The Women Of Guatemala.

GUATEMALA CITY, Feb. 21.-Possibly
the talk about war between Guatemala
and Mexico may arouse some interest
among northerners concerning this Cen
trail American country. The land and tho
people here are surely sufficiently unlike
the land and the people of the United
States 10 merit at least passing attention
All right minded strangers are attracted
by the women of Guatemala-that is, by
the younger ones. They arc exceedingly
pretty, not beautiful, not handsome ex-
actly, but pretty. As to figure, they IRE
generally slight; rs TO movements, quick
and graceful, and apt to DO coquettish.
Their compilations are olive, but clear and
transparent, their hair is black and plen-
tiful, and they wear it in braids that are
sometimes so long as to fall below the
waist. Their features are delicate, their
eyes large and lustrous, and their hands
and feet are small
Women labor in the fields side by side
with the men, for household cares in this
country are few and trifling Most OF the
marketing is done by the women, and
this includes the conveying of the products
of the fields TO the selling place as we'll as
the purchasing of such things as are need
ed. They carry the vegetables and fruits
they wish TO dispose of in large. fat bas-
kets, which they balance skillfully on
their heads. They generally travel in par
ties or groups Of six or eight, and they are
actually able 10 keep up q slow and easy
trOt for distance of several miles with
these heavy burdens on their heads.
Their costumes arc. almost always pic
turesquo and bright colored. This adds
greatly to their attractiyeness, making
them appear picturesque even when they
have reached the personally unattractive
age, which comes much earlier in this eli
mate than in cooler northern.lands.
While the young women Of Guatemala
are undoubtedly Joy to all who behold
them, not so much can be said of the
houses in which the Guatemalans live and
the manner in which they arc kept.

How the Captain and Mate of
the Swanhilda Gave
Away Coal.
CUSTOMS INSPECTORS WORK.
Arrested for Violating the Revenue
Laws in Not Paying Duty on
the Fuel.

After long and patient watching and
waiting and many dlsappolntments,
Debuty Surveyor Sam Ruddell and Chief
Weigher Rhodes, of the Custom house,
yesterday solved mystery that has been
bothering consignees in this port for years
past.
The cargoes of coal ships from England
and Australia have very often been found
|. to be short 40 to so tons in addition to the
per cent allowed by law for waste and
escape from the hoppers. This condition
of affairs has not been so noticeable dur
ing the past two years as it was previous to
that time, but still has existed to such an
extent as to cause number of complaints
to be lodged in the Custom-house by con-
signees. Apparently no skill on the part
of the customs inspectors or detectives
hired by the department could unearth the
leak until yesterday.
The ship Swanhilda, which recently ar
rived from Newcastle, N. S. W., with about
1000 tons of coal consigned to Balfour,
Guthrie e. Co., was being watched as usual
and through the peculiar actions of Mate
Merkle the secret was discovered. In I'M
carrying off loads of the fuel while en-
route from the ship to the scales, each
driver is given as he leaves the hopper a
card out of a book, the slips being num-
bered consecutively. This must be given
to the assistant weigher at the scales, who
knows at once if break occurs in the
mum bers that load is missing. Without
the connivance of the clerk at the hopper
no loss in that direction is possible.
The mate and captain of the Swanhilda,
by their own statements, violated the
revenue laws by the help of the clerk. 1t
was found that when certain carriers ap
peared for loads the clerk did not give
them the numbered cards. These drivers
were followed, and it was found that they
did not go near the scales, but drove their
loads off uptown.
Inquiry developed the fact that the
omission was made on orders from Mate
Merkle, and he was at once arrested on a
charge of facilitating the transfer of goods
without paying the duty. Captain Fraser,
subordinate, at once told the Custom
house officials that the loads were sent
away without cards by his consent and he
was promptly placed under arrest. Both
men were taken before United States Com
missioner Heacock and released on 500
bonds each. Warrants were issued for the
arrest of those for whom the coal in ques-
ton was intended and they will be arrested
to-day.
The officers of the ship claim that they
had a right to the coal, as it was part of
the coal allowed the vessel to use on the
voyage, and that they were privileged to
use any surplus as they pleased.
They say 1t was given away to friends
to whom they were indebted, on the IN
derstanding that the custom house duty
should be paid before it was delivered at
its destination. They say that they were
unaware that the people to whom it was
to be delivered had not paid the 40 cents
per ton duty.

Attorneys in the Freeman Case
Make Things Lively
Again.
INTIMIDATION OF WITNESSES.
Alexander H. Freeman Said to Be Ill
as the Result of Threats
and Abuse.

The Chesterfieldian grace with which the
attorneys in the now celebrated Freeman
case greeted each other at the opening of
United States Commissioner Heacock's
court yesterday morning led those who
were present to believe that the session
would be as dry as that of the preceding
day. They were mistaken.
Attorney Mackaye gravely removed his
overcoat, bowed courteously to his legal
opponent, glanced inquiringly at the
pretty typewriter, who takes question and
answer alternately, and then plunged into
redhot arraignment of the other side on
number of charges.
The method of preparing the record is
one of the things in this case that appears
rather humorous TO the ordinary observer.
The statements of counsel and everything
else in the case are typewriter word by
word as they are uttered, and the calm de-
liberation of the proceeding is often very
much at variance with the text.
When attorney Mackaye had finished he
bowed profoundly to his opponent, who
went him one better in the matter of
charges, all of which the typewriter took
with due elaboration and with variety
of expressions.
Attorney Mackaye started out by stating
that at this iuncture he wished to have
properly mentioned in the record what he
termed 1.-The criminal attempts On the
part of Walter K. Freeman, and possibly
of John L. Boone, the alleged counsel for
Warren L. Freeman, to intimidate the wit
nesses now under subpoena, and to obstruct
the course OF justice by blackening the
characters of their opponents through
ibelous statements in the San Francisco
newspapers"
10 III nh ho;,
Inundated, but went on to say that Alex
ander III. Freeman had told him that Wal
ter K. Freeman had threatened to "put
hole through im"-Alexander-and that
the latter was in a critical state of health
through the threats and abuse to which he
had been subjected
Then Attorney Church took his turn at
the typewriter, and poured forth obiec-
tions, denials and counter-charges of in
tlmldation, conspiracy, blackmail and
other interesting things SO fast that the
operator was compelled to ask him to re-
peat on several occasions. He said that no
threats or intimidations had been used
except by the other side, and took pains to
mention that Mr.. Mackaye mad gone by
the alias of Steel on one occasion.
When he had finished Mr.. Mackaye
looked him calmly in the eye and SAID:
els that all? If so L will ask Mr.. Irvine
to take the stand"
IIf4AS OllcI reporters W
whom Walter K. Freeman had made state
ments in relation to the case were ques-
toned regarding the source of their in
formation, the object being to show that
Freeman had rushed into print in an en-
de avor to hurt the case of his opponents.
Toward the end of the session Mr.. Mac
kaye and his counsel, Horace Platt, con-
sented that the charges against Attorney
Boone be entirely withdrawn and that he
be exonerated from all blame in the
matter.
