NAVAL MUTINY.
Received April 9, 8.5 a.m. VANCOUVER, April 7. A message from Guayaguil states that Ecuador’s navy of two gunboats mutinied to-day to prevent the homecoming of General Leonidas Plazas Guiterrez, twice President, who was exiled in 1925. At the same time a group of rebels seized Fort Punta Piedran. The disturbance assumed an international complexion when a party of insurrectionists captured the oiltanker Buaro, the property of a British company. •All activities, however, failed to prevent General Guiterrez landing.
