Agree to Arbitrate Amount of Indeln-
nifty Guatemala Must Pay.
City of Mexico, April 4.-The press
generally speaks in high praises Of the
action of Mexico in finally averting
war with Guatemala. There are a few
people in this capital who are aware
how closely the sending of a war mes
sage to congress by President Diaz was
averted. Yesterday morning a cable
message came from Guatemala to it's
minister to concede all of Mexico's
claims and sign the treaty. which was
done at 10 o'clock. The final negotia-
tons are compromise between the
ultimatum and reply. 1t is believed
that Mexico has agreed to arbitrate
the amount of cash Indemnity instead
of exacting the $4,000 COO first claimed.

AGAIN AFTER HUNTINGTON.
EX-Strikers Determined to
Have Him Arrested and
Prosecuted.
A New Complaint to Be Filed
Against Him Within the Next
Ten Days.

G. P. Huntington's arrival in this City
has revived the desire Oh the part of a
large number of his ex-employes to have
him prosecuted on the charge of having
violated the interstate commerce act in
having issued pass to Frank M. Stone,
good over all the lines of the Southern
Pacific Company, as Mr.. Stone testified
during the trial of the strikers last winter.
1t will be remembered that the ind;ct-
ment found against the president of the
Southern Pacific Company by the Federal
Grand Jury was dismissed on the motion
of United States District Attorney Foote
on the ground that the pass had never been
used in an interstate trip by the holder and
that therefore there had been no violation
of the law.
In their search for testimony the A. r.
.. men claim to have secured ample proof
that Mr.. Stone not only used his pass to
and from Portland Or, but also for two
trips to Ogden and return.
In recent interview Mr.. Stone states
that he had not received his pass from Mr..
Huntington until some time in April, yet
before the Federal Grand Jury the accusers
OF Huntington say he testified that he
received his pass about the 10th Of
January.
The complaint is now being prepared
and will be so drawn as to cover the use OF
the pass during the early part of the year
1894 as well as during July.
Attorney Monteith is to have charge of
the matter, but only consented to act on
the understanding that other counsel was
to be associated with him. He was waited
upon yesterday by a committee of the
American Railway Union, consisting of
G. Z. Crandall and d. L. Williams and
asked to press the matter with all possible
promptness and yigor.
1t is thought the complaint will be filed
by Friday of next week, but who will be
applied to for the warrant for the arrest of
Mr.. Huntington is not yet known, though
it will be before some State or county Off
Ger sitting as a Federal magistrate. In
this connection are mentioned the names
of Mayor Sutro of this City, Mayor Davie
of Oakland, Mayor Mccarthy of San Ra-
fael, Justice John A. Carroll of this City
and Police Judge Campbell.

KENNETH DUNCAN BACK
The Ex-MiniSter of the Howard
Presbyterian Church a
Wreck.
He Has Been Drinking Heavily and
Conserving With Habitues of
Saloons.

Kenneth ]. Duncan has returned. He
came to San Francisco from the Sandwich
Islands on the bark Dimond, which ar
rived in port three days ago.
There is little in the Kenneth Duncan of
to-day to remind one of the earnest pulpit
orator who two years ago was acting as
pastor Of the Howard Presbyterian Church.
A short time has sufficed to work awful
havoc with the delicate features of the ex-
minister.
Since his arrival in this City Mr.. Dun
can has not sought to meet his old ac-
quaintances. Instead he has frequented
the drinking places in which sporting MEN
and women congregate, and seemed to find
a solace in the noisy singing and in deep
dra lights of whisky. He has made as his
special companions several young men
who have won names in the ring as
pugilists. To some of these he told his
story.
"He was introduced to me under an as
sumed name" said one of them, "but
later he told me his name was Kenneth J.
Duncan, and then he related the story of
his life. He said that in Honolulu he had
been instructor and chaplain in a reforma-
tory institution for boys.
HE did not know just what he would
do in California He said he was no longer
in the ministry and that he had severed all
connections with the church"
Mr.. Duncan was drinking heavily with
his new companions. Last night ne was
at several saloons.
1t took several knocks at his door in the
hotel to elicit an answer, Then the door
was opened. In the shadow of the room
stood an emaciated man, half dressed.
His cheeks were sunken. Great dark
shadows encircled the eyes that looked oat
in a startled way from mat of hair. 1t
was Kenneth j. Duncan.
"Mr. Duncan, | want to get some in
formation regarding a portion of the
islands," said his caller. Duncan started
in a frightened way and, trying to close the
door, stammered:
IL am mot the man."
TO every question came the same re-
Spouse, the words being borne forward on
breath laden with the fumes of liquor.
The hotel register, however, showed the
name tx. Duncan" assigned to the occu-
pant of that room, which showed that he
was the man wanted even had his face not
betrayed his identity.

HIS MIND FAILED HIM.

examination of Weli-known Con-
tractor for Insanity.
"I'm going to free Ireland and distribute
happiness to all the world in five-pound
packages" shouted Owen Clements before
Judge Hebbard yesterday. He fourished
a big revolver to emphasize his remarks.
Several Deputy Sheriffs who were closely
watching him soon had him where he
could do no harm.
Clements is a member Of the firm of
Clements d Philbin, contractors. For
some time past he has been showing signs
OF mental weakness, SO his friends took
him before the Insanity Commissioners
yesterday for examination.
Among the friends who testified regard
ing his condition were Charles P. Schaefer,
Peter Gillooly, Mary Mulholand, J. w.
Schinkwin and d. Sullivan.
Clements is a single man. He is the
owner of valuable property and his firm
has a number of good contracts outstand-
ing from which Clements will eventually
receive fair profits. On account of this
property the case went over until this
morning, when more of Clements friends
will appear and help to do what they can
to have proper guardian appointed to
look after Clements and his property.

Mir. Kruttschnitt said that he was quite
a stranger in California, although he had
been in the City before, but only for
short time. He passed through the San
Joaquin Valley by daylight yesterday and
embraced the chance to see as much of the
country and of the road as possible. He
seemed to be in excellent form last even

cheerful.
