FROM GUATEMALA.
A Visitor Talks About the Little Re-
Oublic

A Visitor Talks About the Little Re-
public.
Mr.. John A. Carlson is in the city
after having been for some time in
Guatemala. In conversation about the
country yesterday to HERALD reporter
he spoke as follows:
Leaving San Francisco on board the
steamer San Bias, May 23, 1891, and
touching only a few ports, I arrived June
9th at San Jose, small town on the
southwestern coast of the republic. I
proceeded at once by train to the new
capital. The feature that impressed me
most on the way was the remarkably
beautiful verdure-ferns, vines, flowers,
banana trees. shrubs of every hue,
growing in great profusion, above which
stood majestic palms, aud above all
these lowered many grand mountain
peaks magnificent TO behold. The
geological feature was as much impos-
ing. Beautiful birds, and butterflies
with wings at least nine inches in
length futtered among the fragrant
tropical plants; the paroquet and mon
key were absent, however, inhabiting
only the eastern coast.
Arriving at the capital, found it to
be a city of $4,000 inhabitants; the
majority, however, are aborigines and
are still very degraded. and undoubtedly
will remain 30 until the Aztec GUS
toms are erased by the progress
of more enlightened civilization.
The city is situated on plateau, with
an elevation of about 5000 feet. The
houses are low, plastered within and
without, having a small garden at the
rear. There are few beautiful struc-
tpres. but the beauty of the city is
destroyed by the narrow, dirty streets,
which are paved with cobble stones,
traversed by OK teams and dingy, half
clad natives. Very few OF the wealthy
class are out during the day. because Of
the intense heat.
Were the political functions Of the
country OF a more harmonious nature,
there would be no reason why the repub-
lie could not be of immenee commercial
Importance. Coffee, spices, sugar cane,
fruits, dyewood, etc., grow very well, but
the manufacturing industry is decidedly
undeveloped. 1t is my opinion that it
will remain SO until they cease to levy
such exorbitant taxes and duties; in
other words, they should have free
trade.
Most of the towns of Guatemala are
inhabited by Indians and few foreign
traders. The huts are constructed from
bamboo canes, and these places afford
little accommodation to the traveller.
Notwithstanding it's faults the republic
will open to the world its rich products,
where men of energy may make q
fortune.

THAT WATER RACKET.
Mr.. Spence Talks to a Herald
Reporter.

The Times yesterday morning con-
tanned an editorial which stated that
Mr.. E. F. Spence controls quarter OF
the stock OF the Los Angeles City Water
company, that he is a member of the
finance committee and is a large creditor
of H. 2. Ozborne, the editor of the Ex-
press, and calls on him to deny that any
money has been paid to the Times by
the water company, as has been init
mated by the Express.
Mr.. Spence was called on yesterday
by HERALD reporter and asked il he
had any statements to make.
Nothing further than to deny the
allegations made in the editorial YOU
speak Of" was the answer. II am
simply director in the company and
know very little about the details Of the
expenditures. am sure that no bribes
were offered to any one by the company
because we do not do that sort of busi-
ness. Mr.. Osborne never owed me any
+, thing, nor did the Evening Express,
nor have ever attempted to influence a
line in that paper. As you have asked
me, that is what have to say."S
The following notice was sent to the
HERALD last evening:

THE AYRES CASE.
THE DEFENDANT TELLS OF HIS
RELATIONS WITH BAKER.
Bakers Testimony-Attorney J. M. voss
on:the Stand He Tells What He Knows
of the Affair.

The Ayres case was on trial again yes
terday, before Judge Shaw of the supe.
rior court. Ayres continued his testi.
mony, saying that he had quarrel with
Baker just before the trial of the latter,
and testified that instead of having
Baker acknowledge deed for him, it
was the latter who went to notary and
had the instrument acknowledged. The
witness said that he and Baker had not
been on good terms for some time. They
had falling out just previous to Bakers
trial. --s'
Mr.. Baker was recalled by the defense.
He was asked il he had not talked with
two other prisoners in the county jail,
T. X. Murphy and Or. Bragg, concern.
ing this case, and If he did not declare
that, as Ayers had refused to testify as
he wanted him to in his (Baker's) case,
it was now his time to get even with
him, and he proposed to do it. He
would make Ayers "go over the road. !"
Baker denied that he had made such
statements. The two men were brought
in from Jail, and they recited what
Baker had said concerning Ayers,
which corresponded to what Mr.. Ling
wished to prove.
Other witnesses examined were 7. r..
Dering and Theodore Murray. For the
defense John @. Platt was put on in re-
buttal.
Attorney J. M. voss was the last wit
ness examined. He testified as follows
regarding a transaction he had wit
messed when Ayres was present and
said
II am acquainted with Robinson, u
real estate agent; do not remember the
date that the transaction took place
remember deed made from
Morgan to Stewart, which was
given to me-; l gave the deed
to w. B. Stewart. He gave me check,
which I delivered to the Farmers and
Merchants bank and received between
5000 and $500 in gold coin. / gave the
money to James Morgan, the defendant.
Lyman Ayers was present at the time OF
the delivery. Mr.. Morgan counted the
money on the table, and Mr.. Ayres was
in conversation regarding commission.
Ayers said the owner, Dunn, would only
pay small commission, and during the
conversation I started out and they
called me back to make some change, as
they had agreed on the amount of the
commission. Morgan pushed the money
toward the center OF the table, Morgan
and Ayers sitting at each end of the
table. The money was showed toward
Ayers by Morgan. Ayers said that the
money was to 60 to Dunn, and that he
would not pay large commission.
The case was then submitted for ar
gument, and Deputy District Attorney
Blades opened in behalf of the people.

as an Idle fancy of the philosophers or
prescribed as an impious heresy, gained
credit again in the fourteenth century,
and in the fifteenth was disputed by no

only three continents-and these made
up the old world-it was necessary TO
suppose that Asia formed the western
boundary of the ocean. The extreme
east of Asia was, owing to the rotund-
ity of the earth, also the extreme west
But then, how wide was the ocean?
How far east did Asia extend from the
