MEDIATION ISN'T WANTED
Mexico Will Decline With Thanks
Gresham's Offer.

CITY OF MEXICO. Jan. 20. 1t is
probable that Mexico will decline with
thanks the attempt of the United
States to intercede in the Guatemalan
affair. The reception in this capital
today of a telegram from Washington
saying that the United States will en-
deaYor TO act as mediator, and that
Minister Gray has started on his re-
turn 10 Mexico to Cooperate with
United States Minister Young. of
Guatemala, created much unfavora bic
comment i'll the limited circles in which
it was made public. President Diaz
when asked how the protfer would be
received by Mexico, very politely re-
Piled that tho country IN general
naturally felt grateful 10 the United
States as a sister republic, in its de-
Slres TO sustain peace, which was eX-
actly his own wishes. but while eX-
pressing his gratitude, the president
did not say the offer would be accepted.
"In all such cases the settlement Of
the matter at issue must depend upon
the consent OF the parties directly con-
cerned," said Gen. DiaZ. While giving
no hint that Mexico VIII not listen to
proper extent to the voice of the United
States in the matter, the press was
given the general impression that Mex
leo will continue to occupy the present
position on the boundary dispute and
hald to the claims for damages from
Guatemala which it has all along.
President Diaz is known to be far TOO
wise statesman to ignore any genuine
help for the preservation of the peace,
but 1t is generally understood among
those close to the seat of power that he
will let nothing come in the way of the
permanent settlement at an early date
of the long troubles of the Guatemalan
question. Ii war is necessary to accom-
plish this end, then it will be war to the
finish.

DIPLomArEs CONFER.
Mysterious GatherlnginS Secretary
Gresham's Office.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Late this
afternoon Senor Romero. the Mexican
minister, and Senor ArriagO, the Guat-
emalan minister, called at the state de-
partment. They were admitted at once
to the diplomatic room and entered
upon a discussion Of the troubles be-
tween their respective countries with
Secretary Gresham. In such cases the
ministers are usually charged with
power by their respective governments
to offer and receive suggestions looking
to settlement of the disputed ques-
tiOns, subject. of course. to the approval
of the home governments, but in this
case both officials have denied that the
matter is in their hands, so the infer
ence is that Secretary Gresham is sim>
ply urging them to advise their govern
ments to show a spirit of mutual con-
cessiOn. All the parties to the confer
ence refuse to disclose the nature of
the proceedings, but it is suggested in
one quarter that tentative proposition
advanced looks TO the relation of the
Mexican demand for money indemnity
for treSpaSS on the ChiapaS lands to the
date of the completion CT the boundary
survey between Mexico ana Guatemala
If it is then found that Guatema has
been guilty of treSpaSS she must pay
the indemnity, and not otherwise.

MANITOBA SCHOOL OAsE.
Privy Council Keopans the Fight
by Allowing appeal.

by Allowing appeal.
LONDON. Jan. 29.-In the presence
of Baron Watson, lord of appeal III
ordinary; Lord McNaughtun, lord of
appeal in ordinary, and Lord Shand, a
member OF the Judiciary committee of
the privy council, the lord chancellor.
Baron HerschelI, today delivered judg-
ment allowing the appeal from the
decision of the supreme court of Canada
i'll the case OF Brophy and others
against the attorney general Of Mani
toba, rendered ON Feb. 20. 1894 and
known as the Manitoba school case"
No costs were allowed. The essential
facts Of the controversy are these:
In 1870, Manitoba was admitted TO the
Canadian federation. Its first legis-
lation was the passage of school law
providing for Protestant and Catholic
schools TO be supported by the respective
religiOnlsts. But, in 1890, the Green
way government passed all act appro-
priatlng all school taxes to support OF
common school system. When under
this law the city of Winnipeg sought 10
collect school taxes from Roman Catho-
lies they resisted payment and began
action 10 contest the cOnstltutiOnality
of the act, eOnlending that under the
Manitoba act comforting provincial
jurisdiction, the legislature had no right
to take away the rights OF separate
denominational schools held by the
Catholics prior 10 federation.
MONTREAL. Jan. 29.-It is generally
expected here that the decision given i'll
London today on the Manitoba school
question will precipitate the general
elections. The decision confers
power upon the Bowel government
which it aid not want and which, DO
matter how exercised, will make enc

Money Indemnity Demanded by
Mexico Delays Negotiations
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. - Secretary
Gresham is still in t'legraphlc corre-
SDondence with the Mexican authorities
as we'll as those of Guatemala touching
the settlement of the dispute between
the two nations, and has not yet aban-
doned hope of peaceful outcome. The
status of the affair at present is that the
Guatemalan government does not wish
to go to war, and is willing to make al>
most any honorable concession to avoid
it. The MeXlcanS are not in the same
conciliatOry mood, but the government
probably would accept any basis Of set
clement which could be shown to the
satisfaction of the people to be in the
line of maintenance of their claims.
There is ground for the belief that the
indemnity of S263, 600 demanded by
Mexico for the invasion of the Chiapas
territory is causing the main difficulty.
