luton in Guatemala by retired American
officer, now residing in this city, whose
truthfulness is not to be doubted; but for
various good reasons be does not want his
name to appear in connection with the fol-
lowing story. According to the story he
tells. three Americans. supplied with plenty
of money. visited this city about two
months ago. He was introduced to them
through their request. and the Same day an
interview followed. at which he and the
three gentlemen in question were the only
ones present. To him they disclosed the
fact that they represented revolutionary
party in New York that had for
its object the downfall of the
Barillas government in Guatemala and
were backed with funds to carry the move
ment to q successful issue. Their plan of
action, as explained to the retired military
man. was TO send exper. r.enced military Off
GERS into Guatemala, ten or fifteen at
time. They were TO Ue met by emissaries
of the revolutionary movement and dis
tributed throughout the republic, and
mand of the revolutionary troops. COM
mission was offered to the American officer

LITERARY BUREAU "FAKES."

All the Sensational Stories from Guatemala
and Salvador Found to Be Untrue.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Oct l.-Now that tho
Chilian war scare has subsided an effort is
being made by literary bureau in the
City of Mexico to get up sensational ac-
counts of wars in Central America. Yes
terday there was published story emsnat-
ing from that source which told of re-
volt in Guatemala which had resulted in
three days of fighting with five hundred
killed. The account of the bloody battle
was told with great detail. 1t is q
remarkable fact that these thrilling
stories of war, giving the most minute
circumstances of detail are wholly fiction
and have no foundation in fact, according
to official advices received by the State
Department. In the story of the three
days battle O graphic account Was given
of how Colonel Jobon. by an order of Barll-
las. killed General Sanchez ana was i'm
mediately made by Barillas commander of
artillery. This General Sanchez was FORM
erly prominent man IN that country, but
his death occurred about eight months ago
and he not, therefore, III flesh to take
part in this carnage.
About q month ago the story was sent
from the same source, telling of O fearful
earthquake in Salvador. 1t was related
that the palace had been overthrOwn and
its occupants buried in the debris. The
cathedral bad likewise fallen. Altogether
six hundred people were reported killed.
This story is also characterized at the State
Department as pure Invention. Since the
alleged calamity occurred Lieutenant
Scriven, the worlds fair representative to
Central America. has held an important
conference with the President of Salvador
and other officials in this same palace
which was destroyed with the loss of so
much life.
One of the late canards of this same lit
erary bureau tells of the great distress IN
Guatemala. The people ara said to be
starving. the government bankrupt and the
families of high dignitaries pawnin9 their
jewels to get bread. About the time this
was published the State Department re-
ceived the official statement of the com.
merce and condition of Guatemala. show
ing that it was never more prosperous than
at the present time. Private lettera to off,
cials In the State Department indicate that
this literary bureau il not only furnishing q
bogus sensational war news. but resort
ing to black mail. The fact of the matter
Is there is no means by which this Mexican
news bureau can obtain news from Cen
trail America until some time after the same
news should reach the United States. But
it is realized that sensations are wanted in
some quarters, and these are furnished In
large doses.

Among the many lessons taught
generally by agricultural dcpres-
sion, there can be none more needed
or more strongly urged than the
necessity to cultivate better rather
than to increase the area of cultiva-

the simple fact that it costs no more
to farm well than it does to farm
badly; the vital difference in results
is so self-evident that it needs no
mention.
