dress will be Demanded of Guatemala
CITY OF MEXICO, April 16.-If Mexico
becomes the arbiter between Guatemala
and the other Central American States
the ENJOYS will probably be sent to this
city to make the arrangement. Mexico
will insist upon recognition of her own
claims against Guatemala. These claims
date from 1899. Few persons in Mexico
or foreign countries understand their ex-
act nature.
In 1899 Gen. Guzman. with zoo men. in
vaded Mexico, marching to Comitan, in
the State of Chiapas. Minor disturbances
followed for eighteen Years. From 1857
to 1864 the border warfare became more
violent. The town of Tapachula was
burned, and COmitan was DESTROYED three
times sy fire, as was also the State capi-
tOl at san CristObal, which 10 still in
ruins. In 1869 Gen. Barrios seized a
Mexican in Malacatan, and forced him by
torture to deliver his money and goods.
In 1870 Gen. BarriOs assassinated a Mexf-
can in ROdes and burned his house. In
1910 Guatemalan officer led a body of
troops into Mexico, where the Guatemalan
flag was hOisted and saluted with salvo
of musketry. In 1879 a Guatemalan AL
calde burned a ranch on Mexican terri
tory.
In 1850 Gen. Barillas, now President of
Guatemala, but who was then Mayor of
Quesaltenango, condemned a Mexican to
receive fifty lashes. The Mexican pro-
duced his certificate of citizenship.
claiming its protection. Barillas seized
the certificate, tore il to pieces, and threw
II in the McNican's face. He then ordered
the man TO be given fifty more lashes for
beng Mexican. In the same year the
town of TuXtl0 was captured and burned
by Guatemalan troops. Other outrages
were perpetrated in 1854. Mexican com
mercial interests in Guatemala have been
wilfully intertered with. In one instance
a Mexican house bought large quantity
Of coffee IN Guatemala, on which the ex-
port duty was quintupled by a special
order OF the government. so that the coffee

CLEvELAND,s RECEPTIONS.
People Who Call on the President
Whether He Wants Them or Not.

From the PhilIdelDbid Ne1Cs.
WASHINGTON, April 14-General sur
prise is felt at the renewal of the Presi-
dents daily receptions. 1t only shows
the mans good nature, and his faculty
for choosing the shortest way out of a
dilemma. A correspondent went up to
the White House yesterday curious to
see how the new order that the receptions
would be given up would be taken by the
visitors. One O'Clock came. AS usual,
there was a big crowd in the east parlor.
There were all sorts and descriptions of
people, residents and r0ustabouts from
X street, Kansas and Kalamazoo.
The dOOrkeeper came and stood in the
doorway and smiled, and said the Presi-
dent held no reception today. Nobody
stirred. Several more people came in
and stared around. The doOrkeeper init
mated that the hour was at hand for clos
ing the White House.
Everybody looked at him reprOachfully,
and then gazed blankly at the ceiling. He
