople of that conn ry w th Nicaragua, Costa Rica and San Htlva <doi against Gen. Barrios, Mr. Soto said: “No, it is not true that I am in any way connected with the revolution which General Bar . Oib has instituted in < entral Am rica. Now York is rattier a distil point f rom which to c.,qducta m v«yn.*ntof that kind in Can i rai A mwien. I r ceivud teieerain* from my friends, however, who, knowing my sympathies with the people of my native land, have asked me to go then* and assist them. It is impossible to say now what I will do. lam waiting for fuller advices by mad, and it will depend upon them whether Igo or s‘ay. There are enough inaccuracies in the dispatch you have shown me to war rant something of a statement of the case from myself. “Gen. Barrios, as you know, has issued a decree declaring himself as head of the United Republiea. but Na-aragua, Gtx-ta Rica and San Salvador have declared against the decree, and drawn up an alliance to op pose him The only government which has accepted it is Honduras, but the feeling of tin* jjeople, even there, is against him; their heart is with their sister republics. His strength with the government of that re public rests in his influence over Gen. Lewis Bogran.’ “Will Gen. Barrios’ revolution be a suc cess ? “No; he will ruin Guatemala in his foolish •enterprise, and probable finish up by being .overthrown himself. He is said to have an army of fifteen or twenty thomand, but San Salvador, of which Dr. Zaldivar is president, can raise that many men itself. Ultimately the countries of Central America will un doubtedly be united, but it cannot be done by the sword, and General Barrios win dis cover when it is too late bow great a mistake be has made. ” “Do you to take the field, if you go to Central Aniwfcar “I can not say; of course, it is my own country, and I feel vary warmly towa d the i people who are suffering for the sake of the j ambition of this one soldier, Barrios was i never a popular man, however, even with ■ the army. He aided Gen. Garcia Granados , to overthrow the conservative government i in Guatemala m 4871, and this has been t remembered against him ever since.” “Is it true that you were chosen president I of Honduras through the influence of Bar- ■ rio«?” “No; I was minister of foreign affairs at ' the age of twenty-five, before Barrios came . to the presidency of Guatemala, and when he was elected he confirmed my nomination. There was at that time a request from the people of Honduras, where I had t>een educated, asking me to go back there and assume control of the government. At the joint request of the govenunents of the other republics, all of whom had confidence in my ability to preserve the general pu-iou a.m-jg t’.ein, I accepted this office. That was all Barrois had to do with it. Os course I am anxious to see these young republicans assisted, and I believe that the government of the United States has au equal interest in defending her weaker sisters against the ambition of the present usurper. “Barrios’ scheme is not new. The five re publics were subject to Spain until about sixty years ago, when they established an independent confederacy, which was dissolved in 1839. Other unions, more or less intimate, were afterward formed, «>nl • to be broken in turn, and no further back than 1875 negotia tions were fruitlessly conducted to accom plish what Earrio« is now attempting bw force of arms. His violent policy can obvi ously lead only to waste and bi odshed, for the other republics are diligently preparing to resist the Guatemalan invasion, and it is not at all likely that Mexico will sit quietly by and permit such carryings on among her ! next door neighbors. “The wife of Barrios is said to be th« Saito afi SsSfeg ©tines i i soinest wuuiiiu m Central Amt‘ri<«<v Ho * .:nras h • vv>'U the presidency, by storm a U • cge.

The Old Warrior Will Soon Tent on the Fields of Eternity —Preparing; for Death Further Noiuinut tons to the Senate —The Newa. New York, March 81.—Gt*n. Grant's con dition is quite critical. He is failing rapidly, tuid in the opinion of Dr Douglass and the ex president’s nurse, he may not live more than twenty-four hours. The sudden change fdr the Worse in Gon. Graut's condition was « very wertous matter, and Dr. Douglass and Dr. Shradv, who ar -1 rived at the house, djd not leave it again . until 4 o’clock in the afternoon. It was said > that Gen.

Grant was quite easy 1 when ho was \ctuigoil Hie Wishes of Gen. one, ( i i least, of his physicians will remain with' L, 11 throughout the mgiit until there is a de | < ified change lor the better or the end comes. (’in iiderable the anxiety regard in.-; (ten . ~ *|.l Grant by soifie of-his relatives apd ln|i j lilhie friends relates to hi,? .-.piritu D pr'pnrn- IG m for death. The daily presence in the |h<ii ? *ld of the R“v. Dr. Newman, and his long standing iulimacy with the i ntiont, is ' construed a* placing him in the posili-.»n of a | missionary devoted to the sjM'i-iai purpose of i converting his friend. Being asked fora I statement oi General Gram 's exact religious ! -on htiwn, Dr. Newman replied; “I know that the family fully appreciate the kindly attentions of the press ton iiing the character and condit ions of the ■ neraj, ' and what, you propose t«> ,write would be iteful to them; But I am inclined to think, h them, thai the time has not come tor s'ich an article. A reasbuable Interpretation oi iliat, would be that Gun. Grant has imtydi 1 e n stirred from his position of trust ing *to ■ ; i• go ilness of God for his future, withoui trying to form explicit, doctrines, or to excite IcHiself to any fervor. Family prayers are now held by Dr. New man —a thing never before practiced by th# rams- and he attempts at every s«*eioly oy*-" dortunity, to tm u the conversation ifiio c ligious channels; but it can not bo said Chat Gen. Grant evinces any other sentimmit Witn profound gravity. He talks reailil.v About bis physical plight and the nearness of the end, but is not at. all responsive to the clergy man's labor on behalf of bis soul. The ru in «r that Newman ha«l become a spirit ualist, bas«Mi on a sermon of his in Han Francisco, wherein he declared his Ddief in the ministrations of spirits, has disturbed some of Gen. Gr int’s orthodox frauds, who are then-by l<sl to doubt his soundness for the tank which he seems to have undertaken. Newman himself his utter tack of sympathy with spir itualism. He says that ho is still n good metjiodist, in sj4te of the harshness with which some of thodidders of tiuit dononun ation hnv • tr<- i.lod him sin<-e his tomporary wiihdrawal from ins coufurenuu, when lu accepted the pastorate of the. mdeiHmdent uiinrch .of thu disci pits--an ih which he hail the hearty support of the Grants. Later, —At 12 o?<bM'k, Goner.d Grant, who had been sitting and reclining in an easy chair, was lifted up on the bad, where he is now reclining. Mark Twain, who is in terefete*d in tho firm which is publishing Grant’s book, called at the house and was met at the steps, and told of the genu ral’s condition. He did not enter tho house. During the morning, Mrs. Sartoris and Mrs. Jesse Grant went out tor a drive. Grant’s condition is said to l>e precarious. No one is admitted to the sick room, except the doctors, and members of ■■ the family and body servant. Hundreds of friends who called to tender sympathies were not admit ted, the physicians assorting alwoluto quite ! was imperative. The doctor will not give an opinion, but everything points to the be lief that the general has but a few hours to live. Nominations.
