for some time past has been residing in
Costa Rica, but recently left Port Limon
for San Juan del Norte. Nicaragua. AT
that place he gathered around him thirty
men. chiefly Colombian exiles. and Sc
cured money and a quantity of small
arms. A small sailing craft was char
tered and the party embarked on the I'd
inst. landing the following day at Ca
hulta, Costa Rica, thirty-five miles south
of Port Limon. Here Garcia took quar-
ters with an American named Rynolds
! and awaited the expected arrival of Co.
lombian exiles from the Interior. In this,
however, he was disappointed, as this
government Immediately stopped commu-
ncation with Port Cahuita and dispatch
ed body of soldiers by land to capture
| the revolutionists. Garcia received warn
| ing of the approach of the troops, and
! with sixty followers embarked in two
small boats for Bocas Del Toro. Colombia.
Upon arriving at that point the party at

EAoAN's APPOINTMENT EXPLAINED
The Order Is Only Conditional on the
wyoming Court.

The Order Is Only Conditional on the
Wyoming Court.
Portland, March 2-There Is apparent
ly a misunderstanding as to the effect of
Judge Gilbert's order appointing John M.
Egan to be Independent receiver of the
Oregon Short Line & Utah Northern
Railroad Company. The order is condi-
tional and is effective only after entry In
the court of Wyoming of an order direct
ing the old receivers to turn over the
property in their hands to Egan. Tech
nichally, this means that should the wy
oming court decide in the Dillon case
that the old receivers should be removed.
Egan would be appointed by that court in
their stead, and by the suit OF the Ameri-
can Loan and Trust Company having
been brought here and appointment of
Egan having been made here first, Judge
Gilbert's court would become of primary
Jurisdiction. Egan would then operate
the property under the direction of the
court of wyoming. from which all orders
would be originally obtained. and all
moneys would be deposited first in Port
land This Is the technical conclusion to
be drawn from the language of the order,
viewed in legal light.
The practical effect, however, will be
to place John NJ. Egan in possession OF the
property as receiver. The American Loan
and Trust Company will pay back the in
terest due on the Dillon mortgage. The
old receivers December last paid the Au-
gust interest on this mortgage and all
that is now due and payable is the Feb
ruary interest, which amounts TO S44I,s5o.
The old receivers have in their hands
funds more than SUFFICIENT to pay the
interest, and in order to secure control
Of the property to Egan as receiver the
American Loan and Trust Company will
advance this amount and wait for Its
return a few weeks until the old receiv-
ers turn over their funds to Egan, when
the latter will then pay back to the trust

Ministers of Each Government Declare
That Their Country Is In
the Right.

Washington, March 20.-The state
ment was published in a local paper
here today that the Mexican congress
would declare war on Guatemala as
soon as congress assembled next month
and a long account of the reasons there
for was given. When the article was
shown to the Guatemalan minister,
with the request that he state the act
ual condition of Guatemalan affairs. he
said: This article contains several in
correct affirmations. 1t Is not true that
Qua temalan authorities invaded Mexi-
can territory for the simple reason that
we do not like to offend any other ma
ton. 1t is not true that the RESPONSE
bility of the delay in the survey of the
boundary line rests upon Guatemala,
beca use the Guatemalan boundary COM
mission of engineers has worked al
ways ahead of the Mexican commission
during the last eight years. 1t is not
true that the Guatemalan government
has received a large revenue for con-
cessions to cut timber. This concession
was almost invariably made in favor of
Mexican citizens and the revenue re-
ceived from this source is almost in
significant. AS far as l am concerned"

In fact, Guatemala has not even in

step. The treaty of 1882 provided for
I placing the monuments to mark the
boundary line and there is no need OF
any new convention or organizing a

is no difference of opinion between the
two governments about the construc
ton of the boundary treaty in so far as
the boundary line is concerned and
therefore, no need of any arbitration
for that purpose. The pending ques

San Francisco, March 1s.-General An

a new rebellion in his interest has taken
place in San Salvador. The last steamer

FOREIGN MINISTER'S UNDlSTURBEO
Cabinet Meeting at Washington known
TO Have Settled That Point.

Washington, March 22.-The cabinet
meeting today lasted but two hours. The
session is said to have been uneventful,
and there is said to have been entire alb
sence of friction between the members.
although the principal subjects under dis
cussion, relating to the various complica-
lions in which we have become involved
with certain foreign causes. were well
calculated to exhibit diversified individ-
.ual views. 1t is presumed that the atti-
tude of Great Britain toward Venezuela
and Nicaragua were canvassed, but as
| far as can be gathered the secretary of
state had no new matter touching this TO
| impart, and 1t was not believed to be nee
essary to take any positive action.
In view of the more weighty matters
now engaging the attention of the admin
| istration, it is stated that foreign minis
| tiers in Washington are likely to be for
| the present left undisturbed in their rela-
| tons with our government
| No answer beyond a purely perfunctory
| one acknowledging the receipt of our
| communication and promising to make
