The citizens generally desire the downfall of the Government. The insurgents have captured the barracks and arsenal. Saturday's conflict was adverse to the Government, and more troops have joined the rebels. The revolution has now spread to the provinces. The authorities are negotiating with the navy for assistance. The latter was understood to be neutral, but there is reason to believe that the sailors favor the insurgents. It is computed that 1000 persons were killed and wounded in the outbreak. A truce for 24 hours has been arranged. Rome, July 24. In view of serious outbreak at Buenos Ayres several warships have been ordered to proceed to that city and watch over Italian interests. Guatemala, July 28.
