ARE ANXIOUS FOR WAR.
The Republic Could Recruit $4,000
Volunteers in Few
Days.

Tapachua, State of Chiapas, Mex,
Jan. 24.-Thc Southern border is in
ferment over the impending hostilitics
between Mexico and Guatemala. More
troops are being conferred aboUt the
frontiers and a heavy movement of pco-
pie is noticeable on every hand. Fugi-
tivas from Guatemalan soil are arriving
here almost daily. They number many
Guatemalan revolterS from the Guate-
malan interior, but are thus far for the
most part native born MeXicans who
have taken up residence on Guatcma-
Ian territory. Large parties on their way
from Quetzaltenango, Northern Guate-
mala, who are afraid to remain in their
homes, are coming with the purpose of
enisting against the government which
they leave behind.
Mexico City, Mex, Jan. 24.-Don
Emilio de Leon, Guatemalan minister to
Mexico, was outside his hotel when the
recent students procession was moving

learning the feelings of the Mexican peo-
pie on the international boundary dispute
and the firm stand taken by Mexico. A
fullreport of the proceedings was scMt by
the Guatemalan representative to prcsi-
dent Barrios at Guatemala and it is.
said to have created a profound impress
sion in government circles. This city is
quiet and orderly although the effects of
the patriotic storm is easily discernlblc.

SQUARE OFF FOR WAR.
The Reply of Guatemala Received
at Mexico, but it is Not
Made Public.

City of Mexico, Jan. 25.-There is great
excitement here and nothing is heard on
the streets and in newspaper offices but
war talk. A meeting of the cabinet was
called for this morning and it is thought
war will be declared Mexico, it is said,
has 5000 men on the Guatemalan frontier
ready for action.
The official communication of Guate-
mala to the demands of this country
over the threatening international bound
airy dispute was delivered to the national
palace this morning. 1t came on the
Vera Cruz railway mail train last night,
having been forwarded from CoatZa-
coalcos to Vera Cruz by boat in wait
ing.
Foreign Secretary Mariscal was en-
gagged today in making careful read
ing of the reply, which is very voluminous
and covers many pages of closely-Wrtten
matter. Its contents have not as yet
been made known, even to the President
and members of the cabinet. The docu-
ment will be presented at the meeting
OF the cabinet today. 1t is generally un
derstood that the import of Guatemala's
reply is the same as indicated in the tee>

clare war on that republic unless it ac>

NJ. PERlER.S SECRET.
Domestic, Not Political, Troubles Led
to the Resignation of the Pres
ident of France.

New York, Jan. 25.-The real causes
of the resignation of NJ. Casmir-Perier
from the presidency of France are just
beginning to be noised about, according
to cable from Paris to the Herald. 1t
is understood that the cause is not at all
political, but purely private in character.
The eX-President is Oh the point of
seeking to obtain a divorce from Mime.
CasimrP erier the causes for this being
of quite long standing. AS Il matter of
fact, the first steps III the proceedings
had already been taken by Nj. Casimir-
Periers lawyers when he became Presi-
dent of the republic At that time his
mother interviewed, and her supplications
induced him to take the high office to
which he was called in the hopes that
the Official and public life he and Nine.
CasimirPerier would be forced to lead

But their misunderstanding became
worse and when M. CasimirPerier found
that the joys of political power did not
compensate him for his domestic annoy
ances, when his intimate friend, M. Bur
deau, died, and when his other friend
~ Raynal, was bounded down by the
hamber of Deputies because of the rail-
ay conventions, in a fit of anger he
signed. 1t is said that the divorce is

malan matter. The reply of Guatemals,
To the demand of Mexico received yes.
terday at the national palace was read
and considered in many of its bearings.
Another conference will probably be held
next Monday, at which the entire min
istry will doubtless be asked to be pres.
cnt.
With regard to the general situation
President Diaz said: Although it is
true that the government is sustaining
serious and delicate controversy OF n
diplomatic nature which. if not hanG!ejF
with correct, logical and honorable
means. may conduce to war, although
il is also true that we are not yet on the
verge of war; because honor, good faitlr
and logic constitute the programme Of
the government and because it has no.
right to arbitratc any other course to its
adversary, the government believes, and
has practically demonstrated that belief
for several years, that the greatest bless
ing we can offer to our country is the
present period of reconstruction and hap
py and visible development of peace, and
declare that it will only allow it to be
interrupted when an unjust and pertina~
cious aggressor insists upon infringing
upon it's well-established rights and as
The land involved in the dispute be-
tween Mexico and Guatemala is covered
for the most part with dense forests of
precious woods. Mexican choppers from
the north and Guatemalan choppers
from the south have clashed in the heart
of the forest that fringes the banks of
the rivers Usumacinto and Lacantun and
their tributaries, and this has prccipi-
tated the conflict. The controversy rests
on the question whether the Lacantm
or one of the forks of the Usumacinto
constitutes the boundary between the
Mexican state of Chiapas and Guatc-
mala. The old traditional boundary was
the Lacantun, but according to the
treaty of 1882 the boundary was pushed
to the eastward. The Guatemalans do
not now accept the Usumacinto bound
airy. and companies, declining to acknowl-
edge the title of the little republic 70 the
territory, have recently invaded these re-.
gions on the left bank of the Lacantun.

Train Robbers Get $4,000 from a
Cotton Belt Train in Ar
kansas.

Pine Bluff, Ark, Jan. 25.-The south
bound Cotton Belt train was held up and
robbed by two masked men near McNeal,
at 1:05 p. m. last night. After an inef-
fectual attempt to open the safe in the
express car, the bandits compelled the
messenger to assist them The amount
taken from the safe is estimated at
So, 1000. The watch and chain taken
from Conductor Harris were returned to
him upon his assurance that they be-
longed to him individually. 1t is thought
that members of the Cook gang No. >,

Washington, D. c., Jan. 24.-There is

world of Washington that for some time

RIBOT'S CABINET.
He VIII Take the Ministry of
Finance Himse!f-Other Per-
sons Invited.

Paris. Jan. % - NJ. Rbot saw the
President today and informed him that
he believed that he could now form Il
cabinet, taking the portfolio Of minister
of finance himself. and with NJ. Hano>
tauX as minister of foreign affairs, NJ.
Leagues as minister of the interior and Nj.
Chautcmps as minister of marine.
Paris. Jan. 26.--The press, as Il rule,
regard the selection of Nj. Itibot for the
premiership with disfavor and doubt if
he will be able to form a cabinet Doubt
is expressed if he can obtain a majority
in the Chamber of Deputies even if he
is successful in forming a ministry. In
any ease it is understood that the pro
posed income tax will be dropped and
that Il proposal for partial amnesty will
be introduced.

DIDN'T FIND TAYLOR.
MIR. Overton Of Indiana Gave the
South Dakota Officers a
Wild Goose Chase.

Craw louisville, Ind, Jan. 2G.--The SEN
satonal locating of Treasurer Taylor of
South Dakota by John G. Overton ended
in wind. Overton took Marshal Grimes
to Rensselaer, last night to get Taylor
at the home of his brother-in-law, Tom
Mccoy. Taylor was not there. On ac-
count of his supposed great intelligence
and prominence, hundreds of people in
and about Charlottesville really believed
Overton's claim. What induced him to
believe as he did cannot be imagined,
although some have been unkind enough
to insinuate that he received spiritualistic
advice.
