No Response Received.


1t is said at the State Department that
neither Mexico nor Guatemala has yet re-
sponded to the overtures of the United
States government to use it's good offices
to secure peaceful solution of the bound
ary dispute. One report is that the MeXi-
can government has formally rejected the
Presidents offer to mediate, but it lacks
official confirmation.
Hopeful of Il Peaceful Solution.
Senor Romero, the Mexican minister says
in regard to the pending controversy be-
tween Mexico and Guatemala that he is
and has always been a friend of peace.
He says he has done everything in his
power to have this question settled in
peaceful manner, and he favors peace, not
because Of any personal motives, but Le-
cause he considers 1t a calamity, a war
between two nations of the same race and
civilization, having the same interests and
the same destinies in this hemisphere, and
because for general principles he is against
the use of force to settle international
disputes. Senior Romero said that not
withstanding that the news received seems
to have a serious aspect, he still hopes that
this unpleasant question will be settled i'll
a peaceful and friendly way.

Mexicans Would Pay a Special Tax
for a War.
GOVERNMENT RECEIVES MANY OFFERS
Fourth Battalion Of Infantry Going
to Acapulco.
TO BE READY FOR INVASION

MEXICO CITY, Mex, January 2s.-The
fourth battalion of infantry is making
preparations to move from this city. its
objective point being Acapulco, on the
Pacific coast, where it will be held with
the other forces now there for the trans
portation by sea for the Guatemalan in
vasion If thus ordered.
Francois Varona Muras, the Cuban jour-
nalist who made such vicious attack
upon Mexico in connection with the recep-
tion of the Guatemalan minister by Cen
eral Diaz, is supposed to have left Vera
Cruz yesterday by steamer for Havana.
Several influential newspaper men Of this
capital made a petition to Don Romero
Rubie, secretary of state, asking official
action against Muras. Getting wind of the
matter he quietly left town without fight
ing any of the numerous duels which he
had returned to participate in.
Appearances are that the pending Guate-
malan war will not be as expensive to Mex
leo was at first thought. The govern
ment has received many proffers of aid
frcm wealthy citizens of the republic, and
the mass of the people are enthusiastic
in their promises that these items, with
the numerous individual appropria tions,
will very nearly relieve the treasury de-
partment from material expenditure OF an
extraordinary nature.
The country is ready and willing also for
a special war tax, if the government finds
that necessary.
