CENTRAL AMERICA.
Probability that Minister Miner Will be
Recalled.

CITY OF MEXICO, September 9Th "A
message was received here to day from
Acapulco, Mexico stating that the Pacific
Mail steamship San Bias, which left Pan
anna on August 21st. had arrived at that
port, having on board one Cunningham,
an American or Englishman, who was on
his way to the United States for the pur-
pose OF influencing the press in favor of
Guatemala, concerning the Bsrrundia kill
ing The telegram winds up by saying:
advise Geronimo Pou to be on his guard,
as / have reason to believe Cunningham
has sent him dispatch for some sinister
purpose and is an emissary of Barillas."
Pou was seen at his rooms tonight. He
produced this dispatch from Acapulco, ad.
dressed: II. Geronimo Pou, Minister of
Salvador: / warn you, for the good of Sal
vador, not to interfere in the Barrundia
killing. Ifyou think this important, tele-
graph me at San Francisco. / would not
allow you to interfere. Cunningham"
Senor Pou, after reading the message,
said:
"As you know, have never expressed
nv opinion in regard to the Barrundia
affair, as it is not my sphere to take up the
fight of the United States, in whose hands
the killing of Barrundia now rests. The
officiousness of Cunningham, whom l have
never met, is unparalleled. As you will
observe, he says. i would not allow you to
interfere Evidently hsmust be modern
Atlas, on whose shoulders the whole re-
sponsibility of the killing of Barrundia
rests. he is particularly bold at long
range, but l consider him and his advice
perfectly harmless"
One of the Acapulco's American passen-
gers. who speaks Spanish and was ashore
at San Jose de Guatemala. says that he had
several conversations while in San Jose
with prominent Guatemalars from the city
Of Guatemala, and they all expressed fear
that the United States would demand re-
dress fol the killing of Barrundia.
New YORK, September 5th.-James A.
Whitney, the great international lawyer,
who quoted the Guatemalan treaty in 1852
to show Mizner had no right to give up
Barrundia, is now shown to have made a
very serious break, as that part of the
treaty quoted by Whitney to sustaip his
opinion has not been in force since 1864.
MINISTER MINER MAY BE RECALLED.
WASHINGTON, September 6th.-It is gen.
orally understood that the course of Minis
ter Miner in regard to the recent hostili.
ties between Guatemala and Salvador has
not proved satisfactory to the State Depart
ment, and his recall very shortly is not i'm
probable. 1t is believed that be used the
weight of influence of the United States
too much in the interest OF Guatemala
The killing of General Barrundia will also
be Investigated. If it appears that Miner
advised the Guatemalan Government that
it possessed the light to seize General Bar
rundia upon the vessel, or if he advised the
master of the vessel TO give up the General,
be exceeded his authority. 1t is stated
that the Minister should have done no
more than inform the master of the ship as
to the principles of international law gov
erning the case, and then allowed him to
use his own judgment as to the course to
pursue.

opened to- night by street parade and an
open-air concert, and display of fireworks
at Union square. The Native Sons of the
various local psrlors, Veteran Fremen, the
Committee OF Arrangements of the Admis-
sion Day celebration. and number OF
bands of music took part in the procession.
Great crowds of people were on the streets
all along the line OF march, and much en-
thusissm was manifested.
The crowds OF people who witnessed the
parade have seldom been equaled in this
city, and on Market, Montgomery and
Kearny streets and in the vicinity of Union
Square the crowds were particularly dense.
A platoon of police headed the procession
and had considerable difficulty in clearing
the streets sufficiently to allow the lines to
pa9s.
Almost every window along the line of
march seemed 10 be occupied. The illum-
nations were very brilliant, and the whole
affair passed of in way which indicated
successful celebration during the coming
week.

mature blast killed fifteen men, and posi-
bly, many more, in the Northern Pacific
yard. The full extent of the disaster is yet
unknown. 1t wss just before the hour of
quitting work. A large force of men were
engaged in blasting out huge rock pile in
the Northern Pacific freight yards in the
eastern part of the city. From fifty to
seventy-five men were at work in the cut
at the time. Fifteen have been taken out
dead and number of injured, and still
others came out alive. Ali is confusion,
and it is impossible yet to give names or
particulars.
Some of the workmen were preparing
blasts to be touched off after the other
workmen and teams had departed for the
night. One blast had been prepared. In
putting in the second it was exploded, the
jar also touching off the first blast. Twenty.
five thousand cubic feet of rock was
thrown over upon the mass of humanity
with terrible results. Hundreds of people
soon gathered at the scene, and the work
of taking out the dead and injured has
since been going on. The scenes at the

A DARING FEAT.
A Man Walks the Cable Across Niagara
Falls,

Falls.
NIAGARA FALLS (0nt.), September 6th.-
A. ]. Dixon walked across the Niagara
gorge on a rope this afternoon in l2l min
utes. On his way across he stuck one leg
out at the quarter and three-quarter dis
tances, and laid down on his back in the
center of the cable.
After resting few minutes on the
American side, Dixon returned to the wire
with hoop ON his ankles and walked out
to where the stars and stripes hoated
in the breeze, $50 feet from the cliff,
and went through several maneuvers, wind
ing the flag about his shoulders. Then he
went on to the Canadian side, stopping TO
perform the same feats with the Union
Jack, as he had with the American flag.
Dixon is of Irish descent, and was born
in New York, but for several years has re-
sided in Toronto. He had no motive in
making the perilous trip other than that
when crossing the suspension bridge a
short time ego he noticed the cable, and re-
marked that he could walk across it. The
result was to days performance. He did
considerable rope walking in his youth,
and has precliced up in Toronto for several
