Situation in Mexico.

CITY of MEXICO, Jan. 26.-The
morning newspapers preserve strict
silence as to the governments pro-
gramme in the dispute with Guate-
mala. At the departments all in-
quirers are met with absolute refusal
to discuss the situation, although an
official statement in the near future is
hinteG.
Guatemala's reply to Mexico's final
demands is still a cabinet secret,
although numberless wild rumors as
it's contents spread hourly.
Last night there was report that
Senior Mariscal of the foreign Office
had received notice from Guatemala
that she was ready to grant Mexico's
request as to the frontier lands and to
indemnify the country for the expense
incurred incidentally 60 the dispute.
To-day this was denied officially. An
extra force Of men worked in the
citadel and arms factory all night.
The Twenty-ffth regiment is here
preparing for heavy marching.

negotiate an adjustment of the diff
crlties over the boundary line be-
tween th0two countries, telegraphs

The Reorganization
Of the State Militia Force
Entered Upon.

forces of the State. which it was de-
cided must come as result of the OAR
lington trouble, is now about to be
made under the provisions Of the new
militia Law enacted at the last session
of the General Assembly. 1t is ex-
pected that the reorganization will be
completed within the next fortnight
Adjutant General Watts, is particu-
larly desirous that this shall be doue.
Is seems that the scheme for the reor-
ganiaation as provided in the new law
lets down the bars for all the suspended
companies to 60 back into service
again along with all new companies
The old organization was State voluu-
teer organization. Under the reorgan-
ization The new force is to be
regularly enlisted force-every man
taking an oath to serve for two years
and obey the commauder-in-cbief and
and other superior officers. While this
has been implied heretofore, it has
never been requirement
THE REORGANIZATION CIRCULAR
The following is the circular letter.
looking to the reorganization, as issued
from the Adjutant Generals Office:
COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan 26, 1894.
DEAR SIR: Enclosed find enlistment
blanks according to the act passed by
the last Legislature amel::ing the mill
tia laws of the State. The oath or af-
frmation which you will find on the
enlistment blanks must be administered
by a commissioned officer, as you can
readily understand from the blanks. |
am very anxious to have the papers re-
turned as soou as possible, so that |
may know which companies desire to
enlist. The rolls must be made in trip
lioate-one to be kept by the command
ing officer of the company, one to be
forwarded to the colonel Of the regiment
and the other to be forwarded to the
Adjutant and Inspector General. | am
very anxious to issue orders for the
annual inspection within the next 6f
teen days aud desire every blank to be
returned by that time.
Each member Of company is re-
quired to sign the oath or affirmation
in his own handwriting. And in the fu.
ture no one will be allowed to pass in
spection that is not certified to by the
commanding officer as being an active
and enrolled member. 1t is my iuten-
tion to prevent companies in the future
from picking up men here and there in
order to have the number required by
law to pass inspection. Heretofore, |
am afraid that too much stress has
been laid upon the number and not.
upon the efficiency Of the men. And
in this connection / will say that in the
future more thorough inspection will
be required. 1t is my intention and de-
sire to heve limited, we'll drilled aud
equipped force. As soon as the number
of companies which desire to enlist is
ascertained, general order will be is
sued recognizing the militia and Or
ganizing the companies into such divis-
ions. brigades, regiments and battallons
as the commander-ip- p-chief may deem
expedient. By order

ROGER IS HOME.

Waterbury's CraSk Ball Player Reaches
 Home This AftSrnoOn, Carrying Dla-
 mOnds Which Were Presented by Ad-
 nAiring Friends In St. Louis.
 When the o'clock train pulled into the Naugatuck station this afternoon the stall wart form of Roger Oonnor, the famous first baseman of the St Louis club, was seen to step onto the platform. The first one to accord him a welcome on his ar- rival was @ reporter of the DEMOCRAT, but in few minutes he was surrounded by an army of people. who jostled each other in their eagerness to get 8 chance to shake the hand of the man who has done considerable to make Waterbury known all over the civil ized world. MT Connor is in splendid condition and appears to be as fleet of foot to-day as he was when he first stepped on the diamond. "Well Roger are you out of the base ball business for good?" asked the reporter. as soon as he could get a chance to make his voice heard about the busy hustle of trampiug feet that surround ed the big first baseman. After a long pause he said, I can't say that am, have not received my release and may go back at any time. In any case, if play ball next season it will be. with St Louis. Since the talk of my being re- leaSeQn DY the 0G LOUIS c1uD nave had fattering offers from two other clubs. but there is no uDpleasantness between me and the club have been playing with and of course I am with it still. My rela- tions with the managers were of the most friendly nature and expect that they will always remain so."
 Mir Connor showed the reporter two sets of diamond link sleeve buttons, which he received from the directors of the club and few outside friends at banquet ten- dered him in St Louis before his departure for home. The affair has been written up in detail in these columns. but in order to fully appreciate the souvenirs one must see them.
 What MT Connor's future will be it would be difficult to say just now, but in any case we shall have the pleasure of having him amongst us for few months. and it will be 8 rare treat to all his per sonal friends, as we'll as to all the base ball cranks to meet MT Connor and talk over his phenomenal achievements in his pro fession.

Those Who Want 1t May Find Means
 of Getting It.
 Sptali of liquor at camp Bridgeport officer ot the National Guasd said to the Farmer: The whole camp was blamed last year for the disgraceful actions of few and an injustice was done to many an in- nocent one in the accounts of the disgrace ful doings. Civilians came to camp and brought liquor with them and when they. became "paralyzsd, so to speak, there were other civilians who supposed the drunken ones were members of the Nation al Guard and formed their opinions and talked in accordance tht rewith. Now don't understand me as saying there was no drunkenness among the militiamen, for there was. But the most of it was confined to one regiment and that was not the Fourth. Ihope if there is any drunken ness this year the blame will be placed just where it belongs. As to cellars under the tents, you know it is easy to dig cellars at this @ason, and they may be dug this year. But, tell you if @ man wants liquor and you deprive him of his usual method of obtaining it, he will contrive some other method that was never thought of before, and when it is discovered you will find that it is most ingenious method.

A Suit i'm Which Waterbury Parties
 Figure Prominently.
 The following article appeared in to- days New York World:
 i.Stephen A. Dutton, who owns the docks at the foot of Twenty-hfth and Twenty-six streets, Brooklyn, has brought a suit in the Supreme Court against Lucien E. Burpee, the Connecticut Indemnity As- sociation, 0. Art Ward. Samuel P. Will Hams, Marshal Louis Levy, of this city, and Seth B. Robinson to restrain them from enforcing, two mortgages for SIC, ,000 each upon his steamboat, the Jesse B.
 Dutton says that in February last he wished to borrow $350, 900. Ward and Williams introduced him to Burpee, the agent of the Connecticut Indemnity Asso- citation. Pending negotiations; for the loan. Dutton says, he gave his note for S10,O00 to Burpee, Ward and Williams for discount. the loan to be repaid out of the $350,00 But he never received any part of the $10. 900 or of the promised loan of $350, 1000. The mortgages were not returned to him, and Marshal Levy levied on the steamboat under the first mortgage. Dutton alleges that the mortgages were ob- tained from him by false representations.
 Colonel Burpee was seen bya DEMOCRAT reporter and said he had just read the ar- ticle in the World. He pronounced the story a tissue of lies. Colonel Burpee is the attorney for the Connecticut Indem- nifty association and as such negotiated 8 loan of SIC, 1000 for the company to nr 0. Art Ward and Samuel P. Williams. This money was paid over to Stephen A. Dutton for 8 part ownership in his docks at the foot of twenty-fifth and twenty sixth streets. Dutton gave 8 note, the note has matured and in order to get large extension of time Dutton claimed he had not been paid and hence has issued an injunction There was on talk and it is absurd to so, think of $350.0
