Associated Press. DR.. William G..
Miner. son of the United States Min
ister to Central America. who is now

from his father. DR.. Miner says: "In
the last letter received my father

zens had taken refuge at the United
States Legation in Guatemala City.
There are not over twenty-five or
thirty Americans there, and the lega-
ton is in a position to take care of them
all. All of the Americans in Central
America have been invited and urged
to stay at the legation during the
troubles. Supplies were obtained be-
fore war was declared, and a stock
necessary for long siege was secured.
President Barillas inspects every
telegram that leaves the country"
said DR.. Miner. whether it is written
in cipher or not, and most of the let
ters leaving the country are also ex-
amined. II Secretary Blaine has not
received official news from my father,
it is because Barillas suppressed his
telegrams. When 1 was there Bar
illas opened kilograms and letters
with the greatest freedom, and it was
generally understood he would sup
press all information for the outside
world If war was declared.

new line of Chicago and Boston sleep

EATING ITS WORDS.

A Chicago Papers Apology to Rus
sell Harrison.
CHICAGO, Aug.S.-[By the Associated
Press. The Chicago Herald makes
the following apology to Russell Har-
rison in its editorial columns today.
Several weeks ago the Herald re-
ceived from source that it had reason
to believe was entirely trustworthy, .
letter devoted to the gossipy consider
alton of the ladies of the White House
and Mrs. Russell Harrison. After tho
publication of this article it was, dis
covered that it had contained an inti-
nation that Russell Harrison had not
treated his wife as he should have
done and there was good reason for
unpleasantness between the couple
and unhappiness on her part. The
Herald is informed and believes that
the statements in this article are with.
out foundation and untrue, and it re-
grets that they gained publicity
through these columns. 1t has never
been the policy of this journal to in
volve women in political antagOnisms
and the appearance of things to the
contrary in this case was the result of
accident rather than of design.

BUFFALO, IN. J.,) Aug s.---rBy

park today attracted by the announce
ment that Sunol and Belle Hamlin
would attempt to lower the records of
2 10 IL and II IL made by them re-
specrively. After some preliminary
warming :up the judges announced
that the horses would be sent to beat
2 Is. This was for the purpose of
giving Sunol record as a 4-year old,
the best record up to date being 2 16,
Belle Hamlin was sent first, her time
being IA Ia.
The California wonder, Sunol, was
then called up. She passed the quar-
ter in 33a, the half in 1:O5t, the three
quarters in 1884, and the mile in 2,l14,
just three seconds slower than her
California record. Considering the
track, which was seemingly in good
condition and the fact that wind ON
the stretch made difference of full
second, Sunol's performance today
more than equals that which ranked
her next to the Queen of trotters,

and before he could attack the cashier,
covered the robber with shotgun and
ordered him to throw up his hands.

vict, but had a respectable family in
