RICH AND RACY.
Testimony Taken in the Famous Dunlo
Divorce Case.

Testimony Taken in the Famous Dunlo
Divorce Case.
LONDON. July 26.-In continuance of the
divorce case of DunlO agt DunlO yesterday
Detective Clark further testified, giving 1t
as his impression that Mr.. Wertnelmer
kissed Lady DunlO once when skylarking
near a window in that lady'S house. Clark
admitted. however. that he did not really
see the kiss, nor did he hear 1t, but he de-
tected giggling, which he construed TO
mean that kiss had preceded 1t. Judge
Hanuen indicated considerable annoyance
nj the fiimsy character of this evidence
and INDUCED in bit OF sarcasm AT the eN-
pense of counsel for the prosecution. II
was then proven that Wertheimer visited
Lady Dunlo in her apartments on Hanover
square and elsewhere, but no evidence was
produced 10 show that ne ever remained in
them over night. On the contrary, several
landladies appeared who testified TO Lady
Dunlo's perfect propriety while an inmate
of their houses.
Another witness was Alexander Lums-
den, the dramatic agent who obtained an
engagement for Lady DunlO and her sister
in Manchester at $40 weekly. Lumsden
swore that Wertheimer kissed Lady Dunlo
fonr or five times in his presence, and when
playing on the piano together he had IRE
Quently seen her rest her head on Vert
nelInef 5 SuOQluef, Wulle upon OuC OCCdSLOu
in St Johns Wood he had seen the Lady
raising her cheek for her companion to
kiss. while al the same time they were
both smoking cigarettes and drinking cham
pagne When Mr.. Lumsden got into the
hands of Lady Dunlo's attorney II was
speedily discovered that his loquacity
and excellent memory were sharpened
by the fact that he had never been
paid a percentage on the Manchester en-
gagement contract and so. as he expressed
/ il. he felt justified in giving his evidence
against the lady. He admitted having told
Wertheimer he had been treated badly, but
denied saying he could get pony from
/ Lewis. attorney Of Lord Clancarty, for
swearing that he had seen Wertheimer in
| Lady DunlO's bedroom.
/ The last witness to-day was Chas. Num-,
/ formerly Wertheimer's coachman. who test
| itied to having driven his master and Lady
/ Dunlo in a cab, and during the drive he no
ticed that his passengers were locked IN
each others arms. This witness concluded
his testimony with the appreciative remark
that he saw no harm in that, and would
have done the same thing himself if he had
euiOved an opportunity.

Los ANGELES, CAL, July 26.-Two
brothers, Louis and Philip Andeget, ma
tives of France, arrived in this city yester-
day afternoon from Newhall and were
taken TO the county hospital. Louis had
three bullets in his head, and Philip had
one The wounds are the result of re-
markable attempt at double suicide. Philip
is in no danger, but Louis has small chances
of recovery. The brothers were found
on the ground under tree in little canyon
near Newhall on Thursday night, both
wounded and apparently dying. They
went TO Newhall few months ago. and
took quarter section of land. A few days
ago fire broke out in the
brush on their place, and they
started another fire in order to
save their own house from being destroyed
by the first one. Instead of doing this,
both fires spread rapidly and extended to
the adjoining property. Seeing this the
brothers became greatly alarmed, as they
believed they would be arrested and i'm
prisoned for long term of years. They
accordingly determined to save themselves
from this disgrace by committing suicide.
They went to the spot where they were
afterwards found Philip took the pistol
first. placed the muzzle to his ear and
fired. He fell over on the ground, and
Louis thinking his brother was dead, then
| fired three bullets into his own head. They
lay from Wednesday morning until they
were discovered Thursday night. Both
men are well educated, and say they have
served in the French army.

GUATEMALA SAUCY.
a Very Tart Reply Made to the Demands
of Mexico.

CRY OF MEXICO, July 26.-Guatemala's
answer TO Mexicos note to Secretary Ma
riscal has been received here by telegraph
from Guatemala Minister Dienguez, of
Guatemala, in this city, informed Mexico
that Guatemala did not think that Mexico
had any right at all to interfere in Central
American politics. Guatemala intended
to hold San Salvador TO its pledges given
with regard to the Central American
Union pact as passed by the San Salvador
Legislature in February last; but as Gen.
Ezeta, San Salvadors Provisional Presi-
dent. had refused TO be guided by any such
legislation, and had usurped the rights of
the Constitutional Government of San Sal
vador, it became the duty of Guatemala TO
step in and interfere as one of the nations
party TO the proposed Central American
Union.
General Ezeta had completely disregard
ed Guatemalas friendly overtures, and the
latter was determined that uthe constltu-
tional rights of San Salvador should be
maintained. San Salvador had refused
peaceable measures, and force would now
have to be applied. 1t was no longer a
question of a quarrel for national Suprem-
acy in regard to San SalvadOrs govern
ment, but the national honor of Guatemala
was involved, owing TO the latter being the
prime factor in the Central American
Union and the promoter of the scheme.
San Salvador had outraged Guatemalan
honor and the stain had TO be wiped out.
As all other means had failed, there was no
other alternative for Guatemala but to de-
clare war against San Salvador, which
President Barillas had just done.
AS to any assistance that Mexico might
afford San Salvador, Mexico should recOl-
lect that any hostile step taken against any
Central American Republic would be
viewed with disfavor by the United States
as it was in 1885. a special council of the
Mexican Cabinet has been called, at which
the trouble in Central America is 10 be dis
cussed, and it will then be officially decid-
ed what action Mexico Will take in the
matter.

Cooper Presents His Charges Against the
Commissioner.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 25.-In its re-
mort upon the resolution providing for an
investigation of the administration of the
Pension Bureau, the Committee on Rules
saws that the delay in reporting was occa-
stoned by the absence of its author, Mr.
Cooper, of Indiana, whose statement was
necessary before action could be had. Up
on his return, Mr.. Cooper appeared before
the committee and presented copy of a
letter of Geo. f. Lemon, to Commissioner
Raum, with an endorsement of Deputy
Commissioner Lincoln: please examine
and report your views G.. B. RI Also a
copy of letter to Lincoln from Raum en-
dorsed, approved. G.. B. r."
Mr.. Cooper stated to the committee
that after this letter Raum nego-
tiated in banks in Washington loan of
So, 900 upon which Geo. K. Lemon became
surety, and that at the time Raum was in
solvent, and no prudent man would become
his security for like sum without some
qltid pro quo Mr.. Cooper also stated that
the Commissioner made substantial COM
pliance with Lemons request. Mr.. Cooper
claimed that the rulings made in compli-
ance with this request were unjust and un-
fair to practitioners other than Lemon, and
asserted that the bureau had been engaged
for long time almost exclusively in the
consideration and advancement of Lemons
cases.
