REPUBLICANS HOLD OUT.
They Will Allow Bond Issues, hut
NJ silver Legislation or Bank
Tax Repeal.

Washington, D. G., Jan. 24.-There is a
possibility of an effort to secure financial
legislation through an amendment Of one
OF the appropriation bills to be acted
upon by the committee on appropria.
tlons. canvass of the senate, which
has been made the past ten days or two
weeks, has convinced the leaders on both
sides of the chamber that the conflict be-
tween the silver and bond men renders it
next to impossible to secure the passage
OF any independent financial or currency
measure. They have therefore quietly
taken up the scheme of securing the
needed legislation by adding the neces-
sary provisions to one of the bills pro-
viding for the regular appropriations.
1t is understood that the Republican
senators would not oppose an amend
ment which simply granted authority for
an issue Of bonds. They say that if it
becomes absolutely necessary to provide
additional money for the government ex-
penditures and for the maintenance of
the gold reserve the Democrats can pro-
vide it by agreeing to bond amendment
without weighing it down with other
questions, and that majority of the Re-
pnblicans will accept it in this shape, but
will not permit it to 60 through if
coupled with other silver legislation or
the repeal of the state bank tax.

The Mexican citizens living in the Sec
tion to be colonized by the negroes have

in Mexico.

Comitan, State of Chiapas, Mexico,
Jan. 24.-The government is pushing
fresh forces to the Guatemalan frontier
almost daily and camp quarters for a
large body of men have been arranged
for near this place. Some Guatemalans
have fled to Mexico rather than be pressed
into unwilling service. The reports from
the other side of the border are that
Guatemala is using every effort to work
up feeling of patriotism. Nearly every
horse for hundred miles from the bor-
der has been secured by one means or
another. The uncommunicative policy
of the Guatemala government Is having q
disastrous effect on public order and
residents of the frontier fear an invasion
of mounted Mexican rivals. 1t is gener
ally felt that should a war ensue the
frontier will be so overrun by troops and
pillaging renegades that life will be d
burden.
FUGITIvEs FROM GUATEMALA.
Tapahulca, State of Chirpas, Mexico
Fugitives from Guatemala are arriving
here almost daily. They number many
Guatemalan revolters, but are for the
most part native-born Mexioans who had
taken up their residence on Guatemalan
territory. Large parties are on their way
from Quatelango, in northern Guatemala,
either afraid to remain at home or COM
ing with the purpose of enlisting against
the government which they leave behind.

Acapulco, State of Guerrero, Mexico.
The report that the armed Mexican
Corvette Faragosa, had invaded Guate-

of the San Jose is not true. The school
ship was loaded with munitions and pro-
visions of war for supplying the Mexican
troops tributary to the ports of San Ben
ito and Santa Cruz on the southern coast.
Having discharged it's commission it is
now on its return trip to Watazalan,
where it will await further orders.
EXCITEMENT IN MEXICO.
City of Mexlco.-By the immense dem
onstration of students in this capital the
war feeling throughout the republic has
been wrought up to a high pitch. Re-
ports from interior points show the ris-
ing spirit Of patriotism aud it is proba
BILE that other great popular uprisings
will occur in many cities.
CREATED PROFOUND SENSATION.
City of Mexico.-A full report of the
proceedings of the students meeting was
sent to President Barrios at Guatemala
and it is said to have created profound
impression in government circles.
The volunteer movement is rapidly
spreading and it would evidently be pos
sible to raise $4,000 volunteers in this
city alone within day or two if the gen
eral government indicated a need for as
sistance.
SPAIN WILL NOT INTERFERE.
telegram from Guatemala says: "The
Spanish minister in Madrid will not in
terfere in any way to pacify the question
with Mexico"
Indications are that President Barrios
expects aid from Spain on account of his
bold stand.
