VOLUNTEERS ARE PLENTIFUL
Guatemala Is Gather ng AL Able ho"ie"
Men aud May Make "a Blum
at Fighting.

San Francisco, Jan. 24.-Consul Gen
eral ]. Diaz Durna of Guatemala has
been recalled by President Barrios to
take command. of the military forces
i'm the war which he believes to be i'm
pending with Mexico. He has received
a dispatch from the Guatemalan, war
department confirming the war news
and stating that every able-bodied
Guatemalan is needed by his govern
ment. Burma says that an alliance has
finally been formed by Guatemala,
Nicaragua, Salvador and Honduras,
with joint force of 100000 men, to
march against Mexico.
Consul General A. X. Coney of Mex
leo on the other hand declares that
there will not be war between Mexico
and Guatemala over the existing boun-
Diary dispute. which he says can and
will be settled by diplomacy. Coner
says the only chances of hostilities lies
in the possibility of some hot headed
Guatemalan officer firing on the Mex
lean troops. If war should be declared,
Coney is confident that Mexico could
easily defeat Guatemala, even if the
latter country was able to form an
alliance with other Central American
republics. which he considers unlikely.

United States Trying to Patch Up the
Mexico Guatemalan Trouble.
City of Mexico, Jan. 25.-The United
States has undertaken to play the part
of peacemaker between Mexico and
Guatemala to prevent war if possible.
A telegram has been received here from
Secretary Gresham expressing a hope
that Guatemala and Mexico agree be-
tween themselves upon some method
of settling the dispute over the bound
airy, but if this should not be possible
the United States trusted the two coun-
tries would agree to submit their differ
ences to the arbitration of some friend
ly nation. This communication from a
nation with which Mexico enjoys such
intimate and friendly relations has
caused profound impression upon the
government and undoubtedly accounts
in part for the decision of the minister
of foreign affairs to withhold five or six
days at least the ultmatum he was
about to dispatch in answer to the note
from Guatemala. If it is learned that
the president of the United States has
made such an appeal it would be re-
ceived in good spirit before sending ii
by first communicating it in an un-
official manner with Minister Romero
at Washington.

CERTAIN INDIANS MADE A FUSS.
Work of Ncz Perez Allotment Agents
Was Nearly Undonc.

Lewiston, Idaho, Jan. 27.-What is
known as the Kamai Indians have or
ganized 200 strong to defeat the final work
of opening the Nez Perez reservation to
sttlement. At one time last week 1t was
feared that real danger existed, and the
agent consulted with well-known citizens
about the propriety of calling for military
protection.
The dissatisfaction is the result of the
work of the rich stock growers among the
Indians, who have used every means TO
defeat the will of the majority of the
tribe from the time the move in favor
of allotment began. These wealthy In
dams are shrewd schemers, and their
work has been met by the agents of the
government only by the strictest vigil
ance. More than once have they come
near undoing all the work of the com
missioners who secured the treaty and
that of the allotting agent. The last report
| is that the agent, with his Indian police
and with the aid of the majority which is
friendly to the severalty movement, has
quieted the three tened disturbance, which
! had taken the form of bulldosing scheme

HILL SCORED THE SILVER MEN.
Believe They Should BE Satisfied With
Half Loaf.

New York, Jan. Ex-senator Hill
spoke last night at a dinner given by
the Democratic Club. He said no fac
tional difference should retard immedi-
ate legislation for maintenance of the
credit and honor of the government.
To arbitrarily refuse such action now,
because some silver legislation does not
accompany it is the height of political
folly, equalled only by opposition to the
repeal of the Sherman bill or the foist-
ing of the populist income tax upon the
country. 1t is difficult to discover why
the friends of bimetallic coinage should
object TO the elimination of greenback
paper currency which it is now so gen
orally conceded should be cancelled
Yet most advocates or silver in con
gress, with Characteristic unwisdom
seek to regard it as their duty to antag-
onize every suggestion in aid of none
tary reform unless coupled with the full
and instant relief which they seek.
