\ M ENA GA ! i n GAUTEMAL.

Minneapolis, Nov 14-Louis r. Men
age, master Of the sciences Of finance and
of disappearing, has been found. BY this
time he is probably {, prisoner in Guate-
mala, held to await the arrival Of United
States authorities. Yesterday a message
from Secretary Greshan, flashed across
the wires to that obscure Central Amerl-
can state, asking the arrest OF y. "a
Miller, Apartado 1876, City Of Guatemala,
Qua temala, Central America. That man
Miller was l.. r. Menage, the man who
stands charged with some of the most
daring financial piracy ever committed IN
this part of the country, and who must
answer to two indictments in the Henne-
pin county district court. When the
Guaranty Loan company went under,
May II, there were many who said 1t
was due to the financial panic, then at
its worst None suspected any glaring
dishonesties to exist in the management
OF the great fnandlal concern, and so,
when enough was ascertained to warrant
the Indictment Of Menage, there was
revulsion of feeling. 1t was acSnowI-
edged on all sides that the only way to
retrieve the damage done to this part OF
the country by the reported operations
of Menage and others was to mete out
| justice strictly in accordance with the
demands of the case. But when this de-
| cision was reached Menage was nowhere
to be found. He had quietly slipped
away upon The advice of an accomnlo-
dating physician. A few of his quoDdam
associates, wien approached on the sub
jcct, seemed indignant that any one
supposed they would tell his whereabouts,
and We're corresp ondingly non-communi-
catiIe. Rewards were offered for the
I. turn of the missing financer, but moth
ing came of this move, although story
circulated by former associate of Men
age gave rise TO general impression that
the man wanted was in South America.
Although there is no eXtraMnOn treaty
between the United States and Guata'
nlala, Secretary Gresham was so i'm
pressed with the rlo1mity of Manages
crime that he will do everything in his
power to have him returned to this cOun
try. The cablegram ordering the arrest
of Menage was then written as follows
''Hon. Col. Young, Minister of United
States at Guate,nala: His honor, thu
secretary of state at Washington, re
