AMERICANS PROTECTED.
Guatemala City-Adyices to the United
States Suppressed.
DENOUNCED IN STRONG TERMS.

Special to the Gazette.
Ell PAso, TEX. Aug. 8.-Senor Jose
Bonilla, the member of that family who
conducts their tie egTaphic agency in this
city and JuaIez, denounces Minister
Cruise and Consul Baiz in strong terms
for their accusations published in the
New York Star. He says he transmitted
message from Guatemala to Mr..
Blaine on August 6. The cable is stopped
at Salvador, which explains the Impossi-
bility of getting replies to Washington
cablegrams.
LETTERS AND TELEGRAMs SUPPRESSED.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. S.-Dr:
William G Mizener, son of United States
Minister Mizener to Central America,
who is here is in receipt of late letters
from his father. Or. Mizener says in
the last letter received ''Iny father states
that q number of American citizens had
taken refuge at the United States lega-
ton in Guatemala City. There are not
over twenty-five or thirty Americans
there. and the legation is in Il position to
take care of them all. All of the Ameri-
caus in Central America have been M
yired to stay Mt the legation during the
troubles. Supplies were obtained before
war was declared, and the stock neces-
sary for long siege was obtained. Pres
ident BarriIlas inspects every telegram
that leaves the country, and most of the
letters leaving the country are also eX-
amined. If Secretary Blaine has not
received Official news from my father it
is because President Barrillas suppressed
his kilograms. Several native citizens
of Guatemala, some of them ladies, have
taken out United States naturalization
in 70 nTOtpntiOn
of the legation. BarriOs, who sailed
from here on the steamer San jose for
Guatemala, is very popular there, aud
should Barrillas retire Barrios is certain
to be the next president.
MINER WILL EXPLAIN HIS SILENCE.
New ORLEANS, La, Aug. 9.-A spe-
caI to the Picayune from the City of
Mexico says the expected dispatches will
come from Miner, American minister
to Guatemala to-day. 1t is understood
he left Guatemala on the United States
man -of-war Ranger for Salvador, where
he can communicate with Washington
by cable. He will probably land at
Acayutta. The true inwardness of the
reasons for the non-receipt of the dis
patches from Miner will probably then
be explained. Mexican papers are very
bitter against Miner, and say he has
shown undue Partially all along to
Guatemala. SvmpathIes here are all with
Salvador. The fact is either Miner
would not answer the kilograms from
Washington or else the Guatemalan
government has deliberately suppressed
or detained them.
Geronimo Pou. confidential agent of
Salvador has dispatched confirming the
news of the defeat of Miranda and
Figuera by Ezeta. These two generals
were traitors.

THE rumor at Washington TO the effect
that the president is interesting himself
in compromise between the house and
senate by which the house-that is, Reed
agrees to the Aldrich reciprocity amend
ment to the Mckinley bill, provided the
senate will pass the Lodge force bill, may
or may not be well founded as to the
president. But there is very serious
doubt as to Blaine being party to such
a bargain. He certainly is not, if he be
as strongly opposed to force bill as they
say he is. Besides, is it to his political
tually leaye Reed firmly entrenched as q
party leader?

road or member OF the pool 'aecoroing TO
the pool system The opposition Of
the Galveston News to the efforts Of
Attorney General Hogg to break up the
pool was not a consideration of the pools
contract with the News; neither was the
opposition of the News to the commission
bill Of 1889.
There was no bribery of the News by
the pool-let this be conceded by the Bit
terest enemies of the News, for 1t Is
simple justice, and the evidence does not
warrant such charge.
But this, also, must be said: When
the Texas pool, having no advertising as
pool to dispense, contracted with the
News for $50 much advertising space at
so many dollars per annum' it was un-
avoidable that the popular Judgment
would construe the editorial utterances
of the paper concerning the POOLS ex-
istence and railroad commission to be
consideration of the very handsome
advertising contract TO which the pool
compelled all its members TO contribute.
This popular construction was unjust to
the News, but it was natural and I'M
avoidable. The News had contract
with the pool that was O "good thing, -
"pick-up, SO to speak, that gave
that newspaper tremendous advantage
over all rivals, but for all that it was
bad management to deal with the pool
for advertising the several roads COM
the risk of misconstruction, which has
now befallen the News. 1t is because
THE GAZETTE knows the disposition of
the public to misconstrue that this
paper insists there was no bribery, but
there was very poor judgment dis
played IN this deal both by the pool and
the News, since the public knowledge OF
such contract was sure to result In
representation of the News and in
added hostility to the roads; and now
men who do not believe the News guilty
of being bribed will believe that it was
very human in the News to defend the
existence of the pool, inasmuch as the
pool was liberal advertiser with the
News.
THE GAZETTE repeats that it has seen
no evidence convicting the News OF the
charge Of bribery, but it has seen much
in the evidence, as compiled by the News
itself, that should teach that paper here
after to be more regardful of public
opinion, upon which newspaper influence
Is based, and to teach all newspapers
that dealing with organized class inter-
ests is sure to result in misconstruction
and Misrepresentation. Whatever of
advertising patronage railroads may
hereafter deem profitable to dispense
should be contracted by each road sep
arately through Its own officials, for if 1t
is given to any one, or any number o.
newspapers, through combination or
pool, it is sure to be construed as
bride.
1t is not shown by the testimony that
the News was guilty of being bribed,
and that journal is just as much entitled
to credit for honesty in opposing COM
mission as any paper is for advocating
commission; but the News was guilty of
mighty poor judgment and management
in making a deal for advertising with
an organized class interest at time
when that interest supposed itself to be
threatened and at a time when the News
WINS defending that interest.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Mr. Call Of
fered resolution, which was agreed to I,
instructing the committee on foreign re-
Iations to inquire and report such meas
ures as may be necessary for the pro-
lection of citizens of the United States
who were formerly residents of Cuba
and subjects of Spain against prosecu-

Grant, to and Interment In the Airing
ton National cemetery, and requesting
the president to convey to the widow OF
that eminent man such desire, rendering
to her on behalf of the nation all neces-
ssry facilities for such removal and IN
terment, was taken up and agreed to.
The conference report on the fortifica-

the irrigation items, which had been
postponed.
The tariff bill was then taken up.
A joint resolution was passed to accept

OKLAHOMA DEMOCRATIC.

The election in Oklahoma established
the fact that the territory is safely DEM
ocratic, no matter what the immediate
result. The complexion of the legislature
is very much in doubt, and seems to be
evenly divided between the Democrats
and Republicans, with two or three
Alliance men holding the balance Oh
power. The city and county of Guthrie
went Republican by majority of 800,
thanks to the negro vote, and the de-
lection of the Alliance which was most
hurtful to the Democrats. 1t may be
that the Democratic delegate at large
was elected. At least there Is reason for
hoping SO. But it Is especially unfortu-
nate that a weak and futile effort ut es-
tablishing third party by the farmers
should have interviewed to give the Re-
publicans an apparent advantage or
O pretext for shouting "victorY" at the
close of the first election held in the ter
ritory. The Democrats are in major
ity. That is undoubted. and had their
victory been decisive, as it should and
would have been under normal condl-
tions, the result would be hailed as q
singing rebuke to the administration
that has had so much to do during the
past year and half with supervising its
affairs and making rotten appointments
of Federal officials In the interest of
the g. o. D.

In RESPONSE to the humble petition of

of Nebraska-prepared in the name OF
the tax-ridden farmer, begging that the
tariff monopoly defenders allow the
merely nominal reduction of lilo OF a
cent per pound of the tariff on structural
iron, the monopoly defenders aforesaid /.
graciously consented TO the measl :
reduction. Paddock may now go home
and make the most of the beggarly trifle
among his poor deluded followers, as of
course he will do.

VOLUNTARY bankruptcy is ali right.
but involuntary bankruptcy is not. The
man who is willing to give up his prop
erty for the benefit of his creditors, and
be adjudged a bankrupt, should be per-
mitred TO do SO; but no law should enable
creditor to throw an unwilling debtor
into bankruptcy court and destroy his
credit and his prospects. because he
failed to pay debt for sixty days after a
written demand had been made on him.
That is what the Torrey bankrupt bill
provides for, and that is one reason, and
rsason enough why the senate should re-
iect it.

TT WAS NOT BRIBERY.

From all the evidence offered THE GA
zETTE can see nothing that justifies the
charge of bribery in connection with the
deal made by the Texas pool with the
Galveston News. Nowhere does 1t appear
that the pool proposed that any portion
of its lavish advertising patronage of the
News was specified to be consideration
for any editorial utterance of that paper
The testimony shows that the contract
between the Texas pool and the Calves
ton News was based upon ESQ much ad-
vertislng space for so many dollars per
annum,' and that "the News had no
information OF the basis for these con-
tracts according to the pool system. -

vertising space at so many dollars per

HOAR'S SUBSTITUTE

Grandma Hoar has rather unex pected-
ly reported substitute for the Lodge
election bill in the senate. The old lady
is HI bent on invading the South with
even a modified form of diabolism. The
main point of difference between his
scheme and the Lodge beauty, is that it
Is less voluminous by seventeen pages.
1t does away with some of the ornamen-
tations that embellished the house bant-
ling, and makes its appearance in a
PLAIN summer suit. There is no other
very marked alteration, except as to the
removal of the clause In the Lodge bill
providing for the presence of federal
troops at the polls, and of that other
precious provision calling for domioiliary
visits. Supervisors may be chosen by the
circuit Judges without reference to their
habitation or home, and they, backed by
an armed horde of deputies and mar
shals, will have full control of the cleo
ton machinery. The alterations in the
bill are merely suco as it Is hoped with
considerable pressure from the admin
istration, will enable squeamish senators
to overcome natural repugnancy to the
atrocity, and finally vote for 1t
The fact that the substitute was re-
ported so soon, and when no one was
looking for it, coupled with the post
ponemeut for a week OF consideration OF
the river and harbor bill, indicates an
apparent purpose to bring up the substi-
tute for consideration at once IL possible.
If this is so, important measures such as
the tariff bill and the river and harbor
bill are to be RELOCATED to back seat in
order that the grave and reverend sena-
tors under the marshalship of the malig-
nant Hoar may discuss this contemplate
political abomInation from day to day,
and give the fire-eaters an opportunity
to wave the ensanguined garment and
rend their linen in public. These are

It Is pretty generally conceded that
during his recent visit at Cape May, Mr..
Blaine won the president s consent to his
reciprocity scheme. The wonder about
it is that Benny would agree to play
second fiddle to the man from Maine.
